Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Time passed quickly, and it was November [-]th in a blink of an eye, and there were only two days left before the competition.And Li Ke has also become increasingly busy as the game is approaching.At this moment, he was discussing the competition with Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Xu Jingzong, Su Dingfang and Chen Qi in the Liangyi Hall.

I heard Li Ke ask: "Bin Wang and Zheng Zheng, have you done a good job in the training of your personnel, is it in place?"

Ma Zhoudao: "The training went very smoothly. Many of them have obtained the qualifications of junior referees, and they are qualified to referee the Chang'an City Competition. As for the coaches, because they involve a lot of knowledge, there is no one yet. One person can obtain the junior coach qualification."

Li Ke was very happy and excited when he heard that the referees were in place. Finally, he saw a group of immeasurable forces in the future development of Cuju, and they were already developing continuously.

However, he asked again: "Are the venue and surrounding arrangements in order?"

Liu Rengui: "The venues are set up in four squares, each of which temporarily sets up a venue. The seat setting is relatively simple due to time constraints. In addition to the VIP area set up on the high platform, there are also some luxury areas."

Li Ke sighed and said: "There is no way to do this. The plan of the arena is being designed, and it can only be arranged in this way before the arena is built."

Liu Rengui asked again: "The VIP area has already started to collect tickets in the form of practice games. I wonder if the luxury area will also charge fees?"

Xu Jingzong didn't quite understand what Liu Rengui said about charging fees, but Ma Zhou, Su Dingfang and others understood that during the Chang'an rehearsal match, they were afraid of causing confusion because many people robbed the VIP area, so Li Ke stipulated that a small fee should be charged. cost.That's why Liu Rengui asked this question.

"The Chang'an city competition is not small in terms of its current scale. If there is no fee, will it cause riots because of looting seats?" Li Ke knew that Su Dingfang had the right to speak on this issue, so he turned to him and asked.

Upon hearing the question, Su Dingfang said affirmatively, "His Royal Highness, Cuju is already known in Chang'an, and everyone must learn it. If such a competition is held and there are free seats available, looting will definitely occur. However, Don't worry, Your Highness, the chaos will definitely be prevented in the end."

"Well." After thinking for a long time, Li Ke said: "Regular, then charge a certain fee, but this part of the money collected will go to the Cuju Division and be managed by you, except for the referee and the relevant personnel of the game. "Li Ke doesn't want Yushitai to impeach him for using power for personal gain and using the game to benefit himself because of this reason.As for the tickets in the future, he can borrow money for the construction of the arena at that time, which can be justified.

When Xu Jingzong saw that the two had finished speaking, he said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, it is estimated that there are more than [-] large and small Cuju teams in Chang'an City. The teams participating in the Chang'an competition have selected sixteen teams through the competition according to regulations. They are Dongcheng: Dinghan Team, Dongyue Team of Qin Mansion, Qinghe Cui's Dongxiang Team, Langya Wang's Lantian Team and Yan's Whirlwind Team. West City: Weiwang Litai's Hongtai Team, Chu King Liyou's Xinrong Team, Lanya The Huaxuan team of the Ling Xiao family, the Panshan team of the Li family in Longxi, the Feilu team of the Lu family, and the Golden Mastiff team of the Zheng family. The Imperial City team: the Taigan team of Prince Li Chengqian, the Thousand Bull Guards (the personal guard formed by Li Shimin), Left and right guards (military representative team), Li Tang clan team (formed by Li Xiaogong), Chang'an government team (formed by Jing Zhaoyin)”

After listening to Xu Jingzong's answer, Li Ke was shocked. The team in Chang'an this time is quite spectacular. Except for the teams of their four brothers and Qin Huaiyu's team, half of them were teams formed by the spokespersons of various noble clans in Chang'an. .There are also Jing Zhaoyin and Li Tang clan team that he did not expect.But what is even more surprising is how even the sixteen guards of Datang jointly formed a team to participate in the competition?In addition, Li Shimin's personal guard, Qian Niuwei, also formed a Cuju team, which shows that Li Shimin attaches great importance to the game.This made Li Ke feel the pressure.In such a large-scale competition, if something goes wrong, he doesn't know how to explain it to Li Shimin.And Li Tai, Li Chengqian and others will not turn a blind eye to this competition, they will definitely cause some troubles from it, and the most troublesome thing for him is the actions of the black hand.

There is another person he is most wary of, and he is Changsun Wuji.He has never been able to guess this person, and he has also taken the time to ask Cen Wenwen in the past few days. Cen Wenwen has not been in contact with Changsun Wuji for a long time, but he still advises Li Ke not to underestimate his ability, saying that Changsun Wuji is best at killing people with a knife , take advantage of strength.And he also knew that after the game, Changsun Wuji suggested Li Chengqian to write a letter to Li Shimin to worship Li Jiancheng. This made Li Shimin, who killed his brother and seized the throne in the Xuanwumen coup, feel a lot of comfort in his heart.Therefore, he agreed to his request and appointed Changsun Wuji to accompany him.Yingwei followed Changsun Wuji and his party all the way, except that Changsun Wuji took a few announcements about the promotional competition before leaving Chang'an, there was nothing suspicious, which made Li Ke very passive and felt the crisis even more.

Li You, on the other hand, secretly ordered the housekeeper to buy some hooligans in Chang'an City, hoping that they would cause trouble during the competition. Chen Qi's Eagle Guards had already spotted him, and Li You would definitely be disappointed during the competition.But Li Tai's actions were even more deceitful, secretly inciting some scholars to talk about the new Cuju, saying that a large group of people running around on the court is not elegant.Regarding Li Tai's actions, Li Ke did nothing, because Li Shimin's visit to the team was enough to clear up all the rumors.

Seeing that Li Ke was lost in thought, everyone couldn't interrupt him. At this moment, Yang En came back to report: "Your Highness, Captain Dugu is asking to see you."

When Li Ke was called out by Yang En, he came back to his senses and said, "Please."

Yang En said: "No!"

After Dugu Mou walked into the Hall of Liangyi and saluted Li Ke, he said, "His Highness, Dugu Mou was ordered to come to assist His Highness in holding the Chang'an Competition safely."

Li Ke said: "Sit down and talk."

After Dugu Mou sat down, Li Ke asked, "I don't know what Captain Dugu thinks about the safety and security of Chang'an City Race?"

Dugu Mou said: "The last general will follow His Highness's orders." He followed the style of a soldier and chose to obey in front of his superiors instead of making suggestions.

Li Ke knew that he and Dugu Mou were not close. Although he had contact with the practice game, but it was not long and he was unfamiliar with him. Therefore, it was inconvenient to force him.He said: "Then Captain Lao Dugu, Dingfang and Chang'an guards will work together to maintain order in the venue."

Dugu Mou and Su Dingfang cupped their hands at the same time and said: "The last general takes orders."

After everyone left, Li Ke asked Chen Qidao, "What happened these few days?"

"Because of the holding of the Chang'an city competition, gentry from many places came to the capital to watch the competition. Therefore, there has been a lot of personnel turnover in the past few days, but there has been no change between the teams and the ministers of the court and China." Chen Qi said here, hesitantly: "As for King Chu's conspiracy, the general has already made arrangements, and absolutely will not let such troublesome incidents happen on the field of the game."

"Well, that's good." Li Ke said: "Closely stick to the teams that have already qualified for the Chang'an competition, and prevent some people from trying to sneak into the team, waiting for an opportunity to disrupt the game, and doing any unfavorable actions. You put all the teams that are qualified to participate in Chang'an Let me check all the suspicious people in Sai's team, and don't let any one go."

Chen Qidao: "The general will follow orders."

"What else?" Li Ke asked.

"There is also the exception of Changsun Wuji." Chen Qi replied cautiously: "Gao Shilian, Changsun Shunde, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs Tang Lian and others have no suspicious figures in their residences."

"You arranged this?" Li Ke asked sternly.

Chen Qi hurriedly knelt down and said, "It was arranged by the last general without authorization. Please punish the crime, Your Highness."

Li Ke said: "Do you think this king dare not punish you?"

Chen Qi pleaded: "Before His Highness punishes the minister for his crimes, can His Highness agree to one condition?"

"Say!" Li Ke said.

Chen Qidao: "The general implores Your Highness to ask the general to thoroughly investigate the entire competition in Chang'an, and then His Highness will issue the order."

Li Ke was originally trying to test Chen Qi, but now seeing what Chen Qi said, he was moved in his heart, helped him up and said earnestly: "Chen Qi, it is the king who owes you, you are the king. If you are in the army After some practice, you will definitely become a marquis and general. However, with this king, you can only be a bodyguard, and you have to worry about other people's calculations all day long. It is this king who has delayed your future."

Chen Qidao: "The Chang'an City Race has a great relationship with His Highness, and the general dare not be careless in the end. Chen Qi is an unknown person, and he is deeply grateful for His Highness's kindness. In this life, he does not want him to think about it. He only hopes to be by His Highness's side. Your Highness, don't say that again. It is the most honorable thing for Chen Qi to serve His Highness."

Li Ke suddenly said: "Chen Qi, I know what you think in your heart, you can do your thing with peace of mind, don't worry about things happening. I'll take care of what happens, you know?"

"The general obeys orders!" Chen Qi said.

After Chen Qi left, Li Ke fell into deep thought. There was no problem with Chen Qi's loyalty, that's why he entrusted him with such great power.Li Ke is also very sure of Chen Qi's ability, so he also trusts Chen Qi.It's just that, if Li Shimin finds out about setting up a secret service system and monitoring the ministers in the court, it may not be replaced by punishment like foot restraint!However, you still have to be careful and try to avoid any problems.

If you choose the path of fighting for storage, you can't turn back.Moreover, his recent series of actions have also attracted the attention and vigilance of Li Chengqian, Li Tai and even Li You, including Changsun Wuji.Therefore, he can no longer do nothing, and the establishment of the Eagle Guard's spy system is imperative.If he didn't take any action at this time, he would have been snapped by these people before he was ready to fight for the reserves.
