Wei Lao forgot the polo match held in July? ”

King Ji explained.

"The polo fields in the East Inner Garden have been expanded, and I heard that they are very large and spectacular, costing more than 300,000 yuan. The final touches are now underway, and when the polo match officially begins, you will be able to see what it really looks like.

The people from the military background that Wei Lao saw should be the participating teams from all over the world.

Such a large-scale polo game should be the largest since the establishment of Datang. King Ji said with emotion.

During Li Yi's reign, Chang'an was not without polo games, but the scale was not as big as this time.

The forbidden army alone had fifteen teams, and in addition, each feudal town and province sent teams to participate.

Although it is not known how many teams will participate in the end, there are more than 20 teams that have arrived so far.

The forbidden army teams outside have all arrived, and unlike other teams who live in special accommodations in the city, the forbidden army lives in the camp of the Zuo Tiance army outside the city.

During this time, the forbidden army was also fighting with each other, and the location was naturally the school field of the Zuo Tiance Army, the Zuo Shenwei Army, and the left and right prison guards.

The Privy Council issued an order, and the main purpose of this polo match was to deter the local feudal towns, so the forbidden army must also unite and cooperate to get a good ranking in this polo match.

"Wouldn't it be too wasteful to spend 300,000 yuan to build a polo field?" Wei Zhuang looked a little worried.

"Wei Lao said cautiously." King Ji lowered his voice and reminded, "Holy matters, let's not speculate wildly. However, this king knows one thing, that is, the money for this polo field is not from the treasury, but from the royal treasury of Taifu Temple. ”

"From Taifu Temple?"

Although he learned that the money was the royal family's own money, Wei Zhuang was still a little angry.

Because after the Huangchao Rebellion, he went through most of the Tang Dynasty, went to Youzhou and Zhengding in the north, Fuzhou in the south, Xingyuan in the west, and Quzhou in the east.

He has a good understanding of the situation in Datang today.

Except for Guanzhong, Shudi and Hedong, other places are basically wars and chaos, and the Central Plains region has become a pot of porridge.

Wars are frequent, and the unlucky people are naturally ordinary people.

The people were displaced, their wives were separated, and they were starved, but the saint spent a lot of money in Chang'an to build a polo field just for watching the polo game.

Thinking of the saint he had seen before, Wei Zhuang found it hard to believe that this was something that was done by one person.

"Old Wei, don't think about it so much. This king knows what you want to say, but you see that today's Chang'an is full of vitality, which is much better than the Qianfu and Guangming periods, and can even be compared to the Xiantong period.

It's just a polo field, so don't worry so much. This king spent 500 yuan to buy the ticket for the entire polo game, and he could bring up to five people in, and Wei Lao happened to have finished the scientific examination, so he went to watch the polo game together. ”

Not to mention, the Li Tang royal family has a natural love for polo in their bones, needless to say, Li Yi and Li Ye, King Ji is also a polo lover, and he usually plays polo.

"Then thank Your Highness for your kindness!"

。。。。。。

"This is Chang'an City? So majestic? ”

Outside Chang'an City, seeing the majestic city in front of them, a group of teams who arrived in Chang'an City from a long distance sighed from the bottom of their hearts.

"It is estimated that Hangzhou is not even half of Chang'an City!"

"What half, I guess not even half of half."

"Alright, don't guess. This Chang'an City is ten times the size of Hangzhou City. You must know that the population of Chang'an City was more than one million people at its peak, and there were only a few people in Hangzhou.

What you see is not even the outer city of Chang'an City, and it is the real Chang'an City when you enter this Mingde Gate, but it is only the outer city of Chang'an. Luo Yin looked at this Chang'an City, and his heart was also full of emotion.

If it weren't for the thieves of Huangchao who started a rebellion, it is estimated that he would not be able to go to Qian Biao now.

Luo Yin is the same as many talents, that is, he always fails to pass the Jinshi exam.

This year's Luo Yin is 58 years old, he has been admitted to the Jinshi since he was 26 years old, and he has been taking the exam for seven years in one go, and then he didn't pass the exam.

Later, I took the exam several times intermittently, and I didn't miss the exam twelve or three times in total, which is known as "not the top ten".

Although Luo Yin is talented, he has nothing to do with the romance. Generally, the talents in a woman's heart are talented, jade-tree-like, personable, gentle and affectionate, but Luo Yin is really ugly.

Although he is a second-generation official and talented, he can't run away from being poor.

If it weren't for his ugliness, maybe he would have become Zheng Jin's son-in-law, but unfortunately in the end, when Zheng Jin's daughter found out that this 'suave' talent in her heart looked like that, she directly burned all Luo Yin's works, and never mentioned that she liked Luo Yin's poems.

It seems that ancient times were also a society that looked at faces.

Luo Yin also has a problem with not being able to pass the Jinshi exam, that is, he likes to write satirical articles, which is more poisonous than Wen Xian's poisonous tongue.

If you take the imperial examination, you can't write a good article that praises you, but he wants to satirize those in power, and after reading the papers, can he be happy?

That's why a bad mouth hurts people.

But he not only stinks his mouth, but also writes it.

Although he has never been able to pass the Jinshi examination, because of his talent, he has also been appreciated by many dignitaries and nobles, and has become a guest of honor in these people's mansions.

Until Huangchao rebelled, disrupting his good life, he was also forced to live in Chizhou, and finally began to live in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain, studying Buddhism to pass the time.

Maybe he felt that it was not a matter to live in seclusion like this, but he couldn't bear it anymore and took refuge in Qian Biao.

This time he returned to Chang'an, which was the mission of Qian Biao to meet the dignitaries in the court, hoping to be recognized by the court.

Participating in a polo match or something, it's all fake.

The reason why Luo Yin sighed in his heart was because he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to return to Chang'an, and looking at the Chang'an in front of him, where he had been for more than 20 years, he was naturally full of emotion.

"And this is just the outer city?"

Hearing Luo Yin's introduction, these Hangzhou soldiers next to him were a little surprised.

In their eyes, Hangzhou is already a big city, and they haven't found a bigger city than Hangzhou along the way. I didn't expect to go to Chang'an, only to find that Hangzhou is so small.

This is also normal, the rise of Hangzhou has a lot to do with Qian Biao and Wu Yueguo in history.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, it reached its peak and became the most populous city in China at that time.

"Let's go, take you to the real Chang'an City to open your eyes."

As he spoke, Luo Yin ordered the carriage in front of him to open the way, and the whole team slowly began to move forward. However, when they walked and observed the outside of Chang'an City and came to the city gate, they were blocked by the sergeant on duty. I want to talk about "Rebirth of Tang Zhongxing" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
