"Brother Chen recently heard that outside the Anfu Gate, there are often people performing acrobatic performances, and Brother Chen just wants to take his wife and concubines and children to watch, and the saint wants to go with me to have a look." Li Ke did not talk about military affairs, but talked about folk art.

"Many folk craftsmen rely on this art to support their families, and their families rely on the money from selling art every day to make a living." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"I never thought that the imperial brother would understand it so clearly, and the younger brother was ashamed." Li Ke said.

"As an emperor, I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I don't know anything, and I often let people pass on the situation outside the palace into the palace, and it is also my responsibility to understand the people's feelings."

"But when I heard you talk about this, I also heard some things about the Hu people, who came to Chang'an and brought some exotic shows, and they also performed in Chang'an." Li Chengqian said.

"I heard that the women of the Western Regions are different from my Han women, and in comparison, the women of the Western Regions are even wilder." Li Ke said.

"What? If you are interested in the women of the Western Regions, then I will ask the Uighurs, Turks, Servant Bones and other tribes to select some beautiful women from the Western Regions who can sing and dance and send them to you, and they will all reward you. Li Chengqian said.

"Brother Huang laughed, the younger brother is just a little curious, the younger brother still likes the beauties of my Tang Dynasty, not to mention, the younger brother is dedicated to the great cause of the Tang Dynasty, and he really has no intention of thinking about it." Li Ke said with a smile.

Li Chengqian smiled but did not say anything after hearing this.

The emperor's guard of honor entered Chang'an in a mighty way, and returned to the Taiji Palace, where Li Chengqian and Li Ke got out of the car.

"Brother Chen's first retire!" Li Ke crossed his hands and saluted.

"It's good! Go ahead! Li Chengqian said.

Looking at Li Ke's departing figure, Li Chengqian felt that he had a look at Anfumen, so he turned around and walked towards Anfumen, he wanted to see how the living standards of the people of Datang were now.

The streets of Chang'an City are very lively, the traffic is busy, Li Chengqian climbed the Anfumen City Tower, looking into the distance.

On the lively Chang'an Street, in addition to the walking peddlers and pawns, there are entertainers and sellers who walk in the streets and alleys.

The seller is walking the streets and alleys selling his goods with the goods on his back.

Street performers perform various acrobatic tricks such as finding a ding, finding a building, swallowing a knife, and spitting fire to passers-by, in order to win the attention of others and welcome the exclamations and screams of passers-by.

There are also music and dances dressed as characters, "Ichthyosaurus Manyan" dressed as animals, and "Donghai Huanggong" with a simple story.

In short, these jugglers are varied, and the people who watch them are dazzled, and the crowd of onlookers, in addition to applause and screams, will also take out some copper coins to reward these street performers.

These busker entertainers earn their living expenses by performing acrobatics, which is their only source of income.

Now Datang is stable and prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the living standard has also improved a lot, and everyone has spare money in their hands.

With spare money in hand, watching these street jugglers naturally make it easier to give rewards, and these street craftsmen are easier to make money than before.

No need to worry about tomorrow's meal, although you can't be prosperous and rich, there is no problem with three meals.

After watching the juggling, Li Chengqian had a general understanding of the living standards of the people in Chang'an.

Li Chengqian continued to look, his gaze stayed in the distance, there was a group of Hu people bowing, and there were even people who opened the market to bet on winning or losing.

After watching it for a while, he felt bored, and Li Chengqian left the Anfumen City Tower and went back to the palace.

The next day, when Li Chengqian was discussing political affairs with the minister, he talked about what he saw when he climbed the Anfumen Tower.

said to the minister: "Yesterday, I climbed the city tower to observe the customs and folklore of my Tang Dynasty, whether it is extravagant or frugal, not for vocal entertainment. ”

"I heard that Hu Ren is good at the game of bowing, and I once wanted to see for myself, whether Hu Ren is really good at bowing, I want to compare, whether I am a Tang warrior or Hu Ren." Li Chengqian said.

The people of the Tang Dynasty liked to bow and would come to a game whenever they had free time, especially among the nobles, even in the palace.

The game of bowing is actually playing polo, which is a kind of sports activity that is used to ride on a horse and hit the ball with a polo stick.

Juju was the most luxurious sporting and entertainment activity in ancient times, and it is said to have originated in Persia, and this violent and exciting polo was deeply loved by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Polo is also an extremely dangerous pastime, once you fall off a horse, it is a trivial matter to break your muscles and bones, and it is common to die.

No matter how dangerous this kind of sport is, among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, there were several who liked to love this kind of sports entertainment.

Emperors Zhongzong, Xuanzong, Muzong, Jingzong, Xuanzong, Xuzong, and Zhaozong were all advocates and participants in polo.

Among these emperors, Tang Xuanzong was the most fanatical polo element, and in the sixth year of Tianbao, Tang Xuanzong issued a special edict ordering polo to be one of the subjects of military training.

Li Chengqian has no interest in polo at all, let alone likes to play polo, and he rarely rides even horses, let alone playing high-risk sports activities that may lead to missing arms and legs at any time, and even have life-threatening sports.

Is it bad to be alive?

"Sage, it's better to hold a bowing competition in the palace, so that Hu Ren can see the demeanor of my Datang." An official said.

He thought that Li Chengqian was also a fanatical polo element, so he proposed this to Li Chengqian.

"Yesterday, when I first climbed the tower, I saw a large number of Hu people bowing, and some people even opened a gambling game, betting on the winning or losing of that team."

"Hu people think that they love to bow very much, how can the emperor be reckless at will? I have ordered the bow to be burned. ”

"I hope that this will put an end to the idea that the Hu people are secretly observing the emperor's preferences, and I will also take this as a warning." Li Chengqian glanced at the official and said.

When the officials heard this, they were shocked! He could hear it, it turned out that the emperor didn't like polo, and maybe he hated such entertainment.

He originally wanted to vote for the emperor's favor and slapped the horse, but he didn't expect the horse's fart to be slapped on the horse's leg.

The official trembled with fear, and now his bowels were blue.

Everyone else cast a look of pity at him.

"That's it for today, let's all disperse!" Li Chengqian said that he did not mean to blame the official.

He wouldn't just do anything to that official for the sake of a suggestion, and he wouldn't be so stingy.

"Wait for the resignation!" The ministers got up and took their leave, and withdrew.

After leaving the main hall, the official who proposed that Li Chengqian organize a polo match was relieved, but fortunately, the emperor did not blame, otherwise, his career would be dark.
