Shanglinyuan is located in the west of Chang'an, spanning the five counties of Chang'an, Xianning, Zhouzhi, Huxian and Lantian. It stretches for three hundred miles and has Ba, Chan, Jing, Wei, Feng, Hao, Lao and Ju water flowing in and out of it.
, was first built in the Qin Dynasty, and was subsequently expanded on a large scale by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the second year of Jianyuan (BC). It was known as thirty-six gardens, twelve palaces, and thirty-five temples. It was later destroyed at the end of the Han Dynasty.
During the war, it was rebuilt in the Sui Dynasty and renamed Xiyuan. Its scale was far less than one-tenth of the original Shanglin Garden. During the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, it was expanded again and renamed Shanglin Garden. However, it could not regain the grandeur of Shanglin Garden in the Han Dynasty.
It is still one of the most famous royal gardens outside Chang'an City.
Although Shanglin Garden is a royal garden, not only members of the royal family can enter it. In fact, officials of the third rank or above of the capital can enter the garden for hunting or autumn walks only by request. Of course, ordinary people are not so lucky.
, but today's Lantern Festival, because the seventeenth princess Gao Yang requested an order to hold a poetry festival, there were some talented students and scholars in Chang'an who were invited, and young men and ladies from various houses also flocked there.
The rush to Shanglin Garden made the originally deserted Shanglin Garden suddenly become the most lively place in the capital.
Great defense between men and women? That thing was not easy to use in the Tang Dynasty. There was no such statement in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the equality between men and women during the Tang Dynasty was the most complete period in the entire dynasty, not to mention the time and space where Li Zhen originally came from.
Empress Wu Zetian appeared in the Tang Dynasty. As far as clothing is concerned, it was common for women to wear men's clothing in the Tang Dynasty. It was common to go out and go shopping. Occasionally, there were poetry gatherings and even handkerchief gatherings.
It's very normal. Of course, the "fashion" problem caused by this is probably the most common in all dynasties. However, people at the time didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The word "coquettish" was a compliment at this time.
Look, no, there are crowds of people next to the Kunming Pool in Shanglin Garden. Men and women in all kinds of costumes are spending time among them, reciting poems and composing poems. How lively it is.
Naturally, the princes in the capital were not willing to be left behind in this rare grand event. Not only were all the princes here, but also the dozen or so princesses in the capital were present. All of them were decorated with flowers and branches, and everyone was beaming with joy. They each led their own lives.
The small circle was chatting and laughing happily. The only person who was very busy was the seventeenth princess Gao Yang, who was the host of the poetry club. Now she had to greet the guests, and now she was busy ordering the maids, and the eunuchs arranged various furnishings.
After a while, he had to socialize with the young masters who came forward to please him. He was so confused that he didn't realize that Li Zhen, half of the owner of the poetry club, had not shown up yet. It was not until the old man had already arrived that Gao Yang was shocked.
When she realized that the protagonist was missing, she immediately became anxious. She hurriedly called all the maids who were close to her and ordered everyone to look around quickly. When she was panicking, she saw Li Zhen walking in with a few guards with a sullen face, and hurriedly hurried
He stepped forward and said, "Bago, why are you here? It's about to start. Come on, my father is about to announce the start." As soon as he finished speaking, regardless of Li Zhen's reaction, he grabbed Li Zhen's hand.
Then he squeezed into the crowd.
"Your Majesty, the time has come." Just when Gao Yang pulled Li Zhenggang out of the crowd and stood in his seat in the front row, the eunuch Gao Yao trotted all the way to the pavilion where he was sitting, surrounded by a group of concubines.
The concubines gathered around Li Shimin in the center and reported respectfully.
"Oh, let's start then. I'll just watch here. You can do whatever you want." Li Shimin was very interested. He waved his hand with a smile and gave a casual order, which was regarded as announcing the beginning of the poetry meeting.
It can be seen that Gao Yang put a lot of effort into organizing this poetry meeting - the pavilions and pavilions that slide along the edge of Kunming Pool are all decorated with flowers. Although there are no flowers, there are various silk flowers and colorful patterns. The atmosphere is rich. Pens, inks, paper and inkstones are arranged in various pavilions such as Tingtao Pavilion, Liuye Pavilion, Huajin Pavilion, etc. What's more, many quiet pavilions are also equipped with long tables and the Four Treasures of the Study. The Poetry Fair starts at Si Shi and ends at You Shi. The best poems have to be selected. The referee is Dr. Guozijian. The final judge is naturally Mr. Li. The winner will not only be qualified to meet the Saint, but also There is a lot of prize money to be won, which is quite tempting. What is interesting is that most of the people who come to the meeting bring their families and bring their own meals and other things. It is said to be a poetry meeting, but it is actually more like a picnic meeting. It's quite similar. If it weren't for the fact that this place was a royal garden and there weren't those small vendors selling goods, this lively scene would probably be like a market.
Li Zhen didn't even bother to care about other people's commotion. At this moment, he was in a mess and had no peace of mind. Without him, the news Liu Qi brought this morning was really shocking, and Li Zhen was shocked. Zhen thought about it but couldn't figure out why the boss wanted to massacre Nianzhuang. After discussing with the two counselors for a long time, there was still no result. If it weren't for the fact that the old man would also appear at the poetry meeting, Li I'm afraid Zhen is still staying at "Yanji Factory" now.
Seeing the old man ordering the poetry meeting to start, Li Zhen planned to sneak aside to sober up alone, but she didn't expect that the old man was sharp-eyed. Before Li Zhen could leave, the old man waved at her. There was no choice but to leave as soon as he saw her, so Li Zhenye had no choice but to leave. After walking a few steps, he stepped forward and saluted: "My son, I bow to my father."
"That's all." Mr. Li looked at Li Zhen with great interest for a while, then waved and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, you arrived so late, are you planning new poems? I have read your collection of poems. , well written. Well, I am looking forward to your new poems today. Good job. Don’t let me down."
Dizzy, still writing? Li Zhen saw that he could not escape this disaster, so he did not dare to say anything more. He just replied respectfully: "Yes, father, I will definitely work hard."
"Well, that's good." Li Shimin suddenly smiled strangely, called Li Zhen to him with a wave of his hand, and said in a low voice: "Zhen'er, all the ladies from Chang'an are here today, you are so happy Be careful, if you are interested, I will make the decision for you later."
What? What? What? Are you sure that the old man has also come to make us happy? I faint! Li Zhen gets a headache when she thinks of her marriage, but looking at the weird smile on the old man’s face, she feels He didn't dare to say "no", so he had no choice but to reply with a wry smile: "Yes, I obey."
"Okay, then go and get busy." Seeing that the old man had finished speaking, he no longer kept Li Zhen around, and waved his hand, signaling Li Zhen to leave.
When the old man asked him to leave, Li Zhen naturally didn't want to stay any longer. He greeted the concubines one by one, squeezed out of the crowd, and led Chen Liang and several other guards to stroll along the edge of Kunming Pool, regardless of the surroundings. People were passing through the crowd, with their heads lowered and thinking about their thoughts. The students and poets who tried to get close to Li Zhen were all blocked by Chen Liang and others. They just walked, walked, and arrived in Kunming. On the north side of the pool, due to its backing to the mountain, there were no pavilions or pavilions except for a few clusters of plum blossoms. There were few tourists, and Li Zhen was happy to be quiet. She sat boredly under a cluster of plum blossoms. I didn't want to, I just sat quietly.
As soon as Li Zhen sat down, it didn't matter. Chen Liang and others immediately formed a vigilant posture, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. If nothing else, a few "wooden stakes" stood up, and all the scenery was gone.
, Li Zhen was upset for a while, but she couldn't bear to blame her subordinates for their loyalty. He frowned and glanced at the guards on all sides, waved his hand and said: "Chen Liang, take all the brothers to Gao Yang to see if she has anything."
How can I help?"
"Your Highness, this..." Chen Liang was stunned for a moment and refused to leave. "I tell you to go, so you go. This is Shanglin Garden. There is no need to follow me. Just go. I just want to be alone."
Jing, when the poetry meeting is over, I will go find you." Li Zhen knew that Chen Liang was worried about his safety, but he really didn't want anyone to disturb his tranquility, so he waved his hand and said impatiently.
.
"Yes, I obey." Seeing that Li Zhen looked unhappy, Chen Liang did not dare to insist any more. He responded respectfully and led his men straight away from the place.
Nianzhuang? Damn it, what’s so surprising about such a remote and poor mountain village? The boss would actually go to war in such a big way. Not to mention the hidden forces, even the soldiers from the commanding office in the East Palace were sent there. What was going on?
?Is it possible that there are Turkic treasures buried in that small village? It’s impossible. The Turkic people who originally lived there were just poor people. They had trouble feeding and clothing themselves. How could there be any treasures? Well,
, does the boss plan to build a secret stronghold there? It is impossible. There is no village in front of the place, no store in the back, and it is a plain land with no military value at all. Even if you want to build a stronghold, it is impossible to find such a stronghold.
What the hell is going on? Although the boss is a bit stupid, he is not stupid enough to cause such a big murder in the capital. There must be something fishy here, but there is something fishy about it.
What could it be?
The more Li Zhen thought about it, the more confused she became. She couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the prince's gourd. She was already in a bad mood and became extremely depressed. She couldn't sit still anymore. She exerted force on her waist and just thought
Li Zhen stood up straight, but completely forgot that she was sitting under the flower tree at this time, but when she heard a "boom", Li Zhen's forehead came into close contact with the branch. When she felt the pain, she immediately said "Ouch"
"The ground screamed. Just when he understood what was going on, he heard a chuckle of "puff" not far behind him.
Damn it, who dares to make fun of me? When Li Zhen, who was already in a bad mood, heard someone laughing at herself, she immediately turned around in anger, and then? Then, Li Zhen's eyes immediately straightened up... dd
