Today's Cuju competition can be said to be a climax. When Emperor Zhao Zhen arrived, it was the first climax. After all, not all the people in Bianliang City, and the inner city alone, could see the emperor.
It's true, not to mention the people in the outer city. Zhao Zhen can be said to know very little about this situation in the outer city. He was also on the way here, and he saw the hundreds of things in life from the sedan chair.
However, generally speaking, the Song Dynasty has developed well since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, the people are also willing to believe that Zhao Zhen wants to change the current appearance.
The situation in the city was determined, so before the game officially started, the excitement was already aroused. Even the emperor condescended to come from the palace to the Bird's Nest Stadium to watch the game. It must be a very powerful event.
, even if they don’t understand it, these people think so in their hearts.
The majesty of the kings of the Northern Song Dynasty was slightly different from that of other dynasties. In vertical comparison, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were relatively close to the people. This is why Zhao Zhenhui was more loved by the people. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor did not choose to celebrate the Lantern Festival on this day.
Go out of the palace in person, go to private restaurants or even roadside stalls to eat delicious food, because as an emperor, you still have to pay attention to your identity. But it does not mean that after the lantern show is over, he can't dress up in disguise
Mix in among the people and enjoy the life of ordinary people spending the Lantern Festival.
However, even if the emperor cannot go out of the palace to eat delicious food with the people, he can still use another method to shorten the distance between him and the people, that is, by watching the lantern show together and having fun with the people. This is actually
A good approach to people.
Before the Lantern Festival comes, the subjects of the Song Dynasty will make full preparations in Beijing, decorating the city and roads, so that the emperor and the people can experience the strong festive atmosphere on the day of the Lantern Festival. Regarding the joy of the emperor and the people in the Song Dynasty,
Watching the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival together, there is such a record in the Northern Song Dynasty's treasure book "Tokyo Menghualu": "On the 16th, I couldn't drive out, I came in early and left early, I came to the door to perform music, rolled up the curtains, and took my throne to the pavilion, announcing the surname Wan.
.Those who arrive first at the door can still see the sky. They are wearing small hats and red robes, and are wearing only Zhuozhuo. There are attendants on the left and right, and people holding umbrellas and fans outside the curtains. After a moment, they lower the curtains, and they are enjoying themselves, and thousands of people can enjoy it. The two towers face each other:
The left tower is opposite, and King Yun is in charge of the colorful tents; the right tower is opposite, and Grand Master Cai is in charge of the Qili palace."
In this record, we can see from "The throne is near the Xuan, the surname Wan is announced. Those who arrive first can still see the sky" and the "King Yun" in the left building and "Taishi Cai" in the right building, we can see that the Song Dynasty
Every year during the Lantern Festival, the emperor would choose a fixed time period to watch the "Lantern Festival Party" in front of Xuande Gate with all the important ministers in the court and the female relatives in the palace.
As long as the common people go early, seize the opportunity and occupy the front position, they can have a glimpse of the emperor's style.
One of the characteristics of the Lantern Festival in the Song Dynasty is that it is very lively. However, there is a time limit for the opening of the lantern festival in front of Xuande Gate. After all, the emperor has to be busy with business every day and is in serious health and cannot stay up late, so the lantern festival ends in front of Xuande Gate.
After that, they will return to the palace to rest. But the Lantern Festival night life for the common people has just begun.
However, even if the emperor only stood in front of Xuande Gate for a quarter of an hour, he was still enjoying himself with the people.
If you follow the etiquette requirements, the emperors of the Song Dynasty had a very grand ceremony when they traveled, and the most important part of it was the "Jialu Book". The Jialu Book is divided into big Jialu Book, Fajia Book, and small Jialu Book
There are three types of chariot books. In the beginning, chakra books were used to protect the emperor's safety. However, as the rule of the Song Dynasty gradually stabilized, cha cha bra books began to transition from protecting the emperor's safety to displaying royal majesty.
If the royal family uses such a large-scale honor guard, it usually means that the emperor is going out to preside over heaven-sacrifice activities. "Song Shizhi" records: "Every grand chariot uses 26,000 people."
According to the requirements of the Book of Rites, it seems that the travel of the emperor of the Song Dynasty can indeed show the majesty of the emperor and the royal family. The honor guard of more than 10,000 people is a very grand scene when you think about it. A large number of people means that
Common people had almost no chance to see the emperor from a distance. However, etiquette was etiquette. In reality, the emperors of the Song Dynasty did not have such a large ceremony when traveling.
In the "Tongkao of Documents", there is this record about the ceremonial guard used by Renzong in the Song Dynasty: "The driver of the car is lucky, and there are many gifts and books in the non-suburban temple. He usually guides people, but there is a driving head in front and an umbrella and fan behind him.
That’s all, it’s nowhere near as grand as the mention of the ministers mentioned in the previous canon.”
Of course, in addition to this, do the common people need to kneel down to greet the emperor's honor guard? No.
"His attendants and hundreds of officials, down to the servants, are all walking on the road...the groups of powerful cavalry are quite far away from the chariots, and the scholars and common people are watching, leading the people with the retinue, riding on the road.
As we walked, we couldn't help but make noises. There were flag pavilions and market buildings that were covered by hanging curtains. The people and the people looked down from above, so don't be afraid. Luo Si, the street envoy, was calm and did not stop. He gave orders and relaxed, and it was common for him to play."
Where the emperor passed by, the retinues "ran along the road and couldn't help shouting", the scholars and the people "looked down from above, don't be afraid", and the small officials along the street "were not calm, but relaxed their orders and played with each other."
", the picture really doesn't look serious at all. The common people will even "climb high and look into the distance" to peek at the sky. However, the small officials who were supposed to drive away these onlookers acted like they were used to big scenes and were not interested in this kind of scene.
The scene is commonplace.
Here, let alone the people kneeling down to the emperor, they don't even need to bow. All you need to do is bring a pair of eyes to watch the excitement.
However, when the emperor goes out, the people, from the emperor down to the accompanying officials, are looked at like monkeys, which still looks unsightly. If the emperor is too close to the people, the majesty of the royal family will not be revealed at all. Who else can be included?
I don’t know if any of the people who sneaked in to watch the fun have evil intentions. If the Holy Master is frightened, it will cause consequences that many people cannot afford!
Therefore, some officials proposed the need to amend the regulations in this regard in view of the behavior of the common people "looking down from above, and not to be afraid", so as to achieve the purpose of "showing respect from above, and preventing problems from happening below". So the common people at that time
It loses the meaning of "running along the same road, shouting without restraint" and "looking down from above, don't worry about it"

"Senior" qualification.
Is one of the main manifestations of the emperor of the Song Dynasty's closeness to the people that he exempted the people from kneeling down on the street? In fact, not only the common people, but also the officials of the court did not need to kneel down when welcoming the emperor.
According to "Meng Liang Lu": "The car is approaching, and there are six officials on the left and right, each riding a horse and holding a silk whip. The military officer leads the way to the living pavilion of the official residence and shouts: "Bow down, don't bow.
Sing the song "Nai" and stand up straight, perform the holy bow and chant "Hail the Holy Blessings". "Sing the song and walk."
Don't bow down, but stand up straight while singing "Nai". This is actually the ancient standard salute!
In other words, people in the Song Dynasty, whether they were common people or officials, did not have the consciousness to kneel down to greet the emperor no matter what the occasion. Even the emperor himself did not rely on others to kneel down to him to show off.
The nobility of one's own emperor shows the other party's surrender to oneself.
After such a comparison, we will find that compared with other dynasties in Chinese history, the emperors of the Song Dynasty can be said to be very close to the people. It is precisely because of the rule of such people-friendly emperors that the Song Dynasty became a
A dynasty with highly prosperous economy and culture. Whether it was the early Tang Dynasty or the later Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the control over the economy was relatively strict, and the control over people's ideology was also increasingly strengthened.
Therefore, what a feudal dynasty will eventually develop is closely related to the various policies adopted by the rulers at that time. A group of emperors were close to the people, so the people under his rule were more willing to enjoy life. The Song Dynasty was
This kind of Song Dynasty is contradictory and charming.
If the first wave of climax was Zhao Zhen, which was the sensation caused when the emperor met with the people, then the second wave of climax was the powerful shock that the people received after buying tickets and entering the venue. When did these people of the Northern Song Dynasty meet?
They had never seen such a building without a roof, which was beyond their imagination. Of course, in addition to this, the venue used for the competition and the five or six hundred spectator seats have also been
They were stunned. Not only that, Emperor Zhao Zhen was also in the stadium, which meant that they could watch the game with the emperor. In the eyes of these people, this was a scene that was completely unbelievable.
They were both physically and mentally shocked by the impact of the Bird's Nest Stadium. At the same time, it also made them more interested in today's game.
Therefore, this third wave, which was the last wave of momentum before the start of the game, came with the commentary voices of Su Shi and Su Che. When the voices of Su Shi and Su Che were heard, everyone present, from Emperor Zhao Zhen to
The real organizer Lu Yao, as well as the two teams of contestants Chen Chen and Wang Da, as well as all the spectators who came to watch the game, all had varying degrees of fluctuations in their hearts.
After working for so long, the game finally started smoothly, and looking at the situation today, it should be a lively game and leave a deep impression on all the spectators. This is what Lu Yao is thinking.
Su Shi and Su Che introduced the relevant information of this Cuju competition to the people in the most concise language. Naturally, they put the emperor's original intention of holding this competition at the end.
"I just introduced you to the situation of this new Cuju competition, but what I want to say next is that the reason why the emperor held this competition is to improve the physical fitness of all the people of the Song Dynasty, so that we can
Everyone in Song Dynasty’s physique and endurance have reached a new level.”
"I believe that after watching today's game, everyone will be attracted by the New Cuju Competition. After this competition, everyone can also conduct new Cuju training on their own. I believe that everyone's physical strength and
Your endurance will be improved. These are the two original intentions of the Emperor in organizing this competition, and the second original intention is to have fun with the people."
After Su Shi and Su Che said this, they looked at Zhao Zhen in the distance.
Zhao Zhen naturally heard the speeches of these two people, and then stood up from his chair and waved to the audience present. He knew that everyone's focus now was on him.
Lu Xu and Yan Shu on the side were also discussing quietly.
"Sir Xiao Lu is really amazing. He was able to invite brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe to give commentary. Since these two are great talents, their eloquence must be the same. This opening statement is really great."
Although Yan Shu was the prime minister, he had only heard Zhao Zhen talk about the new Cuju competition in the court before. Because he was really not very interested in this Cuju at the time. Therefore, later, the two warm-up games
Yan Shu didn't watch any of the games, so naturally he didn't know about the trio of Bao Zheng as referees and Su Shi and Su Che as commentators.
Listening to these two people today, they have instantly aroused the emotions of the audience. Yan Shu believes that after this Cuju competition is over, Cuju will become a sport that has spread to every common person's home. By then,
It can really enhance the overall military strength and national power.
Lu Xu always accepted the praises of other ministers for his son. After listening to Yan Shu's words, he said to himself: "In terms of selecting personnel, Lu Yao did a good job. Let Bao Zheng and the other three upright people do the job."
The referee, while the two eloquent brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe serve as commentators."
While Yan Shu agreed, he was thinking about other things. Lu Yao knows people well and uses them well. Wang Anshi was also recommended to him by Lu Yao. In addition, Wang Anshi's method of promoting peace through war was also very wonderful. See
Come on, Lu Yao does have his own uniqueness in recommending and employing talents. If a person like this is just to be a minor official, it is really meaningless.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and after sitting down, the audience gradually became quiet. In fact, they didn't know why. Originally they just entered the scene with the mentality of watching the fun, but now, one by one has become like this
I am a die-hard fan of the New Cuju Competition. I have to say that Su Shi and Su Che played a very key role in it.
The two talked for a while, and Katsuyuki also arranged all the work on site and came to the explanation desk.
Seeing this, Su Shi and Su Che thought that they should be able to rest for a while, so they introduced Zhe Kexing to everyone. After the three of them had finished their introductions, the competition entered the formal process. "Today, it's our new Cuju competition.
first official
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
On the match day, although there is only one game to be played, it is also the game that I am most interested in." Su Che was the first to speak, and what he said was true at all. He was indeed paying close attention to this game the most.
Su Shi echoed from the side and said: "Yes, after all, the Royal Cuju Team and the Huangtian Team are here today. Everyone must be looking forward to it."
As soon as I heard the words "Royal Cuju Team", there was some commotion at the scene again. It can be seen that the Royal Cuju Team still has a certain status in the hearts of the people. After all, before the new Cuju Competition appeared, Cuju was very important to the people.
It is a sport that can only be played by nobles and wealthy families. The Royal Cuju Team in the palace basically only holds exhibition matches every year and festival, and of course it is hard to get a ticket. Therefore, if you want to see the performance of the Royal Cuju Team
It is not an easy thing. Therefore, the people who especially cherish the opportunity to see Wang Da and his performance will naturally make a slightly personal compliment about what they saw and felt. After this back and forth, Wang Da and Wang Yi's
The Royal Cuju Team naturally became famous.
"However, in the final analysis, this new Cuju is not the same as the Cuju performed before. As for the specific differences, please tell us, Mr. Katsuyuki."
Just like the commentary for the warm-up match, Su Shi and Su Che are responsible for the atmosphere. When it comes to professionalism, it is still up to Zhe Kexing to explain the difference between this new Cuju and the previous performances.
At the end of Zhe Kexing's explanation, he did not forget to say that although there have been huge changes in the nature and playing style, the players of the Royal Sky Team are definitely better than Chen Chen in terms of experience, physical fitness and professionalism.
After all, the grassroots team has a foundation there.
What Zhe Katsuyuki said can actually be regarded as his own pre-match prediction.
"Master Ori feels that in this match, the Huangtian team is indeed stronger."
"Yes," Zhe Kexing said, "This is true in terms of the strength of the team. But I believe that Chen Chen and his grassroots team will not sit still and wait for death."
Off the court, Wang Da and Chen Chen were listening to their explanations. Wang Da smiled slightly and said to himself that even though Zhe Kexing was Chen Chen's good friend, he now said in a very subtle way that he was actually more optimistic about the Huangtian team.
, then Chen Chen really has no chance at all.
As for Chen Chen, he was still communicating with the players about tactics and did not react at all to this pre-match prediction. Not only Chen Chen, but also all the players in the grassroots team looked like this.
"The two of us have the same idea as Master Zhe Katsuyuki. It is true that the Huangtian team has a higher probability of winning. I don't know if everyone thinks so too. Have you ever placed any bets on the Huangtian team's victory?"
The three commentators then chatted for a while, and the introduction to the venue, duration, substitutions, etc. was given by Katsuyuki Zhejiang. After two warm-up matches, the rules of the official game have also been adjusted compared to that time. Substitution quotas
It has been increased to 6 people, and the first and second halves have been extended by a quarter of an hour. That is, the regular game time of the new Cuju competition is no different from that of football. Moreover, the number of substitutions has also been increased, and there will be more substitutions for representatives.
Bringing more tactical changes. Finally, each team is now composed of fifteen people, instead of the previous team with only thirteen people. Now the number of people in each team is the same.
"Will the increase in the number of personnel and the change in substitutions bring changes to this official competition?" Su Shi said.
The staff on Zhe Kexing's side and below confirmed with gestures that Wang Da and Chen Chen's teams were ready.
Zhe Kexing told the two commentators next to him the news. Su Shi and Su Zhe saw this and said: "Okay, let's not talk much. Let's first introduce the two teams that are playing today and the starting lineup.
team members.”
"The first thing I want to introduce is of course the Huangtian Team. As everyone knows, the predecessor of this team is the Royal Cuju Team. Although not all the members of the Royal Cuju Team have been retained, the team captain Wang Da and the deputy captain Wang Yi
, are all strong players, and with more than half of the original members of the Royal Cuju Team, I believe their strength must be extraordinary."
Su Shi introduced like this. After the general introduction, it was time to introduce the starting players. Cheers could be heard in the audience. It seems that the popularity of the Royal Cuju team is indeed relatively high.
Lu Yao, at this time, was watching the game with Pan Wen and the leaders of several other teams in the exclusive rest area. Pan Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard the starting players of the Huangtian team, and then said: "Wang Yi didn't even start.
Appearing on the stage? This is quite strange."
Cao You on the side also said: "There are two possibilities. The first is that the Huangtian team doesn't take the grassroots team seriously at all, so Wang Yi doesn't even have to play, they can win the grassroots team. But..."
Lu Yao said from the side: "But this game is a knockout system. As long as you lose one game, you will have no chance to come back. Therefore, even if they look down on the grassroots team, Wang Yi will still play. The emperor is here,
No one wants to have an accident."
Cao You nodded and said: "Yes, that is the second possibility, because they know that Chen Chen is a player and coach of the grassroots team, so Wang Yi wants to do the same as Chen Chen in the warm-up match, first observe on the bench for a while,
Then the possibility of playing again is higher."
As soon as Cao You finished speaking, the introduction of the players of the Huangtian team on the field was also finished. Then, it was time to introduce the players of the grassroots team. What no one expected was that Chen Chen appeared directly on the starting list.
"It seems that Chen Chen really wants to win this game." Pan Wen said, "He starts the game directly, which has advantages and disadvantages. Once Wang Yi finds the weakness of the grassroots team on the bench, it will not be good.
Done."
"What we can do now is to believe in Chen Chen and watch the game carefully."
Su Shi, Su Che, and Zhe Kexing all have their own ideas about the starting lineup of both sides. Maybe they can still think of it if Wang Yi doesn't play, but Chen Chen, as a coach, will start today, which may make the grassroots team in the future
fell into a passive situation in the game.
Then, the players from both sides shook hands and greeted each other. Obviously Wang Da did not expect Chen Chen to start the game.
