Great Tang princess

The date of the football match was set on the last day of March, which happened to be Saturday, and it was not the day of the court, so I could invite my mother to participate in it.

Wu Zetian didn't care about this, anyway, this game is quite interesting to watch, so it's good to go and watch it live.

His mother was going, so Li Xian, as the crown prince, could naturally follow along, which made him happy immediately.

For him, as long as there are interesting things, he must go and see them.

For so many years, he would watch almost all kinds of festivals and folk activities in the imperial city.

Now that there are more and more interesting things, it is natural to go to the scene to see it.

For this son, Wu Zetian didn't bother to continue to teach him anything.

Anyway, he is not stupid, and his ability to handle affairs is not bad, and with the help of his own daughter, he doesn't have to worry about being deceived by others when he becomes the emperor.

Now I'm not too young, if I like to play, then let's play, as long as I don't lose my mind.

The older Wu Zetian is not as strict as before, and he has a better understanding of this son.

Especially during the period when he was the prince and studied here every day, he could also see a lot of shining points in him.

There are many advantages that I have never noticed.

Perhaps because of this, Li Xian has been scolded less and less in recent years.

Although he himself did not notice this situation, Shangguan Wan'er did.

Sometimes she also thinks, maybe it's because she's getting older that she starts to notice these things.

……

A few days later, when he was in court, Wu Zetian announced that the football match would open soon, and he wanted to watch the opening ceremony live.

When the emperor was going, the ministers were naturally indispensable, so they all said that they wanted to accompany the emperor.

In this way, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell tickets for the opening ceremony.

As long as the news of this matter is released, the venue will probably be full by then.

Although the emperor's head is on the banknotes in circulation today, many people know what the emperor looks like.

But the printed one is a bit different from the photo, this is an opportunity to witness the beauty of the sky, of course not to be missed.

So in just three days, the tickets for the opening ceremony were sold out.

The faces of several club owners who opened the game were all smiles.

More than [-]% of the ticket revenue for a game is invested.

And this year there will be a total of several months of competitions, it seems that this year will be able to earn back all the money invested!
Several bosses decided on the spot that after going back, they will intensify their efforts to train more powerful players, and they must win the championship.

Speaking of which, the championship prize money for this year's competition has also been announced.

The prize money for the champion team is ten gold!

Ten catties of gold, after calculating the final value, there is a lot in the hands of everyone in the club.

It is equivalent to saying that the players who win the championship can become a well-off family in one fell swoop, which is simply too cool!
So the bosses went back one after another and told the players in the club to give me a good kick. If they can win the championship, each person's salary will increase by [-]%.

This kind of feedback makes the athletes feel like they have been beaten, vowing to win the final championship.

This kind of atmosphere is naturally something that Li Yuechen likes to hear and see. He feels that after this time, the influence of this sport should be raised to a higher level.

And this competition, the focus is not only on domestic people.

Many foreign envoys are also watching. After the successful holding, next year's competition may not be domestic, but will compete with foreign teams.

……

Time soon came to the last day of March.

At noon that day, after lunch, Li Xian looked excited and kept walking up and down in Jixian Hall.

Shangguan Wan'er on the side poured a cup of tea into his cup: "His Royal Highness, let's rest, if you wake up your majesty, I'm afraid you will be scolded."

"Hey, I can't wait..." Li Xian shook his head.

But he still obediently sat down at the table and drank tea, after all, he didn't want to wake up his mother who was taking a lunch break.

At the same time, outside the imperial city, the stadium was already full of voices.

Many spectators who couldn't wait came here in the morning, ate two dry food at noon, and then continued to wait for the entrance.

Some people even made corresponding preparations in advance, and set up stalls nearby early on, selling various snacks and tea drinks.

I have to say that people are really smart when they are smart, and the difference can be seen from these small things.

At a moment's notice, the emperor's Luanjia came outside the stadium amidst the urging of the ministers.

A large number of inner guards in black military uniforms quickly dispersed, forming several layers of protective nets.

The ministers also came to the gorgeous Luanjia and waited.

Just as the wheels stopped, another group of inner guards approached.

Opening the car door, Wu Zetian, the emperor's personal court lady, was the first to get down.

These palace maids and fools can see that it is unusual. Although they are dressed as court ladies, they can see the military boots under the skirt when they lift their feet.

And each of them had sharp eyes, and two of them were still holding shotguns in their hands. If you guessed correctly, the others might also have axes or other weapons hanging under their skirts.

The sun was still a little dazzling at this time, and the first thing the ladies of the palace came down was to take out the sunglasses hanging from their collars and put them on their faces.

That's right, these maids of honor are also allotted with sunglasses, although they don't use them most of the time.

It's just that no black sunglasses have been made yet, only red, green, yellow and other colors.

Afterwards, Shangguan Wan'er also got out of the car, turned around and supported Wu Zetian's arm and slowly walked out of the car.

Both of them also wore a pair of sunglasses. From Li Yuechen's point of view, this outfit was really funny.

She was obviously dressed in a gorgeous palace attire, but she wore sunglasses on her face, giving her a nondescript feeling.

But let alone, once you take a few more glances and accept it, you find that this combination is surprisingly good.

After the ministers saluted, Wu Zetian waved his hand slightly, announcing his entry.

They go through the VIP channel, so they don't have to be crowded with other audiences.

After entering the arena, the inner guard and the personal maid walked in the front, followed by the emperor Wu Zetian, and on both sides were Prince Li Xian and other sons and daughters.

Shanghang Wan'er, the commander, stood at the very edge.

Then there are the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who gradually move to the back according to the level of their positions.

Di Renjie, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is only half a stature behind Wu Zetian.

Walking on the passage leading to the stands, Li Yuechen said suddenly: "Mother, you don't have to dress so gorgeously to watch the game today, right? And this crown, isn't it tiring to wear it?"

Although today's Wu Zetian does not wear a crown, it is also a kind of court dress similar to the Daqiu crown worn on formal occasions.

To say that the only difference is that the crown is mainly black.

Today's body is made of red yellow and red.

The crown that Li Yuechen was talking about was the thing hanging down with several strings of beads.

When Li Xian was the emperor, he changed the length of the beads so that they could cover half of his face, and the people below couldn't see him dozing off.

"As an emperor, if you want to appear in front of your subjects, how can you not pay attention to your manners?" Wu Zetian gave a slight lesson.

It made Li Xian, who wanted to agree with his sister, immediately shut up.

Although Li Dan didn't speak, he nodded slightly to express his agreement with his mother.

Only Li Xian listened intently, not participating in this topic at all.

Compared with when he was young, Li Xian today is really calm and powerful.

Coupled with the fact that he exercises every day in the military camp, he is the youngest-looking one among the three brothers.

After the family came to the stands, all the audience stood up and saluted.

Wu Zetian also raised his right arm and made a gesture of raising his hand, signaling his subjects to excuse him.

Then he sat in his seat and announced the start of the game.

The opening ceremony of the first Super League in Dazhou was actually quite simple. It was to let the song and dance troupe in the palace perform a large-scale song and dance program, and then announced the start. The simplicity was unbelievable.

In fact, this is what Li Yuechen meant.

The game is just a good game, there is no need to engage in too many bells and whistles.

At the beginning of the game, Li Xian frowned strangely.

"Why do you feel that these young people play better than the lieutenant generals?"

Li Yuechen said with a smile: "There are specialties in the art field, and these people don't do anything except practice every day. For the lieutenant soldiers, it's just a pastime in their spare time. Naturally, there will be a gap."

"In that case, if they were to compete with the military team at this time, where would the military officers be their opponents?" Li Xian asked curiously.

"Not yet."

Li Yuechen shook his head and explained: "Brother, did you find out? These people are strong in skills. If they fight physically, they are still no match for the soldiers in the army."

These players have only been training for about a year. Although the food is good now, it is only good.

Their food level cannot be compared with that of the army.

So if you just talk about physical fitness, these people are far from being the opponents of the generals.

If the two sides compete, they may be able to overwhelm the army in terms of ball control and other skills.

But once it comes to physical confrontation, collision between the two sides and the like, these people will be crushed instantly.

The main training content of the army in this era is physical. In terms of physical fitness alone, it may even surpass future soldiers.

The training methods in the army are all customized by Li Yuechen. She is a professional athlete herself, so she naturally knows what kind of training method is more scientific.

In addition, soldiers have served for a long time and do not need to produce results in a short period of time, so their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people.

There are also plenty of points to watch in the technical game. Seeing the players' various cooperation and breakthroughs can also make the audience feel excited from time to time.

From time to time, there would be huge cheers in the stadium, which made Wu Zetian's quiet character unbearably infected a lot.

Besides the audience, there are also those foreign envoys who are excited.

Many countries have already started to form their own football teams last year, and they are just waiting for the opportunity to play a game.

After all, you have abundant martial virtues, and I can't defeat you in war.

But if you can beat you in this kind of competition, you can live with face, right?

……

With the start of the game, gambling naturally ushered in a rapid development.

Just today, the turnover reached a terrifying 10 yuan!
Moreover, this number may increase in the future, because the dark guard has received the news that many dudes from other places have already set off, planning to come to Dongdu to watch the football game.

If they are willing to buy at that time, the income of the gaming company will naturally rise accordingly.

……

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the end of April, and about ten games were held.

Every game is almost full, and even many people are willing to pay high prices to buy tickets from other people because they cannot buy tickets.

Even in the worst location, the ticket price has been raised by more than ten times.

So a kind of person was born naturally - the scalper!
At the end of April, at night, Li Yuechen had just returned to the Princess Mansion, and before he had time to sit down and have a sip of tea, Pei Qingwan reported that someone was buying tickets in large quantities and selling them at a high price.

Good guy, there are scalpers so soon?

Li Yuechen felt a little surprised, and then asked: "Who is it?"

"It's just a rogue, but there should be someone behind it." Pei Qingwan replied, "Do you want to check?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about it. I'll ask Wan'er to help."

Professional things should be done by professionals, and investigations should be done by hidden guards.

Shangguan Wan'er on the side immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there will be a result within three days."

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "After you catch it, take it in and drink some tea. I warn you, don't let them stretch their hands too far."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Wan'er understands!" Shangguan Wan'er agreed with a smile.

The efficiency of the hidden guards was quite terrifying. The next night, a detailed document was placed on the dinner table.

After dinner, Li Yuechen looked at this document while drinking tea, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Unexpectedly, his cousin Wu Yizong was involved in this incident.

According to the information, the main messenger behind this is his housekeeper, but it is not clear whether he himself knew about it.

But Wu Yizong is now the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, not in the cabinet.

Unlike Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi brothers, both of them usually flatter and curry favor with Li Yuechen.

But since Wu Yizong was crowned king, his attitude has always been arrogant and domineering.

It seems that as long as he listens to the emperor, no one dares to move.

"Well, these people should go to drink tea as soon as they are called." Li Yuechen smiled, "If Wu Yizong is looking for trouble, I will go to fight him in person."

Although Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what the "alignment" meant, but combined with the context before and after, she could understand what she meant, so she nodded and agreed.

……

So on the second day, all the scalpers were taken away by a group of people in plain clothes with axes in their hands.

Along with it is Wu Chao, the butler of Wu Yizong.

These people were brought into the dark guard, drank some tea, and then were released.

But that night, Wu Yizong entered the palace, knelt in front of the emperor and cried loudly, saying that Princess Taiping bullied him, and begged His Majesty to call the shots.

This scene of crying and making a fuss could not be concealed at all, and almost all the ministers in the court knew about it early the next morning.

Many people wanted to see what would happen this time, only Di Renjie and a few sober people just waved their hands and said they knew, and then lost interest.
