Tsk, this idiot Lao Liu can't handle such a small thing well. He is really a helpless man! Seeing that the situation on the field has become one-sided, and listening to the noisy cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, Li Xian
He shook his head with a wry smile, and secretly scolded Li Xian until he was bloody. Although he was impatient, there was nothing he could do about it. It was just that it was not yet the intermission, so even if Li Xian wanted to go into battle in person, he couldn't.
There is really no other way to think about the opportunity except waiting.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Waiting is undoubtedly a kind of torture, even for Li Xian, who is calm by nature. Fortunately, the gong for halftime finally rang, and the score was finally fixed at five to one. There is no doubt that the Wu brothers did not
They didn't save any face for Li Xian. This was no longer a competition, but a blatant slap in Li Xian's face. This was obviously a dangerous signal. Perhaps in Empress Wu's view, with the arrival of the children of the Wu family, there was no need to use Li Xian.
Xian is a chess piece to contain the prince. In this way, the time for Empress Wu to finally deal with the prince will not be delayed for too long.[..com]
It is not that the prince cannot die. In Li Xian's view, although Li Hong is still wise, unfortunately his "nature" has changed. As far as the inheritance of the country is concerned, he is no longer a qualified heir. In some senses, he
His death may be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, but the prince cannot die too early, at least before Li Xian's shield has matured. Li Xian still needs the prince to contain the increasing pressure of Empress Wu.
Inflated ambitions, and this requires Li Xian to step forward and severely suppress the arrogance of the Wu children, at least not to allow the Wu family children to rise to the court too smoothly, starting from the polo field should be a good place
Choice, as for Empress Wu's jealousy, Li Xian didn't care at all. There were too many lice on his left and right bodies, so he didn't itch.
"I'm so angry, you're a bunch of trash!"
After a burst of heavy footsteps at the top of the stairs, a gray-faced Li Xian appeared on the third floor of "Biyun Pavilion" and slammed the polo club in his hand to the ground. No matter how panicked his wives were,
He strode into the small cubicle where Li Xian was, sat down, and cursed angrily.
It’s so funny that this guy himself mismanaged his command, but blamed others for their incompetence! Li Xian had long seen that the reason for the frequent mistakes of the Luwang team was due to Li Xian’s poor on-the-spot command ability, but what?
He didn't intend to point it out on the spot, but smiled and comforted him by saying: "Brother Six, don't worry, as long as I'm here, we can't lose this game!"
"That's true, but how should we repay this name?"
Li Xian had always been convinced of Li Xian's ability. When he heard that Li Xian was going to fight in person, he was delighted, but when he thought that Li Xian was not on his list, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"It's okay. Sixth Brother sent someone to find the referee and tell him that someone in the team injured his leg and couldn't play. He needs to replace someone and let the younger brother take over." Li Xian responded confidently.
"Is this... possible? From my father's side..."
The finalists had all been personally reviewed by Gao Zong, and if they were to be replaced halfway through, they would naturally have to pass Gao Zong's test. Li Xian obviously didn't have much hope for this.
"It's okay. Sixth Brother just sends someone to report it. Father will definitely make it right."
Li Xian was a person who couldn't hide things in his heart. Li Xian was unwilling to inform him of Gaozong's psychology, so he acted enigmatic and said with a smile.
"Well, let's give it a try." Li Xian looked at Li Xian suspiciously. Seeing that Li Xian was unwilling to explain more, he couldn't keep asking more questions, so he responded obligingly,
He immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Zhang Che!"
"My slave is here."
Hearing the noise, Zhang Che, who had been waiting in the outer hall for a long time, did not dare to be negligent and trotted into the compartment, bowing respectfully and promising.
"Go, tell the chief executive and tell him that someone here is injured, and he needs to be replaced by his seventh brother."
Li Xian was half-convinced about what Li Xian said. After hesitating for a while, he reluctantly spoke.
"Ah, yes, slave, I obey."
Upon hearing what Li Xian said, Zhang Che couldn't help but be stunned, his mouth opened wide, and when he saw Li Xian's eyes widened impatiently, he didn't dare to delay any more, so he hurriedly answered and hurriedly
He rushed downstairs and rushed to the referee's office...
"... Xian'er's tactical choice is obviously wrong. He always wants to rush to the end without passing the ball, but he doesn't know how to adapt. If he continues like this, I think Xian'er will be in danger..."
Emperor Gaozong himself was not very good at polo, but his ability to watch the game was extremely high. When commenting on the first half of the game, he had the ability of a later commentator. When talking about the technical and tactical performance of both sides, it was like water from the Yellow River rising from the sky.
, he was talking endlessly, making various wonderful remarks one after another. Just when he was talking about the exciting point, he saw a young eunuch hurriedly ran forward, bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, I am the judge on duty.
Cui Yi, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, is here and says he has something important to report."
"Oh? Announce it."
Gaozong's conversation was interrupted, and he felt a little unhappy. His face froze slightly, but he didn't say anything else. He just raised his hand and simply responded.
"Yes, I obey your order."
Seeing the displeasure on Gaozong's face, the young eunuch did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly responded and ran downstairs. Without counting his breath, he accompanied a middle-aged official from the stairs.
come out.
"I would like to bow to Your Majesty, to the Queen, and to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Cui Yi came from a good family, and was a descendant of the famous Qinghe Cui family. He became an official in the second year of Yonghui, but his official career was very average. He worked in various places for many years, but never made any big progress. The reason why he was selected this time
Entering the imperial court as an official was a blessing due to the defeat of Empress Wu's party. However, the official position was still not high, and he was not qualified to go to the imperial court, and he could rarely get close to the sky. At this time, he walked into the pavilion with trepidation.
When they arrived in front of Gaozong, they were a little panicked. The greeting was quite respectful, but the etiquette was all wrong. They even saluted Gaozong, Empress Wu and the prince in one breath.
"Excuse me, why is Cui Aiqing so anxious to see me?"
Emperor Gaozong was originally quite displeased because the conversation was interrupted, but when he saw Cui Yi saluting so carelessly, he couldn't help but smile. However, he didn't care too much about it, and just raised his hand with a smile, which was quite gentle.
He asked.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Lu said that someone in his team was injured and could no longer play. He asked for someone else to take his place, Wei Chen, this, Wei Chen..." Gaozong tried his best to be pleasant, but Cui Yi still found it hard to
Suppressing the panic in his heart, he stammered and spoke in a slurred manner.
"Since Aiqing is the chief judge, you can just consider the matter and handle it. Why do you need to come and ask me?"
When Gaozong heard that Cui Yi was talking about such a trivial matter, he immediately became a little unhappy. Before Cui Yi could finish his words, he waved his hand and answered impatiently.
"Your Majesty, it is clear to you that it is not the humble minister who is shirking his responsibilities, but the person who is to be replaced by His Royal Highness King Lu is His Royal Highness, the King of England. The humble minister really does not dare to make the decision, so please make a clear decision."
Seeing Gaozong's downcast face, Cui Yi immediately became anxious. He knelt up without hesitation and explained in a hurried tone.
"Um?"
Upon hearing what Cui Yi said, Gao Zongdeng was stunned, frowned slightly, and said softly, but did not give a clear answer.
"Xian'er is fooling around and has never cooperated. If he suddenly forms a team, he will lose more than he loses. He will lose face to the Tian family."
Empress Wu's mind was sharp, and she already knew what Li Xian was going to do as soon as she heard it. Her face immediately darkened, and before Gaozong could speak, she immediately interjected from the side and finished the sentence in one breath.
"Queen mother, please calm down. Polo matches are a grand event for the people to enjoy together. Winning or losing is not important. It is only about entertainment. It is rare that the seventh brother wants to show off his skills. I think I will just watch it for now. I am happy to win and happy to lose. You might as well let the seventh brother
It doesn’t matter if it’s just a joke, but this is just my humble opinion, please ask my father to judge it.”
Empress Wu was shrewd, and the prince was not stupid either. When I first learned that Empress Wu secretly arranged for the four martial arts to appear, I already guessed that Empress Wu wanted to make use of her relatives.
When he came on stage, he quickly guessed what Li Xian was thinking. He was not willing to let Empress Wu destroy it so easily. Then he stood up with a smile and faced Gaozong who was sitting side by side. Empress Wu bowed and said politely
Di expressed different opinions on Empress Wu's assertion.
"Well, what Mei Niang said is true, and Hong'er's words are also quite polite. Since Xian'er is going to play, I can't stop him. So, just pass on my instructions and let Xian'er come on, and he will win.
Well, if you lose, I will just ask, and the matter will be settled!"
Emperor Gaozong had no intention of calling Li Xian to Xiyuan this time, but he really didn't expect that Li Xian would take action so eagerly in the competition. At this time, seeing that the prince and Empress Wu had different opinions, one of them was handled improperly.
Then, fearing that this grand event would turn into an embarrassment, I had no choice but to make a final decision.
"Father, the Holy Ming."
Whether it is Zhu Wu's disciples or Li Xian, the prince dislikes them extremely. He doesn't care who wins or loses. As long as there is a head-on conflict between the two sides, it will be the result that the prince likes to see. At this time, when he heard Gaozong say this
, the prince would not help Li Xian soften his cheeks, but took the lead in praising him loudly.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Empress Wu herself had never played polo, but she had watched it a lot with Gaozong, and she was somewhat knowledgeable. In order to arrange for Si Wu to come forward, Empress Wu arranged for Zhu Wu to join the participating officers and soldiers of the Yulin Army a month in advance.
After practicing together in secret for a long time, we now have a tacit cooperation on the scene. Now with a four-goal lead, Empress Wu does not believe that Li Xian alone can beat Wang Kuanglan. If this matter can be used to severely suppress Li Xian,
Empress Wu was very happy to see it, so after praising her, she shut her mouth tightly and stopped expressing any opinions on the matter...
