The twenty-eight participating teams entered the competition field in high spirits and majestic manner.
This competition was jointly organized by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. Originally, there was no host, but because of Lin Yi's loudspeaker, Li Shimin decreed that the people should try their best to understand it, so he arrested one on the spot.
The temporary host is Wu Hua, a doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette. This Wu Hua can be regarded as a rugby fanatic.
Not only did he memorize the rules of rugby by heart, but he also broke down each rule and analyzed it as if it were broken into pieces. He was not only the host, but also the referee.
Originally, all the generals were familiar with the rules of the game and wanted to compete for the position of referee. However, the problem came. The generals did not trust other generals to serve as referees. Who would not favor his own soldiers?
So the result of the fight was that Wu Hua got the advantage.
He is the only one who is familiar with each team. His official position is not high and he has nothing to do now. It just happened to be a competition, so he was sent to contact each team. This gave him a chance to spend time on the court every day, and also
He carries a pen with him, takes notes, and knows each player well. He is truly a better referee.
Wu Hua stood on the high platform with a loudspeaker and introduced each team, making the emperor nod repeatedly. This is a talent.
The sharp-eyed officials knew by looking at the emperor's expression that this boy was about to get rich. Those with lower official positions thought about how to get close to him, while those with higher official positions also adjusted their attitudes and became more amiable and cheerful.
The first game started, and Lin Yi was sandwiched between Li Chengqian and Chang Le, cheering with them. The seven forwards on each side of the field collided with each other in an instant, and the four defenders on each side were like enemies.
Staring at each other. This is a competition in front of the emperor, and the emperor must see the combat effectiveness of their team.
As long as they dare to fight and leave an impression on the emperor, then in the future, the emperor will think of them first. So, are you afraid that there will be no chance of meritorious service? This is what the general said, and it is absolutely correct!
After watching two games, Li Shimin returned to the palace and took away Lin Yi who was shouting happily.
Boss Lin Yi was unhappy and was in the mood. It would be shameful to interrupt him.
But in front of so many ministers, he didn't dare to show it off, so he had to follow along obediently.
"Haha, what's wrong, Xiao Yi? Are you unhappy?" Returning to Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin turned around and met Lin Yi's depressed face.
"No, I was thinking about how to deal with Changle's request." Lin Yi took advantage of the situation and led Li Shimin's army.
"Uh... haha, you will definitely find a way." Li Shimin was really embarrassed when he mentioned this matter.
Lin Yi's face fell, his godfather was really a scoundrel.
"By the way, Xiaoyi. Can you think of any other games? I think this rugby is too barbaric and not suitable for ordinary people to play." Li Shimin thought about it.
"Godfather, why do you still want to play games for the public?" Lin Yi was a little confused.
"Didn't you see the scene today? Don't you think the people of Chang'an are united a lot? And the most important thing is that my children are not suitable for playing. You can't let them go on the field to collide?" Li Shimin said confidently.
of.
Lin Yi was speechless. After making a skateboard, he said the soldiers didn't have enough to play with, so he made rugby again. This time he said that the children had nothing to play with. If he made another one, what would he say?
"Then...Okay. Let me think of one more thing." In fact, Lin Yi wanted to hear what his excuse would be next time? So curiosity will kill the cat!
While Lin Yi was building water towers everywhere, Li Shimin was also very busy. He discussed with the ministers about re-formulating laws, and then enlisted the people to lay cement roads. Although it was a bit wasteful for people and money, it was something that had to be done. And his flying sky
The chariot has also settled in the fortress on the border. Every two days, soldiers will send people up to see the movements of the Turkic army and report to Chang'an at any time. Li Shimin will never forget the shame brought to him by the Weishui Alliance.
.
The Cheng Yaojin he sent to quell the rebellion went smoothly and has now returned with Li Yi's head.
On the way back home, Lin Yi was thinking, what kind of game is more suitable for people in the palace? Finally, he thought of the table tennis designed by his younger brother in his previous life. He was forced to play that kind of game twice.
, one stage, one person on each side, the fight is quite civilized, and should meet Li Shimin's requirements.
However, he still went home and made the sand table first. It happened that these days were spinning around the pass, and the terrain was almost memorized. Now that he made it, Li Shimin would open his eyes and see what a sand table is.
The rugby match lasted for five days, and Lin Yi was bored at home for five days. He spent three days making a sand table, and on the fourth day he started making table tennis balls, rackets and tables. He hired carpenters to make them. Only the balls were made by him.
I made it with tree fingers.
I made hundreds of them in one day and threw them all into the box.
On the day after the rugby game, Li Shimin stood on a high platform and gave an impassioned speech, casually giving a brainwashing education to the people. At this time, Lin Yi was carrying two carriages to the palace to move things.
What does it mean to be bitter? This is what is called bitterness!
While others played, he worked, with no rewards, no wages, no comfort, and no one even paying attention. Chang'an Avenue was almost empty. Not even a single person could be seen. This made Lin Yi feel even more desolate...
Lin Yi confronted the guard at the gate of the palace. The guard wanted to inspect his sand table, but he would not let it go even if he was killed. Both parties refused to give in, so they froze at the door. The emperor was not here, and someone went to report to Queen Changsun.
They are waiting for the results.
"Prince Lin, is that a new toy?" The guard approached Lin Yi with a smile. It was his duty to prevent him from entering the palace, but he admired Lin Yi's inventive ability.
He had inspected the table tennis table just now, and it was clearly something he had never seen before. I guess they were in luck again.
"Yes, I just made it." Lin Yi leaned against the palace door, chatting with the guards.
He felt bored, but the guard was very excited. He was looking forward to the new toy.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, please come in." A young eunuch hurried over to deliver the message.
Lin Yi nodded, waved to Li Ran and Fang Yan, and followed him into the palace in his car.
They didn't stop until they reached the Li Zheng Hall.
Li Ran and Fang Yan each stood on one side of the carriage, their eyes guarding the guards. The young master said that no one could look at the thing covered by the cloth except with the emperor's permission.
"Xiaoyi, you are here. What did you get this time? Even the guards at the palace gate are not allowed to check." Empress Changsun routinely asked Xiaocui to take all the people who were serving her out, and then Xiaocui felt very conscious.
was guarding the door.
"It's a sand table. It wouldn't be good if they saw it." Lin Yi had no intention of hiding it from his godmother.
Empress Changsun nodded in understanding. Now her belly had swelled, and she was half leaning on the sofa with a peaceful expression.
"Come, sit with your godmother and wait until your godfather comes back." Queen Changsun patted the seat next to her.
"Godmother, how are you doing lately?" Lin Yi sat down and asked.
"It's pretty good. Sun Zhenren often comes to the palace to diagnose my mother's pulse. He said that the child is very healthy." Empress Changsun covered her belly with a motherly look.
"I heard from Gao Ming, are you engaged?"
"Yes." Lin Yi replied dully, he really wanted to strangle that big mouth to death.
"I heard it was a misunderstanding?"
"Yes." Lin Yi was embarrassed.
"I heard it was forced?"
Lin Yi was speechless and just looked at his godmother with protesting eyes. Are all women such gossips?
"Haha..." Empress Changsun covered her mouth and laughed. Xiaoyi was too cute. So she was forced to get engaged like this? Fortunately, she was not the head wife, otherwise even she would have objected.
At this time, Lin Yi was really looking forward to his godfather coming back soon so that he could be relieved as soon as possible. His godmother was really terrible.
"Mother, mother..." Changle's voice came from far away.
"Haha, this Changle is really getting more and more unruly." Empress Changsun stood up, stroking her waist, and Lin Yi also helped.
"Mother, it's such a pity that you didn't go today. The final between the Eagles and the Cheetahs was so exciting!" Changle ran in excitedly with a blushing face.
"Ahem... Are there any rules anymore? How can I still look like a princess when I run like this?" Lin Yi lowered his voice with childlike innocence and pretended to be an adult to lecture Chang Le.
Changle just ran in, and she was scolded before she could see who it was. She quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake. In her heart, she must be some master, otherwise no one else would dare to scold her. But why is this voice so unfamiliar?
?Which master is he?
"Haha..." His mother's laughter came from the side.
Chang Le looked up in confusion and found that there were only Queen Mother and Lin Yi in front of him. No need to ask, the sound just now must have been made by Brother Yi.
"Wow, Brother Yi, you are so promising, you dare to bully your sister..." Chang Le chased after Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also ran after her in the house. With his speed, Chang Le would not be able to catch up even if he was exhausted.
Empress Changsun looked at it with a smile. Such a lively child made her feel a lot happier.
"What are you doing? Running around the house, I'm not afraid of bumping into your mother." Li Shimin was originally going back to Ganlu Palace, but he got the news that Lin Yi entered the palace with two carriages, one of which was not allowed to be used.
Check, so curiosity drove him here.
"Father..." Changle was afraid of being scolded, so he hurried to Li Shimin's side and acted coquettishly.
"Haha, look at how sweaty you are from running. It's okay no matter how you run, Xiao Yi. You have to be more careful. What if you bump into your mother or hurt yourself?" Li Shimin took out a handkerchief and gave it to his beloved.
The daughter wiped her sweat.
Chang Le stuck out his tongue playfully and let his father wipe his sweat thoughtfully, not forgetting to glare at Lin Yi secretly.
Lin Yi shrugged innocently, earning an angry expression from Changle.
"Haha, okay, you two men...just go and get down to business. We, mother and daughter, just have a few words to say in private. Let's go quickly, let's go quickly..." Empress Changsun began to drive people away.
Li Shimin was pushed out helplessly and glared at Lin Yi beside him.
"It's all your fault, otherwise how could Maid Guanyin chase me out?"
Lin Yi was stunned, what does this have to do with him? In other words, when Li Shimin didn't come, the three of them were having a good time! dd
