Chapter 2 Tianhe (Part 2)

This question made Yang Yuhuan really a little embarrassed. Li Longji is already in his 60s this year, and no matter which dynasty, generation, time or place he places in, he can no longer be regarded as young. However, even between ordinary couples, telling the truth may not always be a virtue. Besides, at this moment, she is still facing a human emperor who can decide the rise and fall of the Yang family with a casual word?!

"Forget it! Just don't ask?! Sensitively perceiving the hesitation in the concubine's heart, Li Longji suddenly sighed again and sighed faintly.

"Actually, whether you are old or not old cannot be counted based on age alone!" Seeing that Li Longji's behavior today was repeatedly abnormal, Yang Yuhuan's heart softened for no reason, smiled, and explained softly.

This is a word of relief, listened to in the ears of those who have a heart, but it is undoubtedly sung in the heavens. In an instant, Li Longji's face flashed with sunshine, looked down at Yang Yuhuan's eyes, and asked with a little expectation, "Really?" Could it be that you have other algorithms there? ”

"Of course!" can't bear to disappoint Li Longji, even if he makes up nonsense, Yang Yuhuan has to work hard to make it up successfully, "The concubine once heard that God gives everyone a different lifespan. Some were only in their early twenties, but their faces were full of wrinkles, and they had to stop and gasp for breath after a few steps. And even if some people live to be 90 miles away, they are still deaf and blind, and they climb mountains and mountains and walk like flying. Regardless of their age, who can say which of them is older and which is younger, both physically and mentally! ”

"Oh?" When Li Longji heard this, the sunlight on his face became more and more intense, and the previous gray color was diluted a lot in an instant.

And these are also closely related to personal well-being. The more blessed you are, the slower you age. It is not surprising that Sensei said that he lived to be ninety, even if he lived to be one hundred to hundreds of years old. As for those who are shallow in their blessings, if they can live to be forty years old, they are already considered to be long-lived. Finally freed himself from the problem that suddenly came, Yang Yuhuan's mouth became more and more flexible. Following the vaguely guessed other party's thoughts, she made up the sweet words in detail, "The concubine also heard that the three emperors and five emperors in the past were often hundreds of years old, or even thousands of years old. During the Warring States Period, the veteran Lian Po was in his seventies, and he could still eat half a bucket at every meal. Grab the horse with a lance and kill the enemy! As for this dynasty, thanks to the blessings of the Ming monarchs of the past dynasties, there are more people whose bodies and bones are almost unaffected by the years. There are no less than 20 concubines who can name them! ”

In the second half of the paragraph, it is already obvious that the difference between age and physical condition is confused, but the more Li Longji listens to it, the more pleasant it becomes. smiled, and took the initiative to follow Yang Yuhuan's words and added, "Yes, the founding ancestor of this dynasty can still bend his bow and shoot geese in his ancient years." Although Taizong and his old man went early, he was also a tiger. Although my blessings cannot be compared with Gaozu, in terms of governing the country, it has not disgraced his old man! (Note 1)

"It's not just that he didn't disgrace Gao Zu and his old man! The mouths of the people outside have always praised your deeds. It is said that during your reign, regardless of the national strength and the degree of solidity of the people, Datang has far-reaching Renshou and Zhenguan! Yang Yuhuan threw himself at the other party and glanced at him appreciatively, and added with a smile.

Although he knew that this was a compliment, Li Longji still felt very comfortable in his heart. Shaking his head, he smiled and said modestly: "How can the remarks of those village husbands and women be taken seriously. They just saw a few liters of surplus grain in their rice jar, how could they appreciate the difficulty of Gaozu in pacifying the troubled times back then! ”

"But back then, Your Majesty also tried to save the sky!" Yang Yuhuan raised his head, and the meaning of worship in his eyes was clearly visible. "The concubines heard from the elders that Empress Wei and Princess Taiping took turns tossing and turning, making the Tang Dynasty crumbling. Thanks to His Majesty's decisive action, he was able to turn the tide! ”

The first of the few things that Li Longji was most proud of was that when he was young, he first assisted his father to kill Wei Hou and seize the throne, and then when everyone almost thought that it was impossible to win, he killed his father's ally, his aunt Princess Taiping. It completely reversed the turbulent situation within the Tang Dynasty.

He was only twenty-eight years old. Mentally and physically exuberant. The ability to control and judge the overall situation far exceeds that of several other fathers and uncles who have been emperors. With the assistance of Yao Chong, Song Jing and others, they purged the officials, selected good materials, opened up their views, and had the courage to admonish. In just five years, Datang has been rejuvenated. Not only did it make the people's lives richer and richer, but through a series of vicious battles, they regained large territories such as the Western Regions and Liaodong that were gradually lost during the reign of Empress Wu.

But now, he is sixty-eight years old. As soon as he thought of the forty-year gap, the clouds on Li Longji's face began to converge again. I'm old, and I can't admit it if I want to. Forty years ago, I didn't feel the slightest tiredness and boredom even if I did everything big and small. And now, even if it has been repeatedly selected by Yang Guozhong and others, I still feel exhausted when I review it.

Seeing that Li Longji's face began to sink again, Yang Yuhuan slowly leaned up, snuggled up to the other party's shoulder, and said softly: "Actually, Your Majesty really doesn't look very old. It's the concubine, her face has been declining recently, and when she looked in the mirror this morning, she actually saw a few white hairs! Alas! ”

"Alas!" Li Longji had a relative, and responded with a sigh.

Since ancient times, beauties have been like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. When he saw the twists and turns of Yang Guozhong and others, in order to prevent the aging of the famous generals of Feng Changqing and Ge Shuhan, he advocated the promotion of young generals, and then he was touched and angry. Yuhuan is not worried about old age and decay every day, and his favor is gradually fading. Thinking of this, he resonated with the other party even more in his heart. smiled and cupped the other party's face, and said in a low voice: "Say stupid things, how old are you, dare to call old!" (Note 2)

"Your Majesty won't stop pampering your concubines because they are old!" Yang Yuhuan covered the back of Li Longji's hand with both hands, as if pleading, and whispered in a low voice.

"No, it won't. You're not old. I won't dislike you for being old! Li Longji's mood immediately softened so soft that he could wrap his fingers, nodded, and solemnly promised.

"That concubine will never be too old for Your Majesty. Even if His Majesty is really old one day, he will not dislike it! As if suddenly becoming a child, Yang Yuhuan closed his eyes and said stupid things to himself.

Looking at the delicate red lips in front of him, Li Longji's heart rolled tenderly, "Okay." I have a pact with you. In our lives, no one will dislike anyone. Let's stay together for the rest of our lives!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Yuhuan suddenly became sentimental, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes. "With Your Majesty's words, even if the concubine dies now, it's worth it!"

"Silly boy!" Li Longji stretched out his thumb and gently wiped away the tears on his favorite concubine's face. The tears were hot, and his blood was slowly burning, "You're such a stupid boy. None of us dislike anyone, right? You don't hate me, and I don't hate you. Grow old together, die together, feather together, ascend to heaven, how? ”

"Concubines do sometimes make fools." Yang Yuhuan cried more and more sadly, hugged Li Longji's thin and angular body, buried his head in it, and whimpered. "Your Majesty is not suspicious of concubines. The concubines do not dislike Your Majesty. The rest of my life will be spent together, and no one will disappoint anyone! ”

"Hmm!" Li Longji smiled and slowly patted the beauty's jade back with his big hand. I was really stupid just now, Yang Guozhong and they are also thinking about the long-term development of this country, why did they start a fire for no reason? ! Even Yuhuan suffered from the pond fish, and was almost frightened by himself. I should consider that she has always been timid. Afraid of taking on the name of the harem to interfere in politics, he never dared to make a half-sentence discussion about the affairs of the court. Including the promotion of Yang Guozhong to prime minister this time, after she knew about it, she repeatedly and tactfully confessed to herself that she did not want to affect state affairs because of family affairs. is even more reluctant to dilute his favor for her for no reason because Yang Guozhong made any mistakes in the court.

The more he pondered about it, the more Li Longji regretted it. The more he regretted it, the more tender his heart overflowed. With a little apology, he lowered his head and whispered softly in the other party's ear, "Yuhuan, do you remember what I said to you when I was drinking wine and admiring the moon with you on Qixi Festival last year?" Maybe you've forgotten. I have never said the same thing to anyone but you in my life. ”

Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan's tears stopped abruptly. On the pear blossom's rain-like face, she was moved and guilty, "The concubine made a fool today, Your Majesty don't blame it!" The concubine will never be again! ”

"Stupid, how can I be willing to blame you!" Li Longji smiled and pinched the other party's nose, and said dotingly, "Remember that sentence?" Maybe you've forgotten it, but I've kept it in my heart! ”

"How dare the concubines forget!" Yang Yuhuan raised his face, his eyes sparkling, "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven......."

"On the ground, I wish to be a Lian Lizhi!" Li Longji slammed his arms and hugged the other party steadily. It's a little hard, but this body that has practiced martial arts since childhood can still hold up. "I won't forget, and you won't forget!"

"Your Majesty!" Yang Yuhuan shouted coquettishly. No matter how true her feelings for Li Longji were, at least at this moment, she was deeply moved by the other party, "This is the imperial study." You've got a whole bunch of twists and turns. Ahh——!h ”

"Go to the mother's study, go to the mother's fold!" Li Longji scolded casually, without the slightest steadiness on his face. He hurriedly took a few steps and pressed Yang Yuhuan on the wide Hu bed behind the imperial case. Who said I was old, I just didn't get old. Sixty-eight years old is nothing, I'll try to show myself!

"Squeak-" The study door was gently closed from the outside. In the red wall of Biwa, a few late peaches are blooming.

Note 1: Li Yuan is a famous marksman. When he was young, he went to Dou's house to ask for relatives, and once shot a peacock's eye on the screen. With this magic shot, he overwhelmed many competitors in one fell swoop, and got the beauty as he wished. In order to highlight Li Shimin's merits, the later historians derogated Li Yuan's image too much. But the outstanding aspect of archery has always been retained.

Note 2: Since ancient times, beauties have been like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. The origin of this term is unknown, but it was first recorded in the Qing Dynasty. In the novel, it should have been there for a long time!
