In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 36 Yi Wang Loves Cuju

The Huaide Hall used to belong to the Yu family in the backyard, but now it is used by King Yi.

At a quarter of a hour every day, the teenagers got up and started running. In the first few days, they ran less. They ran along the outer corridor of Huaide Hall, three laps about one mile, twenty laps a day, ten laps in the morning, and ten laps before going to bed at night.

Rest for a few minutes after the run. Zhou Lai, Niu Bao and Quan Yong will supervise them to do physical training such as push-ups and leapfrogs according to King Yi's request. There are three rounds in total, each round is thirty, thirty steps, thirty (will gradually increase in the future).

After practicing at about five o'clock, Zhao Yurui would come to the compound of Huaide Palace after saying good morning to Mrs. Yu.

At this time, all teenagers including Quan Yong will practice 'stand at attention'.

Quan Yong didn't want to practice with the teenagers at first, but Zhao Yurui said that first he had to train Quan Yong well, and Quan Yong trained them later, otherwise they would let them practice Quan Yong after they finished training.

Quan Yong is a person who refuses to admit defeat. He immediately decided to practice hard and must take the lead.

It's just that he didn't understand, what's the use of practicing these things if my cousin asked them all to stand still for about half an hour?

When Quan Yong and Chen Xiaodao led the twenty teenagers standing motionless.

Zhao Yurui, Zhou Lai, and Niu Bao ran along the corridor.

The teenagers would stand for half an hour, while Zhao Yurui, Zhou Lai and Niu Bao would run fifteen laps. (about five miles).

After the run, Zhou Lai and Niu Bao did some physical training by themselves, while Zhao and Rui walked around behind the boys.

He is very demanding, with his chest up and his stomach in his chest, observing whether the teenagers are up to standard.

"Report." Quan Yong called out suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yurui looked at him dissatisfied.

"Biao—My lord, I'm sweating too much, I can't open my eyes, please wipe off the sweat."

"Then close your eyes and don't need to open them." Zhao Yurui said sharply, "Is my king sweating less than you?"

Quan Yong had no choice but to shut up, not daring to move.

Everyone knows that Quan Yong is the cousin of King Yi, and even the cousin cannot move, let alone the other teenagers.

But they didn't know that this was the plot discussed by Zhao Yurui and Quan Yong yesterday, and they deliberately acted it out for the teenagers.

Then Zhao Yurui walked around the teenagers and said, "Remember your distinction between left and right."

"The one with the red string on the leg is the left leg, and the one with the red string on the arm is the left hand."

"Untie the rope after ten days, if you still can't distinguish between the left and the right--" Zhao Yurui paused at this point, looking coldly at the boys.

Among them, the faces of ten teenagers of various ethnic groups changed slightly, and their hearts felt cold.

Many people couldn't help but think of the scene of the Mongolian teenager being wiped on his neck that day.

"Follow my orders."

Swipe, everyone slapped up.

At this time, they had been standing for almost 10 minutes, sweating profusely all over their bodies, but none of them dared to move.

"Right—foot—step forward."

Ba, Quan Yong took the lead in stepping out with his right foot.

The teenagers in the crowd stepped forward one after another, and many of them looked down at the red rope on their legs.

In desperation, three people stretched the wrong left leg.

Hiss, the faces of these three people changed drastically, they were startled and frightened.

"Others continue to stand still, and those who stretch the wrong leg, do two push-ups on the spot."

The three boys breathed a sigh of relief again. Fortunately, they just did two push-ups.

"Yan Miaorong."

"Here." The little girl Yan Miaorong was in a cool place nearby, so she hurried forward.

"Write it down, who stretched the wrong leg."

"Yes, King Yi." Yan Miaorong quickly took a pen and paper and wrote down the three people.

In addition to Quan Yong and Chen Xiaodao, there were twenty teenagers at the scene, all Han Chinese with their original names, and teenagers of various ethnic groups bought on the black market ranging from Quanda to Quanshi.

Wait for the three teenagers to finish their two push-ups.

"Follow my orders."

Swipe, the teenagers pricked up their ears again.

"Take a step back with your left foot."

This time there was a mistake.

Wrong, do three push-ups.

Then the demands got higher and higher.

"As you step forward with your right foot, raise your left hand."

Twelve people were wrong.

Do four push-ups.

"While taking a step forward with your left foot, raise your left hand."

Four people were wrong.

Do five push-ups.

Zhao and Rui yelled fifty times in a row, and finally fewer and fewer people made mistakes, and most of them could remember the wrong left and right.

Finally, "step forward with your left foot, then step forward with your right foot, and then raise your left hand."

When you hear this, let alone ancient people, even modern people may be a little dizzy.

In the end, two people made mistakes and each did [-] push-ups.

"Now you can basically distinguish between left and right. The direction of your left hand is the left. Look at me."

"This king turns to the left, that's called turning to the left."

"The king turns to the right, which is called turning to the right."

"Then what is this?"

Quan Yong immediately shouted: "It's turning backwards."

"Smart, add a big meat bun for breakfast later."

Hiss, the eyes of all the teenagers lit up and their mouths were drooling.

"listen."

"All turn left."

At the beginning, Zhao Yurui didn't teach you how to turn left or right, but just turn right. No matter how you turn, you should first distinguish between turning left and turning right.

"All turn right."

"All turn left."

Some people think that they will turn backwards for the third time, and turn directly wrong.

"First row to the left, second row to the right."

At about Chen's time, Zhao and Rui were going to study, and the teenagers all rested and had breakfast.

The breakfast was very rich, including buns, porridge, and rice cakes. In all the actions just now, four people did not miss it from beginning to end.

Quan Yong, Chen Xiaodao, Ji Hu'er, Quan Liu, two large meat buns each, and unlimited other vegetable buns and solid steamed buns.

Others are a vegetable bag and three solid steamed buns.

There was a Han youth who made fourteen mistakes and was warned. If he continued to make mistakes like this, he would be kicked out of the palace and his wages would be returned.

After breakfast, the teenagers will also learn to read and write.

When Zhao Yurui came back from class, it was probably after eight o'clock in the morning.

At this time, Zhao Yurui took out a ball and led everyone to play Cuju.

The yard of Huaide Hall has been cleaned up, and Zhao and Rui's cuju is similar to the rules of football in later generations, basically playing according to football.

"Every morning, the servants get up for a run first, and King Yi goes to see Mrs. Yu, and then goes to the Huaide Hall—"

Mo Ze reported to Shi Miyuanhui: "But King Yi deleted all other studies and only studied the Analects for half an hour in the morning."

"While King Yi was studying, the 21 young servants he bought also began to learn characters."

"The servants also read?" Shi Miyuan's face changed slightly.

"I don't read the books of the sages." Mo Ze said: "Emperor Li and Wei Liaoweng are teaching them, they don't read, they only know how to read and write, the officials went to check it, and they really didn't read the books of the sages, they were all basic characters , Start learning from their names and commonly used characters."

"Then what's the use of learning?" Shi Miyuan's face relaxed again.

"The subordinate officer doesn't know."

"You keep talking."

"After studying in the morning, he sometimes takes the teenagers to play cuju, but this cuju is different from ours before. There are seven or eight people in each team, and the rules are also different. King Yi seems to like it very much, and plays with them every day."

"..." Shi Miyuan was silent for a moment: "He is looking for so many people, so he wants to play cuju with him?" King Yi loves cuju?This is no problem, no wonder you want to run, Cuju needs to practice running.

"Sometimes when the sun is too big, you don't play cuju. Everyone will do a kind of cuju training. How can I say—"

"Yi Wang said that it is Cuju skill training, which is useful for improving Cuju skills."

Shi Miyuan nodded to him without saying a word.

Mo Ze thought for a while, bang, put both feet together, startling Shi Miyuan.

Then one foot was separated, and then both feet were combined, the posture was quite funny.

Then he started to walk again. He wanted to learn to walk in unison, but all of a sudden he walked out of the same hands and feet.

"Hey" Shi Miyuan smiled: "Just practice these?"

"Probably so." Moze smiled wryly.

"I still run every night, and then practice some strange movements, exactly the same as in the morning."

"What strange movement?" Shi Miyuan asked strangely.

Moze thought for a while, then suddenly lay down on the ground, did a few non-standard push-ups, then got up quickly, blushing and said: "It is said that it can improve some of our abilities?"

"What ability?" Shi Miyuan asked again.

Mo Ze's face was flushed red, after thinking about it, he lay down again, did a few more, and straightened himself up.

"Chi..." Shi Miyuan laughed again, quite speechless.

Moser reported to him one by one.

It took almost ten days for King Yi to stay in the palace, and his daily itinerary was similar.

Mo Ze said at the end: "King Yi seems to be more nostalgic, and he is very kind to the people who followed him from Shaoxing. At night, Mrs. Xu will accompany him." The widow, hey, Mo Ze shook his head for King Yi. Don't want so many young and beautiful ladies, but they always stay with widows.

Shi Miyuan walked slowly in the room with his hands behind his back, of course it is better to be nostalgic, and he will think of me in the future.

But King Yi stays in the palace all day long just to play Cuju?You should go to the palace more often.

Shi Miyuan said: "King Yi has just arrived in the capital, so I have to persuade him to pay more visits to officials and saints."

"After you go back, tell King Yi that every half month, you must enter the palace at least once to meet the elders."

The corner of Shi Miyuan's mouth turned up, thinking of Mrs. Zhong, the most beautiful woman in the palace, and if she wanted to separate Mrs. Zhong and Zhao Mian, she should let Zhao and Rui run to Renming Palace.

"Yes, the officer knows."
