Hanguang Hall is on the west side of Daming Palace, and the grandeur and magnificence are not as good as the three halls of the former dynasty (including the Yuan Palace, the Xuanzheng Hall and the Zichen Palace) in the Daming Palace and the Yanying and Linde two halls of the inner court. But the polo field in front of Hanguang Hall is one of the best in Chang'an City. Due to its proximity to the Daming Palace, each ball game can attract a large number of high-ranking officials and relatives to come to cheer.

Yang Hao took Xiao Si out of the Fanglin Gate in the north of Chang'an City, entered the West Inner Forbidden, and waited outside the Yinguang Gate. Yin Tongxiang, Qi Mo and others had already arrived, and even the jerseys had already been changed, and when they saw Yang Hao coming in plainclothes, they all urged them to change their clothes quickly. More than a dozen tents were temporarily erected outside the Silver Light Gate for the players to change their clothes and the accompanying servants to rest.

Yang Hao was about to change his clothes, when he suddenly saw two eunuchs running out of the Yinguang Gate, shouting in unison: "His Royal Highness King Yingwang has a decree, the Divine Dragon Team and the Flying Eagle Team will all change their clothes." After speaking, the two of them jumped up and walked into the door again.

This is the first time Yang Hao has seen a eunuch in his life, the two of them are short and thin, with white faces and beards, sharp voices, neat and clean robes, fast and fine steps, which makes people curious.

As soon as the two eunuchs walked on their front feet, everyone was boiling, speculating that the emperor might be coming to the court in person, or even going into battle in person.

Yang Hao was surprised and delighted in his heart, if he could see the Tang Emperor, it would not be in vain that he had worked hard to travel through 1,200 years of time and space to be reborn.

Xiao Si brought in a set of black jerseys, trimmed with gold wire, embroidered with gold and silver threads in the front and back of a flying eagle with wings, and the eagle eyes were embroidered with gold, green and black silk threads, which were lifelike.

Yang Hao found that this set of jerseys seemed to be tailor-made, the length, short, fat and thin fit very well, and he was even more happy in his heart, and asked Xiao Sidao: "Wearing this set of clothes, what do you say the master looks like?" ”

"Soar the eagle in the sky." Xiao Si gave a thumbs up and replied flatteringly.

Yang Hao liked this metaphor very much. When he was a child, his dream was to be an eagle soaring in the sky, and in a composition class, the teacher asked everyone to talk about their ideals with the theme of "ideals".

The squad leader said that I want to be a politician and govern the country and the world! The teacher praised him for his lofty ambitions and will become a great weapon in the future.

The study committee members said that my ideal is to be an engineer of the human soul like my teacher, selfless, noble and great! The teacher smiled happily and humbly said that he was a small technician at best.

Sakura Banhua said that her dream is to become a splendid cherry blossom and spread beauty and fragrance to the world! The teacher was overjoyed, and even praised her for being a blue heart.

Yang Hao said that he wanted to be an eagle: the eagle flies high and fast, and no matter how good the hunter is, he will never want to kill himself; The eagle has sharp claws and a pointed beak, and there is no need to worry about making a living when chasing snakes and rabbits.

Yang Hao has forgotten what happened in the first grade, and only remembers that his essay "I want to be an eagle" was sentenced to a second grade. The comment is: vulgar thinking, no ambition.

Xiao Si took out a golden tiger helmet and put it on for Yang Hao. The polo game is very dangerous, and none of the princes and grandchildren want to lose their lives because of playing, so they are very particular about protective gear.

The original meaning of the tiger helmet was supposed to be a protective helmet, which was a head guard made of metal similar to a rugby hood.

The helmet that Yang Hao originally used was custom-made for thirty taels of silver, but it was too crude compared to this gold-plated helmet.

Everyone lined up in front of the door, with the Flying Eagles players wearing dark jerseys on one side and the Dragons players wearing purple gold-rimmed jerseys on the other.

To enter the stadium, you must first undergo strict security checks by Jingo guards, and everyone will be searched, without exception. The Jinwu guards started by pinching their hair, and touched their whole body up and down to confirm that there was no weapon hidden on their bodies, and then let go of the door and put it in.

Everyone's mount has been led into the door by the Jingo guard, polo is a sport of people and horses, whether the horse and people cooperate tacitly has a great relationship with the victory, so the players will choose to ride their own familiar horses in the game.

Yang Hao's horse is a flying dragon horse, a cross between Dawan horse and Hexi horse, tall, shiny coat, explosive and obedient to the owner, is the first choice for rich and noble children in Chang'an City.

Yang Hao found his horse in the stable, but the bow stick (ball stick) hanging from the saddle was missing.

Did the Jinwu guards accidentally lose it when they were leading the horse? Or did Xiao Si carelessly not bring it? Yang Hao was about to go out and ask for an understanding. found that Yin Tongxiang did not bow in his hands.

"Yulang, why didn't you bring a bow?"

"Third brother, you are confused, can the Palace Forbidden Garden let us bring that thing?"

Yang Hao thought about it and understood, he was not allowed to bring in a knife in the palace, how could he allow you to get a stick in? A bow battle is not a weapon, but what if there is a sword hidden in the stick? Or the whole rainstorm pear flower needle and other vicious secret weapons, where is the majesty of the emperor? Do you want the lives of the Jin Wuwei?

Entering the Silver Light Gate, bypassing a blue brick barrier, there is a huge stadium surrounded by a brocade curtain circle, nearly a mile long from east to west, and two hundred meters wide from north to south. A door was opened in the southeast and southwest corners, and at the entrance, the eunuchs of the Inner Chamberlain Province carefully inspected the horses that were about to race.

Whether the bandages on the horse's legs are strong, whether the horsetail is braided and tightened, whether the saddle is fastened tightly, every detail is checked, and every omission is never let go. The eunuchs worked hard, both conscientious and responsible, and hard-working.

Seeing this scene, Yang Hao remembered the group of birdmen in the previous unit, you all look at people, as eunuchs, humble and lowly, but how can this professionalism be comparable to you? You say every day that there are so many temptations in the office that you can't work with peace of mind. It's nonsense! The temptation in the office is great, can it be compared to the Daming Palace, where the beauties gather? Look at people, in order to be able to do their jobs with peace of mind, even cut that. What about you, with a high salary, sitting in a spacious and bright, spring-like office all year round, playing ambiguous, if you have someone who is dedicated and serious, why worry about my Tang Dynasty not reproducing China!

The horses that have passed the inspection are returned to the players, and the little eunuch leads them into the field. The stadium is marked with ribbons and small flags for the competition area, waiting area, work area and viewing area.

The north is the viewing area, a high platform is erected in the center, the brocade curtain is mainly purple, the ornamentation is mostly dragon and phoenix patterns, there are also unicorns and other Rui beasts, the east and west sides of the high platform are also stands, but the regulation is obviously one level lower.

The waiting area is in the middle of the two gates in the south, with the home team Shenlong in the east and the away team Flying Eagles in the west, which is also in line with the custom of respecting the left in the Tang Dynasty.

There is no turf on the ground in the competition area, and like the several courts that Yang Hao has played before, it is also loess, which is very easy to dust, which will not only affect the vision but also injure the trachea and lungs. Therefore, at the end of each section, it is necessary to sprinkle water and remove dust. The work area is in the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the staff are mainly the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, the eunuchs of the Inner Service Province, and the Jinwu guards who maintain order

With nearly a quarter of an hour to go, the players of both teams were busy doing some warm-up exercises, some boxing, some jumping, and some somersaults.

Yang Hao has his own warm-up methods: pulling legs, wrapping shoulders, swinging hips, twisting knees, and doing toe wrapping. Most people are not only novel about this set of strange actions, but they are all sneering and disdainful. Yang Hao played by himself and didn't bother to pay attention to them.

A group of little eunuchs were busy sprinkling water and stepping on the field, in fact, the court was already very level, and the water had already been sprinkled, but the eunuchs were still meticulously busy.

Yang Hao secretly thought in his heart, when he turned around, he must ask Uncle Li Fu to find a few people who can plant grass, let's make him a turf course, and keep the business prosperous. If you can win the greening project of the Royal Stadium again, it will be a real fame and fortune.

Yang Hao thought about it beautifully, and couldn't help laughing.

Yin Tongxiang, who was boxing on the side, asked with a smile: "What's the good thing, laugh at yourself, and tell us about it." ”

"I have a good deal in mind, and we'll talk about it later."

Yin Tongxiang smiled, touched Yang Hao with her elbow, lowered her voice and said, "If someone assassinates His Majesty on the court, what will you do." ”

Yang Hao was startled, hurriedly looked around, grabbed Yin Tongxiang and said, "This kind of rebellious words can't be nonsense." ”

"Just ask, there are no outsiders, what are you panicking about?" Yin Tongxiang said disappreciably, "You said that you were hiding, or you came forward to save the driver." ”

"Naturally, I'm going to save the driver." Yang Hao replied without thinking, but in his heart he wanted not to even take a bow, how can you stab? Beat up? Or bite with teeth?

A burst of soft and festive music sounded, the curtains on both sides of the north platform were opened, and a group of women in gorgeous dresses walked in. Even if it is two hundred meters away, the flowers are full of flowers, and the beauty of the vivid fragrance still makes Yang Hao's face red and his heart beats.

Could this be the legendary harem beauty? Yang Hao involuntarily stood on tiptoe and looked around.

Yin Tongxiang punched him fiercely: "Don't die!" Let Jin Wu see it, and lose his head. Yang Hao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, peeking at the Jinwu guards guarding the door, and everyone was secretly looking north.

Yin Tongxiang smiled and touched Yang Hao with her elbow: "It's not that you can't see it, but you have to look at it skillfully." As he spoke, he put on a tiger helmet and stood solemnly facing the north, which could not only express his respect for the ladies, but also enjoy the beauty safely. Yang Hao looked to the east, and the members of the two teams were all like this, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart, and he was busy putting on a tiger helmet.
