Han You may not be able to lead the trend of the court, but he can become a trendsetter in the entertainment industry.
With the posting of a large number of flyers and unofficial rankings, people in Beijing gradually began to understand "football".
Entry rules, competition rules, points rules, etc.
In fact, Han You originally wanted to call this sport "Cuju". Later, he thought that in later generations, the International Sports Association also admitted that football originated in China. It was first called "Cuju" and was later spread to Europe by the Arabs. , eventually developed into modern football.
Since this is the case, it doesn’t matter what you call it. The word football is easier to write, so let’s call it football.
At this time, Han You had just inspected the newly built football field in the north of the city. The wealthy Ma family donated it for free.
Even without Han You convincing Ma Rulong, Ma Laoer himself understood the advantages of the "host".
Normally when I go to the Villa to play football, everyone is scolded when I get on the field. Majiazhuang residents have to spend money to go in and cheer. If it is held in Majiazhuang, at least their own residents can sit outside and cheer.
To be honest, the land in Majiazhuang is really suitable for playing football. It has green grass, a lot of wood, and is wide enough.
Han You was riding a horse on the official road, followed by a group of henchmen, and beside him was a horse like a dragon.
Ma Lao Er is riding on a tall horse, and his black bear-like body is very oppressive. I don’t know if it’s because he’s been eating and drinking at Four Seasons Villa every day recently, or if he’s relieved that his appetite has improved, and he seems to be a little stronger.
"You're quite interesting."
Ma Rulong joked: "Others would wish to live in the city every day and go to court every day. Not only do you not go to court and ignore it, but you also manage your football matches all day long. I don't know whether you are hiding your capabilities or biding your time." Really stay out of it.”
"How do you know that I don't care about what happens in the court?"
Han You knew what Ma Rulong meant.
It's the end of the year now, and before Yuan Day, the court will definitely have a new prime minister take office. Originally, it was a situation of choosing one of two, either Zhao Tai, the Minister of Personnel, or Qian Ji, the Minister of Rites. However, after the scientific examination, I don't know what happened. I started to feel proud.
Autumn is rainy and there are many refugees and disaster victims.
These things are all related to the Ministry of Works. This year, I don’t know whether it is really as reported by various sources, or whether the emperor intends to praise the Ministry of Works. In short, after the Ministry of Works received the money, it smoothly put the materials and related personnel first Time has been sent to various channels, and a lot of advance has been made.
In addition, many buildings in the palace needed to be repaired at the end of the year. This matter was also the responsibility of the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works did a great job without spending much money, and the emperor was very happy again.
Even if Zhou Zhenghuai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly made the emperor happy, Wu Dingbi, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments, also appeared.
The previous cases of concealing tax returns from various departments have been recovered one after another. This matter is the responsibility of the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Accounts will calculate the accounts and then recover them. If the amount is huge, the Ministry of Punishment will directly take people.
For the first time in such a long time since the beginning of the dynasty, the treasury had surplus food. The emperor was very happy again and praised Sun Shouting, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and Wu Dingbi, the minister of the Ministry of punishment.
Again, it is definitely impossible for Sun Shouting to be the prime minister because his position is too special.
The problem is that no one knows what the emperor means now. Let alone Sun Shouting, Wu Dingbi and Zhou Zhenghuai both seem to have tickets.
Qian Ji, the Minister of Rites, didn't do much. He was like a dead body every day when he went to court, but he couldn't help but the emperor always praised Wu Dingbi and Zhou Zhenghuai, which made Zhao Tai, the Minister of Personnel, unavoidably anxious.
In this anxiety, Zhao Tai became the most excited person in the court every day. The officials wrote letters all day long. Today they will be inspected by the capital, tomorrow they will be evaluated by officials, and the day after tomorrow they will impeach someone for being corrupt and bending the law. Every day, he is feeling his presence. .
As a result, the more Zhao Tai did this, the more hopeless he seemed.
There are two reasons. First, he failed to take the lead in the scientific examination, which disappointed many courtiers and aristocratic families.
Second, in order to make the emperor happy and ask him to be the prime minister, he inevitably sacrificed many teammates intentionally or unintentionally, including various officials and some aristocratic families. This also made many people wonder whether Zhao Tai would be able to succeed once he became the prime minister. Strike harder.
Therefore, it is still unclear who will win the battle, and no one knows what the emperor is thinking.
Han You stretched out a lot: "Do you know what the most meaningless thing in the world is?"
"The emperor's own army should not be on duty, but only watch people play football?"
"Of course not. I focus all day long on things that I have no control over and get upset about them."
Han You chuckled: "But whoever becomes the prime minister will not affect your Ma family. There are two nobles, one is the son of the county, and the other is the son of the county."
"Who cares?"
Ma Rulong was free and easy, looking in the direction of Beijing, with a look of indifference on his face, and the same in his heart.
"correct."
Ma Rulong looked at Han You and asked, "You haven't been to Beijing for many days. Why did you come to Beijing today? What's the matter?"
"Ask who your Majesty wants to be prime minister."
Ma Rulong was so angry: "You don't pay attention, don't you?"
"It's because I don't pay attention and I don't get involved. I just have nothing to do. I went into the palace to ask, what's wrong? By the way, do you want to know who it is? If you want to, come back and I will tell you. You sign a confidentiality agreement and then give it to me. How about ten thousand guan."
Ma Rulong didn't know whether to scold or sigh.
If it were anyone else, he could only secretly guess that Han You didn't need to think about this or that. He could just go to the palace and ask the emperor directly. It would be better if he really stopped by the city to ask when he had nothing to do.
"By the way, I want to ask you something."
"Hey, let's not talk about it." Han You shook his head directly: "If you can use the word beg, then it must not be a simple matter. Don't even mention it."
"Let me say it first."
"If you don't listen, whoever listens will have a grandson."
Ma Rulong: "I will give you a horse farm, and after the event is completed, I will give you three more."
Han You: "Grandpa, tell me."
Ma Rulong laughed loudly. Han You's face was not red at all. He was making money, so he was not shuddering. He was shuddering when he lost his face and money.
The smile faded and Ma Laoer said sternly: "I want to gain the title of Marquis."
"Hey grandson!" Han You's nose was so angry that he said, "Are you kidding your father?"
Han You was really angry. Wasn't he making fun of himself? He was like a bear like Ma Fenghou. He couldn't sit still even after roasting his kidneys. He even got the honors and asked this guy to sit down and study honestly. It's still the Four Books and Five Classics, which is nonsense.
Ma Fenghou studied in the Imperial College for a while. Every time he took the classics, that is, an exam, his best score was second to last. Since Han You stopped going, this guy has been ranked first from last. Let him take the exam to get a meritorious title. , this difficulty level is second only to winning the lottery.
"Wait!"
Han You suddenly looked cold: "You don't want me to secretly manipulate the scientific examination to cheat, do you?"
"how come."
Ma Rulong shook his head and said with a smile: "You have a huge responsibility and want to make the scientific examination fair and make it a fair thing for any scholar. This is what you want in your heart. Second, How could I ruin your great career just because of a small fame?"
Han You's eyes were incomprehensible.
He really didn't expect that among so many so-called celebrities and scholars in the capital, and so many ministers in the court, the one who really understood him was Ma Rulong.
"It is precisely because this scientific examination will be fair, I want Ma Fenghou to take the exam for meritorious service, which will also be beneficial to you. If even Ma Fenghou is admitted to the exam for meritorious service, what will the children of the poor family and the common people think? "
"Although what you say makes sense, it's a pity that I can't do it."
Han You shrugged: "I can't promise you no matter how many racecourses there are."
"Of all the people I know, you are the only one who can do things that ordinary people can't do."
"I said, I can't do it. I can't agree to it no matter how many racecourses you give me."
Ma Rulong's face was expressionless: "Five horse farms, after the completion of the matter, I will give you another 50,000 yuan."
Han You said expressionlessly: "Let my eldest nephew, the Marquis, report to Yu Yong at the north gate of the villa before midnight tomorrow."
