The tug-of-war in this year is not quite the same as in later generations.

"Tug-of-war, the ancient name of the hook...... In ancient times, the people used the marijuana to grow forty or fifty zhang, and the two ends were divided into hundreds of small ropes, hung on the chest, divided into two friends, and held in both directions, when the big neutral banner was the boundary, the drum was loud and noisy, and the phase was pulled, and the one who won was the one who lost, and the name was tug-of-war.

In other words, in the tug-of-war of later generations, people on both sides stood opposite each other and pulled hard in the direction behind them.

The tug-of-war during the Tang Dynasty was that the two sides stood with their backs to each other, and the head of the big rope was divided into hundreds of small ropes, which hung on the chest of the person who was tug-of-war. Everyone put the rope on their shoulders and pulled it forward with all their might.

On the surface, it seems that the tug-of-war during the Tang Dynasty is easier to exert the strength of the whole body, but it is not. When everyone pulls back, it is easy to adjust the direction of force to form a force in the same direction. And when pulling forward, people exert force from all directions, canceling each other, and the resultant force formed is not large.

Of course, the tug-of-war during the Tang Dynasty had a special advantage, which was incomparable to later generations: many small ropes were divided, which could accommodate many more people at the same time, making it possible for more than 1,000 people to tug-of-war.

Immediately, the two sides were divided into two teams.

The ministers were in a team, and Tang Xiu was the leader. In terms of qualifications, he is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty; In terms of age, he is the oldest; In terms of ability, he is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. In every sense of the word, it's a good fit.

The leader of the palace maid team is Cui Geng, Tang Xiu has just betrayed Cui Geng, and the two sides are really a little bit of an enemy when they see each other.

Tang Xiu said: "Cui Xiang, you shouldn't take this errand." There is an old man on the minister's side, and you can't win. ”

"Hmph, that's not necessarily." Cui Geng shook his spirit and said: "Tang Xiang, you are old, today's tug-of-war battle, I am afraid that your reputation will be ruined." ”

"Hmph, the dead duck has a hard mouth, let's see."

Both sides form their own teams.

The key to the tug-of-war competition is nothing more than two points, one is to coordinate everyone to form a joint force. The other one is shoes.

On the issue of shoes, Cui Geng can take advantage of it, and the ministers all wear court boots with smoother soles.

The palace ladies have to work, and the shoes are more practical. Even if there are shoes that don't fit, Cui Geng can also ask them to change their shoes immediately.

Of course, the weight of the ministers is far greater than that of the palace maids, and the two are equivalent to canceling each other.

In addition, although men have a great physical advantage over women, many of the ministers are older and lack strength. The palace ladies are all in their prime, and in terms of strength, which side is better, it's really hard to say.

Therefore, in the end, it is actually the coordination and command ability of Cui Geng and Tang Xiu, as well as the military quality of the ministers and palace maids.

Cui Geng thought for a while, and said loudly to the palace maids: "As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and this official thinks that under heavy rewards, there are also brave women!" I announced that if this tug-of-war competition is won, each person will get a bottle of Nine Heavenly Fairy Dew, a piece of soap, a set of rouge gouache, and a set of exquisite palace costumes. ”

The so-called beauty square is the business name opened by Li Baoer in Dingkun Pond. This business specializes in the high-quality route, and all the goods are dozens or even hundreds of times the normal price, which is exclusively for the wives and daughters of high~official and noble relatives, which is even more awesome than the LV of later generations.

"Thank you Choi Sang!"

Cui Geng's promise scratched the itch of the palace maids, and suddenly there was thunder and high morale.

Cui Geng saw that the military heart was available, and continued: "Have you ever practiced the tug-of-war? ”

Someone replied: "Cui Xiang, don't worry, I have practiced tug-of-war in the palace to entertain Your Majesty and the Queen, and I will never disgrace you this time." ”

"Very good, later, everyone listens to the official's horn and works hard, I shout one or two, everyone will accumulate strength, I shout "go", and everyone will pull forward hard. Pay attention to the fit and don't use it in the wrong direction. ”

"Yes, follow Cui Xiang's orders."

There is only so much to grind the gun in battle.

Later, the palace maids and the ministers were in place, and Li Xian gave an order, and the tug-of-war officially began!

"One...... Two...... Walk! One...... Two...... Walk! Cui Geng paid attention to controlling the rhythm, first shouting slowly, and then gradually increasing the frequency.

Tang Xiu is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, who killed the Tubo people and knew the tug-of-war in the army very well, and at this time he was also familiar with it: "Chong...... Rush...... Kill! Rush...... Rush...... Kill! ”

Although the slogan is different, the principle is the same.

In Empress Wei's thoughts, the ministers' team are all men, and with Tang Xiu commanding, there is simply no reason to lose. Cui Geng will definitely lose this time, which will make people laugh.

However, the result of the incident was greatly beyond her expectations.

At the beginning, the two sides still had two back and forth. But after a while, it was the palace maids' side that had the upper hand.

Seeing that this group of ministers was being dragged to the brink of defeat, Empress Wei couldn't believe her eyes.

She muttered, "This ...... How is this possible? Could it be that Cui Erlang really made what immortal law not work? ”

In fact, what kind of immortal method is it, this result is basically doomed before the start of the game.

First of all, the palace maids on Cui Geng's side are united and have a strong desire to win. But what about the ministers' side? If it weren't for Tang Xiu's shameless initiative, it would have been said whether everyone would agree to participate in the tug-of-war together. Therefore, most of the ministers have little desire to win.

Secondly, in order to restore his appearance, Tang Xiu defected to Empress Wei and stabbed Cui Geng in the back, which was too inauthentic. Everyone has a pole in their hearts, and many people are happy to work and not make efforts, and dismantle Tang Xiu.

In the end, after Cui Geng's encouragement and changing shoes, the difference in strength between the two sides may exist, but it is far from as big as it seems.

Therefore, if the effort is not large, it becomes a one-sided effect.

"Oops!"

Finally, in the sound of Cui Geng's slogan, the palace maid team worked together to pull the red dot that marked the victory over the banner in the middle.

Tang Xiu was unwilling, resisted desperately, and was dragged to the ground, falling to the ground on all fours, without the demeanor of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Do you think this is when he is most humiliated? Far from it.

Immediately, someone chuckled and said, "Cui Xiang is right, Tang Xiang is really old and useless." ”

"Brother Zhang is very right, if it weren't for that, how could we lose?"

"That's right, the key is that Tang Xiang's command is not good, hey, what a famous Tang general, it's really difficult to deserve under the fame."

"I can't say that, maybe it's Cui Xiang's command ability, which is a head higher than Tang Xiang."

……

People talked about it, intentionally or unintentionally, and put the basin of this failure on Tang Xiu's head.

Without it, a group of big men lost to a group of little women, how could this responsibility be borne by themselves? It must be Tang Xiu's fault, and it can only be his fault.

"You...... You ......"

Tang Xiu was so straightforward that he vomited blood on the spot. However, that's it, his old man is still reluctant to resign.

In the end, just silently returned to the team.

Cui Geng was in high spirits, and said to Empress Wei: "Wei Chen is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

"If you win, you win, what's the big deal." Empress Wei pretended to be careless and said: "This palace promises you to postpone Qing'er's marriage by one day, that is." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Cui Geng knelt down and thanked him, overjoyed.

Seeing this, He Lou Aoqing was finally a little shaken, and she secretly wondered: Why is the enemy so happy? Could it be ...... What he just said was true?

No, no way, Qian'er will not betray me.

Yes, he must have deliberately acted for others to show that he is not a merciless person, I must not be fooled! But...... This guy is really acting like this, if it is, how good it would be.

The beauty is sad here, but Empress Wei can't wait to expose this article immediately.

Next, there was no longer a tug-of-war, people drank and sat for fun, sang and danced, and recruited hundreds of opera artists into the palace.

Seeing the red sun falling in the west, the jade rabbit rose in the east.

Li Xian led the ministers to the Xuanwu Gate Tower to watch the lanterns, at this time, he couldn't take all the ministers with him, and the place couldn't bloom.

In the end, there were only dozens of close ministers and even a dozen eunuchs and palace maids accompanying him. In addition, Li Xian also allowed the palace maids to go out of the palace tonight and watch the lanterns at will, as in the historical records.

It's a pity that He Lou Aoqing was taken by Empress Wei's side, and it was impossible for him to sneak away. In addition, Jin Xiaoji also joined everyone's ranks and was sent by Li Xian to Cui Wu's side.

Jin Xiaoji is too beautiful and thrilling, if the jealous gaze can kill, presumably Cui Wu has died thousands of times.

Although this guy doesn't like women, at this moment, he is really quite complacent, and his mouth is almost grinning on the back of his head.

The effort is not big, and everyone has already arrived at the Xuanwu Gate.

The breeze is breezy, the tourists below are weaving, all kinds of lanterns compete for beauty, and there are bursts of beautiful singing in the night sky, which is really refreshing.

Suddenly, there was a burst of singing

"The Han Emperor is heavy on the country, and Yuyu has been unable to ask for it for many years. The Li family has a girl who has just grown up and is raised in the deep boudoir...... On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Hall of Eternal Life, when no one whispered in the middle of the night. In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch. The days are long and sometimes endless, and this hatred lasts forever. ”

It was Cui Geng's "Song of Long Hatred" made in Jinyulou that day.

After Li Xian finished listening, he stood up and said excitedly: "Who is singing this song?" Bring me upstairs! ”
