Queen Wang openly stopped Li Longji's steps before, and then admonished those good words, followed by the Son of Heaven and summoned Jiang Du Dou Ye and Cui Jianxuan into the palace, but this Xingshi questioning finally turned into a fight on the polo field, and finally ended in a draw, and the five young people who played with the Son of Heaven were each given a bow stick. For Luoyang, the eastern capital where the news circulates the fastest, such things are simply ups and downs, which is unexpected, and what is even more surprising is that after the five people left the palace, Jiang Du, the son of Jiang Jiao, the prince of Chu, shouted that he was full of shijie and planned to hold a polo jīng English tournament vigorously.

And the people who were skeptical about the Caitou Sect were shocked - the bounty was 500 yuan

Anyone who has gathered a team of five people and five horses can sign up for the competition, and then draw lots to catch each other in groups, but if you can make it all the way to the top 32, you can immediately reap a lot of money from each game. From the top 32 to the top 500, some people have calculated the number of wins all the way to the top spot, and the huge amount of money is enough to ⊥ people breathless.

But this is the biggest temptation for ordinary people, but it is not worth mentioning for the children of the family. But when I heard that, the two teams that finally stood out were able to fight against each other in front of the emperor, and they would inevitably usher in the attention of the Son of Heaven, especially against the backdrop of Cui Jianxuan and others who had been given before, this was naturally credible, and it immediately caused a lot of sensation.

Polo originally came from Tubo, and it has become more and more popular since Zhongzong, so Cui Jianxuan and others have lost many teams in a row in the past few months, but they have not suffered defeats, just because they are all noble children, and their momentum is big, and after they were summoned by the emperor to win the jackpot, some people are naturally angry. For a while, the simple registration form and the corresponding rule list for five cents were swept away almost as soon as they came out, and there were more than 1,000 copies printed before and after. As for the printed booklet for the children of the family in the polo match, although a thin piece of paper costs the same money, Cui Jianxuan thought that he would not be able to sell it at all before printing it, but when the final result came out, he found that there were also three or four hundred copies, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"Du Nineteen, won't there really be more than a thousand teams to sign up when you look back? That is, it may not be able to be compared to a year, how can so many people come to buy that kind of booklet, isn't it just a painting of the bow stick given to us by Bixia? If you want to participate in a group of five people, buy a copy and refer to it carefully. ”

"Regardless of whether the children of the family will participate or not, they can buy a copy and ponder it back, so as not to be completely unaware when others ask, which is normal. Who would borrow money from someone else? As for ordinary people, five cents is not much, so some idlers buy a copy and watch it lively. As for the number of participants, you don't have to worry. ”

Du Shiyi smiled slightly, crossed his fingers and said: "Polo is no better than others, it requires horses, a bowing staff, and a hard work to practice, so those who can immerse themselves in this are either you children of families who really like equestrian polo, or those domestic slaves who want to fight for the face of the master's family, or idlers who are not engaged in production and are good at fighting fiercely, no matter what kind of person, how can it be possible to swarm out of 18,000?" And let the children of the family compete with those with humble status, and they are uncomfortable with each other.

So you get the final decision from the Imperial Palace, and that's the solution to the problem. Promise to the common people, and promise the name to the children of the family. Although the children of the family have a shade, it is common for one generation to be worse than the next, and show their faces in front of the palace to let Bixia remember, those who have competed with you Jiang Du Dou Yi will be tempted, and those who come to reward money are high, and there is no burden. It's just that the difference between the top and bottom can't be forgotten, the civilians directly participate in the qualifiers, and as for the children of the family, they start from the main competition, so they are eliminated in ...... round."

The Du family was called the Shi clan back then, but in fact, it was almost humble, and if the Chibi and others he could use were not donated by the Cui family, it would take a long time to cultivate them by himself. Among the slaves and maids bought from the market, it may be possible to find materials that can be made with various talents or potentials, but it is not so easy for jīng to be skilled in equestrianism and extraordinary in body. Horizontal, he doesn't want a winner who everyone is looking at, although he can't blatantly accumulate people in a place like Chang'an and Luoyang, but he can put it in a place where others don't pay much attention to

Since the momentum was created, Cui Jianxuan also listened to him, and went out every day with great interest, Du Shiyi invited Jiang Du again, and asked him carefully about what happened when he first entered the palace. When he learned that the Son of Heaven Li Longji was quite annoyed at first, and then turned his anger into joy under their explanation one by one, he remembered the advice he heard from the queen when he was in the province, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Cui Jianxuan's equestrian skills are familiar, and he plays polo quite well, so he designed such a method for him to become famous, I thought that one of Dou Yi Jiang Du's fathers was the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and the other was the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven

"The queen is too anxious." Jiang Du seems to be a person who is not the king and queen of the world, but an ordinary woman, and there is not much respect in his tone, "The matter of the county lord of Lantian has nothing to do with her, but she uses the topic because of other people's three or two crying." Now it's the same thing this time, we played our polo, and it didn't hinder her from making such a big fuss, but it ended up like this, and my heart was even more depressed, why bother? ”

"Not this." Du Shiyi knew that Jiang Du didn't have much interest in the affairs of the palace, so he only mentioned it casually just now, so he changed his words, "Cui Shiyi, that guy boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor, and now he is doing this with great interest, so he can only drag you and Dou Shilang into the water together." I am looking for you today, but for another matter, that is, the folk game that the sage also mentioned before. ”

Jiang Du immediately put aside the previous messy thoughts, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you think that this polo game will become bigger and bigger, and this game will get bigger and bigger?" ”

"That's right, it's better to be sparse than to let some people toss around underground, and then not only mess up the rules, but also mess up the situation, it's better to try to control these gambling games within a certain range. The Tianshui Jiang clan is also an old family, and all aspects of the relationship in the Eastern Capital can always be sorted out, or a person who is a jīng Yu will come out to win the village, or Yu Crisp will take over an underground, set the odds according to the winning rate, and gamble. For example, if one party is injured accidentally, all bets will be returned on the spot, so as to avoid a big gambler's plot. Rules like this might as well be set in detail......"

Listening to Du Shiyi, a typical scholar, actually spit out this kind of gambling money, Jiang Du couldn't help but be stunned. When he was finished, he laughed: "Where are you doing a game, you are obviously worried that someone will play too much and lose all your net worth, and you are worried about the black smoke and miasma outside the arena, I understand what you mean, I will handle this matter." It just so happened that I was almost reprimanded by the saint for some reason last time, and I also have to find those three-sect and nine-rate accounts well, this time it is a good opportunity to hand over the things on the polo field to Cui Shiyi, and I will clean up the things outside, and pull Dou Shilang, this weight is enough"

Du Shiyi was not interested in this kind of underground business, but he didn't want to bother to make wedding clothes for others, so since Jiang Du was willing to agree to come forward, he said with a smile: "In this case, there is Lao Jiang Shilang."

When these two large-scale and unprecedented polo matches gradually kicked off, Du Shiyi's private residence in Guandefang ushered in a group of guests he expected. In front of him, in addition to the thick turban on his face to protect against wind and sand, he couldn't help but subconsciously exclaim: "Zhang Yao? ”

"It's the slave."

Since returning to Chang'an from the tent of King Xi of Raole Du's Mansion at the beginning of the year, Du Shiyi and Princess Gu'an have been in correspondence. Princess Gu'an has always reported good news and not bad news, but the messenger often secretly revealed to Du Shiyi some of her difficult situation in the Xi tribe, and because of this, at the end of the year, when the county lord of Lantian was the most fierce, Du Shiyi would send such a letter. There was no reply from Xinyi, although he was worried in his heart, but he only waited patiently for the news, but who knew that he was waiting for Princess Gu'an's henchman and maid

"How could it be that you came to the Eastern Capital in person? Could it be that what happened to my sister? ”

Seeing that Du Shiyi's face was very bad, Zhang Yao hurriedly bent his knees and said: "This is a big matter, your lord feels that it is unreliable to entrust others, so he asked me to come in person, and some things are not good on the letter." ”

She paused for a moment, and then continued: "I have come here, and another group of messengers have been ordered by your lord to directly send your lord's recital to the province of Zhongshu. It is according to the instructions of Du Langjun before, and your lord personally wrote the recital. Your lord, if it weren't for Du Langjun's presence, in the face of such a crisis, she would have been defeated in hindsight. Since everyone already knows that she is a concubine, it is better to give it a fight now, and let my brother decide everything. And the reason why your lord asked me to come here is also because I am the only one who has handled this matter in the Xi Xin family, and I may be able to come in handy at a critical moment. Moreover, your lord will continue to send messengers all the way to Luoyang, so that others will not see the problem after the public inspection, Du Langjun can choose a messenger according to the time, and then the real messenger will send me a transcription. I can imitate your master's handwriting, almost unrealistic. ”

Du Shiyi didn't expect Princess Gu'an to be so thoughtful, and immediately nodded happily: "That's fine." But at the end of the year, I sent a reply, why did you come at this time? ”

At this point, Zhang Yao was silent for a moment. After a while, she opened her mouth in a difficult tone: "Li Lusu killed your lord's two guards after drinking. In a fit of rage, your lord killed one of Li Lusu's favorite concubines. But of course, the woman deliberately provoked the matter, but then it was Li Lusu who instructed the envoy to support the envoy, if it weren't for the amount of tea that the three tribes had sent to the Xi clan before, they were overjoyed, and the three tribes ordered people to give fifty slaves each to your lord, and they respected your lord, and now your lord is in a more difficult situation. Therefore, it was not until a while ago that your lord was able to free up to deal with the affairs of Chang'an. After all, paper can't hold the fire, and if Li Lusu knows your lord's origin, he will not give up. ”

Seeing that Du Shiyi's face was covered with frost, Zhang Yao also knew that the news he brought was too heavy, and suddenly thought of another thing, and his face was even more gloomy for a while: "When I passed through Hebei on this trip, I heard that General Pei's mother had died, and now he is taking leave and preparing to rush back to the eastern capital to mourn." General Pei is a person who is feared by the Xi people like a tiger, and with him, the Xi people will inevitably celebrate. ”

"General Pei Tan's mother has died?" Du Shiyi was a little surprised to confirm again, and after getting a positive answer, he couldn't help but sigh softly. He wanted to take this opportunity to get Princess Gu'an out of that embarrassing position, although this road was difficult and tortuous, it was very necessary. It must be known that Pei Guo is not there, there are no unscrupulous generals in Youzhou or even Hebei, and Princess Gu'an is in the enemy camp, and the court that should be used as a support has a fire in the backyard. Since Princess Xi's status is of little significance to her future, it is better to take a risk
