913. Football is invented

The eldest grandson Wujian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he twisted Li Pojun's ears and said, "You are the prince, why do you think about some business things every day."

Li Pojun was busy begging for mercy, and chatted with his mother for a long time until late at night.

The next day, as soon as it was dark, Li Pojun got up and sent Li Zheng a sketch of the protective gear and a summary of the store.

Just as he was about to have breakfast, Fang Yiai and others came in with a bee chrysalis, and waved his hand unceremoniously: "Sister Qiu, come here for seven more." Li Pojun rolled his eyes, this group of guys came so early, and the feeling was that they were coming.

"Your Highness, breakfast here is delicious, this soy milk is simply delicious, much better than those fruit wines." Fang Yiai drank soy milk as water like a starving ghost, and Li Pojun gritted his teeth when he saw it, and he still remembered the stick yesterday, and his arm still hurts.

was eating, suddenly, the guard came to report, Jiang Xingben, the young eunuch Jiang Xingben, asked to see him, as soon as Li Pojun heard it, he probably knew that it should be a good football, and he was busy asking the chamberlain to invite Jiang Xingben here, but, Jiang Xingben? Li Pojun seemed a little familiar when he heard this name.

"Will be a prisoner? Your Highness, what are they doing? ”

"Your Highness, don't talk too much, eat yours."

Fang Er, Du Er, the two boys ate and drank, muttering.

Jiang Xingben followed the chamberlain to the inner hall, and actually saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and seven young people sitting and eating staggeringly, and he also knew a few of those young people, and immediately frowned, as if he had been humiliated, and thought: How can His Highness be so rude. But he still bowed to Li Pojun and said: "Jiang Xingben, the minister will be a young eunuch, and I have seen His Highness." After all, it was a simple courtroom to leave love, and Li Zhen and others arched their hands.

Li Pojun saw a man about thirty years old, with a square and majestic face and a straight body, and walked in with the chamberlain, and he also got up and smiled enthusiastically: "Young Eunuch Jiang is polite, has Young Eunuch Jiang had breakfast, why don't you come and eat some together?" ”

Jiang Xingben's face trembled when he heard this, His Royal Highness was too casual, but his heart was also hot, and he was busy worshipping: "Don't dare, don't dare, the minister has already eaten, Your Highness, please use it yourself."

At this time, Li Pojun finally remembered who this person was, his heart moved, and he stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xing to sit down at the table, "Young Eunuch Jiang doesn't have to be polite, these are all his own brothers, and there are no outsiders, come, sit here and eat some, this soy milk guarantees that you haven't eaten it."

Jiang Xingben was stunned and was pulled into a seat by Li Pojun, crying and laughing, and at the same time he was slightly moved in his heart, he was busy thanking him, but it was Fang Yiai and others who saw the ceremony, and he was a little puzzled, why did His Royal Highness treat this young eunuch so politely, could it be that this is also a talent?

They really didn't guess wrong, if it was an ordinary person, although Li Pojun would also be accustomed to being polite, but with the identity of the prince, he would not be so bold, but this Jiang Xingben is different.

In the late period of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was determined to conquer Goguryeo, many people of insight were to dissuade him, Jiang Xingben was one of them, but Li Shimin did not listen, resulting in the loss of money and money to return to the city, when he hit Gaimu City, Jiang Xingben moved forward bravely, but unfortunately lost and died, Li Shimin was grief-stricken, wrote poems to mourn, gave him the general of the left guard, posthumously awarded the title of Chengguo Gong, after that, his son Jiang Jian attacked the seal, the official to the Anbei capital protection, his grandson Jiang Xi attacked the seal, the official to the scattered cavalry permanent servant, can be described as several generations of princes and nobles.

Jiang Xingben was a high-ranking general who died during Li Shimin's expedition to Goguryeo, and history has not forgotten it, and Li Pojun, who is familiar with Tang history, has not forgotten it.

Jiang Xingben sat at the table, his body was straight, and he thanked him: "Your Highness is gracious, and the ministers dare not be." After that, at the invitation of Li Pojun, he drank a cup of soy milk, and also praised: "This soybean milk is really a jade liquid, thank you for your kindness." After speaking, he took a breath and said: "Your Highness has made the things that will be ordered by the supervisor a few days ago, and Lord Dou specially ordered the ministers to send them."

Li Pojun was also happy when he heard it, and said bluntly: "Great, I'm tired, I'll take a look at it."

Jiang Xingben said hello, and two guards outside the door came in with a box and put it in front of Li Pojun, Li Pojun stepped forward to open the box and took a look, only to see that there were ten balls the size of a human head in the box.

Fang Yiai also wiped his mouth and squeezed forward, "Your Highness, this is what you are talking about football?" It's bigger than polo."

"Is this the football that is used to kick?" Li Zhen also asked curiously.

Li Pojun nodded, "This is football, I'll take a look first." Saying that, I picked up a ball, turned it over and looked at it, well, it felt very good, I pressed it, I actually pressed it, and it was actually inflatable, and the outer skin was not known to be sewn with what kind of leather it was, and it was very close and strong, and it didn't miss a little needle and thread, and there was nothing to say about this workmanship.

Jiang Xingben also looked at the ball with curiosity and said, "Your Highness, the inside of this ball is made of cow bladders, and it is full of gas. The outer skin is sewn from cowhide, which we have tested and can withstand the weight and impact of 100 catties."

Li Pojun checked the ball, felt that the weight was very moderate, the kick was just right, he was very satisfied, and he was worthy of being a place for skilled craftsmen, and immediately praised Jiang Xingben: "This ball is very good, it suits my liking, and it will be a good supervisor, and Jiang Shaojian has worked hard."

Jiang Xingben listened to the busy hand and said: "This minister's affairs are within his own hands, and he doesn't dare to say anything." After that, looking at Li Pojun weighing the football with a happy face, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, Li Pojun handed the ball to Li Zhen and them, "Look at it, this is football, used for juju."

Saying that he would let a few of them go to study, he turned around and invited Jiang Xingben into his seat, stretched out his hand and said, "Young Eunuch Jiang has something to say?" But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Jiang Xingben nodded when he heard this, and said with a straight seat: "Forgive the minister, although the minister doesn't know what the use of this ball is, it is undoubtedly a plaything, His Royal Highness is the prince, the foundation of the country, and it must not... Do not ......". Jiang Xingben was also a little hesitant when he said that.

"Plaything, huh?" Li Pojun laughed and said, Jiang Xing was busy but didn't dare to commit a crime.

Li Pojun looked at Jiang Xingben and nodded, and said appreciatively: "Young Eunuch Jiang dares to give direct advice, which is very good, this is the luck of the Tang Dynasty, but since he is directly admonished, there is no need to look forward and backward, to put it bluntly, I and the saint are not tyrants who don't listen to direct advice." There are many loyal ministers in the Tang Dynasty, this is true, Jiang Xingben was able to admonish Taizong to conquer Goguryeo in history, and then died heroically, and now it is not surprising that he can directly admonish.

Jiang Xingben didn't dare to listen to it, Li Pojun looked at the football again and said: "Don't worry, Young Eunuch Jiang, this is a ball of juju, called football, the role is similar to polo, and the plaything should not be talked about." After that, he raised his eyebrows and said, "How about Young Eunuch Jiang go together to see my new football?" ”

Jiang Xing was originally very curious, but he was worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would lose his mind, so he didn't refuse.
