"Football?" Yun Xi was a little puzzled: "Your second aunt has a football at home?" ”

"Yes, Dad, there are a lot of footballs at the second aunt's house, I heard that the second aunt made it by the second aunt, and when he was resting at home, he played football with his subordinates, and said that he would let him play football when the second aunt's child grew up." Min'er said.

"I see." Listening to Min'er's words, Yun Xi already understood the reason why Yang Feng had prepared so many soccer balls at home.

Yun Xi is very fond of football, although the Chinese football team in later generations made fans sad, but this does not affect Yun Xi thinks that this sport is very good, and the Chinese football team has not always been so bad, and it was also the strongest team in Asia before the 80s.

Since the Song Dynasty has come to China's culture has been biased towards the weak culture, although there is a hundred years of Wuwei rule in the Mengyuan Dynasty and the influence of the early years of the Ming Dynasty to advocate both civil and military affairs, but the wind of weak literature has not been completely eliminated, and the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty is actually biased towards the weak culture, but Yunxi can not be abolished, so that if you do not intervene and let it develop freely, sooner or later it will be the same as the late Ming Dynasty in history.

Yun Xi has reformed the imperial examination system, reduced the number of jinshi admissions, and gradually reduced the privileges of jinshi and juren, but other means are needed to change this trend in a short period of time.

Promoting football is one of the means. Football is a sport, it is a sport that consumes physical strength, and it is a sport that can exercise the body, as long as football can be promoted throughout the country, especially if the goal of playing football can be achieved, it will form a question among the talents of the whole country who are willing to play football, and change the social atmosphere of taking the weak as the good.

But this is not enough, scholars like Xiucai can influence the atmosphere of the people, at this time in the hearts of the people are still very status, but also can affect the atmosphere of the people, although because the gap between the number of nobles and scholars is too large, so the scope of influence is small, but it can always affect a part. Therefore, Yun Xi also summoned many nobles and asked them to promote football in their own homes and among their subordinates. Yun Xi doesn't ask people who are already officials to play football by themselves, but only asks them to let their children play football. In order to make the nobles happy to promote football, Yunxi has even decided to promote the nobles who play football well for the children in the family.

Yang Feng naturally would not let go of such an opportunity. He was already very satisfied that he could be made an earl and become a member of the nobility, and he had no pursuit of life; But after Yunxi married the princess, his thoughts changed again, from being satisfied as an ordinary nobleman, to wanting to go a few more steps and become the top nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. 'Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang, can become the top honor of the Ming Dynasty as a relative, why can't I? So he tried his best to cater to Yun Xi's reforms, as long as Yun Xi proposed it, he firmly supported it, and anyway, as a new noble, he didn't have too many interest disputes to consider.

After Yun Xi and the nobles said that they should promote football, Yang Feng realized that this was an opportunity. Yun Xi's idea for more than ten years has always been to dislike weak scholars, and he can see that promoting football is a means to squeeze out weak scholars, which will not change, and at this time, he can get Yun Xi's favor by showing his support for this policy. Therefore, Yang Feng actively promoted football, and tried his best to promote football for the few cronies he had accumulated in the battle to conquer the Western Regions; He doesn't have any children at home and plays soccer in his spare time. He believed that what he had done would be known to Yun Hee.

I have to say that Yang Feng's abacus was not wrong. This time, through Min'er's mouth, his actions were indeed known to Yun Xi, and Yun Xi did think in his heart: 'Yang Feng is so active in promoting football, and he is my brother-in-law, he should indeed be promoted, so that the hundred officials know what I think. ’

Just as he was thinking about it, Min'er complained again: "Daddy, my daughter also heard that playing football was first proposed by Daddy this time, so that all the students in the martial arts hall can play football, and it will even be counted in the exam results; The noble family was also instructed by his father to let the children in the family play football; But why don't you promote football in the palace? ”

"Football is really fun, my daughter and Sister Siqi form a team, Wen Yao and Wen Yuan and Wen Qi form a team, kicking each other around, I don't think it at first, but I was slowly attracted to it, and I like it very much."

"Min'er, you will all follow the master of martial arts to practice martial arts in the palace, Daddy promotes football in Xungui's house to strengthen the body, you have been able to strengthen your body by practicing martial arts, where do you need to promote football?" Yoon-hee replied. After he succeeded to the throne, Yun Lan and Yun Yun didn't care, but the young children had to practice martial arts regardless of gender, even if the girls were just practicing Zama steps, they had to practice.

"But practicing martial arts is boring, but playing football is fun." Min'er said.

"Uncle, Siqi thinks it's not bad to promote football in the palace instead of practicing martial arts." Lan Siqi said at this time: "Uncle, you let us practice martial arts just to exercise our bodies, and you don't want us to become weak women and weak scholars, but you don't want us to become generals who can lead troops to fight." ”

"In that case, why not use football instead of martial arts? Kicking a ball is just as good as a workout, and it's fun. So uncle, it's better to promote football in the palace. ”

"That's right! What Sister Siqi said was what Min'er wanted to say. Daddy, allow us to play football in the palace. Min'er hurriedly said again.

What Lan Siqi said did make sense, and seeing Min'er looking at him pitifully, Yun Xi's heart softened, and he was about to agree.

But at this moment, a mournful cry of horses was heard from the front, and the carriage shook a little before stopping.

"What happened?" Yun Xi asked by lifting the curtain, and at the same time saw that the coachman had already got out of the carriage and walked to a horse and was hugging its neck. The horse was visibly frenzied, and kept lifting its limbs up and down, its nose rattling.

"Childe, just now a ball suddenly flew out from the side and hit the chasing wind. Childe, although Chasing the Wind is just a horse pulling a cart, he has never been beaten like this, he was a little frightened for a while, and the next person was comforting him, and he was really shocked. The driver said. He then complained: "Who is this family so careless, kicking the ball to the middle of the road!" ”

The coachman actually hated the person who kicked the ball to the wind chaser at this time. He has been raising horses in the palace since he was more than ten years old, and he has been raising this horse for more than ten years, and he has been raising this horse for six or seven years, and he has a deep affection for chasing the wind. It's just that he is worried that the road he is taking now is Hongwu Street, and there are mansions of the Ming noble family on both sides of the road, and he doesn't dare to offend these nobles, so he can only say this.

Hearing the coachman's words, Yun Xi noticed that there was a round football at his feet, looked at the mansions on both sides of the road, and thought to himself, 'This must be the child of the family who kicked the ball near the courtyard wall and accidentally kicked the ball onto the road.' Not really. ’

He was about to say a few words to appease the coachman and ask him to change to a horse-drawn cart, when he suddenly saw several children running out of the alley between the two noble mansions on the right, standing at the mouth of the alley and looking around. One of the children saw the soccer ball at the driver's feet and beckoned the other children to come and pick it up.

Most of the children picked up the soccer ball and were about to run away, and the driver was angry and reached out to grab a child's clothes and was about to reprimand, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a child say: "This gentleman, I wonder if the ball we kicked hit you?" Or crashed into your stuff? ”

"If it hits you, Xiao Ke can apologize to you; If you break your belongings, we are willing to compensate you according to the price. ”

"This," the coachman was stunned for a moment when he heard the child's words, and his hand unconsciously let go of the child's clothes. As a man in the palace who raised horses for the emperor, it was not that no one had ever patted his horses and praised him in fleshy words, but no one had ever spoken to him in such a tone. The child's tone was as if he were a respectable person.

Seeing that the coachman didn't answer, the child wanted to say something, and suddenly another child reached out and grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Yu, he's just a subordinate, a chauffeur who drives the car, where is it worth talking to him in such a tone?" ”

"And he's such a subordinate, what does it matter if the ball hits him? and you can't kill anyone; Even if something is damaged, just compensate according to the price, and that's how to talk about it. ”

"Besides, even if you talk about compensation, you have to talk to the master, and what to say to such a subordinate." When the child, who was speaking very arrogantly, said this, he turned his head to look at Yun Xi. He was about to say, "Did you break something?" If there is a price, Young Master Ben will pay you", but as soon as he saw Yun Xi's face, he felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "I've seen ,......"

"Although your soccer ball almost broke your cousin's horse, and if your cousin told me to your father, his father would have punished you, but you don't have to get down on your knees on the road and salute me. Hurry up! Yun Xi hurriedly said.

"Yes, cousin." The child stood up tremblingly, his voice still trembling slightly.

Yun Xi jumped out of the carriage, walked over to the child, and said to him again, "My horse was hit by that football, and you kicked it?" ”

"No, it was kicked out by a subordinate. The nephew of the right talent, with, played football with several subordinates, and one of the subordinates accidentally kicked the football outside the house. Nephew, nephew hurriedly took someone out to find this ball. He replied with a slight trembling.

"Even so, Uncle Cousin has to teach you a good lesson!" After Yun Xi said this, he pulled him to the back of the carriage, as if to reprimand him seriously.

Several of his subordinates looked at him with worried expressions. But they are not worried about this little master of their own house, but about themselves. This little master's temper has never been very good, he was reprimanded by his cousin, and he didn't look for them to be angry when he turned around?

At the same time, they also thought to themselves, 'Who is this man whose name is his cousin?' Why is the little young master so afraid of him? Never seen this person before? ’

……

……

Yun Xi pulled the child to the back of the carriage, and seeing that they were completely blocked by the carriage, no one could see it, so he let go of the hand holding the child, lowered his voice and asked, "Which child are you?" Why do you know me? ”

It turned out that Shicai Yunxi didn't recognize who the child was at all, but he could tell that he knew himself through the child's movements, so he immediately decided to call himself the child's cousin and stopped what he was going to say later. At the same time, under the pretext of reprimanding him, he was pulled behind the carriage and questioned him in detail.

When the child heard Yun Xi's question, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the villain is Chang Jichang." Your Majesty, you have been to the villain's house, and you have been to the villain's house this year, and the villain has seen you, so you recognize it. ”

"Chang Jichang? Are you the son of Chang Sheng, or the son of Chang Sen? As soon as Yun Xi heard the name, he knew that he was from the Chang family, and asked. He did go to Changfu once this year when he often encountered the Spring Death Day, and he also met the children of the Chang family's successors. But with so many little kids, how can he have the mind to remember them one by one?

"My father's name is always rising." Chang Jichang replied.

For it was the son of the ascendant. Yun Xi said something in his heart, then lowered his head and said to him: "After a while, I am not allowed to reveal my identity to the people in your house, if I do, I will definitely not spare you!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." He hurriedly agreed.
