Chapter 15: Qujiang Pond (Part 3)
In the Daming Palace, Gao Lishi waited for Li Longji to change his clothes.
Li Longji is not wearing a dragon robe and crown, but an ordinary robe, wearing a hood on his head and boots, handsome and unusual, adding a little unearthly atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to leave the palace?" Colliers asked cautiously.
"Today is the opening of the Hibiscus Garden, the government and the people are happy, and I will also go to join in the fun." Li Longji had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of memories, and he said: "I think back then, we often secretly went out of the palace and played around, how happy it was. And now, as I get older, I miss those old days more and more. ”
Li Longji is not a peaceful person, when he was young, he liked to travel privately in micro-services, and whenever he was free, he would take people out of the palace secretly and play around.
"Don't let the concubine know, and don't alarm the officials, just a few of us are enough." Li Longji admonished.

Qujiang Pond is located in the southeast of Chang'an, south of Nanshan, north of Leyou Garden, southeast of Shao Cemetery.
The Qin Dynasty built Yichun Garden here, the Han Dynasty built the Spring Garden and the Leyou Garden, Emperor Wen of Sui built Daxing City, built the Hibiscus Pond here, and its garden was called the Furong Garden. After Li Longji ascended the throne, he restored the old name of Qujiangchi.
The Qujiang River flows through here, the water flow is tortuous, "the shape is like the river of Guangling", so it is called "Qujiang".
Qujiang Pond is a famous place in the Tang Dynasty, and it is as famous as Longshou Plateau and Weishui Coast.
On both sides of the Qujiang River, the palaces are connected, the pavilions are undulating, the weeping willows are like clouds, the flowers and colors are the shadows, the scenery is beautiful, it is a good place to visit.
After Li Longji ascended the throne, a grand banquet was held here every year on the Shangsi Festival (March 3) and the Zhongyuan Festival (the seventh day of the seventh month of July), attracting tens of thousands of people to come and watch, and it became a grand event for a while.
Because of the victory of the battle of Xiaobolu, Li Longji ordered the opening of the Furong Garden, allowing the people to enter the Furong Garden for tours, the news had already spread throughout Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an rushed early, and saw the crowd of people from afar, crowded with people, everyone with a smile on their faces, and a happy face.
Noble ladies, chariot and horse attendants, sheng song painting boats, bottle pot wine syrup...... What a lively scene!
Qujiang Pond is full of lotus, calamus, competing for beauty, a good scenery at the end!
"That's a lot of people!"
Gao Miaoli's pretty eyes were full of shock.
She grew up in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate since she was a child, and she has never seen so many scenes, so she can't be surprised.
"It's a lot!" Although Li Changguo saw more of the bustle of the modern metropolis, he was also surprised.
Being able to see so many people in the Tang Dynasty is definitely an outlier.
"Hey!"
Li Bai sighed, it was because he didn't find Du Fu. Although Li Changguo and the others worked hard, they couldn't find Du Fu, so they could only give up for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it later.
If you find Du Fu and travel to Qujiang Pond with the poet and the poet, how exciting it is, Li Changguo is also sorry, the matter has come to this point, and he sighs in vain.
"I hope to meet the poet!"
Li Changguo's heart is full of hope.
Although there are many people, under the maintenance of the forbidden army guarding the garden, it is orderly, and the visitors enter the Hibiscus Garden in order, without the slightest chaos.
As soon as he entered the Hibiscus Garden, Li Changguo was amazed, only to see that there were countless pavilions and pavilions in the garden.
Ziyun Tower, Caixia Pavilion, Linshui Pavilion, Water Palace, Mountain Tower, Penglai Mountain, and Liangtang are built next to each other, each is good at winning and excelling, which makes people admire.
"There are thousands of atmospheres in Datang everywhere!"
These buildings exude an atmosphere, and only Datang can show this kind of myriad atmosphere.
Entering the garden, the dignitaries, the literati, the common people, the soldiers, there are countless people, in addition to the tour, there are many discussions, the most said is the victory of the battle of Xiao Bolu.
"Xiao Bolu has finally been defeated, and since then, Tubo can no longer enter the Western Regions, and the Western Regions no longer have any worries."
"If the Western Regions have no worries, they can concentrate their forces to compete with the Great Food. The big-nosed cannibal is arrogant and whimsical, and he dares to think of hitting Datang, and Datang must not spare Da Shi. ”
"During the Kaiyuan period, Da Shi sent troops to the Anxi Protectorate, but was beaten by the Tang Dynasty and defeated miserably. Now, it's time for Datang to settle old accounts with Dashi. ”
The Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and in addition to the country's strength, there were also people who cared about national affairs.
The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire was the most important foreign relationship of the Tang Dynasty during the Tianbao period, during this period, the Arab Empire was the main enemy of the Tang Dynasty.
Advocating an immediate military campaign to contend with the Arab Empire was the main topic of discussion for these tourists. Of course, there are also sober people who are soberly aware that the time is not ripe for a confrontation with the Arab Empire.
"Although Xiao Bolu has been defeated, the Anxi Protectorate has no worries from now on, and can concentrate his forces to compete with the Great Food. However, this is not the best opportunity. ”
"And when do you think the best opportunity is?"
"After the capture of Stone Castle, of course. The stone castle city fell into the hands of Tubo, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Tubo possessed this city, advancing and retreating freely. If the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food were fighting in the Western Regions, Tubo would send troops to threaten the land of Hehuang, which would inevitably be a shock in the Western Regions, which would be extremely unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Stone Castle City? That's right! It's time to lay down Stone Castle City first. Only by laying down the stone castle city can the poor Tubo be sealed in the high mountains and dense forests, and the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as truly worry-free, and can it concentrate its forces and fight a big war with Dashi in the Western Regions. ”
"I heard that fifty years ago, there was a madman named Yu Sufu in Dashi, who was the governor of the East who didn't understand Dashi, and he wanted to hit Datang. Hmph, they want to hit Datang, can't we Datang hit Dashi? If the stone castle city is solved first, Datang will be able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, go west with all his might, and fight with Dashi! ”
"Stone Castle City is not easy to fight, Datang once fought it, but it was not defeated."
"It's not good to fight, but it's going to be fought!"
Listening to the comments of the tourists, Li Changguo shook his head slightly, although what they said was reasonable, it was not true, and there were some problems that they did not think of.
After a while, Li Changguo was very satisfied, seeing that it was noon, his stomach was protesting, Li Changguo said: "Let's go to the temple of the five organs first, and then visit, how about it?" ”
"The wine by the Qujiang Pond is good!" Li Baicai is famous all over the world, his poems are all over the world, and the name of wine is also all over the world.
"Wherever the wine is good, we will go." Li Bai has been in Chang'an for several years, and he has been in and out of wine shops a lot, no one knows better than him which wine is good and which food is good, and Li Changguo handed over the guide to Li Bai.
"Come with me!" Li Bai's expression was greatly lifted, his voice was slightly higher, and he said, "The wine and food on that painting boat are good. We can take a boat on the Qujiang River, drink alcohol and enjoy the scenery at the same time. ”
The scenery of the Qujiang River is very beautiful, if you are boating on the Qujiang River, drinking and enjoying the scenery, accompanied by Li Bai, a poet and immortal, and accompanied by Gao Miaoli, Li Changguo secretly said that the joy of life is nothing more than this, and there is no reason to refuse.
Gao Miaoli naturally had no objections, but was very excited.
The three of them came to the front of the painting boat, the shopkeeper of the painting boat was soliciting guests, and suddenly looked back, a pair of eyes were round, staring at Li Bai, as if they had seen a ghost, and they were directly stunned.
