Capital Datang

Chapter 195 Tubo's First Gold Medal

Tough!calm!wise...

Almost the same as what he saw outside the city last time, Li Yin saw many advantages of Songtsan cadres in the eyes of the other party, but the only thing missing was the most important ambition. It seems that after entering Chang'an, the other party has already It is very wise to bury his ambitions. After all, what he has to face is Li Shimin, an emperor through the ages, and exposing too much ambition will not benefit them in the slightest.

And Songtsan Gambo was also looking up and down at Li Yin, his memory was very good, the last time he had a chance glance outside the city, he already had a deep impression on Li Yin and Li Ke, after the game just now At that time, he already knew Li Ke's identity, so he also guessed about Li Yin's true identity.

Li Yin sized up Songtsan Gampo several times with scrutiny, and finally showed a hypocritical smile, turned around and left without saying anything.But when he was leaving, he found an acquaintance beside Songtsan Gampo, that is, Lu Dongzan, who was beaten into a pig's head by himself two years ago. He was sentenced to two years in prison for insulting the princess of the Tang Dynasty. , It hadn't expired yet, but Songtsan Gampo came to visit and personally apologized to Li Shimin, so he was extra merciful and released Lu Dongzan.

Seeing Li Yin turned and left, Songtsan Gambo turned to Lu Dongzan and asked, "Master, that young man just now should be the famous king of Qi, right?" Capital Datang 195

"My lord, this person is the king of Qi, and it was he who took the lead back then, which triggered the Songzhou battle between us and Datang!" Lu Dongzan looked at the back of Li Yin leaving, and there was " Show a trace of hatred.He was imprisoned by the Tang Dynasty for two years, and his family's influence in Tubo was greatly affected. Although he is still the prime minister of Tubo, the power in his hands is not as good as before.

"Hmph! Do you still have the face to mention that?" Songtsan Gampo couldn't help feeling a little angry when he thought of the war that cost Tubo a huge loss. Not only did that war cost more than half of Tubo's 20 troops, but it also caused a huge loss. It caused huge turmoil in the country.It has not completely calmed down until now, otherwise he would not have gone to Datang to pretend to be his grandson immediately after hearing that Datang launched an attack on Gaochang.And the root cause of all this.It was caused by Lu Dongzan's lack of strict control.

Seeing the lord's anger, Lu Dongzan could not help feeling very wronged while being terrified.The guy who caused trouble at the beginning was not his entourage, but an official sent by Songtsan Gampo. It had nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, that unlucky guy was seriously injured on the spot and died in the end. Now he wants to I can't find anyone to take the blame.

Immediately after the game, the award was presented. When Li Yin found the young man who won the championship, he found that he was surrounded by a group of gentlemen from the newspaper office, answering all kinds of tricky questions they asked profusely.

"Brother Zhou. After you win the championship this time, you can get a huge sum of [-] guan. After getting the money, what do you want to do the most?" asked.

"I...I want to use this money to treat my mother's illness. By the way, I will marry a wife!" The young man in blue clothes called Zhou Xiaoge has a simple and honest appearance, and he is the kind of honest and reliable person at first glance. His responses also echoed his appearance.

"Okay! After receiving the funds, he will treat his mother's illness first, then marry a wife and have children, and carry on the family line. He really is a filial person!" The newspaper man who asked the question responded very quickly.While bowing his head to record, he praised loudly.

It's just that Li Yin next to him feels that the other party is a bit nonsense. It is indeed filial piety to treat his mother, but it is a bit too much to include marrying a daughter-in-law as filial piety, right?But he also knows that all journalists have this kind of "problem". No matter what is irrelevant, as long as they need it, they can pull it into their own goals.

"Brother Zhou, what did you do before, why did you ride a bike so fast?" Another gentleman from Datang Daily asked. Compared with the gentlemen from other newspapers, Datang Daily asked more reliable questions.

"I am a postman at the post station in the east of the city. Since a year ago, I have been delivering letters on a bicycle issued by the imperial court every day. I have not stopped for a whole year, so I am used to it!" He touched his head embarrassingly, and said with a simple and honest smile.

I see!When the people around heard it, they immediately showed expressions of sudden realization. No wonder they rode so fast. It turned out that they had been riding for a whole year. Of course, this little brother Zhou must have talent in this area, otherwise Changan There are so many postmen around, why only others can win the championship?

Li Yin was also very surprised when he heard that. With the development of industry and commerce, the ancient "government" institutions such as post stations have added many new functions. For example, because of the smooth roads and more and more people going out to do business, letters The exchanges became more frequent, so the communication function of the post station itself began to be enhanced. For example, the postmen in Chang’an began to be equipped with horses, but later found that the cost of raising horses was too high, so they changed it to bicycles. Unexpectedly, a bicycle was cultivated. Champion, this world is really wonderful!

After the newspaper interview was almost finished, the staff of the Winter Games pulled that little brother Zhou away, and then together with Songtsan Gampo and Li Jingye, they presented the first awards of the Winter Games. The difference is that a king stands in the runner-up position, a head lower than brother Zhou, the postman. Li Jingye, as the grandson of the Duke of Wei, is also the heir to the Duke of Wei, but he stands in the third place, with the lowest family background. Brother Zhou stood on the highest champion in the middle with an uneasy expression, obviously full of awe of the two big men around him.

Li Yin looked at the scene in front of him, but he had a strange idea in his heart, because this may be the first time in China's feudal society of more than 2000 years that the differences in status and status have been broken, and the rankings are truly ranked according to their own abilities. None of the three people on the board realized this, but I believe that after many years, the consciousness of equality and freedom will start to awaken, and there will definitely be people who will greatly appreciate this scene in front of them.

Li Yin personally awarded medals to the three of them. These medals are all real gold and silver, and all of them are handcrafted by master craftsmen in Chang'an. The meaning contained in it is also known as the most valuable medal in the history of the Datang Games.

After the cycling race, the next few races were held at the same time, mainly track and field sports, including several long and short races, as well as high jump, long jump, shot put and other events, which were all moved by Li Yin according to the sports of later generations , for the Tang people, it was too novel, so only some people near Chang'an got the news early and started to practice, so the number of participants was not many, and the competition went on relatively quickly.

However, in these competitions, there was an unexpected surprise, that is, in the sprint event, a Tibetan participated. At that time, Li Yin saw that the Tibetan was short and thin, so he didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, the competition just started, This guy was like a cheetah, throwing the other players far away, and the Tibetans watching the game applauded loudly.According to Li Yin's estimation, this guy can definitely run [-] meters in less than ten seconds.

With such a strongman participating, the champion was naturally won by the Tubo people without any suspense. Winning one championship on the first day greatly boosted the Tibetan people's morale. After all, as long as they win three championships, then their marriage with Datang That's half the battle.

However, Li Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Due to lack of preparation, the sprint events were not so detailed. It was just a general sprint with a distance of about 200 meters. There was also a kilometer long distance for other track races. And 195-meter long-distance running and relay running.The Tubo man did not participate in these three competitions. It seems that the opponent has a strong explosive speed, and endurance is not the opponent's strong point.Capital Datang [-]

In the field competitions, the Tubo people also signed up for several events, but because these field competitions are relatively new, and the Tubo people do not have players who are too against the sky, and the players from Datang are not vegetarian, so they participated Without exception, all projects ended in failure.

However, in the shot put competition, Li Yin discovered a strong player among the Tubo people. This person's Tubo name is too long, and it is transliterated into Chinese as Mantu. He is a man of strange strength comparable to Fang Yiai. The terrifying muscles look like rocks.He lost to Fang Yiai by only a few steps in the shot put competition. This is not to say that his strength is inferior to the opponent, but because of the wrong posture of the shot put, which resulted in the inability to use all of his strength. That's why he lost. a little.

After the morning competition was completed, the champions of each event also received their medals. In the afternoon, there were three events, two of which were more traditional events, one was horse racing, and the other was wrestling. The most important one is the javelin project proposed by Li Yin.

The Tubo people are also very interested in these three events, and all of them have signed up. Among them, in the horse racing event, the Tubo people sent three riders at once. The lieutenant generals of the young army couldn't bear to participate in the competition, but because there were too many participants, they had to be divided into two groups, and the top five in each group were determined, and then the finals were held. In the end, the riders from Datang were superior and were defeated A general who is said to be from the Xuanjia Army won the championship. As for the generals Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye, although they also participated, they were eliminated in the first round. The gap was too great.

Although Datang won the championship in the horse race, but in the next wrestling battle, Fang Yiai met his opponent. Mantu, who lost a little in the shot put competition, showed his prowess and defeated more than a dozen players in a row. Throwing down the stage, there were also several masters sent by countries in the Western Regions, all of whom were defeated in a mess.

Fang Yiai's performance was no less impressive. Almost all the contestants who met him ended their battles in a short time. Therefore, the two brute men, who were like prehistoric giants, finally met in the final as expected. rq! ! !
