Chapter 265 Erwu appeared
On July 11 of the second year of Xianheng, just as all parties were wondering when Li Xian would be able to deal with one of He Lanmin's cases, Li Xian suddenly concluded the case with lightning speed, but did not go directly to Gaozong, but handed over all this chapter and even the official confessions to the political hall in the form of Mingzhang. The beginning and end of the case were made public to the world, and the political affairs hall also tacitly did not change a word. On the same day, they jointly signed this chapter of Li Xian and handed it over to Gao Zong for review, and the case became an irrevocable iron case. Although some of Gao Zong were reluctant to accept such a punishment, for this reason, he delayed for a few days. However, at the urging of the important ministers, he could only reluctantly issue an edict to correct the matter. In the case, the main criminal He Lanmin was removed from the title of Duke of Zhou and exiled to Leizhou; a large number of martial arts queens such as Hou Shanye and Jia Chaoyin were involved in the case. Party officials have fallen one after another, involving a large number of people, which can be said to have a far-reaching and extraordinary impact on the situation.
After handling such a big case, it should be regarded as a great credit. No matter what, it will be a good time. Even if it is not a celebration, it should be complacent. However, Li Xian obviously has no such a plan. Since he entered this chapter, he has applied for sick leave, not just not only to go. After the meeting, the court disputes did not even go to the early morning. The door did not come out, the two doors did not move in their own palace, and there was no sign of a rise for a whole month. With this disappearance, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and there is nothing to say about the celebration. There are still a few days left before the festival. Luoyang City is already a sea of joy. The family is full of lights and joy. Not only because the festival is approaching, but also because Emperor Gaozong issued an edict, saying that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be held. In addition to the royal team, the people can also participate in the selection of the polo event. The winner should be rewarded. As soon as this edict is issued, the Royal Polo Stadium in Xiyuan has been fully opened. There are events almost every day, and the people of the city can enjoy their eyes.
Polo originated in Persia, and then it was introduced to the Central Plains at the end of the Han Dynasty. It was widely spread in the Tang Dynasty. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the three generations of emperors have been polo enthusiasts, especially Taizong, who admired it. He often practiced it. Almost every year, several polo competitions are held to have fun with the people. As for Gao Zong, although because of his health Because of weakness, I rarely play games, but I like to watch polo games. Although the interest in holding large-scale events is not as enthusiastic as Taizong, it will always be held once every two or three years. If he is in good health, Gao Zong will definitely come to the scene and have fun with the people. In the past few years, due to his serious illness, Gao Zong has not held an event for four consecutive years. This year, because of the "treatment" of Ming Chongyan, Gao Zong felt good about himself. Only then did he have the idea of holding the event again. He told the world early. The scale of the event is unprecedented.
As the saying goes, if there is something good in the top, the bottom must be effective. Driven by three generations of emperors, polo can be said to be popular in the Tang Dynasty. From the top of the powerful to the general public, when it comes to polo, they are all the leaders. Of course, only those who can really afford to support the whole horse team are those extremely noble people. As for ordinary subjects, it is the most important. Let's participate. Most of today's polo players come from the army. Most of the 16th Guards are officers and soldiers in the registered teams for this ball game.
Li Xian's polo level is quite good, but it is not practiced in this life, but the ability saved in his previous life. In this life, he occasionally played a game with the royal guards in the small school field, which is used as a liaison, but he is not addicted to it. He didn't raise a horse team like other dignitaries. He didn't have any special thoughts about the polo game in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he didn't plan to join in the fun. Even the interested Li Xian had come several times, but Li Xian was still indifferent. Not to mention forming a team to participate in the competition, he didn't even want to watch the grand event during the game. It's nothing else, just because I handled the case more fiercely some time ago. No matter what, I have to avoid it, right? Besides, now that Li Xianzheng is highly used by Gao Zong and Wuhou, Li Xian doesn't want to steal Li Xian's limelight in public. It's better to hide from his own house and make a fortune. Such ideas are good, but unfortunately they can't be realized - just the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gao Zong suddenly gave Li Xian an edict about the polo game. It is a grand event to enjoy with the people, and there must be no need for no reason.
Such a will obviously has a bad taste, and there are some strange things inside, but Li Xian can't figure out the meaning behind Gao Zong's instructions for a while. But anyway, since Gao Zong has issued the decree, Xiyuan Li Xian has to go there anyway. Besides, he has been in his own house for so long. Although Li Xian is calm, he is also a little stuffy. There is nothing wrong with going out to breathe. In view of this, early in the morning, Li Xian led the government officials and a large group of maids in the room in more than a dozen carriages, and rushed to Xiyuan.
"Seventh brother, seven brother."
Li Xian arrived relatively early. When he arrived at the ground, it was just dawn, but compared with Li Xian, a polo fanatic, he was too late. Well, Li Xian had just stepped on the three-story pavilion he owned. Before he sat down, he heard a sound of the stairs. Li Xian The excited voice has come to my ears.
"Sixth brother, you are..."
Although Li Xian didn't really treat Li Xian very much in his heart, his face-to-faced kung fu could not be bad. Hearing this, Li Xian hurriedly greeted him to the top of the stairs. When he saw Li Xian's purple narrow-sleeved robe, he was wearing black boots, wearing a head, and holding a moon-shaped stick in his hand. Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned by the faction that he was about to appear.
"Why, is the seventh brother very strange? Haha, my brother personally led the team to win five games in a row to enter the top four. In today's game, my brother went to the championship. Don't forget to cheer for my brother. Looking at Li Xian's surprised eyes, Li Xian couldn't help laughing proudly and said a bold word.
"The sixth brother has this ambition. The younger brother should wave the flag for the sixth brother and wish the sixth brother a victory." Li Xian has never been concerned about this polo game. He didn't know the progress of the game. At this time, he saw that Li Xian was in high interest and couldn't pour cold water on him, so he followed Li Xian's words.
"Ha, then thank the seventh brother for his good words. If he can win and return, he will drink wine for his brother and drink with the seventh brother. Yo, the father is coming. Don't talk about it. Let's go and give it to his father and mother." Li Xianzhen spoke vigorously. There was a sudden sound of gongs and drums outside, but the holy driver had arrived. Li Xian did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly threw the ball stick in his hand to Zhang Che, who was closely following him. He waved his hand with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.
"Brother Six, please."
It was a big gift to welcome him. Li Xian did not dare to lose anything, so he waved his hand with a smile, went downstairs shoulder to shoulder with Li Xian, and rushed all the way to the gate of Xiyuan.
"I will see the emperor, and the queen!"
Strictly speaking, Gao Zong is not a poor luxury **/desire person. He is not too particular about enjoyment. However, after all, the travel of the emperor is not small. Even if the original intention of coming to Xiyuan this time is to have fun with the people, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers, eunuchs and even palace maids together. Wherever they go, they are on guard. There are only dozens of people who are extremely strict and can get close to the imperial driver. The vast majority of officials and even the people can only kneel down in the distance to greet them. It is more appropriate to disturb the people than to please the people.
"All your families are flat."
Gao Zong's interest was obviously very high. Hearing the tsunami-like sound of greetings outside, he immediately made the servants roll up the curtain of the car. Their waists were straight, waved their big hands, and shouted proudly, while the Empress Wu, who sat side by side with a high voice, smiled virtuously and looked around and knelt on the roadside with soft eyes. The military and civilian people are the demeanor of the mother of the world.
"Thank you, my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Li Xian, the king of Lu, is the highest person in the middle position such as the driver. Hearing Gao Zong's cry, he immediately took the lead to shout long live. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians did not dare to delay a little, and they shouted one after another. The waves were so loud that they rushed straight out of the sky.
Huh? These two bastards actually appeared, damn dog! Li Xian has participated in the pick-up drive for many times. He has been used to such a big scene for a long time. He answered and thanked him indifferently. He stood up indifferently and naturally turned his eyes to the place where the holy driver was, but suddenly found that there were two very familiar figures among the accompanying people. When he fixed his eyes, he immediately recognized it. The origin of the two people turned out to be the two scum, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi. As soon as their hearts sank, there was a flash of light in their eyes.
Li Xian in his previous life had a grudge against the children of Zhu Wu, and it was not an ordinary small hatred. It was a deep hatred that could not be washed away from the water of the three rivers. Not only public hatred, but also a deep private hatred. For this reason, in this life, Li Xian has tried to take advantage of the children of Zhuwu to get along quickly. Unfortunately, it is only It was only by the death of the Korean wife to remove Wu Youning, Wu Youde and other children of the martial arts family, but they have never been able to get rid of the first evil figures among the two martial arts children, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi. I have always felt deeply regret in my heart. At this time, seeing that the two bastards were mixed in the accompanying team, Li Xian's mood was 120,000 points. I'm not happy, but at this moment, no matter how much resentment there is, Li Xian doesn't dare to bring it to his face. After only glanced at the Wu brothers, he quickly turned his eyes and looked at Li Xian playing against Gao Zong and Wu Hou there with a smile, but his heart was already thinking quickly...
