Great Tang princess

Now football has become the favorite game of the people in Dazhou, not one of them.

It can be seen from the scale of last year, so this year other countries have sent their own football teams, wanting to compete with the big Monday.

After all, you may not be able to beat you in war, but if you can beat Da Zhou in sports, that would be a good thing.

Of course, Li Yuechen would definitely not refuse anything about sports.

She is an athlete herself, so she has always expressed great support for sports events.

For other countries to come to participate in football matches, instead of refusing, Li Yuechen would spare a lot of energy to help them.

After all, this can be regarded as the origin of the World Cup. If this competition can continue for thousands of years, people who love football all over the world will remember that it started in Dazhou.

In the next two or three days, football teams from all over the world arrived one after another, and Li Yuechen also went to the palace to tell his mother about the World Cup.

While Wu Zetian was still frowning and thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, Li Xian couldn't wait to get excited.

"It's a competition that all countries in the world participate in. It's such a good feeling! Brother, I have to go and have a look at it." Li Xian said with a smile.

In essence, this is a sports competition, and Wu Zetian has no opinion on it. After all, this is also a good opportunity to promote exchanges between countries.

"But Auntie wants to lend me all the court musicians in Jiaofang Division." Li Yuechen said.

After all, this kind of world-class large-scale competition cannot be done without a suitable background music.

"How many people do you want?" Wu Zetian asked softly.

"all!"

In fact, many years ago, Li Yuechen had these court musicians conduct experiments.

The musical instruments of this era can play a feeling similar to electronic sounds. This time, these court musicians are going to collaborate on a piece of music and perform it at the opening ceremony.

The choice of music is "attention" by Masasumi Ozawa. This piece of music was a commonly used BGM in a column called World Football in China. It was affectionately called the goalkeeper's execution song by domestic netizens.

All the musicians in Jiaofang Division add up to thousands of people. Although there is no sound system in this era, these people can be scattered all over the stadium, and when the time comes, they will play together synchronously, which can also create a symphony effect.

When leaving the palace, Li Yuechen had a smile on his lips.

This time, let you have a good high, and let these foreign envoys take a good look. Not only is my great week full of martial arts, but also our culture is still far behind you.

……

In the following time, apart from his daily work, Li Yuechen began to train the musicians of Jiaofang Division.

I first hummed the tune a few times and asked them to write out the score.

The so-called imperial use may be just a brand in the future, but in this era, it represents the top level in the country.

The musicians quickly completed the score according to Li Yuechen's humming.Then began the intense and exciting rehearsal.

During this period, newspapers on May [-] also announced the opening of the World Cup on the first day of June.

At the same time, the production of the championship trophy is also in progress.

Like future trophies, the real trophy is made of solid gold and will be held aloft by the winning team during the awards ceremony.

Of course, they'll be replaced with a gold-plated one when they leave.

During this period of time, the second typewriter soon entered the palace. Considering that Princess Yiyang was in charge of the newspaper office and had to keep meeting minutes in the court, the second typewriter was placed with her.

After a few days to get used to it, she excitedly said to Li Yuechen: "If this thing can be equipped with a few more sets, the newspaper can be changed to a seven-day issue in the future."

"Sister, this item is very expensive." Li Yuechen replied helplessly.

It's not that she doesn't want to, but that the cost of this thing is there after all.

However, Princess Yiyang raised her eyebrows and said: "As for the money, the newspaper office has it. Chen'er hasn't bothered to ask about the newspaper office these years, so she may not be clear about it. Many businessmen are willing to spend money to advertise in the newspaper, and Those who pay to publish their own poems and articles..."

Having said that, Li Yuechen already understood, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Sister, tell me, how many do you want? In the future, this newspaper will be published every seven days!"

She really didn't pay much attention to the newspaper office these years, she thought it was a place to spend money, but she didn't expect that it would actually start to make a profit now.

But in the final analysis, it is still because of being too rich. Li Yuechen has many properties under his name, and the newspaper office is just one of them.

In addition, Pei Qingwan is usually in charge of her properties, so she has no idea how much money she has.

Now that the newspaper office has money, it can allocate a few more sets, which can be regarded as stimulating economic consumption.

……

At the end of May, almost everyone in the city was discussing the World Cup. In this era of lack of entertainment, this is the only news that can make people excited.

Last year's games were all club games within the big week, and now it is an exciting thing to compete with other countries.

On the other hand, the training of the court musicians has been completed, and Li Yuechen even asked them to take them to the stadium for several rehearsals.

Although the effect is not as good as the surround sound of the future, it has a special flavor, at least it can be heard in the entire stadium.

And the musicians during this period also benefited a lot. They used to play nothing more than two kinds of music.

Either it is an elegant type with a relatively slow rhythm, or it is more serious with a fast and compact rhythm like military music.

But the song that the princess rehearsed this time is different from the ones she has been exposed to before, and it is a brand new style.

Many musicians were deeply inspired by this, and planned to try to compose this type of music by themselves after returning home.

On the night of May [-]th, an airship slowly descended from the night sky.

After the hatch opened, Li Chongrun jumped out of the airship.

The servants who had been waiting here hurried over to take his backpack, while he himself walked forward quickly to Li Yuechen: "Auntie, I'm back."

Li Yuechen nodded slightly, smiled and said: "It happens that the football match is about to start, so you can watch the game here first."

"My nephew thinks so too."

Because of the decision to build the Northern Army Division, Li Chongrun was called back this time.

He has about a month's vacation, and then he will set off for the northern border to serve as the chief of the military division.

And his conferring ceremony was also decided to be held here in Dongdu.

The news of Li Chongrun's return was naturally known by many people, so Wei Lian'er and Li Xian came out to greet him the moment he returned to the Prince's mansion.

In fact, in this age of filial piety, it is very rare for parents to go out to welcome their children.

But this is enough to show that today's royal family has changed a lot.

When Li Chongrun jumped off the carriage, Wei Lian'er couldn't wait to hold his cheeks and watched: "I heard that my son rushed to the front line, is he injured?"

"Don't worry, mother, the baby is fine!"

Li Chongrun, who has grown up, is not used to the feeling of being held by his mother. He took two steps back and replied respectfully: "My child has enough training on weekdays and has new weapons in his hands. How can he be so easily injured?"

"It's fine, it's fine..." Wei Lian'er nodded repeatedly and replied, "Seeing that my son is fine, mother can feel relieved."

Li Xian on the side smiled: "In the future, you won't have to go to the battlefield in person, right?"

Li Chongrun nodded: "My aunt said that I should go to the northern border to serve as the commander of the military division. If there is a war in the future, I will mainly be in charge of command. Unless it is an emergency, I don't have to go to the battlefield by myself."

Hearing such an answer, Wei Lian'er was finally relieved.

During this period of time, I have been worried, knowing that my son will not have to go to the battlefield in person, so I am relieved.

"I just came back this time, why don't I tell my father what happened on the battlefield." As a prince who grew up in a deep palace, Li Xian has always been curious about these things.

However, Li Chongrun was not interested in telling him stories: "Why are there so many interesting things on the battlefield? It's all bloody and disgusting. It's better not to listen, Grandpa."

"Didn't you use the musket? It's not the ax..." Li Xian said.

However, when thinking about the original experiment, the scenes where the sheep were directly smashed did not continue to ask.

Since the sheep can be directly smashed, the person thinks about it.

"Don't listen to you, lord, I'll have a good rest when my son comes back! I've already prepared food for my mother..."

As Wei Lian'er spoke, she dragged her son inside.

Li Xian spread his hands helplessly, then shook his head, and walked in behind while twirling the health ball.

Li Chongrun, who was pulled by his mother, could only smile helplessly, and at the same time, he was also thinking in his heart that he should take advantage of this vacation to be filial to his parents.

But even the holidays are certainly not going to be too easy.

The next day, which happened to be the last day of May, Li Chongrun rushed to the Qianniuwei barracks early to participate in his awarding ceremony.

It stands to reason that the rank of school officer should be worn by the general officer, but considering that he is a member of the royal family after all, the Marshal Li Yuechen personally gave him the epaulettes.

Although it is said that he has already been on the battlefield and has actual combat experience.

But at the end of the day, you are still young.So when the conferring ceremony was over, Li Chongrun couldn't help laughing with satisfaction as he looked at the brand new epaulets on his shoulders.

"Why? Is this enough?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

Li Chongrun quickly shook his head: "I just thought that my nephew didn't disappoint my aunt, right?"

"Good boy! You can talk!" Li Yuechen praised, "Okay, I have nothing to do today, go back early, remember to watch the game tomorrow."

"Auntie, there is one thing I don't know about this nephew." Li Chongrun stopped her.

"What is unknown?"

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Isn't my aunt afraid that other countries will beat our country on the court?"

Li Yuechen nodded slightly, and then asked: "So what if they win?"

On the contrary, this question stopped Li Chongrun from asking, yes, so what if they win?
"You have to understand that the spectatorship of competitive sports itself has certain off-court factors, which are unavoidable." Li Yuechen said.

As a former athlete, Li Yuechen can be said to have ample say in this regard.

Just like Argentina and the United Kingdom back then, everyone knew that the United Kingdom would definitely not be able to beat the United Kingdom on the battlefield, so it would be better to crush them on the court.

Mexico can never be better than eagle sauce, so let it out on the court.

Uruguay, Costa Rica, Senegal... How many people would know the names of these countries if it weren't for the World Cup?

And Croatia, perhaps only during the World Cup can become the center of the world, right?

Of course, this is also the charm of football. Competitive sports provide a stage where a small country can also shine, allowing those small countries that are usually unknown to show their demeanor to their heart's content.

Competitive sports can never be completely irrelevant to politics, but winning or losing itself is not that important.

Perhaps the only thing that has nothing to do with politics is extreme sports...

"In short, you don't have to take winning or losing too seriously. For us, keeping the country strong is the primary goal. Don't get confused!"

"Yes, my nephew understands!" Li Chongrun nodded.

……

On the first day of June, after lunch, a large number of people left the city and entered the football field outside the city.

Tickets went on sale a few days ago, so you can go in after checking the tickets today.

After the excited people came to their seats and sat down, they began to discuss which country could finally win the championship this time.

This era has sufficient cultural self-confidence, and most people believe that Da Zhou will win in the end.

After a while, as a large number of court ladies appeared on the VIP stand and asked to stand up, the audience stood up one after another, saluting the figure that was slowly appearing in the sun.

Wu Zetian, who was dressed in a gorgeous crown, raised his arms and waved them, signaling that the audience should be excused. After sitting down, the rest of the audience followed suit.

At this time, a large number of musicians came to all directions of the stadium with various instruments such as pipa, drum and guzheng, and found their positions according to the rehearsal.

Under the curious eyes of the audience, a person also appeared in the middle of the field, holding two small flags, one red and one black, and waving his arms.

The next moment, a bright rhythm sounded from all parts of the stadium at the same time, and it immediately caught the attention of everyone on the scene.

Even Wu Zetian and Li Xian, who had listened to all kinds of music on weekdays, were slightly taken aback, and couldn't help turning their heads to look at Li Yuechen who was sitting next to their mother.

On the other hand, Li Yuechen smiled lightly, and raised his eyebrows at his mother and brothers.

The music surrounding the whole venue was played non-stop, and with the tight drum beats rising and falling, many people's legs couldn't help but began to shake.

In the midst of this music, football teams from other countries came out one after another and lined up to the center of the field.

They also had shocked expressions on their faces, and they couldn't help but look up at the auditorium around them.

Teams from each country wear uniform uniforms, which makes the stadium look colorful and beautiful.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

A series of fireworks rose and exploded in mid-air, blooming colorful flowers, announcing the opening of the first World Cup.
