Chapter 62: The first time I met Zi'an on the Keju field
When Wu Qing returned to the mansion, he was taken to the family temple by Qiu Ju, who was waiting outside the mansion gate.
I saw that a lot of people had gathered, all of whom were relatives of the Wu family. Only then did Wu Qing understand that this was to sacrifice to his ancestors. Wu Qingyi asked the Yang family and the Wu family to say goodbye one by one, and then saw Wu Minyi kneeling in front of the tablet of the ancestors of the Wu family praying with a stern face.
Looking at Wu Minzhi, Wu Qing's eyes showed a sharp mang, although they are both cousins, but this guy is really not of my race, a person who has been changed his surname has become the heir of the Wu family, if you use the ideas of later generations, this is completely self-deception.
Thinking like this, Wu Qing seemed to have caught something, but he didn't catch anything. But after a moment, Wu Minzhi shouted loudly: "The sacrifice begins!" ”
Immediately, the men of the Wu clan stood aside, and the women who had a decree stood aside, in order of the eldest and youngest, and stretched out to the door. Wu Minzhi put the sacrifice on the table, and then only heard Wu Minzhi chanting the sacrifice loudly, what the Wu clan worships on the first day, what blesses the Wu clan this year, everyone is healthy or something.
In short, Wu Qing was kneeling by the door, his eyes were always staring at Wu Minzhi's back, this beast, who had an affair with the Yang family, was still kneeling there seriously to worship the ancestors? Is this your ancestor?
Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Qing was going to Xineiyuan to watch the Keju competition of the Tang Dynasty, which was something he had made an appointment with Shangguan Wan'er. For Keju, Wuqing was very yearning in his previous life, to be honest, Keju as the ancestor of football in later generations, but because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty after the customs was abandoned, the agricultural civilization was almost destroyed by the nomads, and the history regressed, resulting in my Chinese clan being reduced to the world's inferior race, and football is even more miserable.
In this way, Wu Qing's hatred for the Manchus was not a day or two, and if it was possible, he was willing to personally lead a large army to completely eradicate this scourge and nip it in the bud.
Unfortunately, history cannot be driven by one person, but the power of one person may not be able to influence the world.
Wu Qing took Shangguan Wan'er's hand, like a couple, the two of them held rock sugar gourds in their hands, playing and playing at the same time, and soon went out of the Guangzhai Fang, and passed through Xing'an Gate, and the guards of Xing'an Gate ignored it. Because of these seven days, the Keju field in the West Inner Garden is completely open to the people of Chang'an. The people of Chang'an also had the privilege of watching the Keju competition, which lasted for several days.
After passing through the Ridang Gate of the West Inner Garden, after a check by the gatekeepers, the inspection was mainly to check whether the weapons were carried, of course, some iron things could not be brought into the West Inner Garden. After the inspection is completed, you can enter the stadium in front of the Hanguang Hall of the West Inner Garden.
The Hanguang Hall is naturally a place for the emperor and ministers to rest, and those participating teams have their own open space. This is the place where Emperor Taizong played polo, since Gaozong ascended the throne and repaired the Daming Palace, every year during the first day of the seven days of the dynasty, it is necessary to hold a juju match in the court (should be "the court" in the west inner garden, here it is changed to "the court" for the convenience of reading), and a polo match is held in the Shangyuan Festival.
For more than 20 years, it has never stopped. Chang'an's imperial relatives also gradually have their own cultivated Keju teams, such as the East Palace team of Prince Li Hong, the Peiwang team of Peiwang Li Xian, the British King Li Zhe's British team, as well as the student teams of Guozixue, Hongwenguan, Taixue and so on. As well as the royal palaces, as well as the royal relatives and the relatives of the lords, there are more than 30 teams according to rough statistics.
In the past few years, the competition between the Peiwang team and the British royal team has been the most fierce, and the leader is also produced in these two teams, while the other teams are relatively weaker. Of course, it is very likely to contain water, after all, you are full of food to compete with the prince?
After Wu Qing and Shangguan Wan'er walked into the stadium hand in hand, they were shocked by the liveliness here, the entire stadium was densely surrounded by people, and there were heads everywhere! You can't see what the stadium looks like.
Wu Qing and Shangguan Wan'er were small and couldn't see the situation in the stadium at all, so Wu Qing pulled Shangguan Wan'er and squeezed it in, but the person was small and had little strength, so he couldn't squeeze in at all, and at this moment, a girl's voice sounded.
"Cousin, what are you doing here?"
Wu Qing turned around and saw that it was Princess Taiping, Wu Qing said in frustration: "Cousin, I want to squeeze inside to watch the ball!" ”
"Watching the ball? Keju? Come with me! "Princess Taiping has her own maids in the palace to open the way.
Wu Qing took Shangguan Wan'er's hand, and followed Princess Taiping to the high platform where only the emperor's relatives could sit, which was the steps in front of the Hanguang Palace. Wu Qing stood on it and looked down, and the entire stadium was in full view.
The stadium is the size of most of the football fields in later generations, with two tall bamboo poles erected in the center, and a goal frame-like goal on it, which is not very big, and Wu Qing can't see it clearly, but guess that it is the legendary ** eye, the ancient version of the goal!
At this moment, there are two teams in red and green on the field to practice, Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu have not yet arrived, so Keju has not yet begun.
Princess Taiping is a very lively lord, up the steps, there are palace people to move to embroider the pier, and ignore Wu Qing and Shangguan Wan'er holding hands, said: "Cousin, now on the field is the prince's brother's Donggong team and Guozixue's apprentice team, originally the Donggong team has won Guozixue over the years, but this time Wu Minzhi made a mistake and thought about it behind closed doors, but the Donggong team is missing the ball head, I guess, this time the Donggong team is difficult to win." ”
Wu Qing heard it clearly, and couldn't help but admire Wu Minzhi's talent even more, if this guy learns well, he is completely a pillar of talent, why is it bad like that? It's really morally corrupt. The most important thing in this era is a person's virtue. Meritocracy is just talking, except for Wu Zetian decades later, of course.
"Is my cousin so sure?" Wu Qing doesn't understand, if he still understands football in later generations, he still understands a little bit. But Keju really doesn't understand.
As an honest person, Wu Qing won't pretend to understand, otherwise it will be a big joke. He just wanted to be lively, he has been here in Datang for a few years, and he hasn't had much fun. What's more, now that the goddess's childhood is by her side, she can also satisfy her little commotion.
Princess Taiping said with a smile: "Mountains are impermanent, water is impermanent, who can say for sure, cousin just look at it." ”
It's so profound! Can this princess of Taiping understand these truths at such a young age? Wu Qing felt a kind of pressure, and then thought about the Taiping princess in history, and felt that these celebrities were really extraordinary.
However, after the tea effort, I could only hear the shrill voice of the young eunuch in the palace shouting: "The emperor has arrived!" I saw that the Yulin Guard opened the way, Gaozong with the Empress Wu, the ** woman with the palace fan and the umbrella cover, surrounded by a group of ministers, came to the royal case in front of the Hanguang Palace.
After Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu sat down, the ministers visited, and the people bowed from afar, and Gaozong let everyone be flattened, and then announced the start of Keju.
When Keju began, the game also began, but it was very simple to guess whether to win or lose, not the number of goals. And at this time, the people of Chang'an were very happy about it, and even the children of princes and nobles participated in it, and the stakes were still very big.
Princess Taiping brought Wuqing to King Li Zhe of England, and Wu Qing was helpless and had to meet King Li Zhe of England. This emperor will be very sloppy in the future, but at this time, he can't see his slump at all, on the contrary, the king of England is very handsome, with sharp eyebrows, no wonder Shangguan Wan'er likes this Li Zhe, he is indeed a beautiful man, he is now sixteen years old, and he has a royal nobility.
Li Zhe knew this cousin, so he was very kind, took Wu Qing's hand and said, "I'll invite you to drink in the mansion another day, just so you can tell me what happened after the thousand-year-old fox demon occupied Su Daji's body." ”
Wu Qing smiled bitterly, and praised this young literature lover in his heart, so he said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, I was appointed by the Holy Lord to accompany you in the British Palace, and I haven't had time to meet the King of England yet, it is too rude for Weichen, and I ask His Royal Highness the King to forgive me." ”
When the king heard this, he said in his heart, yes, this little cousin is still his own companion from his father, won't there be time in the future? Hmph, he has Wang Bo, and I have Wuqing!
So King Li Zhe said very reservedly: "Don't blame yourself, cousin, the court and the middle government all know that my cousin is a busy man, especially my cousin's "Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers" is a household name by hundreds of officials in Chang'an." ”
"The ball is in!"
Suddenly, there was a shout, the audience boiled, and the king jumped up, shouted, danced, and completely lost the image of the prince.
Wu Qing looked at the scoring table, and sure enough, it was Guozixue who scored the first goal and won a point. The students and apprentices who watched Keju on the sidelines thundered with joy.
Princess Taiping clenched her small fists tightly, showing disappointment. Looking at the prince who was beside Empress Gao Zongwu, there was no expression of dissatisfaction, it seemed that Donggong didn't score the first goal for him.
The game continues on the field, five players on each side under the leadership of the ball head, you grab me, tackle the ball behind the back, and make trips and things happen from time to time, Wu Qing is very interesting for such a show, which is really interesting.
There is a referee on the side, who is only responsible for maintaining order on the field, as long as there is no open brawl, he will not care.
Kemari is much gentler than polo, and if you can't protect yourself on the polo court, you may be scrapped. Although polo is popular in the Tang Dynasty, due to the strong confrontation of polo, it is only occasionally held in the army and the court, and every time the envoys of Fanbang come to pay tribute, a polo match will also be held to highlight the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's martial arts.
Keju has developed to this day, not only the entertainment project of the emperor's relatives, but also widely spread among the people, and even the women's Keju has become very popular in the palace today, of course, the women's Keju has no confrontation, but a purely for the purpose of game entertainment, so it is called a white fight.
It just so happened that Princess Taiping had often played white fights with the palace maids since she learned to run, but Princess Taiping preferred this kind of confrontation and enjoyed it, so once the Keju competition was held, she would watch it. Now that she saw Guozixue score first, she was so excited.
Wu Qing was an otaku in his previous life, and it was really a very unpleasant thing for people who almost failed in sports when they were in college, except for football, of course, the meaning of football is not in itself, but also in glory.
So next, he listened very carefully to the explanations of Princess Taiping and the King of England, as well as the gags of the lackeys and cockfighters around the King of England.
Pei Wang Li Xian looked indifferent, anyway, his opponent was the British royal team, and the other teams were not in his consideration. Next to Li Xian is also his lackey cockfighter, but among them is a young man who is quite eye-catching.
Wu Qing looked at the young man and felt that he was handsome and handsome, and there was an indescribable free and easy atmosphere, isn't this kind of temperament what he is pursuing?
With Wu Qing's gaze, the young man also felt Wu Qing's gaze, and when he looked up, he saw Wu Qing, who was quite famous during this time, and said, "It turned out to be the envoy of the sect, Wang Bo is polite!" ”
"Wang Bo? Prodigy Wang Bo? That Wang Bo, who could interpret the genus at the age of six, read Yan's Hanshu at the age of nine, read the Six Classics at the age of ten, and was recommended by Liu Xiangdao, the right minister, at the age of fourteen, to be awarded Chaosanlang, and then read in the Pei Wangfu? Wu Qing was shocked in his heart, Wang Bo's name as a prodigy is known to the world, he is the grandson of the great Confucian Wang Tong, and he is a member of the Taiyuan Wang clan.
This is also an important reason why although Wu Qing was called a prodigy, those officials did not pay too much attention. What's more, there is really no shortage of prodigies in this era, there are too many prodigies, and King Luo Bin in the Taizong period can compose poems at the age of six. There are also Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin and so on!
"Brother Zi'an is polite!" Wu Qing bowed.
(Although it's a long chapter, to be honest, this chapter is written in a bit out of shape, but Wang Bo can only appear like this)
