Chapter 69 Rewards
The players were not discouraged and continued to chase Ye Xi. When the No. 9 striker of Chengfu team saw it, he also rushed forward and blocked Ye Xi. Ye Xi flashed, shook past No. 9, and continued to move forward quickly. In a flash, he arrived at the midfield. The members of Chaifu team surrounded him again. Ye Xi rushed left and right, and ran three or four meters away from the siege. Ye Xixin made a leap forward, and with the help of running inertia, he raised his right foot and volleyed the ball and kicked the ball out. This kick was a bit incredible. When the ball flew out, it soared into the sky like a rocket. The height was not what a long shot should be.
Not only that, he also ran a deviant direction, which made people feel that Ye Xi was not shooting, but passing the ball to the side.
However, the ball seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope. After reaching the highest point, it turned strongly at an angle and flew straight towards the goal.
This sudden change made the Chai Mansion goalkeeper stunned for a few seconds. He hurriedly reached out to block it, but the ball flew quickly to the upper right corner of the goal and fell into the goal. The angle was breathtaking.
In an instant, the audience applauded thunderously, and they had long forgotten that Li Shimin was also watching the football, cheering and shouting.
Li Shimin couldn't help but clapped and praised: "It's really the foot of God!"
Then he asked Li Ke: "Li Ke, what is the name of the player who scored the goal just now?"
Li Ke stood up and replied, "Report to my father, his name is Ye Xi, and he is the captain of the Dinghan Team in my mansion."
After saying that, Li Ke secretly looked at Li Shimin. Seeing his eyebrows and smiled, Li Ke was secretly happy. It seemed that Li Shimin was satisfied with the Cuju competition.
Li Chengqian saw it and jealously called Li Ke despicable. Although Li Tai was jealous and hated Li Ke, he did not show it on his face and watched the game with a smile.
Concubine Yang's eyes were full of love, and she was proud of Li Ke's doing such a grand thing.
But when she saw Li Chengqian's gaze, her heart tightened. As the saying goes, a tree attracts wind, and Concubine Yang began to worry about Li Ke.
The game continued on the court, and the more Li Shimin watched, the more he felt it was good. The players of the two teams seemed to know Li Shimin's mind. By the end of the game, Dinghan team scored two more goals, one by Ye Xi headed the ball in the penalty area, and the other was Xu Jie scored from the wing. Chaifu team's Tengchong also took advantage of the fact that Dinghan team's defender was a little relaxed, winning a valuable point for Chengfu team.
Dinghan team defeated Chengfu team three-to-one.
At the end of the game, Li Shimin said unsatisfiedly: "This is the first time I have seen such a game, it's worth the trip." Feng Deyi, who was following Li Shimin, did not forget to praise Li Ke's ability, while Changsun Wuji was surprisingly not opposed. To be honest, he did not dare to refute Feng Deyi and wipe out Li Shimin's nature at such a time.
Other officials such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others are quite satisfied with the new Cuju.
Among them, some people from the Tang Dynasty military also like the new Cuju competition.
Li Ke hurriedly said: "Father, this is just a drill competition, the purpose is to promote the new Cuju. Next, the Chang'an City Competition planned by Cuju will begin. The competition will be even more exciting than this. At that time, please ask your father to watch the competition."
"Okay! I will definitely go back and watch."
Li Shimin smiled and patted Li Ke on the shoulder, then called Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and said to them: "I see Cuju not only interesting, but also strengthening my body. I heard that you two have also formed a Cuju team, so let's promote the new Cuju movement with Li Ke."
Li Chengqian took the lead and said: "Report to Father, the Erchen team has been formed, and training is being stepped up these days."
Li Tai said obediently: "Father, in order to support the third brother's Cuju game, my son will definitely supervise the team's training seriously."
Li Shimin said to the generals behind him: "I have seen the new Cuju method, which has a lot of exercise and strong confrontation, and has low requirements for the venue and personnel, so it can be popularized in the army."
The generals behind him, such as Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, the Right Guard General, and Zhang Shigui, the Right Leader General, all nodded and said yes.
Then he looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai in front of him and said, "Well, you two are doing a good job."
He looked at the two of them with praise, then turned his eyes to Li Ke, and said to the three of them earnestly: "You are all my princes. You must help each other in your work in the future and unite as one."
"My son remembers the teachings of the father!"
The three of them answered obediently.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with the answers of the three.
Then I asked Li Ke: "I want to meet Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui, who can organize such a wonderful competition, who is in charge of Cuju, your mansion."
Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui were not far away. When they heard Li Shimin wanting to see them, they immediately walked over and saluted and said, "The prince's palace is Bo and the censor's position to wait for the censor Ma Zhou to meet the emperor."
"Liu Rengui, a member of the royal palace, met the emperor."
"You're Ma Zhou?"
Li Shimin looked at Ma Zhoudao in front of him.
"There is Ma Zhou."
Ma Zhou said respectfully.
"I have read the Chen Tie you wrote about the establishment of the Cuju Branch of the Tang Dynasty. I can see that you have great talents. Seeing that you can organize the Cuju Eye League so smoothly today means that I have read you wrong, and Li Ke did not recommend you wrong as a Zhubo of the Royal Mansion."
Ma Zhou said excitedly: "Thank you for your trust. I dare not take it for you to praise you so much."
Then, Li Shimin talked to Liu Rengui: "You are Chen Cangwei, Liu Rengui?"
Liu Rengui hurriedly replied, "It's the weak minister."
"When Li Ke called you to be his mansion, I wonder why he chose you. Today, it seems that you are indeed talented and can help Ma Zhou's drill competition be so successful. It is an indispensable contribution to promoting Cuju to the Tang Dynasty. I remember you."
Liu Rengui said excitedly: "Thank you, the emperor for your praise, I dare not take it."
When Li Shimin saw that the two were cautious and answered appropriately, he felt aroused by the desire for talent and stepped forward to help them up.
Then, after looking at the venue of the competition, he said: "The drill competition was successfully completed, the venue order was maintained in an orderly manner, and the security was done well. Who was responsible? I want to see who was responsible."
Su Dingfang, Dugu Mou and Deng Tongda hurriedly walked up to salute Li Shimin: "See the Emperor."
Li Shimin looked at the three people in front of him and immediately judged the three people from the official uniform he was wearing.
He looked at Su Ding, who was wearing the uniform of a captain in front of him and was majestic, and suddenly said, "You are Su Dingfang, who was the former Dou Jiande, Liu Heita's general, and the brave and good at fighting?"
When Su Dingfang heard Li Shimin's question, he did not show much surprise and said without changing his expression: "It is the last general, the vague captain of the Han Palace."
"I am worthy of being a general in the battles in the south and north."
Li Shimin helped Su Dingfang up and said, "Now you can become an official and serve in the Tang Dynasty, which is a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Su Dingfang quickly said, "I dare not take it as the last general."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "You don't have to be so humble. You can see your talent from the maintenance of the order in the arena. It is indeed a general who is a talented person. Do your work in the palace and you will show your talent in the future."
