Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Polo has actually only been around for a short time.  And the reason it became popular was because Li Shimin and his court encouraged the sport.  Why is this so?  As we all know, the grassland nomads have always been the biggest enemies of the Han people.  In the early Tang Dynasty, the Turks were the most harmful.

    Thinking back on the beginning, the Weishui Alliance and the White Horse Agreement were extremely thrilling.  The popularity of polo began shortly after this, with the purpose of fighting against the Turks.  The Turks had many cavalry, so they had an advantage in the war.  If you want to compete with them, you must have cavalry, otherwise you will only be beaten passively.

    And coincidentally, the sport of polo has extremely high requirements for riding skills, and it can be an extremely effective way to practice riding skills.  A polo master must also be a riding master.  With good riding skills and war horses, naturally, you can have a powerful cavalry.

    The emperor and the court encouraged polo, and besides, it was a lot of fun.  Therefore, in this era when entertainment was very scarce, polo quickly became popular.  However, since this sport is expensive, it cannot be promoted among ordinary people, which is really a pity.

    Not far after Li Feng and Li Chengqian walked into Qujiang Garden, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from inside, as well as people's exclamations and cheers. Of course, occasionally, there were also some angry, complaining and regretful sounds.  Voices.  Needless to say, Li Feng and the others arrived late, and the show had already begun.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s quite lively.¡±

    Not far away, the lively anger became more intense.  Li Feng took a look and saw that there were quite a few people in the venue.  Moreover, there is not just one polo field here, but many.  Now, there are not only two teams competing in the venue.  Instead, there are several teams, one-on-one, competing fiercely in several venues.

    And around the stadium, there are also many people.  However, they are basically all young people, both male and female, and it is really lively.

    "This is nothing, these are just games they hold privately. If we wait until the polo match held by the court begins, the scene will be spectacular. By then, princes and nobles from all over the country will bring their polo teams  , all come to Beijing to participate in the competition, and at that time, Qujiang Pool will also be open to the people. There will be a huge crowd of people, and the emperor will personally award awards to the teams with outstanding results"

    Li Chengqian rarely got the opportunity to show off something to Li Feng, so when he saw Li Feng's surprised expression, he started talking non-stop.  I started explaining and describing it with Li Feng.

    After listening, Li Feng realized why there were several polo teams competing in the field.  The so-called, there is something better.  It's effective.  Since the emperor tried his best to promote this sport, and none of the dignitaries in the court were short of money.  As a result, many private polo teams appeared.

    And with the emergence of so many polo teams.  Of course competitions have become a regular occurrence.  And with the competition, something else will definitely appear.  That's gambling.  As a result, coupled with the polo competition held by the imperial court every year, it stimulated the vigorous development of this sport.

    By this time, whether there is a polo team at home will gradually involve face, status, and many other things.  It can be said that as long as there is that ability, every household of these princes and nobles has a polo team like this.

    "Haha, this is really impressive. Well, by the way, when will the polo match held by the imperial court be held? Then, I want to bring your fourth aunt and the others to see the excitement."

    Li Feng could quickly understand what Li Chengqian said.  Li Shimin, the emperor, highly praised it, so there was nothing surprising about such an effect.  However, now he wants to know when the competition will take place.  At that time, I can take Rou Niang, Yaya and the others out to watch the fun.

    "Haha, I'm really impressed by you, Fourth Uncle. Why do you think of taking Fourth Aunt and the others out to play when you talk about this? Don't you have any other ideas, Fourth Uncle? For example, you can also build a polo team.  The team comes to have some fun or something.¡±

    After hearing Li Feng¡¯s question, Li Chengqian was completely convinced.  He found more and more that his fourth uncle was different.

    "Build a polo team? You think I'm just trying to support you when I'm full. Why should I build a polo team when I have nothing to do Well, your proposal seems very good. After we return to the village, we will also build a polo team.  A polo team and a polo field. This way, it would be nice to have one more entertainment activity for everyone in their free time. Yes, let¡¯s do it. You can prepare a hundred and eighty horses for me when I leave.  Horse, I want to take it back¡±

    Li Feng objected for a while at first, but then he immediately felt that this was a good idea.  Think about it, in the village, build a few polo fields, and everyone is idlePlay polo for work, have fun and keep fit.

    "One hundred and eighty good horses? Fourth uncle, how many teams are you going to build? Do you need so many horses? Besides, where do you ask me to find so many good horses? I don't have four."  Uncle, you are so rich"

    "You're stupid, you don't know how to ask your father for it. Well, the reason is, didn't I get tens of thousands of horses on the battlefield last time? We have made a contribution no matter what. How much do you want?  Horses are cheap. As for why we need so many horses, isn¡¯t it because we are going to plant cotton next year?¡±

    ¡­¡­

    After listening to Li Feng¡¯s words, Li Chengqian was completely speechless.  However, since Li Feng had said so, he could only do it.  However, soon, he began to laugh secretly in his heart.  Because he could already predict what his father would look like when he heard his fourth uncle's reasons.

    Afterwards, the two people discussed building the polo team while watching the game.  Since the legislation did not want to cause sleep trouble, he and Li Chengqian were located behind the crowd, next to a somewhat secluded big tree.  Or maybe it was because the game was so attractive. In short, they had been here for a long time, but no one noticed their arrival.

    "Fourth uncle, this doesn't look good. How about we go forward?"

    Watching the game so secretly made Li Chengqian feel a little unsatisfied.  If you want to see it, look at it from a close distance, otherwise it won¡¯t be exciting.  Therefore, after watching it for a while, he whispered to Li Feng.

    "Forget it, I'll just keep an eye on it here. If you want to go to the front, go there by yourself and don't worry about me."

    As soon as Li Chengqian invited him to come forward, Li Feng shook his head and said.  What a joke.  He ran to the front, still with the prince Li Chengqian. Li Feng didn't have the hobby of being treated like a monkey by others.

    "Okay, uncle Fourth, just stay here and watch slowly, I can get closer."

    What kind of temperament does Li Feng have?  Li Chengqian knew that clearly, so after hearing what Li Feng said, he immediately stood up, ignored Li Feng, and walked directly forward.

    "Well, after we go back, I'll ask Master Qi to discuss the polo team. Then the village will have more fun. Maybe we should also start football. This can be done directly from the school, or  Add a class to a small one like that and take a physical education class.¡±

    "Physical education class, this only has football, isn't it a bit too monotonous? You have to think carefully when you go back. Are there any other suitable sports activities that can be achieved? Want to do it. Let's make it more exciting, for such a small child  Have fun and avoid becoming a nerd by sitting around every day"

    Li Chengqian¡¯s departure made Li Feng sit here and become even quieter.  Although Li Feng was staring at the polo player, he was thinking about other things.  Today's trip gave him a lot of inspiration.  The most important thing is to think of opening a physical education class when I go back.

    As soon as such a thought appeared, Li Feng's memories immediately surged out.  Then, I began to search through my past memories, and then began to think about the feasibility of this.  Perhaps Li Feng was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when someone walked up to him.

    "Woooo"

    It wasn¡¯t until a cry that seemed very aggrieved came from beside him that Li Feng came back to his senses.  Turning his head, he saw a familiar face, full of grievances and pear blossoms, suddenly appeared in front of Li Feng's eyes.  And soon, Li Feng remembered who the person in front of him was.

    ¡°Miss Wu Zhao, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

    Afterwards, Li Feng asked with surprise and curiosity.  Yes, this person is Wu Zhao, the famous Wu Zetian in history, whom we had a close relationship with.

    In other words, after Wu Zhao accidentally met Li Feng and the others on West Market Street that day, her life and that of their family began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

    Since it was someone from the Prince's Mansion who came forward in person, everything became simpler.  The Wu Yuanqing brothers obediently gave them part of their property.  Then, he went to their door in person, stood under a bush and apologized, and begged for their forgiveness.  Finally, even the son of Changsun's family was brought to the house by his father to accompany Wu Zhao.  It goes without saying that his attitude is sincere and his posture is so low.

    Not only that, in the following days, Wu Zhao felt that their home suddenly became lively.  The so-called relatives and friends who had not been in contact with each other for a long time came to visit one after another with gifts, and often invited their family as guests.  And Wu Zhao suddenly became very popular here.

    In the past, when these young gentlemen and young ladies had any activities, they would basically not think of her.Come.  However, since that incident, she has become a little busy.  Either she was invited to a banquet today, or she was invited to a poetry gathering tomorrow, etc.

    It can be said that in an instant, the life of the Wu family has undergone earth-shaking changes.  Not only did she have enough food and clothing, but she also had the so-called face. It was even more prosperous than before her father passed away.

    For this wonderful life that was lost and found, Wu Zhao¡¯s mother and sister were suddenly filled with joy and happiness.  And whenever he talks about the prince, he has an expression of gratitude.

    However, facing such a change, Wu Zhao suddenly felt very aggrieved for some reason. Even worse than before, when her father passed away and they were kicked out. In order to make a living, she had to sell paintings on the street and feel aggrieved.  .  She knew that the reason for such a change was because of the prince's intervention, because of the prince's words, or more precisely, because of power and status.

    However, she could only keep this feeling of depression in her heart, and then she kept thinking about her own worries

    Today, she was also invited to this feast.  However, what happened today made the frustration and unwillingness in her heart reach its limit.  In the end, she could only force a smile, endure it, and then hide away, looking for a place where no one was around to cry.

    However, she didn¡¯t expect that she would meet Li Feng here.
