"good!"

"Father Zhong is mighty!

"

Several people stood on the "edge of the city" and couldn't help clapping their hands and cheering.

This is a judicial venue set up in the palace. It is rectangular in shape and faces east-west. It has a main hall facing south and north for viewing. It is surrounded by fences and is called "Ju City". This is very similar to the later football stadium.

This is not the result of Liu Chang's intervention, because the Han people just love to play, and this thing began to appear during this period.

Perhaps it was suppressed for too long in the pre-Qin period. In the peaceful Han Dynasty, various entertainment activities developed rapidly, including the first entertainment item in the Han Dynasty, Cuju. The entertainment Cuju in the pre-Qin period could no longer satisfy the majority of the people, so,

Three other methods have been developed by the private sector.

In addition to entertainment Cuju, performance Cuju also appeared.

Performative Cuju, to put it simply, is ball-bobbing, performed with the accompaniment of drums and ball-controlling skills using the feet, knees, shoulders, head and other parts. The high-ranking officials are very fond of watching it. The murals unearthed by Han Dynasty have shown this many times.

It is a performative form of Cuju, and sometimes nobles even come out to perform in person.

The third type is competitive Cuju, which is what Liu Chang is playing now. It is specially used for competitions. It usually involves four people and has a special "goal". The Han people attach great importance to competitions. After all, they are from the Qin Dynasty.

As for the tradition left behind, Li You of the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "Don't be close to each other, don't be selfish, be honest, and don't blame others!"

The general meaning is that there is no distinction between high and low on the court. If you want to play, just play well!

The nobles probably had their own teams, composed of ministers.

The fourth type is Cuju in the military, which is generally used to train soldiers.

At this moment, Liu Chang was playing competitive Cuju, but this time he felt like he was playing Cuju in the military. When Liu Chang controlled the ball and started to charge towards the opposite side, the two players standing in front of him were

He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to think of stepping forward to fight for him. He quickly got out of the way for fear of being hit and killed by this guy.

Of course, as a famous Cuju player in Chang'an, Liu Chang's movements are not very good here. They can also grab the ball without injury, but Cuju is just Cuju. You can't risk your life for Cuju. The whole Cuju in Chang'an

Players, who doesn’t know that His Majesty is the one who can’t afford to lose the most? If he loses, he will beat others.

However, the people of Lao Qin can also understand Your Majesty. After all, the people of Lao Qin cannot afford to lose. If you look at the war records left by the people of Qin, you can find one thing. The people of Lao Qin cannot afford to lose even more. If you fight, no matter what

No matter how badly we lose, they will only record the number of beheadings and never mention the word "defeat". As long as we don't record it, we will not fail! We old Qin people have never heard of and don't know Lord Xinling.

have no idea!

Anyone who dared to ask further questions was building the Great Wall.

Although he is from Chu, his mother's family is from Zhao, and his ancestors are from Wei, many of Liu Chang's actions make people sigh, and he really deserves to be an old Qin man born in Chang'an.

Liu Chang scored again and raised his hands to cheer.

The disciples clapped their hands excitedly.

Liu Qi is a staunch fan. Whenever a Cuju player blocks Father Zhong, he can't help but shout: "Hit him! Father Zhong! Beat him!"

Then those players didn't dare to stop him and hurriedly let go.

Liu Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down with a smile. The disciples gathered around him, chattering about his amazing performance just now.

"Father Zhong's Cuju kick was really good. If that punch had hit him, the kicker would have to lie down for at least half a month!"

Liu Xiang said excitedly.

Liu Chang cleared his throat in embarrassment. He couldn't afford to play, but he was too strong. Even if the Cuju ball passed by his feet hit someone, he would be injured. Therefore, he was always careful and tried not to let himself touch others.

, as for those who can't afford to lose, that's just a rumor. He, Liu Chang, is a kind-hearted person and the whole Han Dynasty knows it. How could he do such a thing?

"It's boring, it's boring, there are too few people blocking it, and I score every time I rush..."

Liu Chang shook his head, a little tired of playing.

Liu Chang didn't know that in history, one of his grandsons also expressed similar sentiments. Then, in the third year of Yuanfeng, Xiaozhu held the first "sports meeting" of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an.

The strength of the Han Dynasty is different from the strength of the Qin State. The strength of the Qin State is reflected in its control over the grassroots, the strong combat effectiveness of the army, and its harsh standards and legal provisions. The strength of the Han Dynasty is how many

In terms of strength, even by today's standards, the Han Dynasty was a powerful country in the world at that time, not only in national defense, but also in soft power and culture. It was also unprecedentedly strong.

The emergence of various arts, paintings, novels, poetry, jokes, sculptures, sports...the progress of various disciplines, medicine, animal medicine, forensic medicine, mathematics, literature, history, architecture...all of ancient China

Almost all architectural styles were formed during the Han Dynasty.

Various new industries have emerged, developed in all directions, and done almost everything they can. They have left a benchmark for future generations and set countless precedents. This is a truly prosperous age.

A country like Qin can probably only be considered a powerful country, but it cannot be considered a prosperous country.

Hearing Liu Chang's emotion, Liu Qi said with a smile: "Fu Zhong is the most playful person in the whole Han Dynasty. If you find it boring and helpless, then no one can find a solution."

Looking at these extremely attentive people, Liu Chang couldn't help but laugh.

"You guys have been following me all day. If you have anything to do, just say it and it's okay!"

Liu Xiang then said: "Father Zhong, we haven't seen An for a long time, and we miss him very much. We are afraid that he will suffer hardship, so we want to go and see him..."

Liu Xun also nodded, "Chang'an is very boring. An is not here, and no one tells us what to do. We study all day long... Father Zhong, can you let us go to see An? I will come soon

I am going to the Western Regions to join my country, and before I leave, I want to see him."

"Oh...you all want to see him, right?"

Liu Chang suddenly grinned. This inexplicable smile made Liu Qi feel nervous.

Liu Xiang was still smiling and nodding.

Liu Qi hurriedly said: "Father Zhong is training An. I don't dare to disturb him. Just let them go. I won't go..."

"No problem, go ahead, go ahead, it would be great to meet him!"

"Father Zhong! I don't dare to disturb you! Let Xiang and the others go!"

Liu Qi refused solemnly, but the other Zhuzi just nodded stupidly, "Let's go! Let's go!"

Liu Chang laughed and said, "Yes, it seems there is no need for you to go, Lu!"

Lu Lu hurriedly stepped forward, and Liu Chang whispered a few instructions and waved his hand.

Lu Lu nodded, and then Caixiang and the others left with him.

"Thank you very much, Father Zhong!"

"Haha, thank you very much, Father Zhong, for helping me!"

The few Zhuzi were extremely happy and followed Lu Lu away with smiles.

Liu Qi just looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head. My brothers are still too naive. Who is Father Zhong and can he still make your wishes come true?

Liu Chang asked Liu Qi to follow him, and the two returned to the Houde Hall together.

After entering the hall, Liu Chang moved his body a little, sat down, and asked Liu Qi to sit in front of him.

"Those fools, I want them to taste the suffering that An suffered."

Liu Qi was not surprised, he had already guessed that this would be the case.

"Among the children in the clan, you are not the smartest, but you are the most capable. You are a bit irritable and cruel, but for a monarch, this is not a big shortcoming..."

"I have my own idea of ​​sealing you in the Western Region. Liu Xian is good at martial arts, but he has little talent and little knowledge. Therefore, I specially let him be closer to Hexi so that he can be your helper in the future. This guy is useless. Guarding

Hexi Gate can always do it.”

"But you are different. I have high hopes for you. The Xiting Kingdom can expand its territory in all three directions... all the way to the west, and even control the road that leads to the Xiongnu... I hope to be able to

As a bridge between east and west, you will play a major role in conquering body poison in the future, or in transporting something back from body poison. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Your Majesty, I obey your orders!"

"Hahaha, you are such a arrogant person. You are just like your father when it comes to recognizing and employing people. Even with your personality, you don't know who you follow. You hold grudges and are irritable...your father is not like that!"

"Ahem, I probably followed my third uncle."

"Yes! Yes!"

"You have grown up too. You should gradually change those bad habits and learn more from your father!"

"Although your country is very big, its household registration is very small. The more than 200,000 people are not as good as a county in the Central Plains... After you go to the feudal country, you should think more about the population. Only when there are more people can things be done easily.

This is always the case. In addition, don’t treat your people as barbarians. As long as they can be used by you, don’t care so much... Pick more capable people back and let them help you. You must be like Zhao

Like Tuo, he turned the barbarians into the people of the Han Dynasty."

"In addition, there are many people on Shendu's side. Liu Qu, the translator, said that there was a man named Ashoka who was able to dispatch 200,000 soldiers to fight without affecting the national strength. Then their household registration must be numerous.

Millions of people, all added up, may be close to tens of millions..."

"If you can, try to turn the surrounding barbarians into your subjects. Do you know how to do this?"

Liu Qi nodded thoughtfully.

"In terms of population, I can't give you much help. People are needed everywhere. It just depends on your own ability."

"Among all the clan members, you are the only one who has the most important mission."

"It's not that Father Zhong doesn't love you, it's just that you are the most talented. As a member of the clan, this is your obligation. You cannot refuse or complain. Do you understand?"

Liu Qi nodded heavily.
