The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 344 Bloody Polo
"His Royal Highness, the five surnames, seven clans and the Shandong family are really calm. The first polo match will start tomorrow, but they are still indifferent." Zou Fengchi said to Li Chengqian.

"It seems that they are planning to do both. After the polo match is announced tomorrow, they will start to run on the bank. Then it will be the real test." Li Chengqian said.

"Brother Prince, will you come to the polo match between King Liang and King Yan tomorrow?" Chang Sun Chong asked Li Chengqian.

"Of course I'm going, not only my palace, but also my father and queen mother. Only in this way can they feel at ease and bold to do it?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

……

Early the next morning, the Qianniuwei who were originally stationed at the Zhenguan Bank of the Tang Dynasty also withdrew to the polo arena.The entire polo arena was defended like an iron barrel.

Because today is not just an ordinary game, all the princes and ministers of the court are present.Even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came.

So the security work of this polo match has definitely been done to the extreme.I'm afraid not even a fly can fly in.

However, for the sake of openness, there is still a part of the area reserved for the common people.Of course, people need to buy tickets to enter the stadium, which makes the people less enthusiastic.

After all, for ordinary people, this polo match has absolutely no intersection.After all, it's something rich people can afford.

As Wang Fugui announced the entry of players from both sides, Yan Wang Li You and Liang Wang Li Yin each took their own teams to the end.

The two sides hugged each other on the horses, and they were ready to start this unique game.Why is it called a unique game?

Because Li Chengqian made some adjustments to the original rules of the polo game.Make it very different from the original.

Originally, in the Tang Dynasty, there was no regulated number of people in the polo match. As long as the number of participants on both sides is the same, the match can start.

However, Li Chengqian made a rule that the number of players must be ten per team.As for alternates, there are no rules.

Li Chengqian chose to ignore all the original rules.Instead, a new rule was proposed, that is, once the opponent is shot down, he must end the game.

If the opponent has new players on the bench, they can be added as soon as possible.If not, then you can only play more with less.

However, Li Chengqian also made a clear regulation, that is, if someone hurts maliciously.Seriously injuring or killing an opponent during a match will be treated as the crime of intentional wounding or homicide.

By doing this, Li Chengqian completely turned the polo into a passionate polo. Only in this way can it be more attractive.

Although Chiju (polo) was already very popular in Datang at that time.It can even be said to be the most admired sport among nobles.

However, there are many restrictions and rules in it, which greatly restricts the development of this bow.And Li Chengqian's purpose is to let him zoom in infinitely.

It can be said that Li Chengqian did not regard the polo game as a sport, but a display of strength.At the same time, Li Chengqian is promoting another kind of sport, that is Cuju (football).

Li Chengqian felt that football was definitely more suitable than polo for ordinary people.So Li Chengqian wants to turn polo into a passionate competition, and football will become a national sport.

With the roar of the drums, the two teams of King Liang and King Yan started this brand new game.

Not only did the two team members not have helmets and crown armor, but they were also dressed very coolly.This makes it easier for them to play.

At the same time, you must avoid being shot down by your opponent, otherwise you really have no chance.After all, the rules are so cruel.

As the ball was hit by the Yanwang team, the real battle between dragons and tigers began.At the beginning, everyone was still fighting for the polo, hoping to hit it into the opponent's goal.

It's a pity that after fighting for a long time, they didn't score a single one.At this time, the two teams suddenly changed their strategies at the same time.

Separate two people at the same time and start attacking other players.All of a sudden, those who are on the court grab the ball and those who are looking for someone are looking for someone.It can be regarded as very lively.

……

"What kind of competition is this played by Gao Ming? He turned a good bow into a fight. Isn't this nonsense?" Empress Dang Sun shook her head and said to Li Shimin.

"I think it's very passionate. Didn't you see how hot the atmosphere was?" Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun with a smile.

"In today's peaceful and prosperous age, you still like to fight and kill. I really don't know what you think." Empress Changsun said after sighing.

"Empress Mother, elder brother said that the guard cannot be relaxed at any time. A country must have a strong army to protect the country's safety." Li Zhi said to Empress Changsun with a serious face.

"You're right, isn't the benevolence of mothers and empresses not enough?" Empress Changsun said to Li Zhi with a smile.

"Queen, they have all been taught badly by elder brother. If you spoil them like this again, sooner or later they will poke a hole in the sky." Li Lizhi said after glaring at Li Zhi.

"Miss Huang, are you jealous? I'm jealous that big brother doesn't take you to play with me. Big brother said that it's not good for girls to be with boys." Li Zhi said to Li Lizhi seriously.

I made Li Li so angry that I stretched out my hand to grab Li Zhi's ear.But what Li Lizhi didn't expect was that even though he was close at hand, he was actually empty-handed.

But at this time Li Zhi stood aside, smiled and said to Li Lizhi: "Brother is right, an angry woman is a tigress."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards Li Chengqian.He didn't want to be caught by his sister, otherwise it would be really miserable.

Seeing Li Zhi who fled away, Li Lizhi said angrily to Empress Changsun: "Mother, look at the little old nine is not good."

"You just pull people's ears when you have nothing to do. Now that people have the ability, you can't catch them anymore. You also said that people are not good. You are really good as a sister." Empress Changsun shook her helplessly, and pushed her with her fingers. Li Lizhi's head said.

"Your mother is right. Your imperial brother gave you the Jade Heart Sutra. You must practice it more frequently. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be pulled by the ears of the little old nine. Then you can cry." Li Shimin smiled at Li Shimin. Li Zhi said.

"I don't want to lead the army to kill the enemy like my aunt, so what's the point of practicing that troublesome thing?" Li Lizhi muttered to herself while bowing her head.

"You want to be an aunt, but it's a pity you're not that kind of material." Li Chengqian pulled Li Zhi over and said to Li Lizhi with a smile.
