Chapter 61: Playboy Party
To be honest, although Li Hao wanted the government to support him, he actually did not have any hope.
But now Ouyang Xiu said that the official not only wanted to write a plaque for them to support them, but was also willing to provide a lottery ticket. This added a lot of doubts to Li Hao in addition to surprise, and he was waiting for Ouyang Xiu to solve his doubts.
This time, Ouyang Xiu did not keep it a secret and said directly: "This matter is indeed what I told the official family, but I didn't expect the official family to support it at that time. I just mentioned it when the official family asked you.
But after hearing this, the official was very interested and thought that you did a good job and said you would like to reward you.
So I took the opportunity to make these requests for you, and the official agreed immediately. Even the polo court beside Jin Mingchi was asked to get it back so quickly.”
After hearing this, Li Hao asked: "Why did the official family ask me about it? Is it because I am Tanhua? My uncle thinks the official family's intention is it? Is it just that it is just right?"
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said, "I can't guess the reason why the official asked you, but since you can get the official's special attention, it's not a bad thing.
As for why your official family is optimistic about this so-called competition, I have thought about it carefully. I think the official family really wants to improve the current trend, and it is a good time for you to come up with this idea.
After all, in the early years, there were strong military soldiers in the Qingli New Policy. Although it was forced to terminate later, the officials were afraid that they would never forget this matter. It happened that you handed over the idea at this time, so the officials were naturally happy and followed the trend.
And for.
Secondly, the officials are afraid that they want to compensate Gu Tingye now."
After hearing this, Li Hao said, "The uncle said that the government now feels something is wrong with the matter of deposing Gu Tingye and letting him ruin his path to the imperial examination."
Ouyang Xiu explained: "The official has always been kind and is not a person who likes to treat people harshly. He may have been angry for a moment. Now that he has lost his anger, he naturally doesn't want to pursue it. But after all, it's hard to change his words, so he can only do other things.
Compensation is made."
When Li Hao heard this, he thought to himself that this was true. When Gu Tingye was rescued in the play, Zhao Zhen admitted in person that he had done something wrong in front of Gu Tingye.
Although he may have been grateful to Gu Tingye for sacrificing his life to save people, he apologized to his subordinates with the respect of the emperor, and I am afraid that he really regretted it.
After Li Hao finished thinking about it, he generally accepted the support of the government. So he thought that with the support of the government, it would be much easier for him and Gu Tingye to organize this competition well.
Just hang the plaque of the official family and use the lottery heads given by the official family as trophys like the Hercules Cup, and take them back to the champions who won the award that year. Wait until the next year to get it back and hand it over to each one
If you are a champion, you are not afraid of the nobles who don’t work hard to grab it.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Ouyang Xiu calling him, so he hurriedly heard Ouyang Xiu say, "Originally, this matter was just a joke between you and Gu Tingye, and at most it involves Kaifeng Mansion, so I will go with you to make trouble.
But now that the government knows and has given high hopes, you must do this well, which will be beneficial to you and Gu Tingye, so you must be more careful."
After hearing this, Li Hao agreed: "My nephew must do his best. I will go to Gu Tingye later and tell him the good news. In addition, discuss with him what to do later. Now that I have the support of the official, I can't be like
If you make a small fuss as you originally thought, you must build up the momentum, otherwise it would disappoint the officials."
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said, "I don't understand this matter very much. You still have to think about it yourself. However, if you need anything to help me, you will tell me that at that time."
After hearing this, Li Hao replied, "Thank you uncle. If you are fine now, I will go down first. As for the words that need to be written by the official family, I will discuss with Gu Tingye, and I will come to tell my uncle."
Then, seeing that Ouyang Xiu had no intention of leaving anyone else, he retreated.
Waiting for the yamen in Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Hao quickly took a carriage outside the city to find Gu Tingye.
Because the venue has not been down for these days, Gu Tingye could only pull people to borrow the venue of the Duke of Zhen outside the city for use. Li Hao had only heard Gu Tingye say it once, but never came. Finally, he asked the people and found it.
a place.
As Li Hao slowly approached, he found that this place was not as big as the polo court beside Jin Mingchi, and other facilities looked a little old and not as good as that on the other side. No wonder why the nobles were willing to go there.
.
When Li Hao approached, he was stopped by the servants guarding around him.
Li Hao said to the servant: "You go in and report it, and then say that Li Hao from Kaifeng Prefecture is coming to Gu Tingye, he knows."
After hearing this, the servant went in to report, and Li Hao was waiting outside.
After waiting for a while, he saw Gu Tingye riding a black horse and running over. When he saw Li Hao teasingly, "Why are you here? It's really rare."
After hearing this, Li Hao responded: "You are working hard on this, don't I come and see if you deserve it? I heard that you say so, why do you come and see if you have any problems."
After hearing this, Gu Tingye said, "Come to me to prepare. You asked me to start this event. But I just gave some suggestions and said some general rules, and left them all to me to handle it without asking anything.
Now.”
Li Hao felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, but said, "I believe in your ability. You will definitely be able to do this well, why should I give you too much trouble?
And I didn’t do anything, today I’ve brought you great news.”
After hearing this, Gu Tingye said, "Yes, it seems that the news is quite big, otherwise you can run over from afar.
Forget it, let’s not say anything at the door, I’ll take you in and take a look and just introduce the people present to you.”
So he rode his horse and turned his head and walked slowly. Li Hao sat in the carriage and followed behind. After walking a while and entering the polo field, he could see two teams playing Cuju on the field.
Gu Tingye also introduced to Li Hao next to him: "This Cuju rule is modified according to the old Tang Dynasty. I have referred to the rules you said. Now six teams have been pulled in by me, and there are some on the court.
The two teams are the teams of the Duke of Lingguo and the Weining Bo family. The leaders are Yang Wenyuan, the Duke of Lingguo and Li Yixing, the Duke of Lingguo and the Duke of Weining Bo family.
In addition, today we also came from the Hou of Xuanning, Hou Yongjia, Hou Tong'an, Xin'an Bo, Anxiang Bo, and Yingcheng Bo. I will introduce it to you one by one later."
Then Gu Tingye took Li Hao into the main hall and sat down. Everyone who had been scattered on the court stopped slowly when they saw Gu Tingye bringing people back. Then several of them walked in from outside.
After everyone came in, Gu Tingye got up to introduce Li Hao one by one. Seeing this, Li Hao also stood up to face everyone.
Then as Gu Tingye introduced it one by one, Li Hao also met a group of second-generation lords standing at the top in Bianjing, including Yang Wenyuan, Li Yixing, Cao Shiji, and Yongjia Hou.
Zhu Liangzu, Meng Shan, Tong'an Hou family, Xin'an Bo family, Li Jun, Anxiang Bo family, Zhang Xing, and Yingcheng Bo family.
After introducing them, Gu Tingye introduced Li Hao to them and said, "This is the Tanhualang of this year. I think you have all heard of it. This time, it was also Brother Li's first idea to start a league.
”
After hearing this, the group of second-generations were still quite polite to Gu Tingye.
But after a brief greeting, Yang Wenyuan said, "It's true that he is a new science Tanhua. He thinks about it with thought. The reason why we have to go out of the house to play has to be an excuse. Now that we have this reason, we can come out openly.
Thank you Tanhualang. In the future, Tanhualang will come to walk with us more. It is useful to talk to us in Bianjing City."
Gu Tingye's expression was a little overwhelmed after hearing this. After hearing this, Li Hao also thought to himself that I had worked hard for a long time. The football game is something you can play whenever you want, so do I have shame?
If Li Hao was tolerant of this on weekdays, after all, the people from the dukes, marquis, and countess's children's mansions here were despised by him, a sixth-rank official and without a prominent family background.
normal.
But Li Hao had a strong support today and said, "It was indeed a bit of fun about this matter, but somehow, this matter later came to the ears of the government. After the government found out, it agreed with it and even gave it to the government.
If you give grace, you can't just play."
