Chapter Seventy-One: The Eunuch Who Begins to Reverse His Position

"Good, good ball!"

In the West Garden, due to Lu Qiang's advice, the juju team composed of the colorful girls in Liu Hong's palace finally tried to perform a juju game for Liu Hong in the garden of the West Garden after two days of simple drills, that is, kicking football.

In the Han Dynasty, the tabal was popular, and the taju competition was often carried out for the entertainment of the Gaomen and the royal family, but the most common one was in the army, after all, the tabal is a kind of physical strength, and there is a certain impact of the project, so when the military sergeants are entertained, they are often fully armed for the tabal competition, one can be entertained, and the other can also exercise the physical strength and strength of the sergeants.

However, in the Han Dynasty, women formed teams to conduct taju competitions, although it cannot be said that there are none, but there are definitely very few.

In particular, the two taju teams that Lu Qiang is now organizing are unique in the entire Han Dynasty.

These two teams of colorful girls are not like the soldiers who wore outer jackets, wrapped in knee pads, and wore square scarves on their heads to prevent injury, on the contrary, these colorful girls did not even wear curved skirts, but wore silk shorts and half-sleeved clothes designed by Lu Qiang, and the neckline of the clothes was also designed to be particularly low.

Their hair was not coiled, either draped or tied in a bunch, and they ran lightly up and down the court.

According to Liu Jian, don't look at the women who play football or those women in Liu Hong's palace, but different dresses and behaviors will create an unprecedented fresh feeling for the emperor.

It doesn't matter if the ball is played well or not, the emperor's focus is not on the ball under their feet...... It's on the players.

Not long after the women's ball game started, Liu Hong was a little overwhelmed.

To tell the truth, these colorful girls play really stinky, and Liu Hong can play better than them when he closes his eyes on the court.

But the problem is, these colorful girls who have been tired of playing crookedly by him on weekdays, as soon as they got on the field today, they competed there with long arms and legs, how could they look so gratifying?

Liu Hong stared at the female players in the field one by one, each of them was so familiar, but each of them was not so familiar.

It's a real treat.

"Good, good, good kick! Strike! ”

Liu Hong is in good spirits today, and he doesn't seem to be so happy for a long time.

He clapped his palms vigorously and called 'good ball', but he didn't know which ball he was talking about.

When they were young, after a game, the female players walked up to Liu Hong one by one, waiting for the emperor to comment on their skills.

Liu Hong stood up with a red face, lectured at the players one by one, cheered them on, and pointed out the ball skills one by one, and did not forget to reach out and touch the buttocks and legs of the female players when pointing, and inform them of the skills of kicking.

Lu Qiang looked at Liu Hong, who was in high spirits and foaming at the sky, and he really couldn't figure it out.

That's it? What's so much to be happy about?

The balls played by these girls are not as energetic as his eggless eunuchs, and we don't understand what is exciting about this bowing competition.

Therefore, eunuchs and normal men will never really have a common topic in terms of entertainment and excitement.

The routine of uniforms can never be understood by eunuchs.

"Lu Qing!"

Liu Hong's greeting pulled Lu Qiang back to reality from his contemplation.

"Your Majesty calls the old slave?"

"Okay, Lu Qing, your Taju team is very well organized! Aiqing is so loyal, I am very comforted. ”

Liu Hong hadn't praised Lu Qiang like this for many years, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

He hurriedly saluted, and his voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty has praised it!" The old slave, the old slave just wants to share the worries of His Majesty. ”

"You're so worried." Liu Hong patted Lu Qiang's shoulder vigorously: "I am very satisfied, and I need to be diligent in the future." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty! The old slave must do his best to share His Majesty's worries! ”

"I haven't seen enough of this ball today, how about letting them play it later?"

"Your Majesty has the final say! But the old slave has one more suggestion. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you go down and bow with them in a while?"

Liu Hong was surprised: "You let me play with them?" ”

Liu Hong turned his head to look at those colorful girls in surprise, the sweat had penetrated their clothes at the moment, and something in the clothes was hazy and faint.

Liu Hong looked at it for a while, and then showed a strong interest.

"yes, I'll have to kick them myself! The essence of this tabow, the woman still can't comprehend it after all, I have to dial it myself! ”

Thinking of playing with them for a while, Liu Hong's excited feet began to itch.

It's an interesting thing that I've never experienced before.

Lu Qiang continued to admonish on the side: "Your Majesty, these two teams of colorful girls will compete in the bow today, and there will be winners and losers, and Your Majesty still needs to reward the winners and encourage them to continue to practice their bow skills to entertain Your Majesty." ”

"This is very good, Lu Qing, what do you say I will reward?"

"The winning team slept overnight, how does Your Majesty feel?"

Liu Hong was surprised and delighted when he heard it: "Qing regards me as a reward?" ”

"Isn't Your Majesty the greatest reward for them?"

"Oh! Right! It's the pole, it's the pole! Come! Fast! Change clothes, I want to bow! ”

Lu Qiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty waits, today is Zhao Zhongchang's shift, and Your Majesty has not given him the edicts conveyed to the various departments." ”

"This Zhao Zhong is really a grind! Why hasn't this hour come yet? ”

Liu Hong frowned, and said very dissatisfiedly: "Don't wait for him, you go to the various offices on my behalf to convey my edict today!" ”

"Huh?!"

Lu Qiang was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, in the past, the people who conveyed the edict to the various departments were all Zhang, Zhao, Guo, and Feng, and the four permanent servants, Your Majesty has never granted the hand of others, and the old slave has never done ......."

"I haven't done anything you learned!"

Liu Hong waved his hand impatiently: "You may have been a regular attendant for many years, and I still need to teach you this little thing personally?" ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty taught you!"

Lu Qiang's heart was very happy at this moment, and he hurriedly said, "The old slave will do it!" ”

After Lu Qiang left, Liu Hong rubbed his hands excitedly, glanced back and forth at the colorful girls who were sweaty and still panting and tired, and said, "Don't be stunned, I'm very interested today, let's go!" Come on both of you and kick me in for a few kicks! ”

……

Lu Qiang set off with the edict conveyed by Liu Hong to the various departments.

The first one was to go to Zongzheng Temple to see the great Zongzheng Liu Yan and urge him to deal with the matter of checking the bloodline of Liu Jian's Han family as soon as possible.

But to be honest, there are too many archival documents in Zongzheng Temple, like mountains and seas, and Liu Jian himself is still the clan of the Liu family of the former Han Dynasty.

It seems that this kind of former Han clan relatives want to find the root of the sect in the sect, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and everyone knows this.

But now, Lu Qiang has made up his mind in his heart - Liu Jian is a good ally, he is even smarter than he imagined, and since he can do his best to help himself to obtain the Holy Grace, then he must also help him well!

After all, in Lu Qiang's heart, he and Liu Jian are both loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.

came to Zongzheng Temple, met Zongzheng Liu Yan, and Lu Qiang, on behalf of Liu Hong, urged Liu Yan.

Originally, it was just a normal reminder procedure, but Lu Qiang just added some condiments to Liu Yan.

After announcing the edict, Lu Qiang added to Liu Yan with a smile: "Please also ask Zongzheng to hurry up, this matter seems to be a little urgent to Your Majesty." ”

This is very level, what does it mean to be 'like' a little urgent?

Is it in a hurry or not?

When others hear this, they may not take it very seriously, but Liu Yan is not in vain, as one of Liu Hong's most trusted Han clan relatives, Liu Yan, like his old boss Hu Guang, is a tumbler in officialdom.

One of his best skills is to read words and colors, and to guess the importance of a thing through the details.

Lu Qiang's words made him a little alert.

"Hehe, stay in the middle of the waiter."

Liu Yan stopped Lu Qiang and asked, "May I ask the Zhongchang Servant, to investigate the matter of Liu Jian's clan seniority, but it is a matter of public discussion in the imperial court?" ”

Lu Qiang was silent for a while, and said: "If you return to Zongzheng, it is specifically because Your Majesty didn't say anything, it's just that Your Majesty deliberately asked about it during yesterday's dinner and today's morning meal, and that's it." ”

Liu Yan secretly complained in his heart.

Ask again for breakfast, ask again for dinner, what does this prove? It proves that His Majesty is in a hurry to go to the room!

If these words are Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and those eunuchs, Liu Yan may have some doubts, after all, Liu Yan knows the heart of those people, and none of them are good people, they are all good at forming a party, and they are all ruthless and selfish.

But now the person who said this is Lu Qiang.

This person is not as sinister and unreliable as Zhang Rang, although he is a eunuch, he still has benevolence and righteousness in his heart.

And Lu Qiang is not a party or a selfish person, what he does on weekdays is to persuade Liu Hong, and he is not welcomed anywhere.

Such a person has no tendency to take sides in the DPRK and China, which means that he has no selfish interests, and what he says is 90% true.

"Then dare to ask the Zhongchang servant, why does Your Majesty want to investigate this Liu Jian?"

"Alas, the old slave doesn't know......"

"You don't have to hide your secrets, the old man knows you as a person, you also know the old man's personality, and the old man can be regarded as His Majesty's henchman in the clan, between us, what else can't be said?"

Lu Qiang smiled faintly and said: "If you go back to Zongzheng, the old slave is indeed unaware, but Your Majesty seems to be really interested in this Liu Jian, and has a lot of expectations, and in the past two days, he has always been talking about what is lacking in his hand, and most of the children of the clan are overwhelmed......

"Oh."

Hearing this, Liu Yan naturally understood.

Since we have talked about this, if I don't do anything again, I will inevitably lose face to Your Majesty.

In this way, Zongzheng Temple clearly gave Liu Jianzheng as a member of the Han Dynasty and clarified his seniority, which is the result that His Majesty wants to see!

Liu Yan smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for telling me the truth." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Majesty is waiting over there, please ask Zongzheng to hurry up...... The old slave took his leave. ”
