On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor ordered a luncheon to be held to celebrate. Members of the royal family and senior officials in Lin'an were all present. After the banquet, Song Qinzong proposed: "My dear friends, it's still early, let's watch a polo game together." A popular entertainment activity in the upper class during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Participants were divided into two teams, with four to six people in each team. They rode on horses and hit small balls with long poles. The person who can hit the ball into the goal gets one point, and the first to score five points. The team with the highest points wins.) How about that?" Everyone agreed.
Everyone came to the Royal Horse Farm, and the emperor ordered that the Imperial Guards send four people to form one team, and the other team was composed of Tang Feng and his guards.
After the game started, both sides rushed their horses, trying to take the lead in hitting the ball and seizing the initiative. The eight horses shuttled back and forth like a revolving lantern, refusing to give in to each other.
At this time, Tang Feng remembered that there was a clip of a polo match in a TV series he had watched before time travel, so he shouted: "Don't be anxious, everyone. You have to run directly in front of the opponent who hit the ball last time to win the ball. You have to cooperate with each other, not each other. To fight." Under the command of Tang Feng, the players finally scored a goal.
In the game, both sides have advantages. Tang Feng's team members are soldiers in the field army and have superior riding skills. The Imperial Guards have many experiences playing polo. Both sides will encounter good talents when they meet their opponents. The game lasted for half an hour ( About an hour) The Royal Guards team won, but the Tang Feng team also got three points.
That night, Song Qinzong went to the harem to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor. After sitting down, Song Qinzong said: "Father, I finally thought of a way to win over General Tang Feng." The Supreme Emperor said: "Let's talk about it." Song Qinzong said: "Father, you can win over General Tang Feng." Marry a princess to him, and she will become your son-in-law and your son-in-law's brother-in-law. She will definitely defend Shu with all her heart and resist the Jin army." The Supreme Emperor said: "This method is feasible. Years old (a girl is considered an adult when she is fourteen years old). The only unmarried princess left is Emperor Roufu. I want to ask Concubine Qiao for her opinion." After Song Qinzong left, the Supreme Emperor told Concubine Qiao to see her. After saluting, the Supreme Emperor asked someone to give Concubine Qiao a visit. The concubine looked at her seat. After taking her seat, the Supreme Emperor first asked about Concubine Qiao and Emperor Roufu's current situation, and then changed the subject and asked: "Our child (referring to Emperor Roufu) has reached the age to get married. As for the future son-in-law, Do you have a favorite candidate?" Concubine Qiao thought for a moment and then said: "The prefect of Lin'an (equivalent to the mayor) Gao Shirong is good. He is a descendant of the founding father of Bohai County, Gao Huaide, and comes from a well-known family. Moreover, Gao Shirong serves in Lin'an, and his daughter married After giving it to him, he won't be alone in the empty house." The Supreme Emperor said: "What do you think of Tang Feng?" Concubine Qiao asked: "Do you want to recruit Tang Feng as your consort?" The Supreme Emperor nodded: "This can win over him, which will be beneficial to the country. ." Concubine Qiao said: "I think Tang Feng is not as good as Gao Shirong. He is a foreign official (an official outside the capital). After Huanhuan marries him, she will spend less time together and stay away more. If she marries Gao Shirong, this problem will not exist. I hope you will think twice." The Supreme Emperor said, "You should ask Huan Huan. After all, this is her lifelong event. You should go back first." After Concubine Qiao left, the Supreme Emperor told Emperor Roufu to see her. After he sat down, the Supreme Emperor asked : "Huan Huan (the nickname of Emperor Roufu), you have reached the age of getting married. As a father, I want to hear your own thoughts. Do you want your future husband to be a civil servant or a military general?" Emperor Roufu said: " Father, this is a time of war, and it feels safer to marry a military general." The Supreme Emperor replied, "I understand."
