Although Shanglin Garden is a royal garden, but not only the royal family can enter, in fact, the official eunuchs above the three grades of the Beijing Division can enter the garden to hunt or step on the autumn as long as they ask for a decree, of course, ordinary people are not such blessings, but today the Lantern Festival because of the seventeenth princess Gao Yang's request to hold a poetry meeting, some talented students and scholars in Chang'an have been invited, and the sons and daughters of various families and provinces have also flocked to Shanglin Garden. It also made the originally deserted Shanglin Garden suddenly become the most lively place in Beijing.

Men's and women's defense? In fact, the equality of men and women during the Tang Dynasty was the most thorough period of the entire imperial era, not to mention that Li Zhen originally came from a generation of empress Wu Zetian in the time and space, in terms of clothing, women in men's clothes abound in the Tang Dynasty, going out, shopping and the like are common things, occasionally engaging in some poetry meetings, and even handkerchiefs are also normal, of course, the "weathering" problem caused by this is probably the most in all dynasties, but, People don't think there is anything bad about this, the word "coquettish" is a compliment at this time, this is not, the Kunming Pond in Shanglin Garden is crowded, all kinds of men and women in full costume spend in the meantime, chant poems and endow, how lively it is.

This kind of rare grand event in Beijing is naturally unwilling to be left behind, not only the princes are all here, but also more than a dozen princesses in Beijing are also present, all of them are showing, everyone is beaming, each leading a small circle to talk and laugh, the only one who is busy coming and going, busy is the seventeenth princess Gao Yang, who is the master of the poetry club, for a while to greet guests, for a while to be busy directing the palace maids, eunuchs to arrange various furnishings, and for a while to have to socialize with the sons and brothers who came to please one or two, Dizzy, he didn't even find that Li Zhen, the half master of the poetry club, had not shown up until the old man had already arrived, Gao Yang was shocked to realize that the protagonist was gone, and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly called the personal palace maids to his side, and ordered everyone to hurry around to find it, and in a panic, he saw Li Zhen walking in with a calm face and leading a few guards, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Starling, why did you come, you have to start, hurry, the father is about to announce the start." As soon as the words fell, no matter what Li Zhen's reaction was, he grabbed Li Zhen's hand and squeezed into the crowd.

"Your Majesty, the hour has come." Just when Gao Yang pulled Li Zhengang out of the crowd and stood in the front row of his own position, Gao Yao, the inner chamberlain, trotted all the way to Li Shimin, who was sitting on the pavilion and surrounded by a group of concubines in the center, and reported respectfully.

"Oh, let's start then, I'll just watch here, and you'll be free to do it." Li Shimin was very interested, waved his hand with a smile, and casually ordered, which could be regarded as announcing the beginning of the poetry meeting.

It can be seen that in order to organize this poetry meeting, Gao Yang has made no less effort - the pavilions and pavilions that slipped past along the edge of the Kunming pool are arranged with flowers, although there are no flowers, but all kinds of silk flowers, colorful banners also make the atmosphere rich, listen to Taoxuan, Willow Leaf Pavilion, Flower Jinlou and other pavilions are arranged with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and even more, many quiet small pavilions are also placed on long tables, put on the four treasures of the study. Poetry will play when the card starts, to the end of the card, but also to select the best poems, the referee by a sub-country Zijian Dr. filled, the final referee is naturally the old man Li, the winner can not only have the qualifications of the face saint, but also a lot of lottery money to take, but quite tempting, interesting is that most of the people who come to the meeting are with their families, but also bring their own meals or something, said that it is a poetry meeting, in fact, it is quite similar to the picnic, if it is not because this place is a royal garden, there are no small vendors who sell goods, This lively scene is about to become a market.

Others are making a fuss or not, Li Zhen doesn't have the heart to care at all, at this time he is in a mess in his heart, without him, the news brought by Liu Qi early this morning is really too shocking, so that Li Zhen didn't understand why the boss wanted to slaughter the village, and discussed with the two strategists for a long time, but there was still no result, if it weren't for the fact that the old man was going to show up at the poetry meeting, Li Zhen was only afraid that he was still staying in the "Yanji Factory" now.

Seeing that the old man ordered the poetry meeting to begin, Li Zhen planned to sneak aside to sober up alone, but he didn't expect the old man's eyes to be sharp, and before Li Zhen could slip away, the old man beckoned. ”

"That's it." Old Man Li looked at Li Zhen with interest for a while, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, you arrived so late, could it be that a new poem is brewing?" I read the collection of Erzhi's poems, and it is well written, well, I am looking forward to Erzhi's new poems today, and I am good at writing, so I don't lose my hope. ”

Dizzy, still write? Li Zhen saw that she couldn't escape this catastrophe, and she didn't dare to say anything, but replied respectfully: "Yes, father, my son will definitely work hard." ”

"Well, that's good." Li Shimin suddenly smiled strangely, summoned Li Zhen to his side, and said in a low voice: "Zhen'er, all the ladies in Chang'an are here today, you are careful, if you have a heart, I will call the shots for you." ”

What? What? What? Make no mistake, the old man also found our happiness? Faint! Li Zhen had a headache when she thought of her own marriage, but seeing the strange smile on the old man's face, she didn't dare to say a word "no", so in desperation, she had to reply with a wry smile: "Yes, the son obeys the order." ”

"Okay, let's get busy." When the old man saw that what he had said, he didn't stay with Li Zhen anymore, waved his hand, and motioned for Li Zhen to retreat.

The old man called away, Li Zhen naturally didn't want to stay longer, and those harem concubines greeted them one by one, squeezed out of the crowd, led Chen Liang and a few other guards along the edge of the Kunming pool, and didn't care about the flow of people around, lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, those who tried to come forward to talk to Li Zhen about the students, the first-class characters were all blocked by Chen Liang and others, just walking, walking, and walked to the north of Kunming Pool, because of the mountain here, except for a few plum blossoms, there is no pavilion and pavilion, and there are few visitors, Li Zhen was also happy to be quiet, and sat a little bored under a bush of plum blossoms, thinking about nothing, just sitting quietly.

Li Zhen sat down and didn't care, Chen Liang and the others immediately lined up a vigilant posture, looking like they were facing a great enemy, not to mention anything else, a few "wooden stakes" stood up, and all the scenery was gone, seeing Li Zhen upset for a while, but he couldn't bear to blame his subordinates for their loyalty, frowned and glanced at the guards who were on guard on all sides, waved his hand and said: "Chen Liang, take the brothers to find Gao Yang to see if she has anything to help with." ”

"Your Highness, this ......" Chen Liang was stunned for a moment, and refused to move. Tell you to go, you will go, this is Shanglin Yuan, you don't need to follow this king, go, this king just wants to be alone and quiet, turn back to the end of the poetry meeting, this king will go to find you and wait. Li Zhen knew that Chen Liang was worried about his safety, but he really didn't want anyone to disturb his quietness, so he waved his hand and said a little impatiently.

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Chen Liang saw that Li Zhen's face was unhappy, and he didn't dare to insist any more, so he responded respectfully, and led his subordinates to leave the place directly.

Milling? Damn, what's so surprising about such a remote poor mountain village, the boss is so aggressive, not to mention the secret forces, even the soldiers who led the government in the East Palace have been sent, what are you doing? Could it be that there is a treasure trove of Turks buried in that small village? It's impossible, the Turks who used to live there were just some poor people, and it was a problem to eat and dress themselves, how could there be any treasures, well, did the boss plan to build a secret stronghold there? It's also impossible, there is no village in front of that place, there is no shop land behind, it is still a plain land, and it has no military value at all, even if you want to build a stronghold, it is impossible to find such a ghost place. What the hell is going on? Although the boss is a little stupid, he is not stupid enough to make such a big bloody case in the Beijing Division, there must be something greasy here, but what will it be?

The more Li Zhen thought about it, the more confused he became, how could he not figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the prince's gourd, and the mood that was not good was even more depressed at this time, and immediately some of them couldn't sit still, and they were working their waists, just thinking about standing up, but they forgot that they were sitting under the flowers at this time, but they heard a "bang" sound, Li Zhen's head and the branch came into close contact, and under the pain, he suddenly screamed "ouch", and just understood what was going on, but he heard a "poof" chuckle not far behind him.

Damn, who would dare to make fun of Lao Tzu? Li Zhen, who was already in a bad mood, immediately turned around angrily when she heard someone laughing at her, and then? Then, Li Zhen's eyes immediately straightened......
