The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

In Chang'an, many people are thinking about how to get in touch with the King of Jingyang.

They think that if they have a good relationship, they can at least have some soup even if they can't eat meat.

But look at who he usually hangs out with.

They are all important officials in the court, and they are all important officials around His Majesty.

What good things are there in the King of Jingyang's manor, the king's manor enjoys them first, and then they are sent to the palace, and then the group of people who are close to the King of Jingyang.

But I have never heard that the good things in the manor of Jingyang County are missing in their manor. Look at what gifts people give during festivals.

Let's not talk about how much they are worth. Good things are really in short supply. Take the Wude wine for example. You can't buy it even if you queue up at the manor.

The key is that these are all small things.

I heard that the service area built in Linying County, whether it is the Changsun family or the Du family, has benefited from it.

At present, we don't know how much the benefit is worth, but it can be given to them. From this point of view, it is extraordinary.

The key is that His Majesty still agrees. These are all open and aboveboard, fair and aboveboard benefits.

Li Fu is still chatting with Sun Simiao and the others, and chatting with the guards sitting behind him.

The people next to him are still thinking about how to talk to him naturally.

Soon, the people who bought tickets entered the venue, and the sound of drums rang out in the entire arena.

Looking closely at the venue, there are a circle of cowhide drums around, and in front of each drum stands a big man with a pair of drumsticks in his hands, dancing vigorously.

This venue is large, but there is no amplification equipment at the moment, otherwise the whole stage will be raised, and the emperor will stand on it to say a few words.

This venue is different from a stage.

How can people around hear the opera clearly on the stage?

Many dignitaries have pavilions, rockeries and pools in their backyards, gardens and pavilions.

When they invite people to perform at home, they perform on the stage in the middle of the pool, which also uses the sound amplification function of the water surface.

If there is a special outdoor large stage, a well is dug right under the stage. This well is a resonance well. The sound of the people singing on the stage can be amplified through this well.

In addition to the well, the effect is the same if you put some large water tanks.

This is the most primitive loudspeaker and sound.

For example, the Shuijingtai of Jin Temple. When the Shuijingtai was repaired, the surrounding villagers would invite operas on the sixth day of the ninth lunar month and the second to fourth day of the seventh lunar month every year. There would be a large crowd of people coming to watch the opera.

At first, when the people who came here to attend the fair started, they stood far away and could not hear clearly. The people on the stage tried their best to hear clearly.

So people said that the stage was built wrong.

Later, the craftsmen bought eight large water tanks and buried them in the ground on both sides of the stage. In this way, the problem was solved. No matter where you stand, you can hear the movement on the stage clearly.

As for why the Shuijingtai is mentioned.

When Li Yuan started his army, he swore an oath in Jin Temple.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Jin Temple, the people around him tied up the two confidants arranged by Emperor Yang of Sui.

After the Jin Temple swore an oath to start the army, it took more than 100 days to capture Chang'an, and he became emperor the next year.

But the arena is different from the stage. There is no place to dig a well.

This venue is so large, open and wide.

Because of demand, the ground in the venue has been compacted and leveled.

It doesn't matter how many tanks are placed around the stage.

The sound amplification can't be that strong.

When it was first built, it was not without consideration, for example, the echo wall of the Temple of Heaven.

But how big is the Temple of Heaven? The situation is incomparable to the current situation.

So the opening speech was omitted.

As for how to remind everyone in the stadium to start the game.

Can't the gongs and drums replace the noise that can't be made by the throat?

What kind of scene is it with 7,000 people sitting here? Even if you shout your throat out on the stage, no one can hear you at the back.

People who often lead troops know that to convey orders in front of the battlefield, messengers have to ride horses to various units, or use flag signals and beacon towers.

The dense drumbeats in the stadium focused everyone's attention.

Then, the drumbeats stopped and the stadium was quiet.

Then, three more drumbeats sounded.

The polo teams of both sides entered the stadium.

The polo players were in high spirits, riding tall horses, holding sticks, and riding their horses to the field in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

It was also the first time for them to play polo in such a venue with so many people watching.

There was warm applause and cheers all around.All of a sudden, everything feels a little different.

Excited, thrilled.

In such a big scene, everyone secretly told themselves that they had to show their skills in today's game. If they made a fool of themselves in front of so many people, they would not be able to hold their faces.

If they played well, they would be so glorious.

Every polo player who entered the field thought so after feeling the atmosphere on the scene.

After the two polo teams entered the field.

The referee came on the field, gave some instructions, and then returned to the sidelines.

The sidelines were used for scoring, and a tall wooden frame was built.

If a team scored a goal, a special person would pick a red silk flower on the wooden frame of the team and hang it on the wooden frame.

In this way, everyone in the field can clearly see the score.

There is also a small scoring table on the sidelines, which is no different from the usual polo game.

The fancy work is completely to satisfy the audience in the field.

After everything was ready, a bell rang and the game began.

The polo players on both sides of the field became active, and the audience in the stands also became excited.

This is the most grand polo match in history.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

The players in the field controlled the horses under their crotch to gallop on the grass, colliding with each other, and the horses also made deafening neighs.

The players held the reins in one hand and the sticks in the other hand, staring at the small ball rolling on the ground.

Suddenly, the player swung the stick with force, the ball was thrown high, and then hit hard in the opposite direction.

"Good!!!!"

Seeing such a scene, the audience on the sidelines burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Let alone whether the ball was played well, just this one move can show the player's control of the horse, superb riding skills, and the accuracy of the ball in his hand.

This is really a technical job.

Otherwise, sitting on the horseback, swinging the bat like a machete, and failing to hit the ball, it would be a waste.

The audience in the stands cheered excitedly and watched the game intently.
