Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 267 A blow to the head (2)

"The polo match is a grand occasion to enjoy with the people, and you must not miss it without reason."

Li Xian's mind suddenly thought of Gaozong's obviously weird oral order, and then thought of the strange look in the eyes of the very unfamiliar little eunuch who came to pass the decree before he left, and he felt faint. With a little understanding, it is that Gaozong seems to be quite disapproving of Empress Wu's big move to make all Wu's disciples stand out, and it is very likely that he is counting on Li Xian to stand up to suppress this unhealthy trend. If this is the case, Li Xian has reason to believe that After Emperor Gaozong failed in the secret discussion with Shangguanyi to abolish the empress, he was already dissatisfied with the fact that the palace was full of empress Wu's eyes. He started to set up his confidants in the palace, but the range of movements was not large, and it was difficult to attract the attention of others.

Tsk tsk, did the old man wake up now? Hey, it's a pity. It's too late. You don't have the courage to make a comeback. You can't make a few more troubles. You still have to honestly retreat!Two generations of father and son, Li Xian really understands Gaozong's personality so well that he can't believe that Gaozong really has the ability to wrestle with Empress Wu. Even if he has a little courage, once he meets Empress Wu The final result of "tyranny" can only last as long as soap bubbles in the sun. Although it is beautiful, it is not practical at all, but it does not prevent Li Xian from taking advantage of it.

"Your Highness."

Li Xian has always been a man of action. Once he has made up his mind, he will not hesitate too much, so he got up and walked to the second floor. He just went down the stairs, and Gao Miao, who heard the noise, hastily greeted him. Come, bow and call.

"My lord has something I want you to do right away..." Li Xian looked around at the officials of the royal family who had already stood up and bowed in the second floor, nodded slightly, pressed his hand to signal everyone to go at their own pace, and then posted it on the In Gao Miao's ear, he gave instructions in a low voice.

"Yes, servant girl will do it now, please rest assured, Your Highness."

After listening to Li Xian's order, Gao Miao had a weird look on his face, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just respectfully agreed, and then rushed downstairs immediately with strides... The first pass of Polo When entering the Central Plains, it was just a kind of entertainment, and there were not many rules at all. Generally speaking, two groups of people were playing and playing. A whole set of related regulations, such as not hitting the opponent's horse with a club, hitting the ball over the head of the opponent's defender, and not hitting the ball at the opponent's man or horse, and so on. There are many kinds of regulations, as many as two There are more than ten items. As for the number of participants, the judgment of the outcome is relatively more flexible. It can be played by dozens of people, or three or five people. There are also three different methods for judging the outcome of the game—— In a polo game, scoring a goal is called winning (the saying "appears to be the first" originated from the polo term.), the first way to determine the outcome is that the winner wins, and this method is probabilistic Too high, not enough to represent the real strength of both parties, so it is not commonly used; the second method is to get the most chips within the specified time to win, and the third method is unlimited time, the first to get the specified number of chips wins, The latter two methods can be used in the event, depending on the wishes of the organizer.

The Mid-Autumn Polo Tournament is a large-scale event held by the royal family. It goes without saying that the participating teams are of high level. At the beginning of the game, there were more than 12 teams that signed up for the competition. The level of each team is uneven. It is fair For the sake of consideration, a group round robin system is adopted, and the winner is determined by the one who first obtains the prescribed number of chips. When the semi-finals are reached, the knockout match is adopted, and the winner is the one who obtains the highest number of chips within a limited time. That is to say, each team is limited to [-] people, ten people on the field, divided into two halves, half-time is a stick of incense, and each team can rotate players at will in the middle of the field, but the number of players must not exceed ten. The team with the most numbers wins, and the order of each team's appearance is based on the draw. Obviously, the team that gets to play first has one more game break than the opponent, which is considered to be a bit of an advantage, but then again. Well, luck itself is a part of strength, but it doesn't hinder fairness.

In his previous life, Li Xian was extremely obsessed with polo. He would feel itchy all over his body if he didn't play a game for a few days. , compared to the previous life, I don’t know how many times stronger. As far as personal skills are concerned, those who can compete with Li Xian in the Tang Dynasty are definitely no more than the number of hands, but because Li Xian is low-key, he is unknown to outsiders. .

As the saying goes, Liba looks at the excitement, and an expert looks at the doorway. In the eyes of a master-level expert like Li Xian, every tactical change and every detail on the court is clearly distinguishable. The specific strength of the team is the result of victory or defeat. In the previous game, Li Xian was distracted. He only knew that the Luwang team won a [-]-[-] victory in the end, but he didn't know much about the strength of the Luwang team. , As for the second game, Li Xian put some thought into it, and after just a glance, he saw some clues - the second game consisted of the "Tiger of the Habayashi" against the right Xiaowei officer "Team Qilin", the two sides opened up their formation at the beginning of the game, attacking and attacking each other. There were endless scenes of fierce scrambles on the scene, which can be described as dazzling, and even the cheers outside the field went straight to the sky, but in Li Xian's eyes, it was completely That’s not the case—at least half of the members of the “Kirin Team” are throwing water, and they seem to be aggressive when scrambling for the ball. In fact, they slow down the hands and feet of the front line intentionally or unintentionally when they are fighting for the ball, and they act extremely covertly. Could it be that it is extremely difficult for a master-level master like Li Xian to see the mystery.

It's boring, but that old bastard is quite capable, she can play tricks even in this kind of competition, hey, don't you just want to let those bastards show up in a high-profile way, so we won't let it!Knowing the result of the match-fixing, it seems naturally boring. No matter how hot the scene is, to Li Xian, it is like chewing wax. After watching most of the game patiently, Li Xian has lost interest. Cui Liu and the others were shouting excitedly there, Li Xian shook his head slightly, not bothering to disturb the rare excitement of the girls, got up alone, walked down the stairs slowly, and led several The famous personal guard walked towards the "Biyun Pavilion" where the Prince Lu's Mansion was not far away.

"Seventh brother, why did you come here, but what happened?"

Li Xian was on the second floor of the "Biyun Pavilion" admonishing the participating bodyguards and doing the general mobilization before the battle. When he heard Li Xian came, he didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurried downstairs. When he saw Li Xian With an obvious face, he immediately asked with a strange look on his face.

"It's okay, just come to Sixth Brother's place for a walk."

This kind of people talked a lot, Li Xian would not tell what was in his heart, he just gave Li Xian a look with a smile, and replied casually.

"Oh, well, let's go upstairs and sit down."

Seeing the subtle look in Li Xian's eyes, Li Xian couldn't help being taken aback, but soon came back to his senses, glanced at Li Xian suspiciously, waved his hand, and said please.

"Sixth brother, please."

Li Xian chuckled, and also made a gesture of invitation, and then, without further words, he and Li Xian went up to the third floor one after the other.

"Hi Uncle Seven."

Li Xian got married early, and his eldest son, Guangshun, was in his early three years old. He was at his most naughty, impatiently sitting and watching the game, and running around the third floor. When Li Xian went upstairs, he immediately yelled loudly, flew over, covered in stinky sweat, and slipped into Li Xian's arms, a pair of small hands unceremoniously stretched into Li Xian's big sleeves , fumbled indiscriminately.

"How is Uncle Seven? I'm afraid it's a gift from Uncle Seven! Little Guangshun is being naughty again, be careful that Uncle Seven will spank your little ass." How could Li Xian not know that Guangshun was fumbling for a gift in his arms, so he Smiling and cursing, he hugged the little guy up, shook his hand, and a small jasper pendant appeared in his palm.

"Oh yeah……"

Xiao Guangshun didn't mean to be polite to Li Xian at all, he grabbed the jade pendant with his small hand, shouted triumphantly, and looked at Li Xian's forehead covered in black lines.

"Go, go to your mother's place!"

Li Xian had something on his mind, and he didn't want Xiao Guangshun to mess around here, so he put on a serious face, pretending to be a strict father, and stared at Xiao Guangshun.

"yeah!"

Xiao Guangshun obviously didn't pay much attention to the majesty of his father, stuck out his tongue, made a face, twisted his body, jumped out of Li Xian's arms, and ran away without looking back. up.

"This brat is a bastard, and the seventh brother laughed at him."

Li Xian obviously had no good solution to Xiao Guangshun's naughtiness, so he had no choice but to laugh bitterly at himself.

"It's okay, boy, it's better to be naughty."

Li Xian has always been very fond of Xiao Guangshun, and brought him some fun gifts every time we met. Generally, it was because of the unjust death of Xiao Guangshun in his previous life, and Li Xian had deep sympathy for him. In the heart, seeing Li Xian was extremely embarrassed at this moment, Li Xian didn't care, and explained Li Xian's words with a smile.

"Forget it, let him go, seventh brother, please!"

Li Xian had Li Xian's intention in mind, so he didn't want to talk too much about Xiao Guangshun, so he waved his hand and let Li Xian into a small cubicle on the third floor.

"Sixth brother, what do you think about the strength of 'Tiger of the Habayashi'?"

Li Xian didn't ask Li Xian to guess the riddle, as soon as Bu sat down, he asked questions.

"Very strong, but brother, I have the confidence to fight and win."

Li Xiannao didn't understand why Li Xian asked this matter in a decent manner, but he didn't think much about it, raised his brows, and answered confidently.

"That's good, Brother Six must win this game!"

Li Xian's eyes sharpened, and he said the words almost word for word.

"Ok?"

Hearing what Li Xian said, Li Xian immediately froze, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and was speechless for a while...
