Chapter 41: Keju
"This is their Liu family's family matter, we are courtiers, just watch it, don't bother yourself, and don't worry about it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "This is Wang Yi's reply when Wang An asked Wang Yi about the rebellion case. The group walked around the Jianzhang Palace to the northwest, walked for more than half an hour, and came to the entrance of a building, the door was guarded by a sergeant, Wang Yi dismounted, Wang An and others also dismounted. An officer came to inspect everyone's waist cards, and Wang Yi took out a gold cake and handed it to this person: "Captain Liangzuo, is Captain Dong Du here?" The officer took the golden cake: "Captain Dong has arrived." Liang Zuowei checked everyone's waist cards, and then let people in.
The group followed the road to a large playground, and to the east of the playground was Kemari Field. Keju field is east-west, there is a main hall in the south, the east and west sides of the main hall are steps, the main hall is in the direction of Kemari field and is divided into several large platforms, and the platform below is already sitting there. Wang Yi introduced as he walked: "The first emperor is good at juju, this is specially built by the first emperor, and your uncle and I have also fought against the first emperor a few times back then. It's a pity. Wang Yi led the people up the steps from the west side to the highest part of the main hall. There were already more than a dozen people sitting on the east side of the main hall, and when they saw Wang Yi coming, they got up to greet him, and Wang Yi also returned the salute one by one. Then he introduced to Wang An: "This is Dong Xian and Dong Shengqing, who are serving as the captain of the horse. Then he pointed to Wang An and said, "This is the uncle and grandson of Wang An, a scholar who came to participate in the examination of the wise general." Wang An gave Dong Xian a salute, and Dong Xian returned the salute. Wang Yi and Dong Xian exchanged a few words, and Wang An took the opportunity to look at Dong Xian. Dong Xian is really a boy and a girl, and with a sad temperament, Wang An feels that Dong Xian is in the wrong place, if it is a woman, she is really a "Sister Lin".
The two sides returned to their respective positions and sat down, the cushions had been placed on the main hall, Wang Yi was at the front, Wang An and Wang Hu were one body behind, Kong Xun was one body behind and was in the same column as the chief steward of the Chengdu Hou Mansion, and Wei Xuan and others were on the side. Wang An looked at the Keju field, there was a goal like a house at the east end and the west end, there were twenty big men in yellow clothes standing in the east, twenty big men in red clothes in the west, and there was a person in front of each team who was talking to them.
"What is that person talking about?" Wang An asked Wang Hu.
"Kick the opponent for a goal and get a golden cake, and win and add a hundred golden cakes." Wang Hu replied.
"Your family is so good, why don't you end up?"
Wang Hu glanced at his father: "Today, both teams are out of the army, both captains are Youzhou Army, my Shuofang Army, if you are in a hurry, you will not kick a ball but a kicker, how dare my adults play." Wang An saw Wang Yi's back tremble a few times: "Boy, go back and have a good look for you." Wang Hu stopped talking.
His Royal Highness brought a gong, and someone came up to ask if it could start, Dong Xian and Wang Yi nodded in agreement. The people above waved the colored flags, and the gongs below struck, and each side sent twelve people to enter. When the two sides stood in their positions, the gong sounded again, and the game officially began. Well, there is no goalkeeper, a real all-attack and all-defense type of play. The two sides fought fiercely on the field, and they had already knocked on the drum several times in a short time, and when they scored a goal, they knocked on the drum, registered the goalscorer, and then continued to play.
"Whose girl is that?" Wang An asked Wang Hu, Wang Hu shook his head, "I'm young, how can I know so many people." ”
"Watch the game carefully, if you want to get to know that woman, Ben Hou will take you over later." Wang Yi said. Only then did Wang An return his attention to Keju Field. It is good to see that the two sides come and go, on the surface, the Youzhou army is superior, anyway, they attack more around the Shuofang army, but they don't enter a few, and the Shuo army seems to have been defending.
At this time, the gong sounded, and after a quarter of an hour's rest, there were waiters who moved the table for everyone, put food on the table, and some people came to report the situation of the battle, and at present, the Wang family was five to eight behind, Wang Yi seemed very happy, and took out five gold cakes to reward the goalscorer. A waiter came from Dong Xian's side, holding a plate in his hand, and first saluted Wang Yi, and then saluted Wang An: "This is a gift from the waiter to Lang Jun." Wang An looked at Wang Yi, Wang Yi nodded, and Wang An accepted it: "Thank you for your kindness." ”
At this time, Wei Xuan came over to say goodbye and saw several children of the Wang family who appeared in the Shunhua Pavilion that night. Wang An thought for a while: "As long as they don't come to cause trouble, we don't need to provoke them." ”
A quarter of an hour later, the game continued, and Wang An found that Shuo Fangjun had expanded his defensive range, but did not take the initiative to attack, but was slowly consuming the opponent. Even if the Youzhou army scored a goal, the Shuofang army was not in a hurry, and was kicking step by step, but unconsciously dropped the attacking and defensive personnel, and then began to attack. The result of the game ended up being a 9-9 draw, and both sides were happy, and no one lost face. Wang Yi laughed and got up to say goodbye to Dong Xian. When Wang An saluted, Dong Xian told him that the exam was scheduled for the 21st of this month. Then Wang An knew that the woman was Dong Xian's sister.
Wang Yi took Wang An to meet those people from Shuo Fangjun, and Wang An suddenly asked, "It won't be the military Sima who trains you, right?" ”
"Why did Lang Jun say this?" One of them asked.
"Is that correct?" The other nodded.
Wang An also suddenly thought that if this house was regarded as a granary, these soldiers would first protect it to prevent the enemy from robbing the grain and make themselves invincible, and then slowly harass the other party's grain road, or sneak attack the other party's granary, and win the victory. Doesn't Cao Cao like to cut off people's grain and grass? You can hit the other party, and you can enrich yourself, killing two birds with one stone.
"Dong Xian's sister, San Lang still don't think about it, he and our Wang family are not all the way, and your family will not agree." Wang Yi saw that Wang An didn't speak all the way, thinking that Wang An was thinking about the woman, so he reminded him.
Wang An shook his head: "My nephew is not thinking about that woman, my nephew is thinking about those children of the Wang family, the grandchildren of the Marquis of Anyang." ”
Boshan Marquis Kong Guang, according to the information Wang An has, he should be an old fox, who had clearly opposed the matter of the Empress Dowager's honorific title, and was removed from the post of prime minister and demoted to Guanglu Doctor, and then was withdrawn from the official seal of Boshan Marquis, and was exempted from being a concubine. But this move won the favor of the Empress Dowager and the Wang family, but the relationship is to be maintained, Kong Guang returned to his hometown, his son-in-law is still in Chang'an as an official, and the Wang family is not easy to make friends with officials in the court, because it is necessary to avoid suspicion, but you can make friends with the younger generation of the Wang family, so that the relationship between Kong Guang and the Wang family can be maintained. The Marquis of Chengdu is a martial artist with a bad reputation, and the Marquis of Anyang, Wang Shun, is very suitable, with a good reputation in Shilin, and his status in the Wang family is second only to the Marquis of Xindu. Besides, now Wang Mang is still trapped in Xinye County, which can compare to Anyang Hou who stayed in Chang'an!
