Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Hey!"

"what!"

In the imperial garden, a group of princes followed a group of guards to learn Taizu Changquan. Although they were young, they were full of momentum.

After practicing the Taizu Changquan, all the princes dispersed and cheered:

"Cuju is gone."

There were few playmates in the palace, and Cuju was their happiest time.

On the Cuju court, Zhao Xu led a group of princes to play Cuju, but Fan Zheng did not play and watched from the sidelines.

"Why doesn't Dr. Fan play Cuju? Maybe he doesn't like it." After playing for a while, Zhao Xu saw Fan Zheng at the side, wiped his sweat and came to Fan Zheng's side and asked.

He was very grateful to Fan Zheng. Since Fan Zheng became the imperial physician, he had spared no effort to help him and made his situation in the palace much better.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said nothing. He had seen the ultimate version of the Cuju competition later in life, so naturally he was not interested in this elementary level of Cuju.

Suddenly Fan Zheng's heart moved and he said: "Wei Chen once told the officials that as children and grandchildren, you can be rebellious, but you must be filial. You can be unruly, but you can't be inactive."

Zhao Xu nodded solemnly. It was precisely because of Fan Zheng's guidance that he improved his relationship with the Empress Dowager.

"Now that the official family has achieved filial piety and advancement, they can do some rebellious things at the right time!" Fan Zheng said with a wicked smile.

"Rebellious thing?"

Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood that Fan Zheng was going to do something evil again.

"Yes, Your Majesty is determined to change the martial arts. Why don't you try your hand at it? How about reforming Cuju first?" Fan Zheng pointed at the prince running on the field. He was accompanied by the guards who had just taught Taizu Changquan. He was responsible for accompanying him and taking care of security.

"Reformed Cuju!"

Zhao Xu frowned. He knew that his foundation was unstable now, and it was really not appropriate to overstimulate Queen Mother Gao.

Fan Zheng recalled with an expression on his face: "According to medical records about smallpox, there was once a kingdom of Kang. There was a young emperor named Kang Guo. He had been infected with smallpox when he was a child and survived. His experience was the same as your Majesty's. He was the successor at the age of eight. position, and finally took charge at the age of fourteen."

Zhao Xu was shocked and couldn't help but feel envious. Kangxi had already taken office at the age of fourteen, while he had not yet taken office at the age of sixteen.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Don't be envious of him as an official. His situation is not as good as that of an official. Kangxi came into power at the age of fourteen. However, how could a fourteen-year-old boy convince the public? The military and political power in the court rested with a powerful minister." In his hands, the powerful ministers were unruly, disrespectful of the young emperor, and intended to rebel."

Zhao Xu was silent, although the Empress Dowager was currently in charge of the government and the political situation in the DPRK was stable, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages for him.

"Kangxi decided to eradicate the powerful officials, so he secretly summoned a group of teenagers to practice wrestling in the palace. When the powerful officials entered the palace, the group of teenagers swarmed up, uniformed and imprisoned the powerful officials. Finally, at the age of fourteen, Kangxi took complete control of the power of the Kang state and pacified the country. The feudal town rebelled, ushering in the rule of prosperity.

Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng with a look of shock on his face and said, "You asked me to change my way of playing Cuju, but you actually have to..."

He did not expect that Fan Zheng would be so rebellious and resort to such evil methods.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The situation of the official family is naturally different from that of Kangxi. The Queen Mother is the official grandmother, so the official family has no worries about the throne. However, if His Majesty wants to rule personally, he must have a group of people to follow him. Now His Majesty cannot By reaching the courtiers, Cuju can add a group of trustworthy people around the officials and convey His Majesty’s aspirations for reform.”

Zhao Xu's heart moved when he saw the guards on the court and thought of King Yong Zhao Hao's pressing step by step. If he could win over some people through Cuju, even a group of guards would be extremely valuable.

"Then let me tell you how to change Cuju." Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and said.

"Cuju requires bouncing the ball several times, which requires very high skills and is quite difficult. If you want the reform to be successful, you will naturally need more people to participate. Then make Cuju as simple as possible." Fan Zhengdao.

"Simple?" Zhao Xu thought thoughtfully.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, it's simple. We can let Cuju roll on the ground. You can't use your hands, you can only kick Cuju with your feet! In this way, even children and even beginners can participate in Cuju."

"As long as you have legs! This is too simple!" Zhao Xu said dumbfounded.

Fan Zheng continued: "That's not all. Cuju's Feng Liuyan is tall and small. For example, the young Prince Jian cannot kick. We can enlarge the Feng Liuyan and put it on the ground like a door frame. Even if it is Even young kids can score."

Zhao Xu looked at his brother Zhao Si, who was chasing the ball all the time on the court, and couldn't help but nodded slightly. If the gameplay of Cuju was simplified, it would definitely attract more people to join.

"Cuju is a competition. If the difficulty is lowered, wouldn't it be a lot less fun?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "What the officials said is true. Cuju originated from the military. It was derived from the competition between the two armies. The desire to win is the greatest charm of Cuju. However, since ancient times, the two armies have been entangled and fighting each other. , but today the two sides of Cuju are separated by goals. They only pursue accuracy and lack confrontation. It is better to place the enlarged goals behind the two armies, like a Chinese army tent, and send people to defend each other. Both sides attack and defend each other. , intending to kick the ball into the opponent's goal, it is like breaking into the enemy's camp, cutting down the flag and seizing the commander."

"Invade the enemy's camp, cut down the flag and seize the commander!" Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his blood boiled.

"In addition, officials can also add the art of war to Cuju. When marching and fighting, there is a forward, a middle army, and a rear army. There are also left and right armies to protect the left and right wings. Why don't we divide them into vanguards according to the art of war? , center guard, rear guard, left guard, right guard, arrange the troops in formation, which not only conforms to the art of war, but also coincides with Emperor Taizu's strategy of dividing the troops into five groups." Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Join the Art of War?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

"As for the number of people! The best number for each side is eleven. One person will guard the goal and be responsible for preventing the opponent from scoring goals! The other ten people will either defend or attack!"

Zhao Xu was greatly moved.

Fan Zheng said energetically: "We can also join the military division, command from the sidelines, strategize and win, and win from thousands of miles away. We can also have dedicated people responsible for fair judgment and deciding the outcome."

"This seems feasible!"

As Fan Zheng explained the rules of future football one by one, Zhao Xu's eyes became brighter and brighter. Just listening to Fan Zheng's description, he could imagine that Cuju would be more fun and interesting after the reform.

"And His Majesty can not only show his ambition for reform, but also create an image of both civil and military personnel." Fan Zheng said with a smile.

"Both civil and military." Zhao Xu suddenly became more heroic.

This was not only a small test of his reform, but also a test for the courtiers and Empress Dowager Gao.

........................

"it is good!"

In the Cuju arena, there was a sudden burst of cheers, which immediately attracted the attention of Empress Dowager Gao.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy in the palace?" Empress Dowager Gao frowned. She always liked peace and quiet, but the fact that the palace was so noisy made her a little unhappy.

King Yong Zhao Hao hurriedly came forward to check, and when he came back he said with a strange expression: "Queen Qi reported to my mother that the government has reformed the rules of Cuju. She and Dr. Fan are each leading a team to compete in Cuju."

"Reform Cuju!" Empress Dowager Gao's face darkened, and she frowned. She came to the Cuju court where Zhao Xu and other princes often played, and was immediately shocked by what she saw.

I saw Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu commanding a team to fight with each other on the Cuju court. Twenty guards were running wildly on the court chasing a ball.

"Left, left defense!"

"It's a pity to go to the meeting alone!"

"I'll put all the pressure on you!"

"Defense and counterattack, seize the opportunity!"

..............................

The two used military skills and commanded the guards, and it was a pleasure to come and go.

Every time a goal was scored, the audience cheered. Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel proud when he saw this scene. He was worried that he couldn't catch Fan Zheng. This time Fan Zheng actually instigated the official reform of Cuju. He would definitely This caused dissatisfaction from the queen mother.

However, what he didn't expect was that Empress Dowager Gao did not immediately become furious. Instead, she stared blankly at Zhao Xu, who was vigorously directing Cuju on the sidelines. He kept talking about the art of war, and the guards were also acting as if they were advancing and retreating well. Fan Zheng and his bodyguards deliberately set things off, and Zhao Xu won successively, arrogantly commanding the audience like a victorious general.

The difference between this kind of official family and the official family half a month ago made her undecided. She could use her prestige to suppress the official family now, but was the previous official family really what she wanted?

After a long time, Queen Mother Gao sighed, turned and left.

When King Yong Zhao Hao saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned. Is this still the strict and rigid queen mother in his mind?
