Chapter 134 Ask the Emperor

Outer city.

To say that Lu Yao has invested the most in recent industries, it is the Bird's Nest Stadium. The most important thing here is not only money, but also energy. Although most of Lu Yao's industries and factories are now operating steadily, and the lottery station

With Zhao Zhen as the backend, things are naturally booming. The only thing that has some variables is probably the newly created bank that is under construction.

However, the last time Lu Yao got interested and went to check out the construction process of the bank, he had some conflicts with Tang Xi's friend, Zhang Mou. After that, the two turned enemies into friends, and Zhang Mou even said that he

This bank will be completed on schedule and there will be absolutely no problems.

Lu Yao naturally believed in Zhang Mou, and apart from the bank, what Lu Yao cared about the most was naturally the Bird's Nest Stadium, which he himself drew sketches and is currently under construction.

The Bird's Nest Stadium in the capital is so spectacular that no further description is needed here. But here in Luyao, the construction proportions, materials, and internal structure actually need to be somewhat reduced. Although this stadium still looks like a Bird's Nest from the outside

Although the shape of the blade is quite different internally, although Lu Yao can be said to be wealthy now, he still has to save what can be saved by using the so-called good steel on the blade.

For example, to give the simplest example, there is no need to set up spectator seats in the stadium. It is not really because of the size of the stadium or because Lu Yao does not like to spend money, but because in ancient times, in addition to emperors, there were basically high-ranking officials.

In addition, the common people prefer, or are accustomed to, standing to watch the game.

Look at those street jugglers, how can they put a few chairs next to them for the audience to sit and watch the performance? For them, this kind of movement should be watched standing up, so that it can appear powerful.

Lu Yao has actually considered the audience, because it is the first new Cuju competition. Although there may be overcrowding in the later stages, in the early stage, there should not be too many people in the first and second rounds.

The stadium cannot accommodate it.

Moreover, the Bird's Nest Stadium designed by Lu Yao, except that it looks similar to a modern one, inside it is basically a football venue. Apart from the necessary venues for staff and commentators, the rest of the stadium is open to spectators.

A place to watch the game.

To this end, although he did nothing, Lu Yao still carried out a stepped design. Of course, this is also to facilitate preparations when tickets can be collected for subsequent Cuju competitions. Just like watching a modern concert.

In the Song Dynasty, Lu Yao actually had some plans in mind regarding where the audience should stand to watch as he drew the sketch of the Bird's Nest. Lu Yao would make arrangements when the audience started to enter the game.

Although the Bird's Nest designed by Lu Yao is naturally much simpler than the Bird's Nest Stadium in the capital, the structural shape and internal design were definitely unheard of in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that

Lu Yao considered that most of the workers in the cement factory would be involved in the construction of the Bird's Nest Stadium, so when the bank was being built, there wouldn't be many people available to help at the moment, so in the end Lu Yao found Tangxi and chose outsourcing from In fact and Hyundai

The work is the same, just design a two-story house that is the highest architectural art in this dynasty according to the structure of the houses in the inner city and use it as a bank.

After all, it would be a very embarrassing thing for a two-story cement building to suddenly appear in Bianliang City.

From such a comparison, we can naturally understand the importance of the Bird's Nest to Lu Yao. Of course, Lu Yao paid for the construction of the Bird's Nest out of his own pocket. Despite what Zhao Zhen said on the surface, he was very good. If you have any difficulties, just tell him.

But this was all talk of face, and Lu Yaoye never intended to actually ask Zhao Zhen for this fee.

Lu Yao is a shrewd person. He doesn't want to be like Zhang Maocai, who just made some money with Zhao Zhen and then immediately lost more money. He shouldn't play this kind of game with anyone but the emperor.

Besides, although this money may seem like a huge amount of money to others, this cement factory is Lu Yao's own business, and the cost and labor can be reduced to a minimum, so in the end, Lu Yao didn't spend much extra money.

.

However, the common people naturally don't know the reason for this. They only think that Lu Yao has been in the limelight recently and has become a celebrity around the emperor. Zhao Zhen is willing to spend money to support Lu Yao in such a big project as the Bird's Nest. They

I don’t know, but Lu Yao actually paid for it himself.

At first, Lu Yao was a little worried about this matter, but then he thought about it carefully. It was done for the people anyway, so why bother with so much. Moreover, the people felt that the money came from the emperor, so they would naturally

For everyone to praise the emperor, it is impossible for Zhao Zhen not to know about this matter, and there is no need for him to take credit. He said nothing and showed a very humble attitude, which would actually increase Zhao Zhen's evaluation of himself.

Let’s talk about the Bird’s Nest Stadium itself. It is said that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to successfully hold a new Cuju competition, the most critical factor is naturally the personnel. This is also the most important factor, that is, the subjective factor.

First of all, you need to find a resounding name so that people will be interested when they hear about this new Cuju competition. Even if they don’t want to participate in it themselves, they will be interested in becoming an audience of this new Cuju competition. This is the name.

The important role that the head can play.

Therefore, Lu Yao found a perfect solution to this problem, which was naturally to find a name that people would be interested in as soon as they heard it.

In ancient times, this candidate would naturally be the emperor.

For this reason, Lu Yao specially found Zhao Zhen and wanted him to agree to hold the Cuju competition. Of course, Zhao Zhen's final agreement had a lot to do with Lu Yao showing off his cooking skills to Zhao Zhen.

Moreover, Lu Yao knew that Zhao Zhen was most troubled about the Cuju competition, which was naturally the issue of money expenditure, so Lu Yao immediately said that most of the words were made by himself.

For Zhao Zhen, who was full of money, this Cuju competition was originally a favor. Moreover, Lu Yao later said that this Cuju competition was also for the sake of the people. Zhao Zhen finally made up his mind and agreed to Lu Yao's request.

.

Once the name was determined, Lu Yao found that it was still very useful. As soon as the people heard that the competition was organized by the emperor, they all started to inquire about it. After all, Zhao Zhen, the emperor, was in the eyes of the people.

, he was also a rare good emperor, so at that time there were already some people who were ready to sign up to become members of the Cuju team.

This brings us to the second place where people are needed, which is the team and the selection of team members. The names have been settled, and the next step is to determine the players. Since this is the first time such an event is held

In the competition, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Lu Yao was more cautious in the end and chose the Han family, the Cao family, the Royal Cuju team, which he knew well, and the Pan family, which he had a good relationship with, as the four candidate teams.

And their opponents were also chosen by themselves. The reason for doing this was that once any problems occurred later, when they were held accountable, they would naturally find these four people, who had nothing to do with them. Later, although there were some twists and turns in the process

, and finally eight participating teams were determined.

For Lu Yao, who is holding a Cuju competition for the first time, eight participating teams are enough. When setting the schedule, the duration of the competition will not be prolonged, which will make those people lose interest. Usually football matches, World Cup

At that time, some fans would not go to the group stage. They often preferred the fighting scenes in the knockout rounds. So Lu Yao simply made up eight teams in the end, which is equivalent to saying that from the beginning of this competition, they will be the top eight.

tournament, semi-finals, and finally the finals, and they are all knockout matches where the winner is determined by one game. Only this intense and exciting competition system will arouse the audience's interest, and combined with Zhao Zhen's publicity, will the ultimate goal be achieved.

Good results.

However, Lu Yao also considered that because he chose people he was familiar with to form the team, it would inevitably make the people think that this game was just a skin covering the participation of all people, but in the end it was still used by rich people.

It was just a toy to pass the time, so Lu Yao made two preparations for this. First, after a heated debate with Cao You, he chose to let more common people become team members in this Cuju competition. Although the leader may be a bureaucrat,

However, ordinary people still account for a large proportion of the team members. In this way, when people talk about this competition, because the players in the competition are likely to be people they are familiar with, at least, they are of the same level as them.

and identity, this will make them more interested.

The second is the football lottery created by Lu Yao. I have to admit that the rise of the lottery industry shows that people in the Song Dynasty still liked activities of this nature. Pan Wen alone did not know.

How many lottery tickets have you bought?

Compared with lottery, football lottery has lower risk. Once you are familiar with the level of a team, you can basically avoid losing money in every game.

With the temptation of financial benefits, people will naturally pay more attention to this new Cuju competition. Naturally, in addition to the economic aspect, they will also care about improving their physical fitness.

Of course, in order to ensure the stable operation of football lottery and avoid the occurrence of black lottery situations like modern times, the fairness of the game is naturally the most important thing. For this reason, we have to talk about the third subjective factor, the referee.

Commentator, and supervision mechanism.

In terms of refereeing, Bao Zheng and his three-man team from Kaifeng Prefecture naturally did their part. Now even children can say that Bao Zheng is a good official with a clear mind, not to mention the people in Bianliang City.

It is a perfect thing for the team to be the referee. At the same time, it also gives reassurance to those who buy football lottery tickets. Even if they lose money, they can only think that the team did not perform well, or that

I didn't understand the situation on the field.

Furthermore, as I said before, the emperor's name is very resounding. For this reason, it can really arouse the interest of the audience and let them participate in the watching team of this Cuju competition. However, how can we make them really interested in this Cuju competition?

Interested in sports?

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and insiders watch the door. Needless to say now, because it is a new type of Cuju, all people can be said to be laymen. When laymen watch the game, it is the so-called five-minute heat. Let’s put it in modern times.

, how many older people can understand when watching children playing games, or can calm down and watch the last twenty minutes?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

bell?

Maybe he will leave in five minutes. Of course, because it is a game hosted by the emperor, it is still possible to watch for half an hour. However, once the game enters the intermission period, these spectators who cannot understand the game will

will leave the stadium.

And how to turn them from laymen to insiders, and even help them provide some advice on football betting, this is what the commentator has to do. After Lu Yao thought about it, it seemed that Su Shi and Su Zhe were not the only ones who could do this job.

Apart from that, no one else is qualified. At least among the people Lu Yao knows, basically no one can compare with Su Shi in terms of their ability to accept new things and their ability to analyze, coupled with their strong eloquence.

After identifying these people, Lu Yao also conducted some tests on them respectively, and the results did not disappoint Lu Yao. Both the Kaifeng Mansion trio and the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che showed them to Lu Yao

With their strength, there is no problem for them to serve as referees and commentators.

The last thing left is the instructor. There is a saying that there are no soldiers who cannot lead well, only generals who cannot lead soldiers well. This sentence is not true at all. Although people's lives are different individually, how to lead them

They give full play to their strengths. This is what leaders, that is, what leaders need to do.

In other words, although the identities of these ordinary people have changed now, from ordinary people to Cuju players, if they do not accept high-intensity training and do not fully accept the change of their identities physically and mentally, they will not be able to wait until the game actually begins.

Sometimes, their performance will definitely not be satisfactory.

In this regard, choosing the right trainer is naturally the top priority. In this regard, Lu Yao's final decision was Zhe Kexing. But here Lu Yao did it because of Zhe Kexing's background and what happened to him

This judgment was made only after the incident. Although Zhe Katsuyuki is not yet a general, and his talents in military administration have not yet been discovered, Lu Yao is the one who knows what he will do in the future.

, Therefore, Lu Yao gave unconditional trust to Zhe Kexing. And his sworn brother Zhe Kexing did not let him down in the end, and successfully became a military training instructor and began to train these eight teams.

According to the current form, the subjective factors have basically been solved, and they have been solved perfectly. The most difficult part of this Cuju competition is basically no longer difficult.

The rest should be objective factors.

For example, the first thing to mention is the issue of food and accommodation for the team members. For this reason, Zhang Maocai, the leader of one of the participating teams, blackmailed Zhao Zhen severely. Naturally, Zhao Zhen did not spoil Zhang Maocai.

Backhand, Zhang Maocai's Guilu Inn in the outer city was purchased to provide convenient accommodation for officials and ordinary people who came to Bianliang from other places to study the new Cuju after the official competition.

Objective factors are actually much easier to solve than subjective factors because they eliminate the human variable.

The problem of food and accommodation has been solved, and then there is the issue of the competition schedule. Considering his imperial examination, Lu Yao postponed the date of the official competition. It has been postponed to a few days after the imperial examination. By then, make sure

I have enough time to prepare for this new Cuju competition.

The last objective factor is the Bird's Nest Stadium, which has not yet been completed. Therefore, before Lu Yao retreated, he always told Tangxi to keep an eye on the Bird's Nest Stadium. No matter how stupid Tangxi is, he still understands the importance of the stadium.

Sex, so after completing other tasks assigned to him by Lu Yao today, Tangxi went directly to the outer city, found an inn and stayed there. He decided that at least during the few days of Lu Yao's retreat, he would keep an eye on

Live at the Bird's Nest Stadium.

It seems that the construction masters are not aware that Lu Yao has gone into seclusion. However, since Tangxi has said that he will come to inspect every day, this shows that Lu Yao attaches great importance to the Bird's Nest. Naturally, these workers do not dare to

No, the craftsmen selected by Lu Yao this time are all the best in the cement factory. If they don't do this well, they may lose their jobs. Naturally, they know the consequences.

That night, Tangxi returned to the inn, took out a pen and paper, and began to summarize her day's work. Tangxi didn't really care about other things, but when she went to the Cao family and the Han family today, the reaction of the two families was

, Tangxi always feels very strange.

In fact, the impression Han Yonghe left on Tangxi was not very good. He felt that Mr. Han basically kept a straight face every day. Either he was unhappy with this or uncomfortable with that. But what happened today?

When she went to the Han Mansion, she saw Han Yonghe smiling more than once. At first, Tangxi thought that Han Yonghe was laughing because he was satisfied after learning about Lu Yao's hard study. However, after Tangxi carefully observed it, Han Yonghe was laughing.

Yonghe, it seems that the smile is not given to Lu Yao, but seems to be laughing to himself. It seems that the Han family must have encountered something happy today.

On the other hand, looking at the Cao family, although Lu Yao was not very fond of Cao Guojiu's family, from Tangxi's point of view, he had a better impression of the Cao family than the Han family. From Tangxi's point of view, whether Cao Guojiu's family was

Everyone he saw was smiling. Even for a servant like himself, he didn't have the arrogant attitude of Han Yonghe, which Tangxi admired very much.

Naturally, people like Tang Xi would not understand the meaning of hiding a knife in a smile. However, Han Yonghe is indeed not as easy-going as Cao Yan in dealing with people. This has a lot to do with the attitude of the Han family towards the people. It has been done before

He said that Han Wenyuan really did not want to find a team of ordinary people to participate in the competition. He felt that this new type of Cuju sport was prepared for dignitaries, and ordinary people were not qualified to participate in such competitions. Because of this, the Han family almost did not have any

Find another participating team within the specified time. Finally, with the help of Lu Yao, Chen Chen, a pure civilian team, was discovered. Even so, Han Wenyuan, including Han Yonghe, was not very optimistic about Chen Chen, a grassroots team.

The Cao family and the Han family have completely opposite attitudes. The higher they are in a high position, the more they have to pay attention to their words and deeds. At this time, Cao Yi often said to Cao You and Cao Ping. Don’t look at Cao Ping’s previous remarks.

He and Han Yonghe got into a fight face to face, because in Cao Ping's view, this old man's status was inferior to his own, and he had to pretend to be arrogant, so Cao Ping couldn't bear to curse.

As for ordinary people, Cao Ping's performance was much better than that of Han Wenyuan. Facing the people, especially those from poor families, Cao Ping and Cao You would help them unconditionally. This is what Cao Yi has been teaching them.

things.

If you help these people, when something happens to you, people will naturally come to help you. Never ridicule others just because you think you are superior. Cao Yi and his wife have been admonishing this point.

Two young men.

Before Cao You, he offended people from other factions because of official affairs, and was eventually demoted from Bianliang. In Cao Yi's view, this was the result of not handling the relationship well. Of course, because Cao You usually did one good deed every day

, when the people learned that he was leaving the capital, a group of people actually signed a petition to the emperor, hoping that Zhao Zhen would forgive Cao You for his mistakes. It was precisely because of this that Cao You died not long after he left the capital.

Returned to the capital city again.

However, because of his previous experience, Cao You has indeed begun to restrain himself a lot now, but when he sees something unfair, Cao You will still be the first to stand up. Because of this incident, everyone in the Cao family,

Regarding those common people, they themselves have put away their airs and completely eliminated the discrimination against the common people from their hearts. At this point, I have to admit that the Cao family does much better than the Han family.

It is precisely because Cao You has seen the power of these common people as a group before, so after the Cao family became the new Cuju team, Cao You immediately decided to select all the participating team members from among the common people, so he also

Later, the two live treasures, one fat and one thin, joined.

You must know that among the eight teams participating in the Cuju competition, except for Chen Chen's team, although the other teams also have common people joining them, they are often mixed with servants from their own houses.

As for the Cao family's team, Cao You selected thirteen people from the street one by one, who had the same status as Chen Chen's team. Cao You thought that Lu Yao would greatly appreciate his actions, because in Cao You's view,

Lu Yao said before that this event was held for the common people, so he should be very satisfied with the team he selected.

Who would have known that Lu Yao looked disappointed after seeing the Cao family's team. Then Cao You had a debate with Lu Yao. It was precisely because of this debate that Lu Yao and the grassroots team were awakened.

And so it was born.

For a person like Cao You who wants to make a difference, it doesn't matter whether he wins or not in this Cuju competition. The key is to show his family's attitude towards the people, which is the most important thing.

critical.

Therefore, regarding the common people, whether it is about this competition or not, there is a big difference in the attitude and behavior of the Cao family and the Han family.

Because of this, Tangxi is even more confused about what happened to him today. Han Yonghe, who he originally thought looked down on him, has softened his attitude towards him a lot today, and Han Wenyuan actually called himself brother Tangxi affectionately.

This had never happened before, just after Tangxi left the Han Mansion and arrived at the Cao Mansion.

Originally, every time I went to the Cao Mansion, the Cao family would receive me very warmly, but today, except for Cao You's attitude towards me as usual, the other Cao family members seemed not to like me very much, and they didn't like me very much.

The attitude is very cold.

What is the reason for this? Tangxi thought for a while and realized that he probably didn’t do anything wrong today?

Tangxi was lying on the bed in the inn, puzzled. Could it be that the engagement was about to happen and Miss Cao Han of the Cao family lost her temper again, so Uncle Cao Guo turned his anger on himself? Tangxi then thought about it,

It shouldn't be possible. After all, Lu Yao had told himself before that Cao Guojiu actually didn't know as much as Cao You about matters involving himself and Cao Han. Although Cao You seemed to be in a bad mood today, he still

His attitude toward himself is no different.

On the contrary, Cao Guojiu, who has always been very kind, seems to be in a low mood today, which is in sharp contrast to the cheerful Han Yonghe.

What was going on? Tangxi closed her eyes and analyzed it carefully.

Within a few minutes, Tangxi slapped his forehead suddenly and said, "Why didn't I think of this?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"

Time, back to this morning...

Before the morning court began, there were already four people outside Zhao Zhen's bedroom who had entered the palace as soon as the palace door was opened.

They are Han Yonghe, Han Wenyuan, Cao Yi and Cao You.

These four people seemed to have barely slept at all last night. Han Wenyuan almost yawned, but was finally stopped by Han Yonghe.

The old eunuch Lao Yu who was on duty last night was also shocked when he saw this formation this morning. The morning court had not yet started, and His Majesty had just finished dressing up and was having breakfast in the palace. Why did these four people come together?

It would be fine if several other ministers came together, but it happened that above the court there were the Cao family and the Han family, who were incompatible with each other in life. How could the four of them come together?

The four men were approaching in a menacing manner, as if they had something urgent to tell the emperor. Naturally, Lao Yu did not dare to delay, so he entered the palace to explain the situation to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen did not turn over the cards last night, but slept in his own dormitory. This morning, while having dinner, he saw Lao Yu hurriedly entering the palace.

On weekdays, Zhao Zhen really didn't like to be disturbed while eating. Judging from Lao Yu's expression, it was probably an emergency.

So Zhao Zhen asked, and Lao Yu quickly said that it was Lord Shangshu and Uncle Cao Guo, both of whom were waiting outside the palace with their young masters.

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he actually laughed and said: "These four people are actually getting together. The sun is probably not rising in the west today."

So, Zhao Zhen asked Lao Yu to invite the four of them in.

After the four people came in, they stood aside and saw that Zhao Zhen was still eating, but no one said anything.

Han Yonghe knew that there was a minister who was beheaded because he said the wrong thing while Zhao Zhen was eating.

The four of them stood like this for a quarter of an hour. Zhao Zhen finished his last night's porridge and wiped his mouth while asking Lao Yu to show the four of them where to sit.

Zhao Zhen looked at Han Yonghe and Cao Yi who were taking the lead, and said, "You two came to me together so early today. Could it be that the sun is coming out from the west?"

Cao Yi and Han Yonghe looked at each other, then immediately turned back.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Zhao Zhen looked at the two of them and said.

Cao Yan was the first to speak and said: "Actually, I went to the Lu Mansion yesterday with Mr. Han, Mr. Zhang Maocai, and Mr. Han Qi."

When Zhao Zhen heard about Lu Mansion, he thought about it and said, "Lu Mansion? Did you go to Lu Yao to confirm your embroidery pattern?"

Han Yonghe nodded and said, "Yes, determining the pattern is indeed one of the things we are doing during this trip."

"Counting the days, the imperial examination will be held in seven days. How is your future son-in-law preparing?" Zhao Zhen looked at Han Yonghe and asked.

Han Yonghe was naturally very proud. He even took a special look at Cao Yi and said, "Lu Yao said that starting from today, he will study hard in seclusion until the day of the imperial examination."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he smiled and said: "This kid, it's a little late to start reading now. But with his intelligence, it shouldn't be a problem."

Cao Yi saw that Zhao Zhen was always talking to Han Yonghe about Lu Yao's words. He felt a little embarrassed about his face, so he took out the embroidery pattern of his team from his sleeve, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty

, please take a look, this is the embroidery pattern of our team."

Zhao Zhen took it and took a look and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, it's quite impressive. This lion is really lifelike."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhen's praise of Cao Yi, Han Yonghe was naturally not to be outdone and quickly presented his own pattern.

Zhao Zhen took it over, frowned at first, and then said, "Who designed this pattern?"

Han Wenyuan was standing behind Han Yonghe at this time. When he heard what Zhao Zhen said, he immediately came up from behind and said, "It was Wei Chen who thought about it. Wei Chen thought that this spear, just like Zhang Wenyuan's spear, can

It’s like entering an uninhabited place and having the ambition to be trapped in a battle, there will be death but no life!”

"Okay, what a life and death!" Zhao Zhen heard this and said with a smile, "If there is a chance, my Emperor Tian team would like to meet your Wenyuan team for a while to see who of our weapons is more powerful.

Some!"

The four people below were a little confused after hearing this. Zhao Zhen smiled and motioned to Lao Yu to show the four people the pattern of the Emperor's Sky Team that he had designed with the royal painter yesterday.

The pattern is very simple. It is a sword. The sword is not drawn from top to bottom, but diagonally. The blade extends from the upper right to the lower left.

Han Wenyuan didn't see anything special, but Han Yonghe had already noticed the specialness of the sword on this pattern.

"Could this pattern be Shang Fang's sword?"

"Exactly." Zhao Zhen looked quite proud and said, "As the saying goes, this Shangfang Sword can kill all evil spirits, but I use this Shangfang Sword as a pattern, naturally because I want the Huangtian Team to win."

"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."

The four people said together.

Speaking of patterns, Zhao Zhen seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Have you ever seen the patterns of other teams? Tell me about them."

So, Cao Yi and Han Yonghe told Zhao Zhen about the patterns of Zhang Maocai and Han Qi's teams. After hearing this, Zhao Zhen felt that the pattern designs of these two teams were basically reasonable. For these teams,

The pattern means they all agree.

However, because Han Yonghe and Cao Yi went to the Lu Mansion at night yesterday, they did not bump into Pan Wen, Liu Bo and Chen Chen, so they naturally did not know the patterns designed by these three teams.

Zhao Zhen felt a little pity and said: "I really want to know what the pattern of this grassroots team is. After all, they are our opponents in the first round."

Cao You said: "As far as Wei Chen knows, the pattern of this grassroots team seems to have been designed by Mr. Xiao Lu himself."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen became interested and said, "Since it was designed by Lu Yao himself, it is naturally very interesting. I will go to the training ground and ask them personally in the next court."

After saying this, Zhao Zhen thought that these four people came here just to show him the embroidery pattern. There should be nothing wrong now, and he should be ready to go to court. But who knew, Zhao Zhen was about to get up,

Cao Yi said that he still had something to say.

Only then did Zhao Zhen realize that if it was just to show himself the pattern, he really wouldn't be blocking the outside of his palace with his children so early in the morning.

Under Zhao Zhen's inquiry, Han Yonghe and Cao Yan expressed their ideas about having a friendly match.

Zhao Zhen was not a fool. When he heard this, he knew that although it was a friendly Cuju warm-up match between the Cao family and the Han family, in fact, it was clearly a way for the two families to vent their anger.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen did not give any obvious answer at first, but asked, "Since you went to the Lu Mansion yesterday, you naturally asked Lu Yao what he thought. What did he say?"

Han Yonghe replied: "I have already told Lu Yao and he agreed."

"Agreed?" Zhao Zhen was a little surprised. In his opinion, it was impossible for Lu Yao not to know the true intention of the Cao family and the Han family to play Cuju. But since he agreed, he naturally had his own reasons.

.

Perhaps seeing Zhao Zhen's unexpected expression, Cao You said: "In addition to our match, Lu Yao proposed that he would like to find two more teams among the other four teams and have another round.

A warm-up match, and the time of these two matches is fixed in the last two days of training."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he realized that Lu Yao had his own plans, so he asked in detail.

How can Cao Yi and Han Yonghe remember what Lu Yao said yesterday, and they are even less likely to understand what Lu Yao is thinking. Therefore, when it comes to Zhao Zhen's question about Lu Yao's intentions, the two old guys can't even say a word.

Unable to explain, for them, their attention was naturally focused more on the result that Lu Yao agreed to them holding a warm-up match.

Fortunately, Cao You, as the IQ person in charge of the Cao family, is also the man Lu Yao likes. It is relatively easy to understand why Lu Yao wants to hold one more warm-up match.

So next, Cao You and Zhao Zhen explained in detail the necessity of holding one more warm-up match, for example, for the sake of fairness in training time for each team, and then to test the trio of Bao Zheng through the warm-up match.

The referees and commentators of the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe are also good, of course, so that Zhao Zhen can watch the two games in advance and feel the charm of this new Cuju.

After Cao You finished speaking, Han Yonghe and Cao Yi on the side looked like they had been saved. Fortunately, Cao You had the answer, otherwise they would not have known how to answer Zhao Zhen's question.

After Cao You's explanation, Zhao Zhen also realized the necessity of conducting a warm-up match before the official game started. Moreover, Zhao Zhen himself wanted to see how these teams and players entered the palace.

After half a month of intensive training, what kind of results will be achieved?

"In that case, I agreed." Zhao Zhen thought for a while and finally decided on the matter. The date was selected on the last two days of training, that is, the thirteenth and fourteenth days, for two games.

In the warm-up match, the teams competing in the second game were the Cao family and the Han family. As for the team in the first game, Zhao Zhen said that he would go to the training ground in person to see everyone's mental state and then select them. He also expressed his hope that

The Cao family and the Han family also called their teams to the training ground to show themselves.

Cao Yi and Han Yonghe naturally agreed.

Zhao Zhen continued: "This warm-up match is actually a large-scale examination. From the leader, to every team member, to the training instructors, referees, commentators, and even to me and Lu Yao, they are all the same

In the exam, if there is a problem in any part of the process, it will affect the final official competition, so it seems that this warm-up match is still very necessary."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" After hearing Zhao Zhen's remarks, some of the four people present finally let go of their heavy hearts, while others felt that the pressure seemed to be greater than before.

Once the emperor went to watch the battle in person, the team members might not feel anything at all, but the leaders were different, especially Cao Yi and Han Yonghe, who were in high positions.
