Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 101

In the Western Han Dynasty, it was a scorching summer.

On the south bank of the Weihe River and north of Efang Palace, the majestic Chang'an City prostrates on the ground.

In Chang'an City, Changle Palace is far away from the east and west cities. Towering earth walls are built on the green lawns of the east city.

The two bamboo doors are close to the two sides of the earth wall, and a dividing line in the middle is clearly visible. There are twelve people on the left and right sides, facing each other, with cold eyes, and their eyes are locked on the skin.

On the nine-zhang high platform, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, sat on the throne of the Nine-Five Supreme, showing tiger eyes, watching every move on the court below the stage.

With the blowing of the bamboo whistle, a Cuju competition kicked off.

The faces of thousands of onlookers were as excited as boiling water, and they screamed like killing pigs. The stadium was full of noise, and even Liu Bang, who was watching the game, was gearing up and eager to try.

On the tree a hundred meters away, Xiao Zhinu watched all this from the branch.

Qin Wangzheng of Zhangtai Palace also received Xiaozhinu's mailbox.

[Ding, the little childish slave sent travel photos, please check the host]
When Qin Wangzheng was worrying about the method of training soldiers, Xiaozhinu's mailbox came at the right time.

Qin Wangzheng clicked on the system panel, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, a thin photo appeared in front of the big bronze case.

Every time Xiao Zhinu's email can make the lonely king suddenly realize his confusion.

This time, Xiao Zhinu is no exception.

In the photo, there are huge crowds of people on the stadium, all of them were overjoyed and cheered.

A trace of surprise flashed in Qin Wangzheng's eyes. Could it be that this unprecedented scene is a loud applause for the lonely king?

But if you look closely, you can see that everyone is cheering around the stadium.

Qin Wangzheng could tell at a glance that 24 people were surrounding Piju on the court.

Piju was already popular in the Warring States Period, but at that time Piju was just a folk juggling, a personal fancy Piju, equivalent to an acrobat.

The city of Linzi in Qi State is full of jugglers, and some of them can even play for an hour [two hours].

Moreover, fancy Cuju tricks emerge in endlessly, such as knee jacking, both legs flying together, single foot stop, jumping and hooking and other technical movements.

It's just juggling, and the people of Qi State never get tired of it. There are mainly people performing, which will definitely attract many people to watch.

But this kind of sport is not popular in Qin State. It may be that Qin people are not sensitive and are not sensitive to this kind of juggling.

What's more, Shang Yang believed that these entertainers were neglecting farming and not doing business properly. During the reform, folk juggling was banned. Anyone who played would violate the law and be arrested by the government as a prisoner.

It's just that Piju in the photo turned out to be a team fight.

This surprised Qin Wangzheng and asked: "Why are 24 people competing for one ball? When did Piju become a team competition?"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Wangzheng turned on the recording function of the system.

Immediately afterwards came Liu Bang's low-pitched and peaceful words: "I think back then, when I was the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Peixian County, I used to play Cuju a lot. Unfortunately, I am old and can't kick anymore!"

Although the attitude was peaceful, Cao Shen and Fan Kui who were sitting around Liu Bang felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, their backs felt cold, and they laughed and said: "The emperor is the emperor of the ninety-five years, the real dragon is reincarnated, and he lives forever. How can you say you are old?"

Qin Wangzheng frowned.

Longevity and longevity are a reputation that can only be enjoyed by a lonely king. How can it be snatched away by a mere pavilion chief in Surabaya?
Simply daring!

Only by destroying the three clans can the hatred in the lonely king's heart be calmed down.

However, the title "Emperor" is a good one. After the lonely king defeated the nine states, he asked the whole world to call him this way.

When Qin Wangzheng was indulging in fantasy, Liu Bang's laughter came again, this time the laughter was more presumptuous than before, which made Qin Wangzheng even more resentful.

But Liu Bang's laughter stopped abruptly, and he continued to add: "The court meeting is over, why do the two heroes have to be so cautious, just chatting?"

How dare Fan Kui and Cao Can treat it as a small talk, their heads flustered like a paste, still maintaining the etiquette of a monarch and a minister, not daring to overstep, explaining in a trembling voice: "I dare not."

Although separated by the system, it can be seen that the identities of the three are very different, almost indistinguishable from the monarch and his ministers.

Xiao Zhinu went to another world a few days ago. Could it be that this is what the other world calls monarchs and ministers?

But the head of the pavilion in Sishui was an official of the Qin Dynasty.

Could it be that the head of the Surabaya pavilion has had shit luck, so he won't be able to become the king of a country?
Qin Wangzheng's face darkened, his brows were furrowed, and he said coldly: "The chief of the Sishui Pavilion."

This is the only clue in the recording, but it is too general to order the killing.

The King of Qin put his affairs on hold for the time being, and ordered county and county officials to strictly supervise the chief of the Sishui Pavilion. If there was any abnormality, he would immediately report it to prevent any unexpected events.

In addition, the three people's unnutritive nonsense came from the system again.

Qin Wangzheng was sullen and was about to close.

In the recording, there was a conversation between Liu Bang and Fan Kuai, talking about how to play Cuju.

After all, Cuju in the Han Dynasty had just been spread in the palace, and Liu Bang also found it novel, so he came to Dongshi to watch the game.

Fan Kuai bowed his hands and explained: "A round and square wall resembles yin and yang. The moon and the law are in balance, and two and six are equal."

The general idea is: "Ju" is round, and the court is surrounded by square walls, which symbolizes the round sky and the opposite of yin and yang.

In the competition, 12 people from each side compete against each other in twelve months of the year.

[ps: The Qin Dynasty adopted the hexadecimal system, and [-] is the current [-] times [-]]

Set up a fair and impartial referee. Under the time limit, whoever kicks Ju into the opponent's goal more times will win.

Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly, and an uncontrollable joy surged into his heart.

The rules of Piju are easy to understand, and Qin Wangzheng is also immersed in it, imagining the harmonious scene of playing football with civil and military officials in his mind.

After Qin Wangzheng received the ball, he swung past the striker, passed the defender, faced the empty goal, and kicked in. All civil and military officials applauded him in unison, and Lang Zhonglingjun raised his arms and shouted.

Just as the corner of Qin Wangzheng's mouth was rising, Fan Kui's voice interrupted his beautiful fantasy: "Piju competitions can be used for military training, pushing and pulling each other, seemingly chaotic, but actually orderly.

"Physical fitness is inevitable. In addition, Cuju relies on tacit understanding, which is enough to improve the team assistance ability of the army."

"The army will be invincible and invincible."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bang and others laughed heartily, which attracted Qin Wangzheng to be stunned, and began to laugh out loud.

As Fan Kuai said, if Piju is used for military training, the troops can use Piju to relax in their spare time after boring training.

Not only that, but with the improvement of the army's comprehensive combat power, it will surely become an unstoppable tiger and wolf division.

So, what's the point of destroying Zhao?
Qin Wangzheng summoned Qi Guoqing and Qin Guomo, and asked Qin Mo to make it after inquiring about the production process of Qi Guoqing Piju.

In addition, Qin Wangzheng also issued an edict: "In Nanshi, select an open space with a length of [-] feet and a width of [-] feet, and the lonely king will build a Cuju field."
