Zhou Zhong got up very early every day during this time, first entered the palace to ask the Empress Dowager Zhang for peace, and by the way played with the children who lived in the palace for a while, speaking of which the Empress Dowager Zhang loved Xia Xia and these children very much, so since the reunion, let them temporarily live in the palace for a period of time, after all, the Empress Dowager Zhang is usually too lonely.

After leaving Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhou Chong will come to the leopard room where Zhengde lives, and then accompany Zhengde or chat, or make some new things for Zhengde to play, such as badminton and bowling, which are nothing to Zhou Chong, and Zhengde also likes these sports games the most, so he has fun playing every day.

Speaking of Zhou Chong's dedication of badminton to Zhengde, if it is placed in ordinary times, it will definitely arouse the disgust of the ministers in the court, and may even attack it in groups, but Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe took the initiative to beg Zhou Chong before, let him spend more time with Zhengde, and reduce the contact time between His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Bin, so Li Dongyang and others turned a blind eye to Zhou Chong's actions in the palace, and even when they learned that Jiang Bin had not been able to see His Majesty for a month, they were all happy. As for Zhengde having fun every day and ignoring the government, they have long been used to it, anyway, it is not a new thing for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty not to go to court.

When Zhou Chong left the Empress Dowager Zhang and came to the leopard room, he saw Zhengde circling around the things he sent, it seemed that he wanted to play but didn't know how to play.

"Second brother, you can be regarded as here, the person who sent it only knows that this thing is called billiards, but he doesn't know how to play, and he has studied it for a long time for his brother, but he still can't figure out what these balls are for. Hurry up and teach me! Zhengde saw Zhou Zhong coming in, and immediately said excitedly.

Zhou Zhong stepped forward with a smile when he heard this, picked up the triangular basket and received the scattered billiards on the billiard table, and placed them neatly. Only then did he speak: "Brother Huang." This billiards is an aristocratic sport, and there are sixteen balls on the table. One of the white balls is called a rushing ball, and the person participating in billiards can use a cue stick to hit the rushing ball and use it to hit other balls. There are three types of balls that are hit, one is a suit ball, the other is a monocolor ball, plus the only black ball of eight......"

Zhou Chong simply explained the rules of billiards, of course, there is only one kind of billiards that Zhou Chong will play, that is, the most popular Chinese eight-ball in China in later generations. Two people are needed to compete against the game, which is just right for Zhou Zhong and Zhengde to play. Zhengde is also very smart, and after listening to the rules of billiards, he immediately picked up the cue and urged to start. Zhou Zhong first showed Zhengde how to tee off and hit the ball, and then Zhengde couldn't wait to start the first game.

With a crisp impact sound, Zhengde took the lead in kicking off, but the first time he played billiards, he couldn't control the angle at all, so that the rushing ball only hit the ball in the corner and failed to score at all, which made Zhengde a little annoyed. However, Zhou Chong laughed and seized the opportunity to score a few goals in a row, but Zhou Chong's billiards level was also very average, and he conceded again after scoring a few goals.

Although Zhou Chong's technology is just general in later generations, in this era, European billiards has just been invented, and the rules are very simple, which cannot be compared with later generations, so Zhou Zhong can be said to be the first master of billiards in this era, because he is the only one who can play this kind of billiards.

However, I have to say that Zhengde's sports cells are very developed, after losing a few games to Zhou Chong, Zhengde finally mastered the skills of billiards, and turned defeat into victory all of a sudden, and won all the previous losses at once, and even one of the games he ended with one shot, so that Zhou Chong didn't even touch the club.

Although billiards looks simple, it is actually very fascinating, Zhou Zhong remembered that when he was a child, game consoles were not very popular at that time, the streets and alleys were full of people playing billiards, and there were a large number of people around each table, a few cents per game, and a few dollars could be wrapped for half a day, and even some people gambled with billiards, Zhou Zhong also learned billiards at that time, and rarely played billiards when he grew up.

After Zhengde mastered the skills of batting, he was also immediately addicted, and his billiards skills were getting better and better, Zhou Zhong except for winning a few sets at the beginning, the back was almost more lost and won less, and even when it came to the end, it was almost a game without winning, and the two were not heavyweight players at all.

"Haha, although this billiards ball was invented by you, second brother, it's a pity that your skills are really not good!" After Zhengde won Zhou Chong's game with two shots again, he laughed proudly.

"The royal brother is agile, and he is really much stronger than the younger brother!" Zhou Zhong also smiled helplessly, he had to admit that his talent in billiards really couldn't be compared with Zhengde.

Seeing Zhou Zhong admit defeat, Zhengde laughed loudly again, but then he had no interest in playing anymore, after all, the level of the two is too different, but this does not mean that Zhengde is tired of billiards, on the contrary, Zhengde's interest in billiards is still very deep, he has made up his mind in his heart to let people make more billiards, and then let the people around him start playing, and then there will definitely be some masters, with these masters to play with him, it will definitely be more interesting than now.

At this time, it was already noon, and Zhengde asked people to prepare meals, and Zhou Chong, as usual, accompanied Zhengde to have lunch, and the two chatted while eating, sometimes talking about state affairs, but more often it was about some interesting anecdotes, which was Zhou Chong's strength, after all, in the era of the big explosion of knowledge in his previous life, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Chong was exposed to a wide range of knowledge, at least the entire Ming Dynasty could not find anyone who could compare with him.

The content of Zhou Chong's chat with Zhengde today revolves around billiards, after all, Zhengde is very interested in this sport, and Zhou Chong has been sending him a lot of ball games during this time, so Zhengde wants to know how many similar sports Zhou Chong has not handed over.

For Zhengde's inquiry, Zhou Zhong was very complacent, no matter how he said that he was also a person who had watched the Olympics in later life, and he was not proficient in all kinds of sports, but he still knew the general process, even if he didn't know the specific rules, but it was a big deal to add some of his own understanding to make some rules, anyway, no one dared to say that his rules were wrong.

"Second brother, I heard that after you took over the military academy, many new sports have been added, among which there is a sport called football that is very popular among the cadets, and even when it spread to the capital, it also set off a wave. Zhengde suddenly spoke.

Hearing Zhengde mention the football he made in the military academy, Zhou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Huang, during this time, I have made a lot of fun tools, such as the badminton, bowling ball and billiards that were given to the imperial brother before, and in addition, several confrontational sports are also implemented in the military academy, hoping to increase the sense of competition and perseverance of the cadets of the military academy, football is one of them, but in comparison, football is the most failed work of the younger brother!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? Zhengde was also very curious when he heard Zhou Chong's words, the things that Zhou Chong sent during this time were very interesting, and he now regretted it a little, he should have let Zhou Chong return to the capital earlier, so that he would not be so bored.

"This ......" Zhou Zhong didn't seem to know how to answer Zhengde's words at this time, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Brother Huang, let me tell you the rules of football first, the reason why football is called football, as the name suggests, is a ball kicked with feet, which is the same as the Keju in the Tang and Song dynasties......"

Zhou Zhong simply talked about the rules of football, Keju can be said to be the predecessor of football, but Keju was popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, but by the time of the Ming Dynasty, this sport had been weak, at least Zhou Zhong came to Daming for so long, and he had never seen others play Keju. However, the rules of football in later generations are much more complicated than the rules of Keju, and fortunately, Zhengde has a smart brain and can understand the football rules explained by Zhou Zhong, and it feels very interesting.

However, after Zhou Zhong finished talking about the rules of football, he was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Huang, the rules of football are like this, but although I want the football team in the military academy to play football according to the rules, it is a pity that those killers feel that there are too many rules of football, and it is not enjoyable to play, so they changed the rules of football without authorization!" ”

When Zhou Zhong said in the end, he couldn't help but grit his teeth a little, he was also a pseudo-fan in later generations, so he also wanted to get football out in Daming, and it happened that the military school lacked some confrontational games, so Zhou Chong organized several football teams in the military school, and wanted to slowly promote football through the military school, but unfortunately it fell short

"Changed? How did you change it? Zhengde said very curiously.

"This ......, if the royal brother is interested, you can go to the military academy for a spin, I remember that there was a football match in the infantry section this afternoon, but it can't be called football anymore." Zhou Zhong said the name football again with a wry smile.

Seeing Zhou Chong's expression, this made Zhengde also very curious, and hurriedly ate lunch, and then rode to the military academy, but when they arrived at the venue of the game, Zhengde finally understood why Zhou Chong said that football cannot be called football.

For the rules of football, Zhengde had already understood very clearly from Zhou Chong just now, but when he saw the game going on on the field, he was also stunned for a moment, because he couldn't believe it, this is the football that Zhou Chong told him before?
