Chapter 39: The starting lineup
"Yes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Yuze replied without thinking in the face of Han Hui's sudden inquiry, and Han Huo knew that she would answer like this.
"Brother Su went with you, right?"
"Yes!"
Han Huo didn't speak anymore, because he knew that Li Yuze was lying, and he asked her these two questions in a row, just to prove it, but Ouyang Tong, who was sitting next to Han Hui, heard the clue.
"Didn't Brother Su say that he ran into you on the road, and then went back to the dormitory with you?"
"This ......"
In the face of Ouyang Tong's question, Li Yuze really couldn't think of anything to continue making it up, so he glanced at Su Muqing.
"Oh, that's right, after I took him to the infirmary, I went to the library first, and when I came back, I happened to run into him."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Han Huo didn't want to listen to Li Yuze and Su Muqing's arguments at all, because where she went or didn't go, what did it have to do with him, so he said to everyone present: "Don't say it again, let's rest early, the bulletin board said that there will be no more classes tomorrow and the next two days, and they will go to the court to train." ”
After Han Huo finished speaking, he lay down, and Li Yuze saw that he seemed a little unhappy, so he thought about the reason, probably because he lied and said that he was lazy because he had a stomachache, and the others didn't think much about it.
As Han Huo said, in the next two days, all Confucian students will no longer attend classes, and the Confucian students who should train Keju will train, and the Confucian students who should practice shouting and cheering will practice.
After Princess Linchuan and Princess Jinshan returned to the palace, they originally planned to go together to ask the emperor to take them into the country to watch the Keju competition, but now it seems that they have to give up, because they dare not go to their father, and now it is too late for them to hide from the emperor.
The Confucian students have been training intensively for both days in the hope of winning their first victory on the day of the competition.
"Why isn't Lile ready?"
In the face of the clumsy Guozijian labor, Zhu Changcai is now anxious, because the Guozi sacrifice wine ordered him to be responsible for the release of the ceremony, so he has to go back and forth.
"Dr. Zhu, what are you doing so blindly?"
"Don't make trouble here," Zhu Changcai saw Cen Changqian wandering around beside him, he was already upset, and when he heard that he was talking to him, he didn't say to him angrily, "Do you have something to ask me for?" ”
"Do you think I have something to ask you for?"
"It seems to me that you look like your uncle now."
"Hehe, Uncle Zhu still understands me," Cen Changqian saw Dr. Zhu smile, so he took the opportunity to say, "That's the case, I don't want to participate in the Keju competition today, because the other party has my friend Ouyang Tong, but there is Zhou Daowu here, so I want to ask you to arrange a job for me during the memorial ceremony, so that I don't have to Keju." ”
"How can this be done, today's memorial ceremony is no better than that of spring and autumn, and the Keju competition is the highlight of these two days."
"I know, but you can let me be a logistics staff, such as doing a chord for the emperor, so that I don't have to juju."
"Miscellaneous for the emperor? You think it's beautiful, on the other side of the court, the Guozi Festival wine has been arranged. ”
"You can't talk to the kokuko sacrificial wine."
"I can't care about the other side of the pitch, don't mess around with me. Neutrality, you can't do it, so hurry up and figure out how to do it well. ”
"Uncle Zhu, please."
"Hey, Assistant Teacher Li, I'm just looking for you."
Zhu Changcai was tired of Cen Changqian's grinding skills, and at this time, Li Ziyun, an assistant teacher of the four schools, came to him, so he seized the opportunity to talk to him.
Cen Changqian saw that it was useless to ask Zhu Changcai to help him get out, so he had to leave the Confucian Temple and return to the court to prepare for the game.
Because the emperor wants to bring hundreds of officials to watch the Keju competition, so according to the routine etiquette arrangement, the emperor needs to bring hundreds of officials to worship the ancestors, but the scale is not as grand as the spring and autumn half of the month, but playing Chen Yale is still indispensable.
Zhu Changcai is in charge of the Confucian Temple, and the court is responsible for the wine and the priest, and when everything is ready, the emperor will lead the hundred officials to perform the memorial ceremony, and then go to the stadium.
On this side of the court, it has long been prepared, there is a hall on the stage that sits on the south and north for the emperor and hundreds of officials to watch, and there is a rectangular bow field facing east and west under the stage, and the teams stand on this bow court and wait for the review of the Son of Heaven.
There are the emperor's guards standing on both sides of the viewing stage, and then the Confucian scholars who are shouting and cheering are the Guozijian who are holding colorful flags and standing outside the court, each shouting slogans in support of the team.
After the emperor took his seat, the sound of gongs and drums stopped, and the officials who came, some of the scholars in the Guozi Prison, the teams standing on the bowing field, and the Confucian scholars who shouted and cheered, all saluted the Son of Heaven who sat on it, and after the salute, the officials and the Guozi Supervisor sat down in their seats accordingly.
The emperor is on the top position, Kong Yingda, the chief of the country, and Sun Wuji, the chief of the Sikong, sit on the right, and the doctor and other scholars sit on the left, but Li Nanfeng, the prince of the country, did not attend.
This year's Keju competition has a total of eight teams to participate, its Chinese sub-school and Taixue each occupy two, calligraphy and arithmetic due to the small number of Confucian students, each occupies one, and the four schools also occupy two, respectively, there are the red team led by Han Hui and the blue team led by Cui Zhiquan, in previous years, the four schools were sent to participate in the competition, and the last year was the only team of the four schools led by Zhou Daowu to reach the finals, and then won the first place.
Eight teams are grouped by draw, two teams in each group will play a knockout match, a game will be won or lost, and four teams will be eliminated in the end, and the four teams that win will then use the same method to knock out the game until the two teams are decided, and then compete for one or two places, so that the two teams may be at the same school level when they enter the finals, but this does not affect the fight between the two teams at all, because it is not only about the honor of the school level, but also about the honor of each team and each team member.
At this time, the scholar who was responsible for issuing the start and end orders picked up the gong mallet, and at this time, there were already two teams standing on the bow field, one of the two teams of Guozixue and the only team of Shuxue, and the audience members who were standing outside the bow field stopped breathing, looked at the gong mallet in the hand of the scholar, and listened to the sound of gongs and drums.
As the sound of gongs and drums hitting the gongs and drums instantly spread throughout the stadium, everyone watching the game was boiling, and even the emperor, who was sitting on the stage and talking to the kokuko festival, stopped speaking and straightened his neck to look at the bowing field.
The two teams of Juchang have now started playing, because it is the first game, they are very excited, of course, they are also playing very well, don't underestimate the lack of scholars, but the team they formed can be regarded as the strongest team among the eight teams.
The Confucian students in the audience of Guozi and calligraphy cheered for their teams, and when they reached the wonderful places, the doctors of the same academic level sitting on the stage would stand up excitedly and cheer for their Confucian students.
There are 300 Confucian students in Guozi, and there are only 30 Confucian students in Shuxue, so the audience of Guozi is naturally more than that of Shuxue, and the formation of its shouting and cheering is also larger than that of Shuxue, but these do not affect the result of winning or losing, and now the number of goals scored by the Shuxue team is much ahead of Guozixue.
As expected, in the first Keju game, Guozixue lost to Shuxue, because it was the starting lineup of Guozixue, so all the teachers and students of Guozixue present were greatly discouraged, but fortunately, they still have a team to fight again.
