Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

In Daning, cuju is a sport alongside polo. In fact, compared with polo, which has a high threshold, cuju is more popular and sought after by ordinary people, and the participation of the people is also higher.After all, few common people can afford horses, but it is not difficult to make a Cuju ball with some feathers.

In fact, before the Ning Dynasty, cuju was more popular than polo. It was only because Xiao Yan, the founding emperor of Daning, liked to play polo. As a result, the status of polo rose and soon became a popular sport among dignitaries. However, the status of Cuju has plummeted, and it can only be reduced to the self-entertainment of the common people.

Xiao Ji naturally knows what cuju is, and he also understands his son's thoughts. After all, if the "spring test" really changes the event to cuju, the superiority of Liangzhou army and Youzhou army's superb riding skills will naturally disappear. It is indeed a lot fairer for the Jiaozhou Army and even the Forbidden Army.

But Xiao Ji didn't intend to spoil his son. In his opinion, Xiao Jie's desire to win was too strong.Moreover, the polo competition in the "Spring Examination" was decided by Emperor Taizu, and he didn't want to change it randomly if it was not necessary, so as not to provoke criticism from his subjects, saying that he had broken the law of the ancestors.

"Don't think that I don't know what you think in your heart. You are too competitive and don't want to lose anything, but the polo competition in the 'Spring Test' was set by Emperor Taizu. How can you change it if you say it? Yes." Xiao Ji glanced at Xiao Jie, and said angrily.

Xiao Jie smiled wryly in his heart, if it wasn't for the cheating mission released by the cheating system, how could he care about winning or losing the "spring test", and those who came to this imperial study for the New Year's Eve to make fun of themselves, but there was no turning back when they opened their bows, and they would have come by themselves Now that he's here, naturally he has to try every means to convince his father.

Fortunately, before he came, he had already expected that his father would not agree to this matter easily, and he had already thought out his speech in advance, so he didn't believe that he would not be able to say anything to his father.

"Father, please calm down. My son wants to change the competition items of the 'Spring Examination' not out of selfish desires, but for the safety of Daning's country."

Xiao Ji couldn't help frowning, isn't it just a small polo match?How could it have anything to do with the safety of Daning's country?

Xiao Jie naturally noticed the change in his father's expression, and continued to explain: "Father, the Liangzhou Army has won the No. 1 in the 'Spring Trial' for five consecutive years. If they take the No. In the minds of the Liangzhou Army, the Jiaozhou Army, and even the Forbidden Army, the Liangzhou Army is too strong to be defeated, which is definitely not a good thing."

Xiao Jie's words stopped abruptly at this point, he knew that his father would definitely be able to hear what he meant.

After all, Wang Cheng, the governor of Liangzhou, now supports his troops. If other troops in Daning are afraid of the Liangzhou army, it will indeed not be a good thing for the court.

Sure enough, after listening to Xiao Jie's words, Xiao Ji also frowned and fell into deep thought.

He also led soldiers when he was King Wuwei. He knew that polo was the most entertaining activity in the army, and he also knew how much the soldiers valued the outcome of the game. If other armies were defeated by the Liangzhou army all the year round , It is indeed a blow to their morale and fighting spirit. If Wang Cheng really changes in the future, it will be very unfavorable.

But despite this, Xiao Ji still didn't express his opinion immediately. After all, the polo competition in the "Spring Trial" was decided by Emperor Taizu.

"Aside from that, is there any other reason?"

Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Jie quietly, and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jie knew that Xiao Ji was moved, but now he needed a more reasonable reason to convince others.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie smiled slightly, and said, "Father, when Emperor Taizu set up the 'spring test', I think the main purpose was to let each army get an The opportunity of fair competition allows the winners to enjoy the joy of the winners and make persistent efforts in the next year, while the losers can learn from their shame and be brave and work hard in the next year."

"The reason why the event is set as polo is only because Emperor Taizu prefers polo, but now because the situation of Liangzhou Army, Youzhou Army, Jiaozhou Army and Forbidden Army are different, today's polo match It has already become the sole joy of the Liangzhou army, and it runs counter to the original idea of ​​the emperor Taizu's fair competition."

"Besides, now that the 'Spring Test' has become a major event for the people of Luoyang, what they also want to appreciate is a close match, not the outstanding performance of the Liangzhou Army. If the Liangzhou Army wins the championship every year, the people will come sooner or later It will also feel boring, I am afraid that the spring test will be reduced to tasteless, and in the end, the court will lose a great opportunity to have fun with the people instead?"

Xiao Jie spoke eloquently, and talked eloquently, making Xiao Ji nod repeatedly, knowing in his heart that his son had been prepared for a long time, otherwise he would not have spoken so clearly.

However, what Xiao Jie said was indeed true. The purpose of Emperor Taizu's establishment of the "Spring Examination" was to allow the armies of Daning to compete with each other and compete fairly. Now that the Liangzhou army is the only one, it really violated the original intention of the ancestors.

"What Huanger said is indeed reasonable, Lian Yi, you send someone to tell the Ministry of War that this year's 'Spring Test' competition should be changed to Cuju."

Xiao Jie secretly heaved a sigh of relief, although he had never played Cuju after traveling for so long, he thought it was not much different from football, not to mention that Xiao Huang probably had never played it before, but it really depends on his strength.

If it wasn't because he was afraid that his father would feel that he had ulterior motives, he would have wanted to persuade his father to change the game to modern football, after all, that was the rhythm of the game he was familiar with.

At this moment, Xiao Jie made up his mind. After the "spring test", he must work hard to promote modern football, find a way to develop football into a new national sport, and let the rise of Chinese football start from him!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie had another bold idea in his heart.

"Father, is your internal money short of money recently?" Xiao Jie asked boldly with a smile.

Internal money is relative to the national treasury, which is the private property and private property of the emperor and the royal family, and is mainly used for royal expenses.

Xiao Ji couldn't understand his son's frivolous appearance, and he didn't know why he inquired about his inner money for no reason. He frowned and reprimanded softly: "How can you be so frivolous as a prince? What's the point of inquiring about inner money?" ?”

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Father, please don't get me wrong. I don't mean to be disrespectful to my father. I just want to ask my father if I want to use this 'spring test' to earn a sum of money to subsidize my family."

Xiao Ji's expression instantly became weird.

My son, what kind of idea is he playing every day.
