Don't be a prince

Looking at Ashina Helu's Tang suit, Li Chengqian said curiously: "As the king of the Turks, it's not appropriate for you to wear my Tang suit."

Qi Zong Nongzan was also wearing a Tang suit. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty doesn't know that Tang people's clothing is also one of the most important commodities for Tang merchants. As long as you are an aristocrat, if you don't wear a Tang suit, you will definitely be ridiculed." .And in grand ceremonies in some countries, wearing Tang suits also represents a kind of solemnity. If you don’t believe me, look at the leaders of these teams, which one is not wearing Tang suits?”

Li Chengqian nodded after picking up the binoculars.This is not surprising. For people from other countries, Datang is a country they dream of living in. Yearning for the culture of Datang is a concrete manifestation of this feeling.The kings of some impoverished countries may not have the comfort of the people of Tang Dynasty.

With the entry of teams one by one, the stadium is also fully opened, and residents around Chang'an can enter the stadium without buying tickets.However, foreign businessmen do not have this benefit anymore, and the price of limited audience tickets has been skyrocketed by them.

Accompanied by Shanshan's belated entry of the Supreme Emperor, this grand event has officially begun.

Xu Jingzong, as the trusted Zhongshu Ling and Prime Minister, deliberately wore official uniforms today, and began to speak on stage in those long speeches that would be expected in opening ceremonies.Judging by the bewildered expressions of those foreign contestants, you can tell that they didn't listen at all.

But if they didn't understand, it didn't mean they couldn't cheer.

Amidst the cheers, Xu Jingzong cupped his hands towards the judging panel.Immediately, two guards presented two bows and two rockets.

Li Chengqian and Li Shimin knew about this arrangement a long time ago, so they took the bow and arrow and shot at the two high platforms between the arenas.

Accompanied by a burst of smoke, gorgeous fireworks burst out from the two high platforms, exploding high in the sky, even if it was daytime, the colors of the fireworks were intoxicating.

Throwing away the bow and arrow, Li Shimin muttered, "Why is Qingque studying this thing? Gunpowder should be used to kill enemies. Isn't this kind of thing that can only be seen a waste?"

Li Chengqian handed the bow and arrow to Zhang Yun, turned around and said with a smile: "Come on, the Research Institute and the Gunpowder Department have developed a wrong kind of gunpowder. Although it is powerful, it is unstable. It is estimated that the powerful and stable gunpowder will not take too long." In time, it will be available.

Moreover, even if our research is slow, Tang Jun's equipment has not stopped updating.Even now, if the world attack Tang comes again, we don't have to fight hard, and we can win easily. "

As an experiencer of that battle, Ashina He Lucai complained in his heart that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would brag, and the whole world would attack the Tang Dynasty until the end, and the loser would definitely be the Tang Dynasty.But the next moment, the deafening roar drew his attention to the sky.

To the inexplicable horror of all the members of the foreign envoys, at this moment, above the hollow stadium dome, a big thing that seemed to have wings roared past.At the same time, small pieces of colored paper floated down from the sky.

It was supposed to be an extremely beautiful scene, but the coldness of Qi Zong Nongzan and others spread from the deepest part of the spine to the whole body.

in case.

If what falls is not a piece of paper...

Chapter 569 Rock Paper Scissors

In the past, Datang ordered all countries in the world, especially the rule that no country should go to war during the Games, and some people were dissatisfied.

However, when the colored paper from the plane fell on their faces, they felt that they seemed to have no other choice.

Ashina Helu had mixed feelings in his mind. For the Turks, the endless grassland made their combat effectiveness on flat land extraordinary.Even Tang Bing won in terms of equipment.But now, he discovered that the route taken by the Tang people completely crushed the Turks.The cavalry units that the Turks relied on to win were helpless against attacks from the air!

And what made him most angry was that the flying machine above the stadium flew left and right, and even made a dive and then rose again before completely disappearing.

This is trying my best to show my power!

Just like Ashina Helu, Qi Zong laughed bitterly when he praised him, and he was extremely glad that he did not choose to confront Datang head-on.The ancestral "qi epidemic" in Tubo has been proved by the Tang emperor to be nothing more than a highly induced natural reaction.And the intricate terrain is no longer qualified to be a barrier for Tubo.

Because the Tang people can not only fly into the sky, but also fly freely.

The steam plane developed by Li Tai has an average load capacity and cannot fly too high.Places like the Tubo Plateau can't fly at all, they are just waste.

However, Qizong Nongzan was naturally not clear about such things.

Not only these foreigners saw it for the first time, but also the people of Datang saw the plane clearly for the first time.

While the buzzing of this thing is annoying, the way it spits steam is nothing to look at.But, this thing can fly!Moreover, as long as it is something from home, no matter what it is, it is a good thing!

Immediately, there was no need to organize, and the Datang affiliates in the field shouted loudly.

Li Shimin, who had already secretly experienced a hot air balloon flight, had fulfilled his lifelong wish, but he still couldn't help showing his fascinated expression when he saw the plane flying so freely.

Seeing the expression of the Supreme Emperor, Li Chengqian hurriedly said in a low voice: "Don't worry about it, if you let outsiders know that I let you take a hot air balloon, I will definitely be scolded to death. Airplanes are still prone to accidents, and the training was not long ago. Of the more than 100 pilots who came out, more than a dozen died and more than 40 were injured. No one impeached my son for quick success, and his son is already burning incense."

Li Shimin curled his lips and said: "Such a sharp weapon, no matter how many people die, it should be researched. Who dares to impeach you? I will spit on him for you!"

Even so, Li Shimin still knows his legs and feet, and he no longer yearns for it now.

After receiving the simple wooden loudspeaker from Zhang Yun, Li Chengqian said loudly: "Let's stop here for the cheers. The International Games will officially start now. As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I propose to hold this Games for the sake of Good health for all people in the world. Life lies in exercise, and reasonable exercise can effectively improve the quality of life.

I said at the beginning that during the sports meeting, no country shall continue to fight. This is a rule that all countries must abide by.As for those who don't follow the rules, don't blame me for being merciless. "

At this moment, hearing the calm voice of Emperor Tang, many people couldn't help but their hearts beat faster.From now on, any rules set by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will become iron rules that everyone in the world must abide by.

Just when Li Chengqian was about to continue talking, suddenly one of the leaders of the national teams on the field fell to his knees and chattered something.

Although this guy has blond hair and looks very European, the European languages ​​of the Tang Dynasty have nothing in common with the later generations. Besides, Li Chengqian thought that his English had already been packaged and returned to his English teacher.

The biggest task of Honglu Temple is to ensure that the speakers can translate any sentence.So under the translation of several tongues, Li Chengqian knew what this person was talking about.

It turned out that when Datang's decree was delivered to his country, they chose to stop, but their hostile country took the opportunity to capture many of their cities.

Hearing this result, many people looked at the prince of this small country with the eyes of a fool.Will Datang really intervene in matters in the extreme west and the extreme north?

The fact is that Li Chengqian felt that it was necessary for Datang to intervene.

Looking at the tongue man, Li Chengqian said: "Tell him, no one dares to disobey the will of the Tang Dynasty. If it is true that this country still fights after receiving the will of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will uphold justice for them. How many enemies have they defeated? For the city, I will let him return it twice!"

As the suzerain of the Tang Dynasty, in areas where it is difficult to influence, it is always necessary to train one or two younger brothers.

The tongue man quickly translated this sentence to the prince, who was so excited that he kowtowed.This is the highest level of etiquette in Zhongtu. He knows very well that although he is a prince, performing this etiquette in front of the Great Tang Emperor would not be ashamed.

After dealing with this matter, Li Chengqian continued: "Although Datang is the home field of the International Games, the referees will definitely uphold the principle of fairness and impartiality and will not favor any side. The five countries that have won the most gold medals will be Tribute-free for three years. Well, let’s start today’s first match, the bow and arrow competition.”

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, a huge and thick glass barrier rose up, blocking the judging panel.

Although the glass wall specially customized by the glass workshop is not comparable to the bulletproof glass of later generations, it is not something that can be broken through by ordinary bows and arrows.

Seeing such a huge and transparent glass, Ashina Helu and Qi Zong Nongzan were startled.It's not that I haven't seen glass before. The glass of Tang Dynasty, even if it is installed in the imperial palace, most of them have impurities, and some of them have some colors.However, this piece is completely transparent.

Looking at this piece of glass, Li Chengqian couldn't help smiling.Glass workshops have made progress over the years. According to this progress, it is estimated that sophisticated instruments such as microscopes will be available soon.Microscopes are used to peek into the mysteries of matter in the small, and astronomical telescopes are used to experience the vastness of the universe in the vast starry sky.

The "Industrial Revolution" was a thousand years ahead of schedule, and it may be how many years in advance the first manned space mission to Mars will be realized.

Just as Li Chengqian was thinking wildly, the bow and arrow competition had already started.

Of course, Fang Shuo was sent by Datang. This guy was very arrogant. Others wore thin clothes, for fear of affecting his archery, but he was wearing the general armor of Datang, for fear that others would not recognize his identity as General of Datang. .Xue Rengui was also dressed in the same costume. Datang, as the organizer, and possibly the organizer for a long time to come, naturally has the privilege.

Arrogant to arrogant, archery together, the two of them were not sloppy at all, a total of ten arrows and a hundred rings made the Tang people present couldn't help cheering.

A game like this would have an obvious impact on one side's home court. Many contestants from small countries made mistakes, and some even shot arrows at the audience seats.Fortunately, the height of the auditorium ensured their safety. In case of failure, there were guards with shields on guard at all times.So the man's arrow just hit the wall of the field and fell down powerlessly.

Naturally, Fang Shuo didn't need to worry. If the soldiers he brought out were not confident, it would be a joke.As for Xue Rengui, he was personally selected by the Supreme Emperor, the shadow of a famous tree, even without the recommendation of the Supreme Emperor, he is still worthy of trust.What Li Chengqian cares most about is actually the achievements of the archery rival of the Tang Dynasty - the grassland country.

The same grand slam, after all, is a nomadic people, and archery is a skill carved into their bones.

The Turkic player was Ashina Poli, who was just as arrogant as Fang Shuo and Xue Rengui, with the flag of the Golden Wolf Cavalry stuck in the quiver, and after winning the grand slam, he drew an empty bow at Fang Shuo and Xue Rengui provocatively.

Seeing this scene, Qizong Nongzan couldn't help but said to Ashina Helu: "Your son is a bit arrogant."

Ashina He Luman said indifferently: "The king of the grassland should be rebellious."

After talking to Qi Zong, his arrogance broke down in an instant, and he said to Li Chengqian: "This kid doesn't know etiquette at a young age. I brought him here this time because I want him to study in Chang'an for a longer period of time. Your Majesty, do you see?"

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the college has set up a study abroad class, as long as he doesn't make trouble in Datang, he can study for as long as he wants."

Qi Zong looked at the pug-like Ashina Helu with disgust on his face, is this cowardly?What about the arrogance when you talked to Lao Tzu just now?

The first group is Hundred-step Archery. Those who get full marks can naturally advance to the next round.Only after one round, there were only Fang Shuo, Xue Rengui, Ashina Poli and Tie Le's prince Mordor left on the court.

The next level is 110 steps, all four of them passed.

120 steps, all four of them passed.

130 steps, still all passed.

Seeing that none of the four were timid, Xu Jingzong simply increased the distance to 160 steps, and at the same time, allowed the players to use their own bows.

160 steps, this distance, even Xue Rengui back then was nervous.After exchanging glances with Fang Shuo, both of them began to take off their armor at the same time, preparing to meet this challenge in the most vigorous state.

Ashina was far away and didn't dare to hold her back, so she unbuttoned half of her robe, revealing a solid and powerful arm.

As for Mordor, he had already started praying with his palms folded, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already adjusted to the best condition.

This time, it's time to decide the winner!

Looking at his hands, Li Shimin asked for a loudspeaker, and said, "160 steps, I am not sure at the beginning. Since so many people have reached the end today, I will add some chips. The black back bow that has been used for half a lifetime!"

When the Supreme Emperor spoke, the audience was in an uproar.The overlord spent half his life bowing?Don't say whether this bow is good or not, even if it is broken, it is a supreme reward for this title.

Ashina Poli and Modor's eyes were no longer full of light, but blood. They knew very well that if they got the reward, it would be equivalent to slapping Datang severely.And Datang, as the host, had no way to vent his anger on himself, and he couldn't retaliate afterwards, so he could only take the slap.

Xue Rengui and Fang Shuo were in a hurry, they knew very well what the consequences would be if they lost.Even if the emperor, the emperor, and the emperor don't care about it in large numbers, their backbones will be poked to pieces by the people of the Tang Dynasty.It's about the national system, once you lose, you can't apologize for your sins by self-judgment, and you will definitely have a bad reputation forever.

Hearing the exclamation in the room, Li Chengqian couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Father, is it necessary for you to do this? If Fang Shuo and Xue Rengui are too nervous, they will make mistakes instead."

Li Shimin grinned and said, "I appreciate Xue Rengui very much, and I think this general has the qualifications to lead the three armies. Judging from your arrangements for him over the years, you also value this person very much. This time it is my assessment of him. If he can win, I will recommend him as the general of the town army!"

Today's Xue Rengui is only a fourth-rank loyal military general, and the town army general has directly reached the second-rank level, which is also the pinnacle of military generals.As for the Hushi General, it is generally only used as a posthumous gift, and none of the Lingyan Pavilion heroes who died early received this posthumous gift.

The Supreme Emperor's recommendation, Xue Rengui is probably going to be envied to death.

Stress can be converted into motivation, but there are also many times when it can overwhelm people.The difference between burden and motivation is the individual's ability to bear.

The referee comes on and announces the start of the game.However, none of the four were eager to do it.

The distance increased from 130 steps to 160 steps, which broke a process of adaptation. Although the first arrow is a pathfinding arrow, scoring is still important.

Finally, Mordor couldn't withstand his own pressure and shot the first arrow.

Off target!

But Ashina Poli, Fang Shuo and Xue Rengui shot the first arrow after they had fully contemplated.

Eight rings, nine rings, eight rings!

After finding this feeling, the three of them got better and better, and the targets were all above the seventh ring.On the other hand, Modor, because of the failure of the first arrow, abstained after the fourth arrow.

He couldn't see that he had any hope of winning.

And after ten arrows, the result is speechless.

Ashina is far away, with 79 rings, and he is the only one who hit the tenth ring.

On the other hand, Fang Shuo and Xue Rengui have exactly the same 83 rings, which means that the two who also came from the Tang Dynasty will have a playoff...

Xu Jingzong considered for a long time before planning to let the two compete again at this distance, but the emperor stood up.

"Xue Rengui, Fang Shuo, rock-paper-scissors."

Rock-paper-scissors, a game handed down from the crown prince, is now often used by the military to deal with disputes. Of course, it is the kind of trivial matter.

Fang Shuo and Xue Rengui did not expect the emperor to let them decide the winner in such a hasty way, but after a while, they understood the emperor's intention.

Friendship first, competition second!

The Taishanghuang's bow is good, but it's not worth it to hurt your peace.What's more, after repeated matches, the two of them have already suffered serious arm injuries. If there is another match, they may have to recuperate for several months before recovering.

Looking at each other and smiling, the two faced each other in full view and shouted:

"Scissors, rock, paper!"

5 seventy chapters one word

It was just one time, and the two decided the winner.

The loser was Fang Shuo.

Although he lost and missed the reward from the Supreme Emperor, Fang Shuo was not discouraged at all. Instead, he congratulated Xue Rengui for finally winning the archery competition.

Xue Rengui was also very embarrassed, and took the gold medal from Xu Jingzong with both hands. As for the black back bow that Li Jian sent, he was embarrassed to take it anyway.

Seeing Xue Rengui like this, Li Chengqian got up and said: "Xue Rengui, you can accept it. Fang Shuo is busy training soldiers now, and it is you who really guard the frontier. This bow follows you to kill the enemy and protect our Tang border. Fang Shuo On par with you, if you got the Black Back Bow, I won't let him lose, so don't worry."

With the emperor's persuasion, Xue Rengui accepted the bow with an apologetic face, and carried it directly on his back.

Once upon a time, he had been envious of the good bow of the Supreme Emperor, who knew that he would still have a chance to get it in his lifetime.

The first is Xue Rengui, the second is Fang Shuo, and the third is Ashina Poli, and their medals are gold, silver and bronze respectively.

When the three of them stood on the podium and gestured to the audience, many people couldn't help swallowing.

What a gold medal!

Such a large gold medal, coupled with the factor of winning the sports meeting, is estimated to sell for a lot of money.I heard that the sports meeting is at the level of the whole people, and anyone can participate as long as they pass the selection process.What if...

No, our original intention of participating in the sports meeting is to win glory for our country!

On the podium, only Fang Shuo was smiling, Xue Rengui was embarrassed, and only Ashina looked unwilling.
