Jin Renwen was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Yes, Sanlang, that's what you said. What you said, I thought you would become a monk?"
"How is that possible?" Wang Wenzuo laughed and said, "I just know myself."
"Saburo, I have never seen a talent like you. If the prince catches his eye, he will definitely——"
"Brother Renshou!" Wang Wenzuo raised his right hand and interrupted Jin Renwen's persuasion: "His Majesty Donggong is only eleven or twelve years old this year. Not to mention ascending the throne, even if he can supervise the country and govern the country, he still has at least five or six years, right? Here In five or six years, anything can happen. No, it should be said that there will definitely be a lot of repetitions, don't you think?"
"That's true, but this is a great achievement, so you can't take any risks, right? Don't you think Li Jingye knows this? He's following it like a duck!"
"Brother Renshou, can I be the same as him?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "He is the direct grandson of the British Duke, a founding hero left behind by the late emperor. As long as he is not treason, even if he pokes a huge hole, someone will repair it. Come on, if the important thing is changed by me, any small mistake will be irreversible. Even if the prince ascends the throne later, can I still come back from the dead? "
"Sanlang, you are right. I did not think it through properly!" Jin Renwen pondered for a moment and then nodded. Just as Wang Wenzuo said, there must be many twists and turns in the way for the prince to inherit the throne. Of course, even the prince's enemies will not. He would be stupid enough to attack the prince himself, but instead target the prince's subordinates and supporters, indirectly attacking the prince's group. The blood bar of a nobleman like Li Jingye is long enough, and he will probably survive until the crown prince ascends the throne to enjoy the fruits of victory. However, unless a descendant of a poor family like Wang Wenzuo is very lucky, he will most likely perish in the process. Even if the crown prince ascends the throne later, how can he give a posthumous gift? , the reward, I will definitely not be able to see it.
"Jin Langjun! The prince has been summoned!" The palace maid's crimson dress showed purple under the candlelight. Wang Wenzuo frowned. He didn't like this color because it reminded him of solidified blood.
"Sanlang, it must be about polo. You come with me!" Jin Renwen took Wang Wenzuo's arm. Wang Wenzuo stood up helplessly and followed Jin Renwen. Under the guidance of the palace maid in scarlet clothes, the two walked through the passage behind the big pillar and walked towards the back of the palace. Wang Wenzuo could feel the sights coming from all directions, like arrows, penetrating to the bone.
"Jin Jiaoyu, you're here!"
By the standards of a twelve-year-old boy, Prince Li Hong is very tall. His face shape, nose and mouth are very similar to his mother's, and his eyes are very similar to his father's, making his beautiful face look a bit melancholy. , the golden crown pressed against his thick black hair, maybe because of the wine he had just drunk, his cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
"The humble minister pays homage to Your Highness!" Jin Renwen bowed to the Crown Prince, and then pointed at Wang Wenzuo beside him: "This is Wang Wenzuo, the soldier of the Governor's Office of Xiongjin, who came up with the polo strategy!"
"Oh, so you are Wang Canjun. Jin Jiaoyu mentioned you to me just now." The prince looked at Wang Wenzuo curiously: "Have you ever played polo before?"
"Your Majesty, have you ever played polo?"
"Have you never played polo?" The prince looked a little disappointed and turned to Jin Ren with questioning eyes.
"What does it matter whether Wang Canjun has played polo or not?" Jin Ren asked with a smile, "As long as this method works!"
"Jin Jiaoyu thinks this method is useful?" The prince's eyes ignited with hope again.
"Not bad!" Jin Renwen said firmly: "There are actually two differences between the East Palace and the North Gate Forbidden Army: the horsepower is not as good, the sprint speed is not as good, and the endurance is not as good as well; the people are not as good, and the handmen are immediately inferior. And if according to what Wang Canjun said Yes, our horses can run a lot less, and the gap in horsepower has been narrowed a lot. Isn’t this a great thing?”
"That's true. Although the British Duke and his family sent a few good horses over, the horses in the East Palace are indeed quite different from those in the North Gate Forbidden Army. If we can equalize this aspect, although we still can't win, But at least you can lose less!"
"Your Highness, if I follow my method, not only can the horsepower be regained, but even the human gap will not be difficult to make up!" Wang Wenzuo said.
"Oh? Wang Canjun, what else can you do?" the prince asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, could you please bring us a set of Go games so that I can demonstrate it to Your Highness?"
"Come here, get the set of Go from the desk in my study!" the prince said.
After a while, the palace maid held a piece of catalpa tree and two barnacles, placed them on the desk in front of the prince, and then silently retreated behind the prince.
"Wang Shenjun, please!" the prince said.
"Here!" Wang Wenzuo responded, walked to the desk and said, "I have asked Brother Renshou that the distance of a polo player's stroke is about twenty-five steps, so the distance of one square on the chessboard is two. Fifteen steps, I wonder how big the court is? How many players are there in each? How to calculate victory and loss."
"Is it necessary to be so meticulous?" the prince replied hesitantly.
"Of course it is necessary!" Wang Wenzuo said solemnly: "The big stadium has the playing style of the big stadium, the small court has the playing style of the small stadium, ten people have the playing style of ten people, fifteen people have the playing style of fifteen people, There is a play method of first goal winning, and whoever gets enough chips first wins. There is a play method of first getting enough chips to win. If Your Highness wants to win, you must first determine the rules!"
Wang Wenzuo asked this intentionally. Different from modern sports with strict rules, polo in the Tang Dynasty did not have unified regulations on the size of the field, the number of players on both sides, or even the rules of victory and defeat. For example, in "Fengshi's Experience and Information" "" records a polo match between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the fourth year of Jinglong, Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang side played four riders against the Tubo side's ten riders. The four riders of the Tang side also included the future Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. There are also two ways to calculate the outcome: the first is that the first one to score the ball into the opponent's goal wins, and the latter is to set a number first, and whoever scores so many goals first wins. In Wang Wenzuo's view, it is very natural to use the familiarity with the rules to win. For Prince Li Hong, the polo match is about whose horse is better and who has better playing skills. Using the rules will inevitably lead to defeat.
After all, the prince was still an eleven or twelve-year-old child. After hearing Wang Wenzuo's words, he completely forgot that Wang Wenzuo had said that he had never played polo. He looked at Wang Wenzuo with a hint of admiration: "Of course I am. If you want to win, what should you do first?”
