Chapter 195: Tubo's First Gold Medal
Tough! Calm! Wisdom...
Almost the same as I saw outside the city last time, Li Yan saw many of the other party's advantages in the eyes of the Songzan cadre, but only the most important ambition was missing. It seems that the other party had already entered Chang'an.
He wisely buried his ambitions. After all, what he had to face was Li Shimin, a emperor who had been eternal, and exposing too many ambitions would not benefit them in Tubo at all.
Songtsen Gampo was also looking at Li Yan up and down. He had a very good memory. The last time he was a chance to see outside the city, he had a deep impression of Li Yan and Li Ke. During the game just now, he
I already knew Li Ke’s identity, so I guessed seven or eight points about Li Yan’s true identity.
Li Yan looked at Songzan Gampo several times with his scrutiny eyes, and finally showed a hypocritical smile, and turned around and left without saying anything. However, when he left, he was beside Songzan Gampo.
I found an acquaintance, Lu Dongzan, who was beaten into a pig's head two years ago. He was sentenced to two years in prison for insulting the princess of the Tang Dynasty. It had not expired, but Songzan Gampo visited.
He also personally apologized to Li Shimin, so he was extremely kind and released Lu Dongzan.
Seeing Li Yan turn and leave, Songzan Gampo then turned his head and asked Lu Dongzan, "Great Present, the young man just now should be the famous King of Qi, right?"
"You are the king of Qi, and he took the lead back then, triggering the battle between Songzhou and the Tang Dynasty!" Lu Dongzan looked at Li Yan's back as he left, and his eyes were also revealed.
A hint of hatred. He was imprisoned by the Tang Dynasty for two years, and his family's power in Tubo was greatly hit. Although he is still a great minister of Tubo, his power in his hands is much worse than before.
"Hmph! Do you still have the face to mention that?" Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but feel a little angry when he thought of the war that caused Tubo to suffer huge losses. That war not only caused more than half of the 200,000 Tubo army.
There has been a huge turmoil in the country. It has not completely subsided until now, otherwise he would not have heard that the Tang Dynasty was immediately expelled from the Tang Dynasty and pretended to be a grandson after it was launched against Gaochang. The most fundamental reason for all this is that Lu Dongzan Yu
Caused by lax discipline.
Seeing the king's furious, Lu Dongzan felt very aggrieved while panic. The guy who caused trouble at the beginning was not his follower, but the official sent by Songtsen Gampo, and it had nothing to do with him.
Unfortunately, the unlucky guy was beaten seriously injured on the spot and died in the end. Now he can't find someone to take the blame.
The awards were immediately presented after the competition. When Li Yan found the young man who won the championship, he found that he was surrounded by a group of gentlemen from the newspaper office, and was sweating profusely answering the various tricky questions they asked.
"Brother Zhou. After you win the championship this time, you can get a huge sum of 400 yuan. What do you want to do most after you get the money?" A gentleman wearing a work clothes in an industrial and commercial newspaper squeezed away his colleagues around him and took the lead.
He asked.
"I...I want to use this money to treat my mother's illness and marry her wife again!" The young man in blue, known as Brother Zhou, looked honest and honest. He knew at a glance that he was the kind of honest and reliable person, and his answer
It also echoes his appearance.
"Okay! After getting the funds, I first treat my mother, then marry a wife and have children, and pass on the family line for the family. It turns out that he is the most filial person!" The newspaperman who asked the question responded very quickly. He lowered his head to record and praised loudly.
However, Li Yan next to him felt that the other party was a bit nonsense. He was indeed filial to treat his mother's illness, but it was a bit over the filial piety to marry a wife, right? But he also knew that all journalists were like this.
There is a problem that no matter what is not, as long as they need it, they can bring this matter to the goal they need to achieve.
"Brother Zhou, what did you do before? Why did you ride a bicycle so fast?" asked another gentleman from Datang Daily. Compared with the gentlemen from other newspapers, the questions asked by Datang Daily are relatively reliable.
"I am a postman at Chengdong Post Station. Since a year ago, I have been riding a bicycle distributed by the court every day to deliver letters. I have not stopped for a whole year, so I am used to it!" When I mentioned this, this young man Zhou was a little confused.
He touched his head with a silly smile and said.
So that's it! When people around him heard this, they immediately showed a sudden enlightenment. No wonder they rode so fast, it turned out that they had been riding for a whole year. Of course, this young man Zhou must also have this talent, otherwise Chang'an
There are so many postmen around, why are only people able to win the championship?
Li Yan was also very surprised after hearing this. With the development of industry and commerce, the ancient government agency of the Post Station has added many new functions. For example, because of the smooth roads and the increasing number of people going out to do business, the exchange of letters has begun.
It became more frequent, so the communication function of the post station itself began to be enhanced. For example, the post guards in Chang'an began to equip horses. However, it was discovered that the cost of raising horses was too high, so it was changed to a bicycle. Unexpectedly, a bicycle champion was cultivated.
, This world is so wonderful!
After the newspaper interview was almost done, the staff of the Winter Games pulled the young man Zhou away, and then held the first award ceremony of the Winter Games with Songtsen Gampo and Li Jingye, but the identity of these three people is still there.
Different, a king of state stood in the runner-up position, lower than postman Zhou. Li Jingye, as the grandson of the Duke of the Kingdom and the heir to the Duke of Wei, stood in the third position and had the lowest origins.
Brother Zhou stood at the highest champion position in the middle with an uneasy look on his face, obviously full of awe for the two big names around him.
Li Yan looked at the scene in front of him, but he had a strange idea in his heart, because this may be the first time in China's feudal society for more than two thousand years, breaking the difference in identity and status, and truly ranking according to his own abilities.
Although none of the three on the stage realized this, I believe that after many years, the consciousness of equality and freedom began to awaken, and someone would definitely appreciate the scene in front of him.
Li Yan personally awarded medals to the three of them. These medals were all very good and genuine, and they were all hand-made by experts from Chang'an. Each one was not low in cost, and it contained it.
Its meaning is also called the most valuable medal in the history of the Tang Dynasty Sports Games.
After the cycling race is held, the next few games will be held at the same time, including track and field sports, including several long and short running, as well as high jump, long jump, shot put and other events. These are all brought by Li Yan according to the sports events of later generations.
, For the Tang people, it was too novel, so only some people near Chang'an got the news early and started practicing, so the number of people participating was not large, and the competition was also carried out relatively quickly.
However, in these competitions, an unpopularity suddenly broke out, that is, a Tubo person participated in the sprint event. At that time, Li Yan saw that the Tubo person was short and thin, so he didn't care much. As a result, the competition was just beginning.
This guy was like a cheetah, throwing other players out of nowhere, while the Tubo people watching the game were cheering loudly. According to Li Yan's estimate, this guy can definitely run ten seconds after running a hundred meters.
Inside.
With such a strong man participating in the competition, the champion will naturally be won by the Tubo people without any suspense, and won a championship on the first day, which greatly increased the aura of the Tubo people. After all, as long as they win three championships, they will be in harmony with the Tang Dynasty.
Half the success.
However, Li Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because he was not prepared enough, the sprint event was not as detailed as it was. He just set up a sprint, with a distance of about 200 meters, and other track races had a kilometer-long mid-run.
, as well as 10,000-meter long-distance running and relay running. The Tubo man did not participate in these three competitions. It seems that the opponent has strong burst speed and endurance is not the opponent's strength.
In the field competition, the Tubo people also signed up for several events, but because these field competitions are relatively novel, the Tubo people do not have too many players, and the Tang Dynasty players are not vegetarians, so they participated in the field competitions.
All the projects ended in failure without exception.
However, in the shot put game, Li Yan discovered a powerful player among the Tubo people. The Tubo name was too long and transliterated into Chinese as Mantu. He was a strange man who could be compared with Fang Yiai.
The terrifying muscles looked like rocks. He lost to Fang Yiai only by a few steps in the shot put game. This is not to say that his strength is not as strong as the other party, but because the posture of pushing the shot put is wrong, resulting in strength.
I couldn't use it all, so I lost a little.
After the morning competition was completed, the champions of each event also received their own medals. In the afternoon, there were three events, two of which were more traditional competition events, one was horse racing, and the other was wrestling. Finally,
The javelin project proposed by Li Yan.
The Tubo people are also very interested in these three events, and all of them have signed up. Among them, in the horse racing event, the Tubo people sent three contestants at once, all of whom were top riding masters, but the Tang Dynasty was even more masters.
The young generals couldn't help but participate in the competition. As a result, because there were too many people participating, they had to divide them into two groups, each group decided to decide the top five, and then the finals were held. In the end, the Datang rider was superior in skills and was
A general who is said to be from the Xuanjia Army won the championship. As for the generals such as Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye, although they also participated, they were defeated in the first round, and the gap was too big.
Although the Tang Dynasty won the championship in the horse racing competition, Fang Yiai met an opponent in the subsequent battle of struggle. The Mantu, who lost in the shot put game, showed his power and gave more than a dozen players in a row.
After being thrown off the stage, several experts sent by Western Region countries were all defeated.
Fang Yiai's performance was not inferior. Almost all the players who met him ended the battle in a short time. Therefore, two brute force men like prehistoric beasts finally met in the finals that lived up to expectations.
Chapter completed!
