There are naturally two teams in the polo game. Today's matchup comes from the Wei family and the Du family, and a Duling polo derby will be staged.

As two old families in Jingzhao, the Wei family and the Du family cooperated with each other, but for many years, they have competed each other, either openly or secretly. Or the dispute over chrysanthemums in the court, or temporary fame or prestige, or some trivial matters.

In the court, Du Ruhui first paid a visit to the Wei family to suppress the Wei family, but unfortunately Duke Lai died young; the Wei family relied on Concubine Wei's prominent chrysanthemums, which were also considered prosperous.

However, Du He of the Du family was fortunate to marry Princess Chengyang, and Du Chuke also served as the Minister of Works and the Chief Secretary of the Wei Prince's Mansion in the court, so now the Wei and Du families are evenly matched in the court.

Today, the two families invited the children of powerful Chang'an together, but in private, they refused to give in to each other, which seemed to be a fierce battle.

Interestingly, someone was betting on the opening verge. Xie Yi was curious about who was hosting the verge. This was not like an ordinary gambling shop in the city. It was not done by ordinary people on this occasion.

After a few inquiries, I realized that it was a young man from a noble family, including Princess Ankang's son-in-law Dugu Mou, just to seek temporary happiness.

In the end, the money won was rewarded to the participating players. However, since Xie Yi publicly auctioned the authentic works of Wang Xianzhi and donated them to the poor, the charity of the Tang Dynasty made great progress. I heard that today's bets/games, the money won was donated to farmers in the suburbs of the capital such as Wugong to purchase seeds for farming.

Hearing this statement, Xie Yi came to bet with the idea of ​​doing good deeds.

It was originally a very simple thing, but unfortunately Xie Yi came here accidentally, so things suddenly became a little troublesome.

Because just as Xie Yi, Li Anning and others were preparing to place a bet, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were surrounded by everyone, and seemed to be coming to place a bet.

The prince and the King of Wei came, so of course others had to make way out. Xie Yi and Li Anning, who were about to bet, had to stop.

"Your Highness, please make a bet and have fun!" Du He smiled and suggested in a low voice.

"Okay!" Li Chengqian agreed without thinking much. The Du family invested in, obviously selling Du He's face.

As soon as the prince made a note, everyone's eyes fell on the King of Wei. For a moment, Li Tai's expression was slightly less natural.

It is obvious that the Du family and I have a closer relationship with me. After all, Du Chuke is the chief minister of the Wei Prince's Mansion and his most confidant right-hand man. It's a bit like Du He and the prince are too close...

To put it carefully, Princess Chengyang is also his sister, but this brother-in-law disrespects her brother-in-law and never treats her equally. It's really a bit bad.

But what can it be done? Do you have to lean against him? Obviously there is no need for this.

Although Du He is Du Ruhui's son, he is not the eldest son, and he does not have real power. How can he be more useful than Du Chuke?

As long as there is such a senior official, Du Shi of Jingzhao is his supporter, so why should he stick to a small Du He? If he obeys him at that time, he will not blame him for the sake of Du Chuke and Princess Chengyang.

As for today, since the prince chose the Du family, which is "nameless but not real", why should I compete with him?

No, we have to fight, but it is not a competition for the Du family, but a competition for the victory or defeat of the competition, and a competition for the best or worse.

And this seems to be a very good opportunity. If the prince chose the Du family, it would be equivalent to losing face to the Wei family...

If you sell face to the Wei family now, will it be... Li Tai suddenly had various thoughts in his mind. Jingzhao Wei family is not weak, Wei Yuancheng is in a high position, and there are many disciples of the Wei family who hold important positions, not to mention that there is a Concubine Wei in the palace.

Concubine Wei probably couldn't become the queen, so her son would naturally not become the legitimate son. In addition, she was young, so the throne would definitely not be able to compete. In this case, if she turned to support herself, it would be more beneficial to the Wei family and her son. I believe she would be happy to see this deal at least.

Thinking of this, Li Tai smiled and said, "Brother, I heard that the Wei family bought a lot of good horses from the Western Regions this year. I believe it is extraordinary, so I chose them."

Sure enough, King Wei chose the Wei family to place a bet.

The people present saw it clearly and understood in their hearts that a small polo game was just for fun, but now it suddenly changed a little.

It turned into an open and secret battle between the prince and the King of Wei, and it became a situation where the top-notch confrontation and disgrace each other!

Seeing this, Li Chengqian's eyes moved slightly and said with a smile, "The important thing in polo competition is not only horses, but also closely related to the cavaliers. Gu thinks that Du He chose these cavaliers well, and he may be better!"

"What the emperor said is that each has its own merits. Let's wait and see how the outcome of the game will be!

Listen to the tone of the two princes, it seems to be laughing, but the smell of gunpowder is very strong! Thinking about the recent atmosphere in Chang'an City, a small polo game suddenly became the weather vane of the Tang Dynasty's crown rank.

Let’s not talk about the outcome of the game between Wei Du and the two families. The key is that there is no way to continue playing this bet. Betting next is no longer as simple as winning or losing for the team. Especially when the prince and the King of Wei are present, there is a meaning of supporting the prince, at least on the surface.

Such a politically meaningful move, the children of the aristocratic families present are all smart people. How can they make such mistakes? As for the previous bets, it doesn’t matter at all.

Therefore, everyone subconsciously avoided it and wanted to avoid it. Xie Yi, who was about to bet, also pulled Li Anning away. Obviously, this place was already a place of right and wrong and should not be kept for a long time.

However, it is not that easy to leave, especially when someone is staring at you.

When Xie Yi was about to turn around and leave, someone shouted: "Didn't Mr. Xie bet on betting? Why are you leaving?"

After saying this, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Xie Yi, including Prince Li Chengqian and King Li Tai of Wei.

The two of them looked at themselves with a bright look.

Li Chengqian still had no good expression, probably because of Kan Ling's incident; Li Tai was different, with a smile on his face, and a look of expectation in his eyes, which was vaguely a bit of force.

He has been trying to win over Xie Yi many times, and he is quite attentive, but Xie Yi has always been close and distant, and he does not express his opinion. Today seems to be a good opportunity.

In addition, Xie Yi has a rift with the prince, how can he choose? Li Tai felt as if he was sure to win, waiting for Xie Yi to make his only choice.

Xie Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He wanted to leave but he would definitely not be able to leave, especially after someone stuffed a small silver medal into his hand, everyone's eyes fell on him.
