Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Coming out of Cen's Mansion, it was already dusk on the streets of Chang'an City, and there were few pedestrians. Li Ke sat in the car thinking about Cen Wenwen's three suggestions for himself, and made a decision in his heart.He lifted the curtain of the car, and saw Chen Qi on a tall horse with a serious expression, looking around vigilantly, thinking of Cen Wenwen's evaluation of Chen Qi: "He has a firm mind, a prudent approach, and a natural guard." Can't help remembering. Qi Qi told Chen Qi that he wanted to find a weapon for him, and wondered if there was one in the Armor Warehouse, and if not, he should make one out of good steel, so he couldn't treat such a loyal subordinate badly.

In the Tang Dynasty, the most famous one was Tang Dao.As a peak in the development of Chinese cold weapons, Tang Dao not only accompanied the establishment, prosperity, and joys and sorrows of the Tang Empire, but also successfully affected the entire Asian cold weapon culture. The knife developed into the later Saber, the Yi knife spread eastward to Korea and Japan, and evolved into a cold weapon of the nation, and became the ancestor of the Tibetan knife in the southwest, and the Mo knife became the Song Lost knife in the later evolution. Several kinds of long knives have been handed down for later generations. The birth and development of the Tang knife witnessed the most powerful empire in Chinese history. The Tang knife is the most brilliant and brilliant in the cold weapon culture. This article only recalls that great history .

Therefore, Li Ke was thinking, should he cast a Tang sword for Chen Qi?Should the Tang knife be developed in advance at this time?At that time, each of his Eagle Guards will have a Tang knife, and their combat effectiveness will definitely increase by a notch.

Thinking this way, the carriage returned to Hanwang Mansion, Li Ke got off the car, and after arriving at the Juyi Hall, he asked Chen Qi to leave. Under the leadership of Yang En, he called the six people Chen Qi had selected in the afternoon to the Juyi Hall, and then He and Yang En brought six people to Liu Wen's Tianxiang Pavilion in the backyard.

Liu Wen seemed to know that Li Ke was coming tonight, and when he and Yang En came to Tianxiang Pavilion, he had been waiting for a long time.After Li Ke saluted him, he cupped his hands in return, and said to Yang En who was behind Li Ke: "Crazy Yang, Your Highness's safety is entrusted to you."

Yang En didn't care what Liu Wen called him: "Old Taoist Liu, don't worry, I can still keep His Highness safe without you." After finishing speaking, ignore him.

Li Ke just wanted to ask Liu Wen what the relationship between the two was, why Liu Wen would call Yang En "Crazy Yang", and Yang En would call Liu Wen "Liu Laodao", but Liu Wen snatched him in advance: "The old slave knows that His Highness will have questions, but I don’t want to tell His Highness for the time being, but when the time comes, the old slave will definitely tell His Highness the truth, and if I forget His Highness, don’t ask Yang En again, and don’t have to mention it to others.”

Li Ke became more and more curious, but he knew Liu Wen's character. He said so, but he didn't tell him, so he could only respectfully say: "Ke, promise master."

Li Ke nodded helplessly. Seeing Li Ke agreeing, Liu Wen looked at the six people behind him regardless of whether he was happy or not, and said, "These are the six people you chose?"

Li Ke said: "These six people are the most outstanding among the 500 people. What do you think, Master?"

Liu Wen said calmly: "The aptitude is average, but it is enough." After speaking, he looked at the six people carefully.

Li Ke understood Liu Wen's character, he didn't speak much, but he carried weight.So he went back to the study with Yang En. On the way, Li Ke kept wanting to ask Yang En about him and Liu Wen, but in the end he refrained from asking.Yang En also surprisingly did not speak, but followed Li Ke silently.

Walking into the study, Li Ke said to Yang En: "Old Yang, tomorrow I will learn marksmanship from you!"

Yang Endao: "Not only marksmanship, but also horseback riding and archery skills will also be handed over to His Highness."

Li Ke was very happy when he heard this, and after telling Yang En to leave, he began to think about Liu Wenwen and Yang En in the study, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up, spread out the paper, and began to draw on the paper.He wants to personally design the clothing logos of the Eagle Guard and the Wolf Guard, so that the two guards have their own characteristics and souls.

After a while, the two pictures have been drawn. The logo of the black-clothed eagle guard is the head of a ferocious goshawk, and the logo of the black-clothed wolf guard is the head of a ferocious wolf. Looking at the two sketches, Li Ke is very satisfied.

Then, he continued to write vigorously, drawing while writing on the paper.Since Cen Wenwen analyzed the conspiracy behind his assassination last time, he began to think about how to lure these black hands out.And he has been so ostentatious these days, the person behind the scenes must not be ignorant, so what he needs now is to do one thing, something that can attract his attention enough.And this incident is the funeral football that Li Ke thought of through the most popular polo in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke still knows something about polo.Once upon a time, polo, as a very challenging competitive sport, was loved by the ancient gentry and the army. Starting from Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, polo was quickly popularized in all major military states across the country to practice cavalry horsemanship and hacking skills. .Due to the emperor's admiration, playing polo soon became popular among the people.

In Fuzhou during the Tang Dynasty, due to its opening up and exchanges with the outside world, polo gradually spread to all parts of the world. Until 1908, polo was listed as an official Olympic event for the first time, and then the Olympic Games in 1920, 1924 and 1936 were held as scheduled. A polo match was held.However, Li Ke also knows that polo has high demands on horses.Therefore, although it is very popular among the people, its development is not very fast and it is not mature enough.

According to records, in the middle and early Tang Dynasty, polo was popular among the ruling class, and the people could only imitate playing donkey ball because of the limitation of horses. There were famous donkey teams in Laizhou and Yuncheng, Shandong. There was a shortage of horses in the country, and the nobles had to use their legs to play Cuju like the lower-level traffickers and pawns.

Cuju existed in the Tang Dynasty, and it is said in "Literature Tongkao": Cuqiugai began in Tang Dynasty.Plant two pruning bamboos, several feet high, netting on the top as the gate, use the speed of the ball, divide the players between the left and the right, and win or lose by the corner, isn't it the change of Cuju?What we are talking about here is the Cuju kicking method of single goal. .This single-goal style of play has continued until the Song Dynasty was complete, and there are specific descriptions in many documents of the Song Dynasty.

According to those descriptions, we can roughly understand the gameplay in the Tang Dynasty by speculating forward.The two sides of the game are equal in number, each led by a ball head, and stand across the net.During the game, both sides have to kick the ball to the other side through the goal on the net.Of course, before kicking, there must be cooperation and switching between the partners. There are also certain rules in the middle, and you can't kick indiscriminately. The final kick to the goal must be done by the ball head.

This is also the most important kick, just like the finishing kick on the football field today.This kick must be kicked high and accurately, allowing the ball to pass through the high goal.Therefore, compared with some modern sports that compete across the net, such as volleyball, sepak takraw, etc., single-goal cuju is much more difficult.

Because of the important responsibilities, the ball head naturally became the soul of the team, just like the stars on the sports field today.The goal is placed in the center of the court, and the two sides face each other across the net. There is no direct physical confrontation, and the competition is about their respective skills and the synergy between their partners.Compared with the previous two-goal game, the fun is increased, but the intensity and confrontation are greatly reduced.

Thinking of football stars, Li Ke couldn't help thinking of the five major European leagues in later generations. Although playing polo is a status symbol and a game among nobles, football is a real folk entertainment, and it is worthy of his promotion. Developed into a national movement.Therefore, he wants to compile a booklet about football venues, forms, rules, etc. as soon as possible, so that everyone can be familiar with it, and then drive the entire Tang Dynasty to start such a movement.

This is not difficult for Li Ke. In his previous life, Li Ke was a super football fan. He knew football by heart, so after a while, he wrote a booklet about Datang Modern Cuju. Looking at the booklet, Li Ke Ke couldn't restrain his excitement in his heart. Being able to promote football in Datang more than 1000 years in advance is also a great achievement for future generations.Seeing that it was getting late, Li Ke began to meditate with luck to keep his physical strength in a better state, so that he could learn marksmanship with Yang En in the morning.

The next day, Li Ke started the busiest day of his life. In the morning, he practiced swordsmanship first, and then Yang En learned marksmanship.In the morning, I will learn painting from Dong Boren, calligraphy from Chu Suiliang, and practice bow and horse salvo in the school yard in the afternoon.It wasn't until evening that Li Ke had time to do his own things. He could choose to discuss the formation of troops with Su Dingfang, or he could choose to discuss the collection of classics and history with Ma Zhou; busy.

With such an arrangement, Li Ke felt that he had almost no free time a day, but he still took the time to go to the supervisor and asked the supervisor to make ten footballs for him.The prisoner will be one of the nine prisons in the five temples of the Tang Dynasty. The senior prisoner will be one of the three ranks;He is in charge of civil engineering and craftsmen, and is in charge of the left school, right school, lieutenant colonel, Zhenguan and other departments, and the supervisor of Baigong.The young supervisor Su Zhi received him. He knew what he was doing when he saw the blueprint in Li Ke's hand.

Because Cuju already existed in Tang Dynasty, so he was no stranger to the football Li Ke requested.After fully agreeing and telling him that he would deliver the things he wanted to the mansion in five days, Li Ke left satisfied.
