For Wu Qing, Xiang Wang Bo, a historical and cultural celebrity, is quite admired, what did those high-ranking officials and nobles, the emperor's relatives and relatives leave behind? Nothing was left but a moment of glory.

Passed on to future generations, only these literati who have left their mark in the change of the historical trend, their mark will not be extinguished with the changes of history, such as Confucius and Laozi and other sons of the hundred schools, Qu Yuan, Jian'an Seven Sons, Bamboo Forest Seven Sages, Tao Yuanming and so on. The impact on future generations is not insignificant.

It's just that Wu Qing and Wang Bo have never met, and now they can only say hello when they meet for the first time, which can be regarded as acquaintance, if possible, Wu Qing really wants to have a deep friendship with this genius literati.

"The ball is in!"

There was another cheer, the audience was boiling, and even Emperor Gaozong got up suddenly, almost dancing, but suddenly thought of maintaining the majesty of the emperor, so he held back, and his face was red.

Empress Wu pursed her lips and smiled, this emperor is still like a half-old child, he is really playful, she looked at Li Xian and Li Zhe not far away, and then said sideways: "Your Majesty, sit down." ”

Gaozong was stunned for a moment, his face was confused, he smiled embarrassedly and then sat down, he couldn't help but think of after marrying the Empress Wu, every time he was with the Empress Wu, he was like a child, and he couldn't help the urge to be coquettish in front of her, Gaozong held the Empress Wu's slender hand and said: "Queen, I'm old, I don't know how many years I have to live." ”

In other words, Gaozong just wanted to indulge himself, in fact, Gaozong was only forty-two years old, his face was handsome, and he didn't see his old age at all, but he was suffering from illness, and the wine made Gaozong look sick.

Empress Wu was quite sad, she knew the meaning of Gaozong's words, and he was also troubled by Gaozong's illness. Her feelings for Gaozong are very complicated, both loving and slightly dissatisfied, both grateful and a little doting.

For many years, she wanted to assist Gaozong like Empress Changsun assisting Emperor Taizong, but unfortunately Gaozong was not worse than Emperor Taizong, so she began to assist Gaozong to preside over the government. But she is only a woman after all, and women also need someone to rely on. And Gojong is obviously not, he is often sick and painful.

Empress Wu held Gaozong's hand and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines and concubines think of Emperor Taizong, and they can't help but feel a lot of emotion. Your Majesty is still healthy now, so why bother saying those discouraged words? ”

As soon as Gaozong heard about his father, his face became solemn, he admired his father very much, and since he ascended the throne, he took his father as a model, so Gaozong said: "The queen is right, my father can do it, even if I can't do it, I should follow the example of the emperor." ”

Empress Wu smiled slightly, then got up, pulled up Gaozong, the two of them stood together, Empress Wu stretched out her slender hand to Li Xian, Li Zhe and others in the distance and pointed to them one by one, and said: "Your Majesty, you see, they are all your heirs, they are all your courtiers, they are all your people, you have the four seas, the whole world is your royal land, now Goryeo is destroyed, the Turks are far away, Tuyuhun is attached, Hui surrenders, Tubo is called a minister, all the countries in the Western Regions are driven by His Majesty, and overseas states pay tribute every year, which can be described as ten thousand states coming to the dynasty, Your Majesty, What do you have to regret? ”

After the martial arts said this, Gaozong, who was a little depressed in his heart, his eyes burst into essence, that's right, he has the four seas, the whole world is the king's land, my father didn't do it, I did it, my father never perished Goryeo, let me destroy it, so think about it, I don't miss my father much.

Gaozong ignored the competition on the Keju field for a while, he gratefully shook the hand of the Empress Wu and said, "Mei Niang, you are really the queen of the world of my mother." ”

Empress Wu smiled, at this moment, she knew that from the bottom of her heart, Gaozong finally admitted her talent, so she pulled Gaozong to sit down again, and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Min's virtue is at a loss, and the concubine wants to degrade him as a concubine and restore his Helan surname, you see, how about it?" ”

Gaozong was stunned, he didn't understand why the queen did this, he let Helan Minzhi change his surname and then inherit Zhou Guogong, he took good care of Wu Minzhi, and now even if he made a lot of mistakes, he didn't need to be beaten to death with a stick.

What's more, in the bottom of his heart, he is very sorry for Wu Minzhi, if he treats Helan Minzhi like this, then how can he have a good conscience. At this moment, Gaozong's mind flashed the beautiful faces of Mrs. Wu Shun of Korea and Mrs. Helan Minyue of Wei State. He couldn't make a decision.

As soon as Empress Wu saw Gaozong's hesitant expression, she understood that Gaozong still remembered her sister and niece, and she was quite resentful in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face, and after a turn of thought, she said to Gaozong: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants Taiping to marry Wuqing, what do you think?" ”

"Wu Qing?" Gaozong thought of the figure of that little prodigy, in a way, Gaozong likes Wuqing very much, and is also very jealous of Wuqing, so he has already made some achievements when he is young, so what about when he grows up? Think about it, although he read a lot of books when he was a child, he didn't have that intelligence after all. Therefore, Gaozong's love for Wuqing is very complicated, and it is precisely for this reason that Gaozong did not give Wuqing a higher title and official position. It's just that if you want Taiping to get married, what's in it?

"Taiping is still young, besides, Wuqing is your nephew, this is not in line with the laws of the Tang Dynasty." Gaozong said faintly, obviously he was a little reluctant.

Empress Wu didn't expect that in Taiping's marriage, Gaozong was unwilling, could it be that since Shangguanyi wanted to abolish his position as queen, Gaozong had an estrangement from her? But she shook her head, feeling that it was unlikely. Maybe some ministers spoke, Empress Wu looked at those ministers, and a pair of phoenix eyes couldn't help but stare at Hao Chujun and a few others.

Wu Qing didn't know that the conversation between Empress Wu and Gaozong actually involved him, and even Empress Wu wanted to marry Princess Taiping to him, but he held Shangguan Wan'er's hand and watched the fierce competition on the Juju field with excitement.

And when Empress Wu saw that Wu Qing's hand was holding a girl's hand, her face couldn't help but be stunned, and she smiled and said, "This little guy actually found a daughter-in-law by himself!" "But Taiping married Wu Qing, this was already told to his sister when he first met Wu Qing. The words of the matchmaker of her parents' orders, how could she be child's play, so she was not worried that Wu Qing would dare to disobey her orders.

At this time, as the hourglass leaked out, a gong sounded, and the first game between Donggong and Guozixue was over, and the score was reported by the self-owned football supervisor, and only the person who was heard reported loudly: "Donggong scored two goals and scored two points; Guozixue scored four goals and scored four points! ”

A series of reports of the score reached the audience, and the audience erupted into enthusiastic shouts, and the servants and subordinate officials of the East Palace were saddened. I didn't expect that the first game was two goals short, and the second game was estimated to be much worse.

Soon as the gong sounded, the second game began, and the two sides began to compete, you chase me to defend, you tackle the ball behind your back, I will turn the tide, if you forcibly block, I will come to a swallow home. In short, the two sides fought fiercely from the beginning and did not give an inch. The personnel on both sides were angry and fighting, sweating like rain, and the confrontation was very fierce.

In fact, Keju originated in the army, and later the emperor felt that he could use Keju to train soldiers, so it was included in the art of war, and then after evolution, it was first popularized in the palace and among the royal family and nobles, until the Tang Dynasty, the folk have been widely spread.

The fierceness of the second Keju made Wu Qingdu feel that the Tang Dynasty was really martial, and this kind of confrontation was estimated to be defeated by Brazil, Italy and the like in later generations. Of course, Wu Qing also knows that there are too many rules of football in later generations, and they cannot be compared with Keju.

But in any case, the literati of this era are not as weak as the literati since the Tang Dynasty, they must be physically fit and learn martial arts, and it is precisely because of this that the literati of this era can get on the horse to fight on the battlefield and dismount to settle the world. Later, the development of Cheng Zhu in the Song Dynasty can be said to have imprisoned people's minds from a certain point of view, and the deformed concept of learning and excelling is a kind of historical regression.

Pulled away, back to Keju field.

Wu Qing took Shangguan Wan'er's hand and cheered like a fan, but he didn't understand it at all.

"Brother Qing, what are you happy about?"

Shangguan Wan'er's crisp voice came to his ears, this girl actually called herself like this for the first time, is this a kind of progress, he couldn't help but be very happy, stopped his excitement, and looked at Shangguan Wan'er, "Daughter-in-law call it again?" ”

"Can you let go of my hand, it hurts me." Shangguan Wan'er added.
