The benefits of the Long Zhan Tianxia team being named under the name of Duan Wang Zhao Ji are obvious.

First of all, it is hard power. Zhao Ji has many lands under his name. Choosing one of them is enough to build a football field. Yang Fan planned the stadium and the lawn needed was transplanted directly from several manors in the suburbs of Beijing. The fitness equipment designed for the players was made by the craftsmen with special craftsmen in the royal palace. It was very efficient and was ready in a short time.

The second is soft power. Zhao Ji is the prince of Duan and the prince of the dynasty. Therefore, Fengyun Club quickly promoted the Long Zhantianxia team from Class B to Class A, and could officially participate in various national football matches. Some of the players that Yang Fan had temporarily recruited from the streets and alleys were soon replaced by some famous people, which made the overall strength of the team soar.

Many football clubs learned that Yang Fan’s backstage was Prince Duan, and they were respectful and kind, but some football clubs did not buy it.

There are many high-ranking officials in the capital, and no one who sells candied haws can easily be offended. Maybe he is a relative of a certain high-ranking official.

The football club was originally a national campaign, very pure, but as the Cuju movement emerged throughout the Song Dynasty and even neighboring countries, the high-ranking officials and nobles gradually discovered that Cuju could make profits. They often came to the top with the victory and loss of Cuju. Major gambling banks also opened bets, attracting the people to bet and participate in gambling, which gradually changed the taste of Cuju competition and became the focus of the struggle between all forces.

By the Yuanfu period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were basically backstages behind the major ball clubs in the capital, from royal relatives to high-ranking officials and nobles, Cuju became a tool for them to compete with each other and bribe each other.

There are many people who don’t buy Zhao Ji’s account, because Emperor Zhezong of the dynasty has never appointed a crown prince and has no children, so his brothers have the opportunity to inherit the throne.

At present, King Mu Zhao Qi and King Chu Zhao Si are the princes who have the most chance to inherit the throne, but they are also very careful and are not relaxed with Zhao Ji. They are competitors, so they have never been friendly.

When they learned that the Long Zhan Tianxia team was under Zhao Ji's name, Zhao Qi and Zhao Si sent their teams to challenge them in the name of competition, taking the opportunity to humiliate Zhao Ji and make him lose money.

Yang Fan just organized the team and was not very proficient in the Cuju game in the Song Dynasty. The quality of the players in his hands was not high. So when Zhao Qi and Zhao Si came to challenge, the Long Zhantian team did not win a game and both lost miserably.

The princes' bets are naturally very high. Zhao Ji lost a lot of money, and even the two manors in the suburbs of Beijing lost to them respectively.

Zhao Ji was very unhappy, but Yang Fan's words made Zhao Ji feel relaxed.

It turned out that Yang Fan had already known himself and knew that his team must lose, so he would make mistakes. He explained to Zhao Ji that he should deliberately lose to the two princes, Zhao Qi and Zhao Si.

Just like playing mahjong with your leader, you will only please your leader if you lose money on purpose.

This is a way to show weakness. When Yang Fan mentioned it a little, Zhao Ji immediately understood. At present, the candidate for the crown prince should be based on the age of the age of the year. If it is based on the blood relationship, King Zhao of Chu seems to be the younger brother of Emperor Zhezong, and there is a great chance.

According to normal inference, the crown prince must have been selected between Zhao Quan and Zhao Si. Zhao Ji's position is already very embarrassing. If he performs too well, the first one will be eliminated.

Under Yang Fan's instructions, Zhao Ji deliberately mentioned the matter of the crown prince and said in front of Zhao Qi that Zhao Si was most likely to become the crown prince. In contrast, in front of Zhao Si, Zhao Qi was most likely to turn the eyes of the two of them away from Zhao Ji.

This tactic is very effective. Both Zhao Quan and Zhao Si have lowered their guardianship towards Zhao Ji, which has made Zhao Ji not valued and noticed the fact that he went to the palace to pay filial piety to the empress dowager.

The ministers in the court were also standing in line. No one thought that Zhao Ji could become the crown prince because Zhao Ji's life was really indecent and his identity was very awkward, so they either stood on Zhao Qi's side or Zhao Si's side. This also made Zhao Ji faded out of the court officials and no longer paid attention.

Zhao Ji was a little worried. He secretly summoned Yang Fan alone many times and asked him if he could become the emperor.

Yang Fan could understand Zhao Ji's mood. He always had a firm attitude, saying that Zhao Ji would definitely be made the crown prince. As long as he persisted in respecting and pleading with the current empress dowager, there would be no problem.

Zhao Ji was very conflicted. Except for Yang Fan, no one thought he would become emperor, so he was very grateful to Yang Fan. He said more than once that if he could become emperor, he would have to protect Yang Fan's lifelong glory and wealth. But he was also uneasy. None of the remarks in the court and the public supported King Duan as the crown prince. Whether he believed Yang Fan's words alone or the words of the whole world, Zhao Ji was very confused.

But in the end, Zhao Ji chose to believe Yang Fan's words, which came from his deep desire to be an emperor. He worked hard to please the queen mother as Yang Fan's instructions, looking forward to the arrival of the last moment.

Of course, Zhao Ji also thought in his mind that if Yang Fan was talking nonsense, he would chop Yang Fan's head as soon as possible.

On this day, Zhang Yang led a dozen fierce servants to the training ground of the Long Zhan Tianxia team and called on Yang Fan to come out.

Yang Fan saw Zhang Yang from afar and couldn't help but frown. It was so lingering that his enemies were narrow.

Yang Fan didn't want to see Zhang Yang, but the other party was too arrogant. He didn't even give him the face of King Duan Zhao Ji, threatening to smash the stadium if Yang Fan didn't come out.

"I think who is so arrogant? It turns out that Zhang Yang will lose every gambling. You no longer stay in Hangzhou. What are you doing when you run to the capital? Do you still want to bet with me? Are you not afraid that I will chop off one of your toes?"

If you hit someone without slapping the face, and if you expose someone without slapping the shortcomings, Yang Fan deliberately mocked Zhang Yang and exposed Zhang Yang's scars and pain in front of so many people, it can be seen that Yang Fan was angry with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang looked ugly and snorted coldly: "I have told you a long time ago! I will never meet two mountains in my life, but I will meet two people sooner or later! How about it? Now we meet, Yang Fan, you say yourself, how can you die?"

As soon as the two met, they were full of gunpowder and immediately shocked the people around them.

Yang Fan was not afraid, glanced at the other party and said, "It is different from the past. In Hangzhou, I, Yang Fan, is just a commoner. No one dares to care about you if you bully me, but now it is different. I am the priest of the Duan Prince's Mansion. Try touching me!"

Yang Fan didn't want to get entangled with Zhang Yang, thinking that he could get rid of Zhang Yang by moving out of Duan's Mansion, but he was wrong.

Zhang Yang suddenly laughed and said, "Yang Fan, I really admire you a little. If you haven't seen each other for a few months, you can actually get into the Duan Prince's Mansion and pretend to be a charlatan who cheats food and drink!"

Yang Fan said: "If you are afraid, get out of here!"

"Slow down! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Zhang Yang looked at Yang Fan and snorted coldly: "Since you are the priest of the Duan Prince's Mansion, I will not touch you for the time being! But don't be happy too early. The court is in turmoil now, and Prince Duan has no chance at all! In the future, whether King Mu or King Chu ascends the throne, my uncle will support the minister, and the position of prime minister cannot be shaken. At that time, Prince Duan will be lowered to a level and become an ordinary prince. Even if I kill you, he will not dare to fart!"

Yang Fan's eyes suddenly turned cold. He understood what Zhang Yang meant. Once other princes became emperors, Zhao Ji's title would be reduced to an ordinary prince due to his bloodline. Then Yang Fan, the priest, would be reduced to another level. At that time, Zhang Yang's identity would definitely increase, and no one would dare to deal with Yang Fan.

This bastard has always wanted to kill me!

Very good, let's see which one of us will kill whom first!

Yang Fan never thought of killing people. This was the first time he had a crush on killing. If Zhang Yang did not die, Yang Fan would definitely have no peace.

"I can chop your head with one toe. If you don't believe it, try it!"

"Let's see!"

Both of them were galeting fire. If their eyes could kill each other, it would be enough for the other to die ten thousand times.
Chapter completed!
