The West School Field prepared by Zhang Zhao for the Polo League was located approximately outside the Xinzheng Gate of Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty, where Qionglin Garden, one of the two imperial gardens of the Northern Song Dynasty, was located.

Opposite Qionglin Garden is the famous Jinming Pool.

The construction of Qionglin Garden in history began during the Zhao Da period and ended when Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was about to go to Five Kingdoms City to study abroad.

There is a rockery dozens of feet high in the southeast of the garden. There are pavilions on the mountain and brocade stone roads at the foot of the mountain. There are also ponds, archery halls and ejaculation grounds, which serve as royal entertainment facilities.

Most of the areas in the garden are planted with famous flowers from Lingnan and Jiangnan. Many of the rare stones from all over the world were procured by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty using the Flower and Stone Gang, which killed people without repaying their lives. Many of them are also placed in Qionglin Courtyard.

However, Zhang Zhao did not have such courage. Jinming Pond was still being excavated, and the excavated earth and rocks were piled up into a mountain of earth in Qionglin Courtyard for command purposes.

Because on weekdays, this is the cavalry training place for the Sixth Guards of the Pro-Army and the Seventh Town of the Forbidden Army.

When polo matches began, this became a dedicated venue for the matches.

The ceremony of accepting the concubine was still being prepared, so Zhang Zhao first invited envoys from Wu Yue, Southern Tang, Ma Chu, Nanping and Meng Shu, as well as local tycoons from Hebei to come to the West School Field to watch the polo match of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And this is not only open to envoys and distinguished officials from various countries. People from Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo and Luoyang Prefecture in the sacred capital can also come in to watch the event through certificates issued by Li and Fang.

This is a real joy for the people. At this time, the population of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo is only 189,000. Because the capital will be moved to Luoyang in the future, the population is actually still flowing to Luoyang.

This venue for watching polo at the West Campus can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people at a time, so whenever we are allowed to go to the West Campus to watch a game, it is often crowded.

At the same time, nine private polo teams from Kaifeng and Luoyang were invited. Together with the Sixth Guards of the Pro-Army, the Seventh Guards of the Forbidden Army, and the Second Guards of the Gyeonggi Province, a total of twenty-four teams were formed to compete in groups.

This is Zhang Shengren’s World Cup!

However, the opening match was a bit strange, because it was not a duel between the left and right Habayashi guards as everyone imagined, but a duel between two women's polo teams.

As a descendant, Zhang Zhao understands the importance of women's roles in the family and even the country better than anyone else of his era.

How can a mother who is not physically strong, courageous, and upright in her outlook on life raise offspring who are loyal, honest, and courageous?

Moreover, Zhang Zhao was even more afraid that China's culture would slip into the ethics and education that only served Neo-Confucianism as it had in history, and would lead to some horrifying things such as being stuck at the door and not taking a step forward, or having a three-inch golden lotus.

It's not that etiquette cannot exist, but it is very important. But nothing can be excessive or go from one extreme to another.

Therefore, under Zhang Zhao's instruction, two women's polo teams, spearheaded by Zhou Guoxun's noble family, were born.

The leader of the red team is Cao Yanying, the fourteenth sister of Queen Cao Yanxi and the half-sister of Ziting County Duke and Shendu construction envoy Cao Yanming.

This fourteenth mother Cao was very fierce. After her husband died, she raised her two children alone. She was brave and resolute, and won the respect of Queen Cao Yanxi.

Zhang Zhao's confidant general, the old man of Yuancong faction, the commander-in-chief of Yingyang Town, and Xinxiang Hou Luo Yu'er were also pursuing this fierce royal relative at this time.

The leader of the blue team is also a fierce character, and his appearance clearly bears the characteristics of Hu Ji.

But no one dared to say that he was Hu Ji, because their family was a family that had connections with the Central Plains five or six hundred years ago.

This woman is the third daughter of Li Shengtian of Anxi, the wife of Cao Yanlu, the envoy of Qiuci and the official uncle of the country.

Of course, her most important confidence actually comes from her special relationship with Zhang Zhao.

Because Emperor Shaoming Zhang actually had no brothers or sisters, and his only close relative was his uncle Li Shengtian.

But Li Shengtian was far away in Anxi, so Zhang Zhao placed his feelings on Li, so Li almost became Zhang Shengren's biological sister.

Even Zhang Qiwan, the eldest daughter of Zhang Shengren, who married Zhao Kuangzan, was only awarded the title of Princess Baoding, a princess with the title of county, but Li had already been awarded the title of Princess of Korea.

King of Han is the royal title that Zhang Zhao used before. The meaning of Princess Han is of course unusual. Zhang Zhao also gave her the name Zhen and called her Li Zhen'er.

The appearance of the two women's polo teams immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Of course! A group of tall, long-legged, hot-bodied women dressed in men's clothes are quite eye-catching even in later generations.

As soon as they took the field, cheers and cheers erupted around the West Campus.

Especially the people from Tokyo and the wealthy people from Hebei Province screamed loudest and worked hardest.

However, the most eye-catching person on the court was not Cao Yanying or South Korean princess Lee Jung Ah.

She is a little beauty who is tall and long-legged, has a heroic appearance, and looks a little immature, but has a mature figure.

Uh! It's definitely not correct to say "little beauty", because this girl's appearance can only be described as Zhou Zheng and heroic, but it is definitely not related to beauty.

In the past, with this kind of appearance, the people of Tokyo would not have bothered to cheer for her, and would have even gossiped in private.

A woman with such big breasts, such a tall body, and a heroic look on her face would definitely be called a weird woman.

But now, after being purified by Zhang Shengren's aesthetics, and coupled with the popularity of polo, Tokyo people, especially young men, actually feel that this kind of appearance is very tasteful.

So countless people began to ask, whose noble daughter is this?

Even Li Xiaofeng, who came from Shu Kingdom, had only lived for a few days before he was influenced by this aesthetic concept and began to inquire with the officials around him, Gao Baorong, the crown prince of Nanping.

"This is Madam Zhe, the granddaughter of Yunzhong Bo Zhe Gong Congyuan, the chief soldier of Yangwu Town, the governor of Fuzhou, the deputy ambassador of Shuofangdao, the daughter of the chief soldier of Lingwu Town and the governor of Lingzhou, Zhe Gong Deke, who has been betrothed to

The Sixth Son of the Righteous Saint Zuo Jinwu defended Yuhou Yang Jiye."

"Hey! What a blessing! The son trained by such a heroic lady must be such a hero!"

Li Xiaofeng's aesthetic sense was 'distorted' so quickly that for a moment he was a little envious, thinking how great it would be if he could have such a daughter-in-law.

Zhang Lieming's cheeks twitched. He didn't know whether the son he taught was a hero or not, but this little girl was really fierce.

She arrived in Tokyo from Fuzhou ten days ago, and Yang Jiye was still a little unhappy at that time.

Definitely, if he is used to the gentle women from Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, how could the future Mr. Yang like such a big girl from North China?

However, after he uttered a few words of complaint, Mrs. Zhe who came over heard her and immediately became angry. She knocked on the door and beat Yang Jiye violently.

Anyway, Zhang Lieming didn't know whether Yang Jiye had any intentions, but if it were him, he would definitely not be able to defeat this little tigress.

Li Xiaofeng looked a little strange at the man who suddenly shuddered, but he still politely raised his hands and asked, "I'm so rude, haven't you asked me what your name is?"

Zhang Lieming had a proud look on his face, but he deliberately pretended to be indifferent and waved his hands.

"Excuse me, my surname is Zhang!"

Li Xiaofeng immediately became intimate with him. When he appeared in the circle of ministers and officials, he was a little proud of his surname Zhang. Needless to say, he was most likely a royal relative of the Zhou Kingdom.

Sure enough, when Li Xiaofeng said politely, "Sheren's surname was Guo, so he must be rich and powerful," but the person on the other side was not reserved at all!

"Although Zhang's surname is a national surname, it is also a popular surname. Of course, a certain family has a good reincarnation. My father is a cousin of a saint, and someone calls the saint an uncle."

Li Xiaofeng then quickly lowered his stance and said, "I am an envoy from the Kingdom of Shu. I don't want to know a relative of the emperor. I am truly lucky!"

Zhang Lieming sneered in his heart, you are Mao's envoy and attaché, but he just came to fool Li Xiaofeng, so of course he would not point it out, and immediately shook his head carelessly.

"What kind of royal relatives are there? A certain family is just a loser. Making friends depends solely on your heart. Why do you mention these worldly identities?"

Li Xiaofeng immediately attached himself to it. When he came as an envoy, his most important task was to find out what Prince Shaoming was saying in advance.

Now a silly-looking royal relative appears in front of you, why don't you quickly establish a relationship?

"What a heroic man! He is a noble relative of the Central Plains and so approachable.

If you don't mind it, there are some Jiannan Shaochun here from Shu, and I dare to invite you to have a drink with me."

Zhang Lieming originally pretended not to disturb him, but when he heard Jiannan Shaochun's name, his throat couldn't help but his eyes lit up, showing off a good drinker with both physical and mental performance.

Uh! Maybe it’s not an act. Beauty, wine, and delicious food are my deputy commander Zhang’s favorites.

At this time, due to the brewing method, most of the wine was very turbid, and the alcohol content was very Schrödinger. It is possible that after drinking a full stomach, it would not reach the point of being smoky.

Jiannan Shaochun in Sichuan has been selected as a tribute wine in the court since the early Tang Dynasty. The poet Li Bai even pawned his fur coat in winter because he wanted to drink Jiannan Shaochun.

This wine has little turbidity, is clear and sweet, and has a fragrant aroma. What's even more rare is that the alcohol content is extremely stable, basically around 15 to 20 degrees. It is the best wine at this time.

The transportation between Meng Shu and the Central Plains was not smooth, and it was difficult to travel from Shu to the Central Plains. The price of a jar of Jiannan Shaochun in Tokyo was so high that even Zhang Zhao was reluctant to take it out to entertain people.

Now that Zhang Lieming heard about Jiannan Shaochun, he could not hold back. His mission was to get close to Li Xiaofeng anyway.

In fact, it is not that there is no wine with clear and high alcohol content. The distilled wine that Zhang Zhao worked on during his Anxi period was the distilled wine. However, because it consumed too much food, Zhang Zhao strictly prohibited the use of the distillation method.

Moreover, the alcohol content was too high, and it was not popular with people. Zhang Shengren’s concubine Cao Yuanxiang once commented, saying, ‘What kind of urine is this? It won’t give you a splitting headache!’

Li Shengtian also complained that after drinking this wine, it didn't have the heroic spirit of hundreds of poems about drinking wine. Two cups made people look ugly. It was really not a good wine.

That is to say, Dunzhu, Barbarian Bear likes to drink it.

.

.

Here, one of Zhang Lieming and Li Xiaofeng is pretending to be stupid, but in fact they have already prepared in their hearts. The other thinks that the other is stupid and wants to get some useful information from the other.

Of course it's the love of the husband and the concubine...Ah! No! Of course it's the love of the husband and the concubine, eh! It doesn't seem right either.

Anyway, the two of them immediately became best friends. While drinking a thousand gold worth of Jiannan Shaochun, they started commenting on the polo that had already started.

Competition and confrontation have always been the mainstream of human existence. Without using swords, nothing can trigger the joy of this part of the genes hidden in the human body better than sports.

At the beginning, whether it was the diplomatic missions from various countries, the local tycoons in Hebei, or the local people in Tokyo, all the focus was on women's breasts and faces.

Although no one would dare to speak obscenely, but where is the focus? Even a man understands.

But after the polo match started, everyone's attention was quickly transferred from the chest, butt, and face to the match.

Because the two polo teams formed under Zhang Zhao's instructions were of very high standard. Whether they were galloping, hitting the ball, or protecting the ball, they all showed a very high level of horsemanship.

Among them, Li Jingda of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Li Xiaofeng of the Meng Shu Dynasty, who had other intentions, were even more frightened to watch.

These are not men, let alone soldiers, but a group of women, women from the Zhou Guoxunchen's own family.
