The midsummer is hot and hot. Although it is only about 9 a.m., the sky is still scorching like a fire, and the heat waves are coming. However, at this time, it is very lively in front of the Yangxin Palace of Ganqing Palace. Two people are playing the cubicle competition under the scorching sun. It is so fun to play.

From the costumes, it can be seen that this team of Culis is composed of Jinwu Guards and Jinyi Guards. Zhu Houcan was wearing a white Hu suit and acted as the left forward of Jinwu Guards. He also wore the captain's red armband and directed the team members to attack with a whisper.

Lu Bing is the captain of the Jinyi Guard. He ran with his long legs so fast, but he couldn't catch up with Zhu Hougui, who was dribbling the ball. The latter seized the opportunity and volleyed the ball. The Jinyi Guard, who was responsible for guarding the goal, stared at the boss with his eyes wide open, and looked fierce, and his horse stance was also thrust. As a result, the ball rushed through his crotch and shot into the goal.

"The Emperor is mighty!"

"The Emperor will win!"

"The Emperor is invincible!"

Amid the cheers of eunuchs and palace maids outside the court, Zhu Houcan raised his index fingers proudly and showed off his handsomeness. The cheers outside the court became even more enthusiastic. A little eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "Dog (go) dog (go), Ali Li Ali...!"

The little eunuch obviously didn't know what he was singing, it was a dog. Anyway, I had sang it when I saw Jing'an Bo Xu Jin scored a goal before, and I felt it was very pleasant and stylish, so I sang it out to help the emperor celebrate.

Zhu Houcan pointed at the little eunuch and laughed. When the eunuchs and palace maids saw that the emperor liked it, they sang along with it lamely. So, a ghost crying and wolf howling sounded in front of the solemn and grand Ganqing Palace.

It is said that since Xu Jin created a new Cuzhi competition last year, this kind of game has become popular throughout the Ming Dynasty in just over a year. Of course, as the saying goes, the upward and downward effects, the reason why the new Cuzhi competition is so popular is that Emperor Jiajing played a great demonstration role in it.

Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, is indeed a good player in business. Under his business promotion, the Ming Dynasty football industry chain has been built by him. The Cuza League is in full swing. Now, the Cuza team has been formed under the names of major chambers of commerce in central Beijing, and it has indeed packaged several popular stars.

Nowadays, a prosperous town has been formed near the camp of Wubai Camp in the western suburbs of the capital. The land price has risen to a great rise, and the most beneficial one is naturally the 500 camp. The rent alone is probably enough to maintain the military expenditure of 3,000 people. If the annual dividend is added, raising 5,000 troops is more than enough.

Back to the topic, the two teams played for about half an hour, and the young emperor Zhu Houcan scored another goal. The game ended. In the end, the Jinwu Guard where Zhu Houcan was located narrowly defeated the Jinyi Guard with one goal 5:4.

Lu Bing is very clever. Although he secretly lets the water go, he also deliberately makes the score as close as possible. On the one hand, it can cover up the fact that the water go go go, and on the other hand, it makes the emperor feel that victory was achieved by him with his sweat and hard work, so the emperor naturally becomes happier.

At this time, that boy Zhu Houcon was indeed very happy. The handsome boy who was so beautiful that he blushed all over. While wiping his sweat, he drank a large cup of cold boiled water and laughed: "Abing, you Jinyiwei need to practice more."

Lu Bing laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are just lucky to win a goal, and you may not win next time."

Zhu Houxiang said proudly: "I'm not convinced, right? Let's play another game another day to convince you."

Lu Bing's eyes rolled and said, "The guards around the emperor are all good at martial arts. This is a big advantage. Unfortunately, Lord Xu, the boss of Jing'an, is not in Beijing now. Otherwise, the younger one can ask Lord Xu's two brothers to help him, and he will definitely beat you."

Zhu Houcan nodded and said, "Xie Qianshi and Sanqian's kid are indeed good at martial arts. Next time they return to Beijing, I will allow you to ask them to help the boxing."

Lu Bing said: "I heard that Xie's father and the boss of the Xie family are all powerful people with great martial arts skills. I wonder if it is true."

Zhu Houying smiled and said, "More than that, Sister Xiaowan can beat you down!"

When Zhu Houcan said this, a trace of warmth appeared in his eyes. He thought that he had been wandering on the streets of Shangrao County and almost died of coldness in the wind and snow at night. It was Sister Xiaowan who carried him into the house to save him, and he also allowed himself to stay at home for half a year of free food and living, and made new clothes and hats for himself during the Chinese New Year.

When the ancestral hall in Xujia Village was besieged by bandits, the thieves almost rushed in. When their lives were hanging on the line to be prepared to break through, Sister Xiaowan still grabbed her hand tightly and did not intend to leave her burden behind.

Zhu Houcon probably will never forget this scene in his life. He was so scared that he died. The fear of death filled his young heart. It was Sister Xiaowan who gave him comfort and courage. Fortunately, Brother Xie, in the end, brought people back to rescue him in time, and Xie Sanqiang, who was younger than him, bravely picked up the stone and attacked the thief who climbed onto the wall.

It can be said that the brothers of the Xie family left a very deep impression on Zhu Houcan. They had shared life and death. This is also the reason why Zhu Houcan treated Xie Xiaowan better than his own sister.

Lu Bing smiled unnaturally and said, "Biaoxia compared with Xie Sanqiu when he was in Yangzhou. He is indeed not his opponent, but Princess Yongxiu is a woman. The emperor said that Biaoxia could not beat her, so Biaoxia really didn't believe it."

Zhu Houcan laughed and said, "You have shot you three times, and you still want to beat Sister Xiaowan. You might as well practice for a few more years. When you grow to eighteen years old, you will have hope to compete with Sister Xiaowan."

Lu Bing took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, when he was arresting the giant thief Xu Weixue in Yangzhou, he heard what he said about the Chiyang Palm. It seems that the Xie family was descendant of Zhang Dingbian in the late Yuan Dynasty. I don't know whether it is true or false. However, the Xie family is a martial arts expert, and it is probably the descendant of the general."

Zhu Houcong said naturally: "Zhang Dingbian is indeed a powerful general. He played under Chen Youliang's command, but unfortunately he was blind and was so fucked by the wrong leader."

"Yes, yes, Chen Youliang is a stubborn and short-sighted man. He is not an opponent of Emperor Taizu. It's only a matter of time before he loses. Unfortunately, Zhang Dingbian is ungrateful and refuses Emperor Taizu's recruitment many times, and finally hides in his name!"

Zhu Houcong frowned and said, "A Bing, you are too lazy to read more books. Do you know Zhang Dingbian quite well?"

Lu Bing's heart skipped a beat and said with a sneer: "I heard the giant thief Xu Weixue mention Zhang Dingbian that day, so I specifically inquired about the origin of this person."

Zhu Houcong said calmly: "Are you defeated by three shots? So you are not angry?"

Lu Bing knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Your Majesty, Biaoxia has no intention. I just talked with the emperor today, so I mentioned it, not to mention that Biaoxia is the emperor's eyes and ears, so this matter cannot be concealed."

Zhu Houcong looked a little relaxed, and waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't mention these old things in the future. Come and take a shower, change clothes and pass on the meals. I will participate in the scriptures later."

A group of eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly surrounded Zhu Houguan and entered the Palace of Peaceful Heart. Lu Bing secretly wiped his cold sweat. This guy hated Xie Erjian to design and killed Ono Yuri, so he took the opportunity to cheat the Xie family today, but he was disappointed.

Lu Bing calmed down. It seemed that the emperor really trusted and favored the Xie family and Xu Jin very much. Such old things could not shake the emperor's favor for them at all.

Little did he know that Xu Jin had already written a letter to ask Xiaowan to confess the identity of the Xie family to Zhu Houguan, and Xiaowan did it. At this time, Lu Bing made a report again and naturally backfired. He didn't even use it, but instead reduced himself in front of the little emperor.

"Lu Bing, where is the emperor?"

When Lu Bing was secretly upset, a cold and tender voice suddenly came from behind. When he turned around, he saw a cold and carefree beauty standing behind him for several meters.

This little beauty looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is exactly Empress Wu. Speaking of which, Zhu Houcong got married last year and married two concubines. Empress Wu is only twelve years old. She just passed thirteen this year and her father is a scholar.

This Empress Wu is indeed beautiful, but unfortunately she always pretends to be mature with a stern face. She is obviously a yellow-haired girl of only twelve or thirteen years old, but she wants the dignity of the mother of the country. She is also very strict in her boudoir life. Zhu Houcong thought she was not interested, so she rarely went to the queen's Kunning Palace. Instead, she liked the older and considerate concubine.

The emperor did not like Empress Wu, so the people below naturally did not take her seriously. Take Lu Bing as an example. This time he returned to Beijing from Yangzhou and brought gifts to Empress Wu and the two concubines, but the one given to Empress Wu was the thinnest one.

Lu Bing's eyes rolled and he saluted respectfully: "Lu Bing met the Queen. The emperor had just kicked a game of kicking and was preparing to take a shower and change his clothes at this moment."

Sure enough, Queen Wu frowned and scolded: "The emperor is addicted to the game of cubicle all day long. You servants don't advise you, but they are still crazy with him. This is outrageous. I will report back to the Queen Mother to cure you evil talents!"

Lu Bing quickly knelt down in fear and fear, "Stop the anger of the Queen!"

In fact, Empress Wu has not yet taken power, and the power in the harem is still held in the hands of Zhu Houcong's biological mother Jiang. Her prestige, a yellow-haired girl, has not been established yet, and she is not favored by the emperor, so the palace ladies are not afraid of her. Now Lu Bing's "fear of fear" looks, which makes her very useful. She snorted coldly: "Forget it this time, next time, be careful with your skin."

Lu Bing quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

"Then Jing'an Bo Xu Jin is hateful. If you are playing a new type of cubicle game, you will also be addicted to the emperor." Queen Wu stomped her feet angrily and walked into the Palace of Harmony.

Lu Bing looked at Queen Wu's back thoughtfully, then left the palace, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a gift to Jing'an Bo Mansion, saying that it was a souvenir brought back from Yangzhou.
