Chapter 108

On the day of the competition, Princess Taiping's mansion will naturally be among the audience.

As a boy, Zhang Changzong is naturally interested in the intense sports of polo. He has been practicing riding hard in the past two years, and it is no longer a problem to gallop, but he cannot achieve the skills of participating in polo events and is prohibited.

The team that can play in front of Queen Mother Wu and Li Dan has obviously no need to worry about its skills. It must be the best team in Chang'an City. Zhang Changzong wants to go and see it!

After begging Princess Taiping and Xue Shao, they readily agreed to take him to the polo game. However, because they brought him, Xue Chongyin and Xue Chongxiu and his brother and sister were going there too. Xue Chongjian was still young and could only stay at home with the wet nurse.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Zhang Changzong said to Xue Chongyin: "Take out the things quickly and take them out."

Princess Taiping and her daughter looked at Xue Chongyin curiously, and then met Zhang Changzong to study it. Listening to the two of them, it seemed to be the information of the two players and horses in the game.

Princess Taiping took it over and saw it curiously, and it was prepared very detailedly, from the number and breed of horses on the team, the age of the horses to the weight and age of the players.

Princess Taiping looked at the two of them in confusion and asked, "What are Dalang collects these things?"

Xue Chongyin was attentive when he heard Zhang Changzong's analysis. He was still confused for a while after being asked by his mother, and then said, "Ah, it was Liulang who asked me to collect these. My son took a lot of effort to ask the close servants to inquire from many sources to get it. Ah, Liulang's analysis makes sense. Please don't interrupt, Liulang quickly continue."

What Zhang Changzong does is just the most common behavior in modern times. Before each TV station broadcasts live, it will insert a piece of information from both parties to make predictions and analysis. What Zhang Changzong does now is also doing this kind of work.

Princess Taiping and her daughter listened to him analyzing the composition of members and horses on both sides. After a few simple analysis, they actually had a general understanding of both parties.

After entering the palace, they sat down at the side of the polo court and waited for Wu, Emperor Li Dan and others to take the seat before the game started. The children surrounded Zhang Changzong, listened to him talk about the ball and analyzed it.

The two sides of the game held today have ten players in each team. It can be considered a relatively large game. If it is a general small game, four players in each team are enough.

Wu took the first place, next to Li Dan, followed by Princess Taiping. Zhang Changzong was mixed in Princess Taiping and chattered and explained the game to Xue Chongyin and Xue Chongxiu. Xue Chongxiu did not like polo, but in any competitive game, he was easily infected by the atmosphere and listened with his ears.

Xue Chongyin also liked it, so he naturally listened attentively. From time to time, he would discuss with Zhang Changzong. When encountering a wonderful goal, the two would cheer together, which caused Wu and Li Dan to look at them several times.

After hearing a few words, Wu's clan heard Zhang Changzong's words very well, and said to Shangguan Wan'er behind him. Shangguan Wan'er said aloud and walked over, picking up Zhang Changzong: "The Empress Dowager asked you to go there."

Zhang Changzongzheng was happy with Xue Chongyin's discussion, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. To be honest, watching football should be better with his fellow friends. Although there is a risk of fighting, someone discussed it and watched it together. He was alone and cheered alone.

However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Zhang Changzong looked at Xue Chongyin with regret, and Xue Chongyin looked reluctant. The two looked at each other helplessly, and then ran to the Wu seat at the urging of Shangguan Wan'er.

"Liulang pays homage to the Queen Mother."

Wu glanced at him: "Wouldn't you be unhappy to let you come?"

Zhang Changzong said honestly: "Watching with A Yin can discuss it. If you don't discuss watching the football, you always feel that the atmosphere is not warm enough and there is no passion for watching it."

Wu said angrily: "What can Dalang understand? How could you know that I can't discuss it?"

"Does the Queen Mother like to watch polo?"

With a look of surprise when he met his fellow friends, he was not afraid of Wu. Li Dan looked at him in a faint way and secretly envied him. When his parents and children arrived in front of the empress dowager, they didn't dare to show off, for fear that they would not be respectful enough. They were not as good as that boy, but they dared to dislike the empress dowager and disturb his interest.

Wu seemed to be in a good mood and smiled and called him over: "I see you explaining it to Dalang very well. Come and talk to me and see if you are right!"

"Here!"

He jumped over happily, and sat at Wu's feet without thinking too much. Wu lifted him up: "When you sit so low, how can you have a clear vision! Sitting higher, seeing more clearly, and talking to me."

"Okay!"

Zhang Changzong was so happy that he agreed!

The best view of the seat is Wu's place. As a fan, he can only be happy to think about anything else when he watches football games in such a golden position.

Zhang Changzong sat over happily. Shangguan Wan'er looked at her stupid apprentice and felt so angry that she felt so angry that she quickly reminded: "Liu Lang, no!"

"ah?"

Before Zhang Changzong could react, he turned back to his master with confusion. The smile on Wu's face faded a little, and he glanced at Shangguan Wan'er. Shangguan Wan'er immediately lowered his head and retreated, and stopped talking. Wu then smiled and said, "Speak Liulang!"

"Here."

Zhang Changzong responded, and readily lifted up the hem of his robe and sat at Wu's feet, saying to himself: "Thank you, the Queen Mother, but, I'd better sit here."

Wu's face was stern: "Where will I let you sit?"

Zhang Changzong smiled and said, "The position where the boy was asked to sit is the favor of the queen mother. However, it is precisely because of your favor that the boy cannot be without rules. Otherwise, wouldn't he be sorry for the grace of the queen mother?"

"You boy!"

Wu patted his head, no longer forced him, let him sit at his feet, and began to explain happily-

Zhang Changzong was a person who was baptized by various styles of commentary in later generations. When he had wonderful movements, he would give a loud name according to the situation and play a round. He also knew to analyze the strategies of both sides from the movements on the scene. Occasionally, he combined the information collected before the game, commented and analyzed the personnel and horses of both sides. He actually explained the changes on the field very thoroughly.

When Wu heard that he knew even the personnel and horse information of both teams, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Where did Liulang know this information?"

Zhang Changzong immediately said: "A Yin ordered people to collect it. On the way he came just now, I studied it together, so naturally I am familiar with everything about the teams on both sides."
