Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

At the end of the match, Li Shimin said unconvincedly: "This is the first time I have seen such a match, so this trip is worthwhile."

Feng Deyi, who was following Li Shimin, did not forget to praise Li Ke's ability, and Changsun Wuji surprisingly did not object. To be honest, at such a time, he did not dare to refute Feng Deyi and sweep Li Shimin's character.And other big officials like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others are quite satisfied with the new Cuju.Among them, some people from the Datang military also like the new Cuju competition very much.

Li Ke hurriedly said at this time: "Father, this is just a rehearsal match, the purpose is to promote the new Cuju. Next, the Chang'an City Competition planned by the Cuju Division will begin. The competition will be even more exciting than this. Please return it to me at that time." Father can watch the game."

"Okay! I will definitely go back and watch." Li Shimin smiled, patted Li Ke on the shoulder, then called Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and said to them: "I think Cuju is not only interesting, but also healthy. I heard that you two You have also formed a Cuju team, so let's work with Li Ke to promote the new Cuju sport." Li Chengqian said first: "My father, the son-in-law team has been formed, and they are training intensively these days." Li Tai obediently Said: "Father, in order to support the third brother's Cuju match, I will definitely supervise the team's training seriously."

Li Shimin said to the generals behind him: "I see the new method of Cuju, which requires a lot of exercise and strong confrontation. It doesn't have high requirements for venues and personnel, and it can be popularized in the army."

The generals behind him, such as Chang Sun Shunde, General Liu Hongji of Right Xiaowei, General Zhang Shigui of Right Leading Army, etc., all nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai in front of him and said, "Well, you two have done a good job." He looked at the two of them with approval in his eyes, then turned his gaze to Li Ke, and said to the three of them earnestly: "You are all my emperor. Son, we must help each other in doing things in the future, and unite as one."

"My son, remember father's teachings!" The three replied obediently.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with the three people's answers.Then he asked Li Ke: "Being able to organize such a wonderful competition, I want to meet Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui, who are in charge of Cuju Division in your house."

Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui were not far away, when they heard that Li Shimin wanted to see them, they immediately came over to salute and said, "The master of the palace, Bo and the censor, will wait for the censor Ma Zhou to meet the emperor."

"Liu Rengui, a member of the palace, has seen the emperor."

"You are Ma Zhou?" Li Shimin looked at Ma Zhou in front of him and said.

"The humble minister is Ma Zhou." Ma Zhou said respectfully.

"I have read your old note about the establishment of the Cuju Division of the Datang League, and I see that you have great talent. Seeing that you can run the Cuju Eye League so smoothly today, it shows that I have not misunderstood you, and neither has Li Ke. It is wrong to recommend you to be a pig of the Wangfu."

Ma Zhou said excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty praises me so much, I dare not accept it."

Then, Li Shimin said to Liu Rengui: "You are Chen Cangwei, Liu Rengui?"

Liu Rengui hurriedly replied, "It's the humble minister."

"At the beginning Li Ke asked you to be the rafter of his house, and I wondered why he chose you. Today, it seems that you are indeed talented. You can help Ma Zhou to make the rehearsal match so successful and promote Cuju to the Tang Dynasty. No, I remember you."

Liu Rengui said excitedly: "Thank you, the emperor, for the compliment, I dare not be a humble minister."

Li Shimin saw that the two were cautious and answered well, and his love for talent spontaneously arose, and he stepped forward to help them.Afterwards, looking at the venue of the competition, he said again: "The rehearsal match was successfully completed, the order of the venue was maintained in an orderly manner, and the security was done well. Who is in charge, I want to meet."

Su Dingfang, Dugumou and Deng Tongda hurriedly stepped forward to salute Li Shimin: "See Your Majesty."

Li Shimin looked at the three people in front of him, and immediately recognized them from the official uniforms they were wearing.He looked at the majestic Su Ding, who was wearing the school captain's uniform, and suddenly said: "You are Su Dingfang, the former general of Dou Jiande and Liu Heita, the brave and skilled Su Dingfang?"

Su Dingfang didn't show much surprise when he heard Li Shimin's question, and said without changing his face: "

It was the last general, the lieutenant of the idler Han Wangfu. "

"As expected of a general in the Southern and Northern Wars." Li Shimin supported Su Dingfang and said, "Now that you are able to serve in the Tang Dynasty, it is the blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Su Dingfang hurriedly said: "I dare not be the last general."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "You don't have to be so modest, I can see your talent from the maintenance of order in Jiantian Arena, you are indeed a general, work hard in the palace, and you will have time to show your talent in the future."

Su Dingfang was touched and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He glanced at Dugu Mou again, who was wearing the captain's uniform, and said, "You are Dugu Mou?"

Dugumou excitedly said: "The last general, Dugumou, has met the emperor."

"Get up." Li Shimin helped Dugu Mou and said, "After the hero, I hope you will not insult your father's reputation."

Speaking of his father, Dugu Mou said with a choked voice: "The general will always remember the emperor's teachings, and will definitely live up to my father's spirit in heaven."

Li Shimin said to Deng Tongda in front of him: "Jingzhaoyin Chang'an county captain?"

Deng Tongda had never met Li Shimin before, but he was summoned by Li Shimin today. He was very excited and shouted: "It's the humble minister!"

After Li Shimin praised Yifan Deng Tongda, he saw Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, and Su Dingfang beside Li Ke in front of him and said: "The Chang'an League will be held soon. I am very satisfied with the competition you organized this time. The Chang'an League is well organized. I see that the Cuju Division has not enough personnel, so I will send you a talent!" After speaking, he looked at the left and right ministers, and said to Fang Xuanling behind him: "Xu Jingzong is a member of the Han Palace, and the Cuju Division Deputy Superintendent, to assist Ma Zhou in organizing the Chang'an League."

Minister Fang Xuanling, who was in charge of drafting the edict, quickly agreed: "Don't worry, the emperor, I will draft the edict right away when I return."

As soon as Li Ke heard about Xu Jingzong, he thought of Wu Zetian, and then he thought of Changsun Wuji. It was Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu who brought down Changsun Wuji during Gaozong's reign.Slowly thanking him, he said: "I thank my father and emperor."

At this time, Ma Zhou said: "My Majesty, please say a few words to everyone." Li Shimin looked down and found that the audience was standing with their hands down. He was here, and no one would dare to leave first.Li Shimin then said loudly: "People of the Tang Dynasty, you have suffered. Since I ascended the throne, first Luo Yi rebelled, and then the Turks invaded. The country has suffered many disasters. It is because I, the emperor, did not do well. , let you be bullied by the flames of war."

"Your Majesty!" After saying this, he suddenly found that everyone in the audience knelt down.Li Shimin was very excited when he saw everyone's reaction, "However, we survived the difficulties. Today, from your joyful mood watching Cuju, I can see that Datang is developing step by step, and your Life is also getting richer step by step. Cuju has a profound heritage in Datang, and I hope that in the near future, the sport of Cuju will become popular among the people and become as prosperous as Datang.”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the audience immediately responded with warm applause and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!".Amid the applause, Li Shimin led the eldest grandson empress and the others back to the palace, and the audience began to leave the venue when their chariots were no longer in sight.

The cuju field gradually quieted down. Li Ke, Ma Zhou and others all let out a long sigh of relief. The joy of success made Li Ke really want to run around the field three times, but in the end, Li Ke held back because he Know that this is only the beginning.
