Tianlu Pavilion's debate continues, but it is not every day, it is only held once every few days, this is mainly Tian Qianqiu and Sang Hongyang, they are also people who have a lot of opportunities, although the big and small things in the court are contracted by Huo Guang, but after all, they are all high-ranking officials, and they also have some affairs to deal with.

Whenever Tianlu Pavilion held a debate, Lan Zhongweng would take Liu Ai and Zhang Pengzu to listen together, of course, every time he went, Huan Kuan was recording, and the young man named Du Tuo was also sitting next to them as usual, so that Liu Ai and Du Tuo also knew each other.

The weather is getting warmer, and in an instant it is the Qingming season, and on this day, Liu Ai and Zhang Pengzu still came to Shiqu Pavilion early to listen to the lecture of Zhongweng. It's been raining these days, but today it's really clear, and the sun has shown its face after a long absence.

When he saw two teenagers coming in, he asked, "Do you know what festival it is?" ”

"Sir, today is the Qingming Festival on the third day of March."

Zhang Pengzu hurriedly said.

"Yes, today is the Qingming Festival, you only know that the Qingming Festival is a festival to sweep the tomb and worship the ancestors, but do you know that it has other meanings?"

The two teenagers shook their heads, and Weng Zhongwen smiled when he saw this: "It's also called the Qingqing Festival, at this time, the vitality is vigorous, the yin qi is declining, all things are spitting out the old and absorbing the new, and the earth presents the image of spring and Jingming, it is a good time to go out in the suburbs. ”

"Sir, where are we going?"

Liu Yi had already asked, but he asked Lan Zhongweng, only to see him think for a moment and then said: "Actually, you can also go out of the palace to the suburbs after Shiqu Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion, but if you really want to go out, you need to go out of the palace to the suburbs, you can go to Master Zhang and tell him that I asked you to go out; It's not good to stay in Shiqu Pavilion all day to listen to my lectures, when I was young, I often went out with my husband for outings, and Mr. lectured while swimming, which is called a study tour, but unfortunately I am now old and can't walk, otherwise I will take you out for an outing. ”

Hearing what Lan Zhongweng said, the two teenagers didn't know how happy they were, they were like birds in a cage during this time, they had no freedom at all, they had already been suffocated, and an old gentleman said this today, presumably Zhang He would not agree to it. So they said goodbye to Lan Zhongweng and flew like arrows to find Zhang He.

Seeing the two panting teenagers, Zhang He looked dazed and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing running so fast, why don't you go to Mr. Lan to listen to his lectures?" ”

Zhang Pengzu has always had a sense of fear of Zhang He, and he didn't dare to speak, but Liu was bold, so he said: "Uncle Zhang, I went to Shiqu Pavilion with Peng Zu to find the old gentleman early in the morning, and the old gentleman said that today is the Qingming Festival, saying that the Qingming Festival is not only a festival for sweeping tombs and worshipping ancestors, but also a festival for outings, and he wants us to go out of the palace to the suburbs." ”

"Go out of the palace and go to the suburbs..."

Zhang He was a little confused by the second monk, today is sunny, it is indeed a good day to go out, the question is how to go out of the palace to the suburbs, they have never gone out of the palace alone, and they have to go to the suburbs, how can this work, so he waved his hand and said: "No, no, I don't have time to accompany you, have you ever been out of the palace alone, and you have to go to the suburbs, how can this work." ”

"Uncle, why don't I leave the palace and go to the Zhicheng Gate with my illness?"

Zhang Pengzu said boldly, he didn't even dare to look at Zhang He when he spoke, Zhang He hurriedly said: "There are still more than ten miles from here to the Zhicheng Gate, it's far away, no, or you can play in the harem garden." ”

As he was talking, he happened to be heard by Peng Changqing, and saw that he was leading the horse and was about to leave the palace, and when he saw Zhang He and Liu Ai, they were already talking about going out of the palace to the suburbs, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, you can hand over the illness and Peng Zu to me, I will take them out of the palace, just to send something to Fuli Palace, let the two of them go with me, and I will send them back in the evening." ”

"That's very good, there's a Laupen guard."

When the two teenagers heard Peng Changqing say that they were going to take them to the Fuli Palace in Shanglin Yuan in the suburbs, the joy was really indescribable, Zhang He saw Liu Ai and Zhang He who were cheering, so he could only shrug his shoulders and said: "Then you go with Peng Guard, remember to listen to him, don't run around." ”

Peng Changqing hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, don't worry, I promise to hand them over to you in good condition." ”

After speaking, he picked up Liu Yi and got on his horse, while Zhang Pengzu rode the same horse with another guard, and the two horses left the palace from Beique and went to the straight city gate. Since the last time Liu Yi had helped Peng Changqing capture Song Chongguo and informed him of the secret passage to the outside of the palace, Peng Changqing had a very good impression of him, although he also knew that Liu Yi was already the grandson of Prince Wei, but he always felt that this son was extraordinary, and he would be a big man in the future.

Out of the straight city gate is Jianzhang Palace, Jianzhang Palace is also a part of Shanglin Garden, just west of Weiyang Palace, and then to the south is Fuli Palace, these palaces all belong to Shanglin Garden.

After Peng Changqing sent things to Fuli Palace, he wanted to rest at the post station outside Fuli Palace, so after arriving at the post station, he said to Liu Aiji and Zhang Pengzu: "This is the Fuli Palace of Shanglin Yuan, we will rest in the post station outside the palace for a while, you just walk around, the scenery here is very good, there are mountains and lakes, but you don't know the nature of the water, don't go to the lake to play, just walk in the back." ”

Peng Changqing took out two more short swords and handed them to Liu Aiji and Zhang Pengzu, and when the two teenagers saw the real short swords, they were even more excited and shouted with joy. Guard Peng hurriedly smiled: "Don't go too far, you will carry these two short swords with you, I am afraid that you can defend yourself in case of any accidents, remember not to go too far, I will look for you in a while." ”

As a royal garden, the main construction methods of Shanglin Garden are mountain-building, water management, plant planting, animal breeding, and building construction. There is artificial orogeny in Shanglin Garden, that is, stacked mountains, so there is "one pond and three mountains" in Shanglin Garden, there are Taiye Pond and Kunming Pond in the larger waters of Shanglin Garden, Shanglin Garden is also a royal zoo, many strange beasts and rare birds are scattered in the meantime, there are hundreds of beasts in the garden and are exiled everywhere, there are deer halls, tiger circles, elephant views, lackey views, horse views and so on in the garden.

There is a natural mountain in the upper forest garden. There are towering and magnificent Zhongnan Mountain in the south, such as Jiawutai, Cuihua Mountain, Nanwutai, Qinghua Mountain, Louguantai, etc., the mountain peaks are towering, the rocks are strange, the forest is dense and the bamboo is cultivated, the scenery is very spectacular. In the north, the southern slope of the Kugayama mountain range was reached, and the vegetation was also very dense at that time.

Planting plants and raising animals are also the main ways of garden construction in the Western Han Dynasty. As an imperial tourist site, Shanglin Garden has both lush natural vegetation and a large number of ornamental trees, flowers, aquatic plants and a small number of medicinal plants that have been transplanted and planted artificially. In order to ensure the survival of individual southern plants in the garden, it is also equipped with greenhouse cultivation facilities, and Fuli Palace is a botanical garden dedicated to transplanting southern subtropical plants.
