villain

Chapter 197

Emperor Han felt quite bored. He read the books presented by Dongguan scholars for a while in the study, and then put them on the table.

The books are all sorted out by Dong Guan, with punctuation marks created by Dong Jiazi for punctuation, without any annotations, which seems to have a special flavor.It's just that Emperor Han had already familiarized himself with these classics, so he didn't find them interesting.On the contrary, the Tao Te Ching presented by Dong Jiazi was quite interesting.

To be honest, in the eyes of Emperor Han, Dong Bi's Tao Te Ching can be said to be full of mistakes and omissions, and sometimes it even made Emperor Han laugh.But it is this Tao Te Ching that is widely circulated nowadays, and many scholars have copied a copy in their hands.

It's not for the pursuit, but for holding back energy and preparing to make Dong Bi look ugly.

How could Emperor Han not understand the thoughts of the scholars?But he didn't want to stop it, on the contrary, he wanted to join in the fun.Dong Jiazi brought him too many unusual surprises, who knows what will happen next time?

"Jian Shuo!"

Emperor Han stood up and shouted towards the door of the study.

Jian Shuo, who was dressed as a court attendant, hurried into the study.The other servants, Huang Men, walked in small steps, hunched over, respectful.But this Jian Shuo was not like that, instead he walked with his head held high and his chest held high.Although he is already an incomplete man, he still tried his best to reveal a kind of masculinity between his steps.

In the palace for many years, Jian Shuo can be said to know Emperor Han very well.

This master is rich, but he is by no means a fatuous master, he just likes to be unconventional and make some strange things.

It's better to stand alone than to stand out from the crowd.

In fact, it was this purposefully disguised masculinity that made Jian Shuo stand out from the crowd of servants.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Emperor Han was in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "What fun things have you done recently?"

"Fun thing?"

Jian Shuo thought for a while and said with a smile: "There are a lot of interesting things to say, but the most interesting thing is the famous trick created by the Dong family."

Whenever he heard the three words Dong Jiazi, Emperor Han became very interested.

A few days ago, this daring Dong family son actually imitated Zhou Yafu in the pre-dynasty period and killed Gao Wang, which shocked the government and the public.Ever since Emperor Guangwu, especially since the first great general Ma Wu was killed because of his unruliness, warriors have always been careful like grandsons.

But this Dong Jiazi is different from other warriors. He is afraid that others will not know that he is arrogant, and he will come out to make troubles every now and then.

Perhaps it was this kind of maverick that made Emperor Han extremely interested in Dong Bi.

"What tricks did the Dong family come up with?"

"Your Majesty, the Dong family has come up with a kick-jumping competition, that is, two goals are set up in the school field, divided into two sides, one side guards a goal, and each other has offense and defense. Whoever hits the polo into the opponent's goal more times, who Even if it is the winner, the loser will invite the winner to drink."

Emperor Han was taken aback, and his interest became even higher, "Is there such a thing?"

"That's right... I went to watch it once before. It was a battle between the relatives of the Dong family in the Luanwei camp and the barbarians in the Changshui camp. It was very lively. On the outside, there were people betting on who would win and who would lose. They all ran to place bets."

"Then who is the big winner?"

Jian Shuo really wanted to put his hands on his mouth and snigger, but resisted the urge, and laughed out loud pretending to be heroic.

"The big winner is the son of the Dong family."

"Oh?"

Emperor Han was more interested, "How much did Dong Jiazi win?"

"My servant once heard some news in private, saying that the gambling game of Juju was actually set up jointly by the Dong family and some people. In the game three days ago, the Dong family won tens of millions of dollars at once, but most of them have already had a lot of money. My father said that it was the Dong family's son's wish to put it in the inner palace... Your Majesty, this Dong family's son is a sensible person."

Emperor Han laughed when he heard this.

But I was thinking in my heart, this matter has such a great benefit, why can't I handle it?
But then I thought about it again: Dong Jiazi must have a secret to set up a scheme to make money... If I intervene, what if something goes wrong?Anyway, there are half of the benefits, and I will enjoy the benefits. If it doesn't work, I will add fuel to the flames secretly, and there will definitely be more benefits.

Where is the benefit of Emperor Han's thinking?
But it is the wealth of the aristocratic family in the city.

Those aristocratic clans are rich in wealth, and some people have more rare treasures in their homes, even more than Han Emperor, and they have long been displeased.Just using this as an excuse to plunder a fortune, on the one hand to fill the treasury, and on the other hand to export evil spirits.

Thinking of this, Handi became even more curious.

"Such an interesting thing, why didn't you report it to me earlier? By the way, there is that one today, what is it called?"

"Kill!"

"Yes, it's the Juju competition?"

"It seems that there will be an event in the afternoon, and it happens to be Luanwei battalion vs. Shesheng battalion... Does the emperor want to watch it?"

Emperor Handi thought about it, and there seemed to be nothing wrong in the afternoon.

It was decided immediately, "Call the queens of the two palaces, and go to the Beigong school ground to watch the battle together."

"Slaves, let's make arrangements now!"

Since Emperor Han wants to come out to watch the battle, he will naturally make a lot of publicity.

After all, the world is in turmoil today, and wars are happening everywhere. The Han Emperor's move just happened to show peace, and at the same time showed his heart to share the joy with the people. Of course, he could not do it casually.There are still two hours before the game time, but for Jian Shuo, it is still a bit short.In desperation, he pulled Zhang Rang and others into a frenzy for a long time.

Just after noon, the Nine Dragons Golden Chariot marched out of the imperial city. First, it circled the city to declare the majesty of the royal family, and then arrived at the Beigong school grounds.At this time, the Beigong school grounds were already crowded with people, and it was a lively scene.

Empress He sat quietly behind Han Emperor's side, unavoidably a little nervous.

Of course, she had heard about polo. According to her brother He Jin, the Jujutsu competition was originally created by the Dong family to train Prince Bian.These days, seeing his son come back with a bruised nose and a swollen face, his heart hurts to death.However, the smiles on the son's face became more and more, and he seemed to be in order when he spoke. Empress He was very happy.

For Dong Bi, I hate and appreciate him at the same time.

What I hate is that this son of the Dong family makes a fuss for nothing, and makes a prince fall asleep right after returning to the palace. His exhausted appearance makes a mother shed tears when she sees it.

What is grateful is that Dong Jiazi is very interested in Liu Bian, only seeing the change of Prince Bian, how can a mother be unhappy?
I just don't know what the outcome of today's shooting battle will be.

When he came to the school grounds, he heard the mountains shouting like a tsunami shouting long live, Han Di smiled and led the queen to the viewing platform.

After noon, only a black dwarf was seen waving the military flag under the viewing platform, and shouted: "The battle of killing has begun, contestants from both sides enter the arena!"

"What is a player?"

Emperor Han couldn't help asking strangely.

Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent servants, immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the word "player" was created by Dong Jiazi, which means soldiers who participated in the battle. Because the people who participated in the battle were selected from the soldiers of the two battalions, they were called "players." ..."

Emperor Han nodded with a smile, and looked around, only to find that the two sides of the viewing platform were full of court officials.

Even those Dr. Dongguan who never liked to join in the fun were among them.On the one hand, the General and Yuan Kui are leading, while on the other, Cai Yong and Lu Zhi are leading.They are lined up on both sides of the viewing platform, and they are clearly divided into two camps.However, although there were few people in the East View camp, they gathered together.On the other side, however, it was divided into several sections, showing different small camps.In general, at a glance, we can see the division of the major powers of the Han court.

"Why are Cai Weng and Lu Zhi here?"

Facing the Dongguan people coming out in full force, Emperor Han could not help but frown slightly.

Jian Shuo immediately explained: "Your Majesty, Dr. Dongguan has already joined the game..."

"Oh?"

"Every Luanweiying competition, Cai Weng will definitely pull Dongguan people out to cheer. It is said that Lu Gong didn't want to participate in the beginning, but after a few small wins, the interest came. He must participate in every competition , and also took part in the gambling game, and I heard people said that he won a lot, and recently it was said that Lu Gong laughed when he saw people, and his smile was still very bright."

To be honest, Emperor Han was very afraid of Lu Zhi
But hearing what Jian Shuo said, he felt a lot more relaxed.Lu Zhi is also a mortal!

Emperor Han was not afraid of Lu Zhi winning money, but he was afraid that he would call friends and talk about scriptures every day.Now, seeing that Lu Zhi pursued something, Emperor Han was relieved a lot.I was still thinking in my heart: let this old man gamble, it is best to gamble and lose his fortune.

On the contrary, it was Cai Yong's actions that made Emperor Han more interesting.

Since Cai Yong left Dongguan, Dr. Dongguan has almost no leader.Liu Hong's prestige is not enough, and Lu Zhi...

Emperor Han began to ponder whether to let Cai Yong return to Dongguan?

But he said in his mouth: "The daughter of the Cai family has not yet married the Dong family son, but Cai Weng has already done her best for the Dong family son. I am afraid that if the Dong family son really becomes his son-in-law in the future, this Weng Cai will work harder to cheer for the Dong family son!"

"Your Majesty, in fact... the son of the Dong family has become Cai Weng's son-in-law, and he is almost inseparable."

"Oh?"

Empress Dong said a few words in Emperor Han's ear, which made Emperor Han laugh non-stop, "I just said how can Weng Cai accept such a different-looking man as the son-in-law of the Dong family. It turns out that the daughter has been... , I think Cai Weng is more helpless than joy."

"Good regards, Your Majesty!"

Although Empress He didn't hear what Empress Dong said, she already understood the mystery and couldn't help laughing softly.

Here, Empress Dong hugged Prince Xie, and was about to speak when she heard the rumble of drums in the school grounds, resounding through the sky.

Amidst the sound of the war drums, there was a murderous look, followed by two teams of knights galloping out from both sides, all in cowhide sleeve armor as armor, holding a long-handled ball mallet, and entered the school grounds.For a while, there were cheers all around the school grounds, which was very lively.

Dong Bi was wearing black armor and entered the arena at the same time as the captain of the Shesheng Camp.

"What do these two people do?"

"Report to the emperor, these two are coaches!"

"coach?"

"It is the person who teaches and trains, and it is also a term created by Dong Jiazi. You see, there are other battalion captains around here as referees, who are the ones who judge and adjudicate the game... In short, Dong Jiazi paid a lot of money for this battle of killing." A lot of thought."

On the viewing stand, Zhang Rang and others kept explaining the rules.

In the school field, Dong Bi felt aggrieved.In a flash of inspiration that day, I remembered the polo I had seen on TV.

The college students in the village have said that this polo is a royal game in foreign countries, and it is extremely elegant.

Dong Bi didn't understand the rules of polo, but after thinking about it, he immediately discussed it with Cai Yan.Unexpectedly, this polo actually existed in this era, and it was called Jiju.It was originally a game played by the Hu people outside the Great Wall, but now it has become a kind of performance.Even Dong Lu knew this kind of game, and said that he had seen Qiang people playing in Longxi, so he knew a thing or two.

In desperation, Dong Bi simply used some rules of future football and combined them with the existing shooting rules.

After playing with the Northern Army once or twice, it turned out to be very popular, and even Prince Bian happily joined.

In any case, Prince Bian was finally interested, and Dong Bi had achieved his goal.

But what I didn't expect was that the barbarians from Changshuiying found out that they were just playing in the school grounds, and immediately came to ask to join.

After this battalion joined, the reputation spread, and it soon became known to passers-by.

Ma Song, who had just arrived in Luoyang, keenly grasped the business opportunities here, and proposed to set up a gambling game, which became popular in Luoyang for a while.

At the beginning, it was just a small fight, but later, I couldn't stop it!
First of all, Wu Yan, the captain of Changshuiying, came to visit, and there was the first match-fixing case in the history of the village.Then with the joining of the fifth school of the Northern Army, even the left and right cavalry of the Habayashi Army were also involved. After Dong Bi found out the clues, he couldn't hold back anymore.

One month, just one month.

Dong Bi made tens of millions of dollars just by collecting handling fees, not to mention the benefits he gained from joining in himself.Luoyang dignitaries bet one after another, some because of their gambling nature, and some because they wanted to embarrass Dong Pi.

Dong Bi was not afraid of this, so he simply called Tang Zhou and Ban Zhi to discuss in detail, and came up with a set of professional cheating methods.

Even the camp owners and generals now see Dong Bi as the elder brother and the younger brother, so they are very affectionate.

Match-fixing, the match-fixing Dong Bi hated quite a lot in his previous life, did not expect him to handle it all by himself, and it is difficult to stop it.

However, Dong Bi didn't expect that even the emperor would be alarmed by this incident.

Riding on the horse, he gave the lieutenant of the Shesheng Battalion a wink, which meant that he had to cheer up today.

Chun Yuqiong, the captain of the Shesheng Camp, uncharacteristically ignored him, with a very serious expression, as if he didn't know Dong Pi.

There is also Chun Yuqiong in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who was later attacked by Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu, causing Yuan Shao to burn hundreds of thousands of food and grass hoarded by the army, and finally ended in a disastrous defeat.

Dong Bi didn't know whether this Chunyu Qiong was that Chunyu Qiong.

But when I saw his face, my heart skipped a beat, and I vaguely felt something was wrong.

In the past month, Chunyu Qiong has made a lot of money relying on him, not to mention the intimacy when seeing Dong Bi on weekdays.Now it is serious, but it makes Dong Bi feel a little bad.I don't know what kind of tricks Chunyu Qiong is trying to do?

When the start whistle was blown, Dong Bi secretly grabbed Zhang Xiu, who is now Sima of the Beigong Army.

"Brother Zhang Xiu, be careful of the sound camp, those grandsons seem to be messing around today. Tell the brothers, beat them to death..."

Zhang Xiu is now the main force of the Luan Guards Camp. He has integrated marksmanship into shooting and killing. He can be called the number one in Luoyang. He is the dream lover and idol of countless Luoyang girls.Hearing this, he nodded, urged his horse into the arena, and raised his mallet to signal to those around him.

In an instant, there were screams everywhere.

The girls watching the battle shouted Zhang Xiu's name one after another, their hysterical appearance was no less than that of future fans.

That cry made Emperor Han frown.

"How can a small contestant be so supportive? Queen, what do you think will happen if I play?"

Empress He and Empress Dong laughed at the same time.

"It must be invincible!"

"I think so too..."

Just then, the whistle sounded.

The cavalry on both sides raised their hammers and bowed one after another, and the battle became one.

Beside Dong Bi, Prince Bian was eager to try, and kept asking: "Dong Qing, when will Gu play?"

It's no wonder that Prince Bian is so excited. Today, Emperor Han watched the battle, and he also heard about it.Always wanted to show a glance in front of Lao Tzu, even a little impatient.But Dong Bi's brows were frowned into a Sichuan character, and he muttered to himself, something is wrong.

The people in the Shesheng camp didn't seem to be beating people, but hitting people.

Several times, he knocked on Zhang Xiu's head, clearly wanting someone's life.Fortunately, Zhang Xiu was superb in equestrian skills and martial arts, so he narrowly escaped.

After several crises, the Beigong guards saw the clues.

"This is a foul!"

Cai Yong suddenly roared, rolled up his sleeves and yelled loudly from the sidelines, "Where are the referees, why are you blind when you don't see the referee?"

Handi was drinking and watching the battle on the stage. Anyway, it was lively to watch, as long as he was happy to watch.

Mr. Cai let out an angry shout, which made him spit out the drink in one gulp.

"Ahem, why is Cai Weng so angry?"

"Your Majesty, Cai Weng is quite elegant today. Last time he quarreled with Yuan Taifu, and even wanted to fight with his fists?"

Before Cai Yong finished speaking, Lu Zhi jumped up and shouted, "You bastard, should you kill him? Referee, call him a foul... If you don't blow the whistle, I will cut you off with a sword." ... another foul!"

Well, Lu Zhi, who is usually gentle and refined, cursed loudly.

Instead, everyone on the viewing platform was stunned.

Dr. Dong Guan sang in unison, greeting the family members of those referees.

Han Di muttered to himself: "It seems that Lu Gong seems to have suppressed a lot this time...Asshole... Zhang Rang, is this a foul?"

On the school grounds, the Beigong guard was knocked off his horse by the Shesheng Battalion, and his arm seemed to be broken.

Cold sweat dripped from Zhang Rang's forehead, "The emperor said it was a foul, so it must be a foul!"

On the other side, General He Jin had already drawn his sword, as if he forgot that the emperor was there, "Don't stop me, let me hack these grandchildren to death...Damn it, black whistle, black whistle..."

Yuan Kai's gang tried their best to hold He Jin back, so they didn't let him rush in.

"Don't worry about Suigao. You see, the Dong family is such an easy-going person? Damn it, who is supervising today?"

For a while, boos were heard around the school grounds.

Emperor Han asked in confusion: "What is a black whistle? What is supervision?"

"Black whistle, black whistle is unfair, it seems to be a phrase invented by the Dong family; as for supervision, the old slave doesn't quite understand it."

"Then who is the supervisor today?"

"Your Majesty, it seems to be Song Dian..."

Emperor Han said to himself, "Since it is a black whistle, it should be pulled down and chopped down!"

Zhang Rang and the others were stunned.

Xu Shi didn't expect such a big commotion, and the captains of the battalions who acted as referees felt a little guilty.

At this time, the actions of Sheshengying angered Dong Bi.

"rustle!"

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

"Go out and kill them..."

Sha Moke has also been intensively studying the bow recently. Hearing this, without saying a word, he flew on the horse and took the mallet to the court.

His mallet is as thick as the mouth of a bowl.This guy's natural power is usually practiced by himself, and few people are willing to fight him.So much so that Shamoko hasn't played since the first shooting battle.As soon as it came out now, the mallet was the first to surprise people.The Beigong guard who was injured over there shouted from the sidelines: "Third Master, avenge the little one!"

"Who is this person?"

Jian Shuo hurriedly replied, "This is the sworn brother of Dong's family son, ranking third, a barbarian from Wuxi, named Sha Moke."

"A true warrior!" Emperor Han exclaimed loudly.

This Sha Moke came on the stage, and he was really brave.

Since the second brother opened his mouth to kill the other party, how could he be polite.

Equestrian skills may be superb, and the skill of bowing is not perfect.But this time he went on the field, hehe twice, the bowl-thick ball fell down, and the soldiers of the two Shesheng Battalion were beaten to vomit blood on their horses, and the guards of Beigong suddenly became angry.

Prince Bian swung his club and rode his horse around the sidelines: "Third brother, play well, kill these bastards..."

Emperor Han was stunned, "How can I tell where it is? I said I couldn't find him, so he was in this place. Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Empress He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Bian has been training since a month ago, and now he is a member of Beigongluan Guards."

"Oh?"

Emperor Handi raised his eyebrows, "This child looks different from before."

Empress Dong sneered, "That's right, it's getting more and more frivolous!"

Empress He turned her head and glared at Empress Dong. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Emperor Han say: "Don't talk about this... I don't know if you will play? Jian Shuo, tell me that anyone who dares to hurt the prince will be punished." His nine clans, did you hear that?"

Empress Dong and Empress He both kept their mouths shut.

But at the same time, a question arose in my heart: If so, then why fight?
Sha Moke beat four or five soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion until they vomited blood, which made the surrounding audience applaud loudly, and gave him the nickname, Sand Demon King.

However, the Sand Demon King didn't take long to be proud when the whistle sounded and the six offenders ended.

He committed six fouls after only a few minutes on the field, which has never happened in the past month of games.

Even so, there was applause all around.

At this time, Emperor Han's order was also conveyed, and Dong Bi learned the news at the same time.

He called over to identify the prince, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's your turn to play!"

"Ah, can Gu play?"

"Remember, take out the results of this month's hard training and perform well. Don't let the emperor look down on His Highness."

Liu Bian was overjoyed, got on his horse, picked up the mallet and went on the field.

Under the viewing platform, Cao Cao also introduced the identity of Prince Bian, which meant to remind the battalion captains: Brothers, I just played a little too much... Be careful this time, Beigong still has a unique trick. , don't make a fuss.

Before this match, Liu Bian had never played before, and the soldiers of each battalion didn't even know that this Juju was originally set up by Dong Pi for Prince Bian.

Chunyuqiong's face changed suddenly, and he looked up to the viewing platform.

Then Song Dian, with a pale face, how could he have thought... Dong Jiazi actually asked Prince Bian to compete?

The nature of the competition suddenly changed, everyone almost revolved around Prince Bian, only to see Prince Bian was on the horse with a left shot and a right hammer, no one dared to compete with him wherever he went.The captains of the battalions who acted as referees turned pale and cursed Dong Bi for being shameless.

But in order to highlight the majestic appearance of Prince Bian, everyone cooperated extremely.

The score also soared all the way, and Empress He looked happy on the viewing platform.How can a mother not want to see her son's success?Empress Dong showed even more contempt, and sneered a few times from time to time, which did not disturb Emperor Han's interest.

In fact, Emperor Han is also very strange now.

He has always looked down on Liu Bian, thinking that this son is too cowardly.But from this game, that cowardice seems to be much less, and he has a bit of his heroic appearance back then.It's just that in the presence of such a large audience, the behavior of the judge is a bit frivolous.

I still don't like Liu Bian, but unconsciously, the feeling of disgust seems to have become weaker.

Staring blankly at Liu Bian who was galloping in the school field, Emperor Han unconsciously turned his head and glanced at Empress He, his gaze became more complicated.
