Chapter 253 The Emperor watches the game(1/2)
Jinghedi is not someone whom Guang wants to do not want to do.
Early the next morning, he arrived at the competition venue with four prime ministers, Feng Yuqiang, Zhang Xiang and other ministers.
The name is that several prime ministers invited him to watch the game with great affection, and he could only accept their kindness so as not to lose the hearts of his ministers.
Liu Mingjing cleaned up a better venue earlier and let them sit down and watch.
Coincidentally, the prince came here today, and the father and son sat together.
Standing beside them were Liu Mingjing and Xiong Dabao.
With these two people, unless thousands of bows and arrows are shot at the same time, the emperor and the prince will never be in danger.
Of course security is far more than that.
Qianniuwei surrounded the shed, and it was three floors.
At the same time, five hundred Qianniugu were standing on the line of the competition venue, which was equivalent to surrounding the competition venue.
Two thousand Yulin Guards surrounded the entire field.
It is not an exaggeration to describe defense as a wall of iron.
The children of the royal family and the nephews of the imperial court who bought tickets were not happy, but when they saw the Qianniuwei in the venue, they knew that they did not dare to provoke them and could not afford them, so they could only huddled to sit on both sides.
The people will have to work harder, and hundreds of people have temporarily changed to tickets.
Liu Mingqi generously returned the ticket money and gave one person ten big white rabbit milk candies, so she couldn't hear any complaints.
The royal family and the children of the imperial court expressed their dissatisfaction with this, saying that no matter whether the emperor came or not, our position was gone. Mingqi, you would definitely not be able to say that if you don’t give compensation.
OK OK OK OK.
Liu Mingqi had no choice but to admit defeat, and then each gave them a pack.
Fortunately, the production of Big White Rabbit milk candy has increased these days, otherwise it would be quite distressing to give it.
The emperor, prince and others in the shed there also had white rabbit milk candy.
Everyone was chatting while eating the big white rabbit milk candy, waiting for the start.
The emperor and the prince were chatting, and they saw Liu Mingqi running back with sweat on his head and sitting in the two rows below them.
The prince asked curiously: "Mingqi, where did you go?"
"Xiaochen went to see the fun outside the stadium." Liu Mingqi hesitated for a moment and said, "They are opening the market outside."
Da Kang Chao couldn't help but bet, and no one cared about losing everything.
However, Taizu had an order that it was strictly forbidden to sell his wife, daughters and grandchildren after bankruptcy. These imperial courts did not recognize them. And if anyone dared to force them, the children of the Legal family were either vegetarians, and they would start to be raided and exiled.
It is okay for a gambler to sell himself.
Then, anyone who opens a gambling house will pay heavy taxes. The commercial tax for ordinary people is 10 taxes, but casinos do not follow this, starting at least 100,000 taels a year, and the bigger the city, the more expensive it is.
For example, the annual commercial taxes of several gambling houses in Beijing exceeded one million taels, which solidly guaranteed the implementation of various welfare measures in the Imperial Capital. There are more than 3,000 anti-hunters in the Imperial Capital!
With such strict laws, there are not many gambling shops.
After all, there are few people who can afford such heavy commercial taxes.
Of course, some people are taking advantage of loopholes.
For example, this kind of opening is one of them.
They specifically post odds on a certain thing and let people bet.
As long as these people are not caught, there is nothing.
If you catch it, think about Miao Yan's black face and you will know that they have no good ending.
Many people opened the three major ball games of the Imperial Guards, and this is even more so today.
When the prince heard this, he became interested: "How about the plagiarism?"
Handicap?
It seems that you are an old gambler too!
Liu Mingqi complained in her heart and replied: "The Yulin Guard wins one and pays two, the Western Qiang people win one and pays five; the Yulin Guard wins one and pays three, the Western Qiang people win one and pays eight.
Yulin Guard scored more than thirty points, 15 points, 40 points, 35 points, 10 points; Xiqiang people scored more than 20 points, 30 points, 30 points, 30 points, 10 points, 50 points."
The emperor also listened with relish, "According to this odds, everyone is optimistic about Yulinwei, right?"
Liu Mingqi said: "Yes, not only the dealer is optimistic about Yulinwei, but most people buy Yulinwei to win. The people who buy Xiqiang won less than one ten, and they are all green-skinned gangsters who are crazy about money."
"hehe!"
Jing Hedi smiled with satisfaction.
The prince was also laughing, "Mingqi, have you placed your own bet?"
Liu Mingqi smiled, "I didn't buy it myself, but I saw that many noble family members around me went to make bets."
"How can you not support our own people?" Jing Hedi scolded with a smile as soon as he heard this, "If it were me...hehe."
He was halfway through his speech and remembered that there were important officials of the court around him, so he could not be embarrassed by his emperor.
Everyone was also very proud of their face, as if they didn't hear the emperor talking.
...
While they were talking and laughing, next to a group of Xiqiang rugby players who were warming up next to the venue, many of them were not watching these players, but looking at the shed guarded by heavy troops.
Qiledu whispered: "Little Prince, do you think if more than 100 people here rushed over and killed their emperor, prince, prime minister and other important officials, would Dakang collapse? "
Yelu Anxiang looked at him like a madman, "Do you think the security will be so relaxed and simple when the emperor comes out? Now we don't have any weapons or war horses, how can we fight? It's amazing that we can rush in front of us!"
"How can you know if you don't try it?" Qile smiled, "What if it succeeds? Are you afraid of death, aren't you?"
Yelu Anxiang smiled angrily, "For our Shi Wei, what is my personal life and death? The key is that this is basically impossible, and they will give them excuses, so that everyone will laugh at us as if we are indeed prairie barbarians and do not know any etiquette at all.
Will there be people who dare to deal with us in the future and do business with us? Even if there is, if we enter the Central Plains, their people will believe our promises? No! They will definitely come to resist us in groups! They will still quit when the time comes!"
Qile shrugged, "So, it's really boring for people like you who think too much, and there's no courage or courage at all."
Yelu Anxiang was too lazy to tell him.
First of all, whether the Wei people in Shi were brave and decisive was not necessary to defend him.
And so, are you afraid you don’t treat me as a fool?
Can you even be a person who is impulsive and desperate?
Even if I encourage you to go with you now, you will definitely not go.
"Do you have confidence today?" Yelu Anxiang asked, "Yulinwei won all eight battles before, and they are famous madmen."
Qile's mouth moved and sneered, "The people of Dakang know what madness is? A group of frogs in the well! Today, let me completely defeat them on their pride, and let them see how powerful the Western Qiang warriors are!"
Yelu Anxiang said: "My servant just said that the betting handicap outside is opening, and most of the people in the capital have bought you and you lose."
Qile said disapprovingly: "If we rely on these things, we can know the result. Then why are our children working hard to train?"
Yelu Anxiang thought this was very correct.
But he also believed that the Western Qiang people might not be able to defeat the Yulin Guard. After all, even the other imperial guards had a headache when they looked at them. There was definitely something extraordinary.
The Dakang Imperial Army must be soft persimmons. Over the past hundred years, their grassland tribal countries have already broken through the defense line and become the masters of the Central Plains.
...
The start time will soon be.
Today, the weather is beautiful. Although it is winter, the sun is still hanging high, and you can still feel a little warmth under the sun.
The fully armed Xiqiang team and the Yulin Guard stood in the two halfs of the rugby court, staring at each other with cold and hot eyes through the iron mask.
Several referees stood on both sides of the field, and the referee shouted loudly: "I would like to emphasize again that everything is played according to the rules. If any violation of the regulations is violated, all will be expelled from the court! Our Legal referees are fair and will not favor anyone, but will only respect the rules. Have you heard it?"
When he was speaking, there was a Western Qiang man following the translation. After all, not every Western Qiang man understands Dakang dialect.
The members of the Xiqiang team did not doubt what the referee said.
Many of them participated in yesterday's polo competition. At that time, the Legal referees were very fair and would call for anyone who made mistakes. They did not target them just because they were from Western Qiang people.
The Xiqiang team members were still very satisfied with this.
"Shh!"
The whistle sounded, and the two groups of people rushed and collided quickly like beasts.
Next is the rugby competition that you and I compete for.
The first person to take the ball was the Yulin Guard. The mighty quarterback rushed forward with the ball under the cover of his teammates.
As a result, the Xiqiang people rushed up one by one, but were all rushed over to Duizi by his team members.
But because there were so many people, everyone was crowded together and the quarterback couldn't move.
Jing Hedi was a little stunned not far away, "This... isn't this rugby like a street fight? Ah! That Yulin Guard was knocked away!!"
Liu Mingqi said: "But the Imperial Guards like this game the most. They think this is a man's game, it's strong enough."
To be continued...
