Chapter 44: New Year's Banquet

Before you know it, the New Year has arrived, and because of the ice hockey promoted by Li Liangzuo in the court, ice hockey has spread throughout Xingqing Mansion in a short period of time, especially those families have formed their own ice hockey teams; There are many large and small lakes around Xingqing Province, and these lakes have now become training grounds for these ice hockey teams.

After Li Liangzuo's consent, the Imperial Forest Army stationed in the capital also carried out the sport of ice hockey, and even became one of the training projects of the Royal Forest Army in winter, and ice hockey has been widely carried out in Western Xia since then.

Hanyuan Palace, New Year's court.

Hanyuan Hall is the largest palace of the Xixia Palace, some of the main celebrations and major events of the Western Xia are held here, the name of the Hanyuan Hall comes from the Hanyuan Hall in the Daming Palace of the Tang Empire, for the entire Xixia, the Tang Empire has an unparalleled status in the hearts of the Xixia royal family and nobles.

At that time, it was because of the tolerance of the Tang Empire that the Dangxiang clan could thrive on the land of China, so the culture of the Western Xia largely inherited the cultural spirit of the Tang Empire; In Li Liangzuo's heart, the Tang Dynasty has always been the place he yearns for, and Li Liangzuo wants to build a great empire that is more prosperous than the Tang Dynasty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the New Year's court, what is the beginning of your Aiqing?" Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair in a splendid dragon robe and asked.

All the ministers knelt on the ground together and said to Li Liangzuo: "On the occasion of the New Year, the ministers wish Your Majesty a long life, and wish the Great Xia Kingdom prosperity, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Li Liangzuo laughed when he heard this: "Everyone, Aiqing, let's all be flat!" I also hope that all of you Aiqing can be promoted and promoted to knighthood in the new year! ”

Seeing Li Liangzuo smiling, all the ministers also laughed, Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair majestically and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I recently heard that all of you Aiqing's families have formed an ice hockey team, and I intend to let all teams compete and win the team I will personally commend you, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that we can hold a game to see who is the strongest ice hockey team." Li Yi stood up first and said.

"I thought I could also hold a competition to win for the Great Xia Kingdom in the new year." Didn't hide it, Pang stood up and agreed.

"Ministers seconded the ......"

"The city also seconded the ......"

All the other ministers stood up and agreed, and Li Liangzuo said with excitement on his face: "Ha, ha, ha...... Okay, great, little Fuzi, take out what I have prepared! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty......" Xiao Fuzi walked in with a tray after speaking, the tray was covered with red brocade, Li Liangzuo stood up from the dragon chair, uncovered the red brocade and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is specially made by the Shangyi Supervisor, this trophy is one of my rewards for the winning team this time, and the winning team will each be rewarded with ten horses and ten taels of gold." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming ......," the ministers praised.

"In that case, you Aiqing should go back and prepare! Where is this contest? Located on the ice lake outside the Jiangnan Pavilion, I am waiting for the arrival of all Aiqing in the Jiangnan Pavilion. After Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he left the Hanyuan Palace.

All the ministers said in unison: "Ministers send your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Xiang Guofu, the national minister did not hide Pang returned to the mansion, and called everyone from Tushan and the ice hockey team, in the eyes of Wu Zang Pang, this game is not just a game, but a challenge to the royal dignity, if you can win the royal ice hockey team, it is equivalent to a slap in the face of Li Liangzuo.

Wu Zang Pang sat on the main seat, Wu Zang Tu Shan stood at the bottom left, and the rest of the team members stood on both sides and listened to the instructions of the Zang Pang; "Your Majesty is holding an ice hockey tournament in the palace this time, no matter what, you have to win this game, as long as you win, each person will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 100 hectares of fertile land."

"We will obey the orders of Xiangguo." All the team members said in unison.

He nodded and continued: "In order to win this victory, the Prime Minister named you the Brave Invincible Team. ”

Jiangnan Pavilion, above the glacial lake.

This has become the training ground of the Royal Ice Hockey Team, every day Li Liangzuo will come here to stay for a period of time, under Li Liangzuo's training, the Royal Ice Hockey Team can be said to be making rapid progress and greatly increasing its combat power, for the time being, the Royal Ice Hockey Team should be able to play invincible opponents all over the world.

In order to facilitate the viewing of the ministers, many seats are arranged around the ice lake, and there is a pair of hot pot on the table in front of each seat, Li Liangzuo and these ministers can eat hot pot while watching the football game, in this era of lack of entertainment, this is simply a great enjoyment!

The game soon began, and after a fierce competition, more than 30 teams finally entered the top five, which were Li Liangzuo's royal team, the brave invincible team that did not hide the false Pang, the Sa Zilu team of Wei Ge Ningling, the Xuanwu team of Nuo Yixiangdu, and Gao Huaizheng's Prison Bull team.

"Your Majesty, according to the ranking of points, the Prime Minister's Brave Invincible Team is only one point behind us, look at our ......" Li Yi came to Li Liangzuo's side and asked.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "It's okay, calm and command, I believe in you, it's up to you whether I can keep this face or not." ”

"Yes, the last general will live up to His Majesty's expectations......" Li Yi said with a salute.

After Li Yi left, the queen and Concubine Su arrived in full costume, Li Liangzuo beckoned to the two and let the two come to their side, and the ministers saw the queen and Concubine Su and immediately saluted: "The ministers will meet the queen and Concubine Su." ”

"Excuse me, all of you!" Didn't hide Feixue said majestically.

After a knockout round, finally came to the final showdown between the royal team and the brave invincible team, at the beginning of the game the two sides entered the white-hot level, the two teams have never pulled the score apart, which made the ministers watching the game immediately come to the spirit, this game began to affect the face of the emperor and Xiangguo.

Soon it was time for halftime, Li Liangzuo beckoned to Li Yi, and Li Yi came to Li Liangzuo to plead guiltily: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent and did not pull the score away." ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Liangzuo said; "Originally, I just wanted to engage in a relaxing entertainment project for everyone, it seems that I still look too shallow, I didn't expect the Minister of State to care so much, Li Yi, you remember that this time not only to win, but also to win, so that you don't hide the shame Pang regret not worry, since he wants to slap my face, then I will slap his face first;

Remember not to stretch the score too much, after the start of the second half, you can let the Brave Invincible team overtake us, and wait until the end to win by one point. ”

"Yes, the last general will swear to complete the mission......" Li Yi knelt down on one knee and took the holy oracle.

Li Liangzuo's words were heard word for word by Wuzang Feixue, and then Wuzang Feixue realized that her husband and father had reached the point of blending water and fire, but as the queen, Wuzang Feixue was more oriented to her husband, after all, she married her husband, and now the royal family is her home.

At the beginning of the second half of the ice hockey game, the Royal team and the Brave Invincible Team were still evenly matched, but the deadlock was soon broken, and the main player of the Brave Invincible Team personally took the ball, accurately grasped a flaw in the Royal team at halftime, and hit the ball directly into the goal; Wu Zang, who was sitting below, was extremely excited, and the corners of Li Liangzuo's mouth rose to reveal a strange and treacherous smile.
