Chapter 179: If you want to do it, make it bigger
The warm winter sun hangs in the sky, and there is not a trace of clouds in the blue sky, for Chang'an in winter, today is a rare good weather. However, in this good weather, many Chang'an people have given up the comfort of basking in the sun, gathered in the largest bicycle arena in Chang'an City, cheering for their favorite riders, and by the way, a small bet, if they bet on the rider to win the first, then the lottery is very rich.
In the oblong arena, more than a dozen bicycles form the first echelon of the race, and the second echelon behind is more numerous, but no matter which echelon, it is a scene of you fighting for me, from time to time there are people who make bad moves, stomping people and kicking the car is the most common way, sometimes several racers partner to squeeze out of one person, until the other party is squeezed outside the track and falls. As a result, it is not uncommon for people to fall on the track from time to time, or even withdraw from the race with injuries.
Such a brutal and fierce race naturally attracted the blood of countless spectators around him, especially when he saw someone fall, it caused waves of small ones on the field, and he was naturally happy to see the driver he didn't like fall or even go out, and if it was a driver he supported, it was naturally a burst of angry scolding and cursing. As a result, laughter and angry scolding flew in the audience, splashing saliva and sweat.
"Come on~Come on~" Li Su shouted a few words weakly, regardless of whether others could understand what it meant, and then sat down on the seat, the bloody bicycle race staged in front of him, although the people around him were shouting enthusiastically, but for Li Su. But I couldn't arouse any interest at all.
"Rokuro. Looking at your sullen appearance, is there something wrong with forcing the Lu family to withdraw from the marriage? Cui Yu has been to Chang'an a few times before, but he has only heard of bicycle races, and today is the first time he has seen it, although he feels that this kind of rough race is very attractive, but his mind is obviously not on this, and he asked with some worry when he saw Li Yu's depressed expression.
Li Su saw that it was Cui Yu, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Brother Cui is too worried, although the Lu family is still holding on." But there's still a little over a month to go, and I'll find a way to get them to compromise then! ”
"Then what are you ......" Cui Yu was puzzled, apart from this incident, what else could make the famous Qi King Li Su so distressed?
"Don't mention it. I took a troublesome matter from my father before, and now I'm worried! Li Su replied with a black line on his face.
Li Shimin asked him to find a way to send the Queen of Silla and the born child to Chang'an after destroying Silla in the future, which was not a difficult thing to do, mainly to ensure the safety of Queen Silla's mother and son, and he couldn't do it with his strength, and it was nothing to give it to the emperor's father at that time, but the difficulty was that Li Shimin didn't want to spread the word, so let him come up with a way to hide it from the world. It is absolutely impossible to let people know that the Queen of Silla finally entered the palace of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, Li Shimin's thoughts, Li Su can also guess that the news of Queen Silla giving birth to a child will definitely spread soon, and many people will definitely be speculating about who the child's father is? If Li Shimin summons the mother and son to the palace in the future, it will almost be equivalent to not confessing to himself, announcing to the whole world that he is the father of the child, so that his tryst with Queen Silla in Pyongyang will definitely be difficult to keep secret. But after this kind of thing got out. It will inevitably deal a certain blow to his prestige and image, so Li Su will secretly send Queen Silla to Chang'an.
"Oh, it must not be easy for Your Majesty to explain to you, the King of Qi, what you have done, but I can't help much. You better go back and discuss it with the teacher! Cui Yu said with a smile. Li Su didn't say anything just now, which made him understand immediately. This matter must be very confidential, so he simply didn't ask, but Wang An is Li Su's Wang Fu, and he can be described as a confidant among his henchmen, and this kind of thing should be discussed with him. …,
"Alas, that's all it can be!" Li Su said helplessly, in fact, he didn't want to say anything about this matter, if he could do his best, but unfortunately such a big thing, he would definitely not be able to do it alone, and Wu Meiniang was not in Chang'an, and only Wang An was left to discuss.
Just when Li Su and Cui Yu were talking, the following game had already been divided, Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye, who were the favorites to win the championship, were squeezed out of the game, and were disqualified from the competition.
"Phew! If it weren't for the attack of the Wei Wang Party and the princelings, the champion position would not be cheaper than the kid above! Cheng Huailiang spat bloodshot saliva, just now he was sandwiched by Chai Lingwu and Du He, and as a result, he fell into the mud and his teeth were a little loose. Chai Lingwu usually walked very close to Li Tai, and Du He was the son of the famous minister Du Ruhui, and he was considered the sworn friend of the crown prince Li Chengqian, so Cheng Huailiang called them the Wei Wang Party and the princeling.
"Hehe, Huailiang, don't be angry, don't people call us the Qi King Party?" Qin Huaiyu pulled his messy hair and walked over with a smile. Just now, in order to avenge Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye, who were squeezed out of the game, he and Li Yexu had a two-to-many match, but he ended up with the other party, resulting in the loss of most of the drivers in the entire first echelon, which made the drivers behind pick up the cheap.
"Qi Wang Party? Hehe, I like the name, Rokuro, I'll follow you in the future! Li Yexu, who also fell and had a bruised face, came over while wiping his sweat and said. Since Li Su helped him get his grandfather Li Jing and let him study at the military academy, Li Yexu simply regarded Li Su as a reborn parent, and made up his mind to follow each other in the future.
"What Qi Wang Party, I hope everyone will form a party to eat, drink and have fun, so as not to be troubled by those who have a heart to find us!" After hearing this, Li Su said with a wry smile.
With the return of Li Shimin, the battle between Li Chengqian and Li Tai turned from bright to dark, and later Li Su returned to Chang'an, coupled with Li Shimin's deliberate arrangement, so that both of them were intentionally or unintentionally aimed at Li Su, so now among the princes, there is a three-legged situation, the princeling and the Wei Wang Party naturally needless to say, Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye, who are usually mixed with Li Su, are naturally known as the Qi Wang Party, and it is worth mentioning that Li Ke, who is also the prince, is also a member of the Qi Wang Party.
"Liulang, don't care what those people say, why don't you go out of the next game, when the time comes, we will screw together, and we won't believe in fighting those bastards!" At this time, Li Jingye bandaged the wound on his arm, walked over and asked with a nonchalant expression.
When Li Su heard Li Jingye's proposal, he was frightened and waved his hand again and again: "I can't do it, this kind of competition not only requires skills, but also has high requirements for personal force. ”
Jokes, he didn't want to go to this kind of violent bicycle race, and after watching a race, most of the riders would suffer a little injury, and it was not uncommon to hurt their muscles and bones, and even occasionally there would be serious injuries such as fractures. Li Su is not like these over-energetic guys, who participate in the competition just to find excitement, and even the blue nose and swollen face that fall for this are just incomprehensible.
"Alright, you guys are just having fun with yourself, but you don't notice that something has gone wrong with our car race?" At this moment, Li Ke, who did not participate in the competition this time, came over and said, but compared to winning or losing, Cheng Huailiang and others were more enjoyable, but he seemed a little worried. …,
"Third brother, what's wrong, isn't this car race very good, and there are so many people who come to watch, and the scene is so enthusiastic, it's obviously very popular?" Li Su asked a little strangely, although the Datang version of the bicycle race is simply a performance of car racing and boxing in later generations, but he feels that the atmosphere is much more lively than that of later generations, so just now he admired Cheng Huailiang and others who founded the bicycle race.
"Rokuro, don't you know, some time ago our newspaper received submissions, someone wrote an article criticizing the bicycle race is too bloody and brutal, originally this kind of race should be compared to speed, but because there is no restriction in the race, the rider hinders others from racing, and this also makes more and more people like to watch the rider make a trick in the process of the race, but do not pay much attention to the results of the race, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?" Li Su also said helplessly, he really didn't find this problem, but after seeing the manuscript, after his personal observation in the past few days, he found that this problem did exist.
"What's this, anyway, there are no fewer people who come to watch, and our ticket and casino income are also increasing, which shows that there are still a lot of people who like our way of playing!" Cheng Huailiang is the hardcore supporter of this kind of violent bicycle race, so he said nonchalantly at this time.
"How can this work, I think the race should have the appearance of a race, since it is a speed of cycling, then we must distinguish the focus, but in the end, make the bicycle race a car competition!" Li Ke read a lot, and during this period of time in the newspaper and a group of literati, he had a stronger humanistic atmosphere, and he also realized some sportsmanship ideas.
Hearing the dispute between Li Ke and Cheng Huailiang, Li Ke was moved in his heart, now there is still some time before the New Year, and he has nothing else to worry about except for the military academy, medical school and Taoist college......
No, it shouldn't just be a bicycle race, it's going to be bigger. Li Su suddenly thought that he would simply organize all kinds of competitions and make a Datang version of the Olympics, although it is a little simpler now, but he only needs to lay a foundation, and then insist on holding it every few years, so that one day it can develop into a scale like that of later generations!
