In the middle of the night in 566 AD, Li Xun, the prince of the Tang Kingdom of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, sat in the garden all night and had no sleep.

After dawn, the Duchess of Tang Guo, who had also sat in the room all night without sleep, found the garden, and after whispering to her husband, the husband and wife both had a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Five days later, Emperor Wu approved the imperial case, and there was a request from Li Xun, the Duke of Tang Guo, saying that Anzhou is the important place of the army, and in order to protect the country's security, I wish to take the long town of Anzhou, only pity the weak wife of the family, and the young son is newborn, please allow the family to bring the Anzhou town army.

Emperor Wu did not hesitate to approve the quasi-word.

A month later, Li Xun, the Duke of Tang Guo, left several elderly children in the capital, and only took his youngest son Li Yuan, who was less than four months old, and his beloved wife to Anzhou Zhenjun.

Three years later, the little prince Li Yuan went home with the Duchess of Tang Guo to go to the funeral of his elders, and only then did he meet several of his brothers and sisters. In just half a year, Li Yuan, accompanied by the chief manager Li Er, left his mother and several brothers and sisters who were not in good health, and returned to Anzhou, his father.

After another three years, Tang Guogong suddenly contracted a serious illness and could not afford to fall ill. The six-year-old little Gongzi Yuan served by his side, and after seeking the permission of the emperor, the Duchess of Tang Guo took several children to Anzhou to take care of Tang Guogong.

A year later, Tang Guogong died, and the little prince Yuan was so sad because of the loss of his father that he was so sad that he contracted a serious illness and was dying. The Duchess of Tang Guo ordered her eldest son to represent Her Majesty and ask her youngest son Yuan to take the throne of the country, so as to temporarily prolong his life and protect himself by the grace of the saint. But after the table was approved by Yuwen Hu with cinnabar, he sent someone to return it to the Guogong Mansion in person. The Duchess of Tang Guo fell ill in shame. The Tang Mansion was in turmoil.

Emperor Wu was furious when he learned that Yuwen Hu dared to act on Zhu Zhu and his rudeness, and he was so rude that he immediately captured Yuwen Hu, killed the Mi Dao people, and exterminated the family and friends. Another decree was issued to approve the request of the Duchess of Tang Guo, and the young son Yuan was made the Duke of Tang Guo and crowned as a first-class duke.

Two years later, Yuan's health gradually recovered, but Mrs. Tang Guoxian became increasingly weak. In order to pray for his mother's well-being, Li Yuan, who was only nine years old, asked the saint to take back the position of Tang Guogong and return it to his brother, so as not to hurt his mother's love for the young. Emperor Wu took pity on him, and Yuan's brother Chang Cheng took pity on his younger brother for his young and lost heart, and he was benevolent and filial piety, and at the same time asked Emperor Wu to keep the title of the younger brother's country. And he said that he was weak, and he was really unblessed and unvirtuous to bear this grace. After Emperor Wu read it, he sighed that the Li brothers, brothers, brothers, In addition, Cheng was indeed weak, so Emperor Wu personally wrote a holy decree to Li Yuan, and asked him to inherit the title of Guogong and honor his mother, brothers and sisters in the future. And Taiyuan was also enshrined as the public land of the Tang Kingdom. and allowed his entire family to move to Taiyuan.

Two years later, Li Yuan was eleven years old, and his eldest brother Cheng finally died. Yuan mourned, did not enter the water for seven days, and was overwhelmed with grief. Emperor Wu was again sparse and persuaded him to restrain his sorrow a little and serve his mother.

Three years later, Emperor Wu died. Emperor Xuan ascended the throne. The people are not happy, and the officials are resentful.

Another three years, that is, in 581 AD, Emperor Jing Chan was located in Prime Minister Yang Jian, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Sui Xing.

In the midst of this wave of succession, the young Li Yuan, under the control of his mother, silently married the Dou family, who was younger than him, and gave birth to another son.

On the morning of January 23, 599 A.D., Li Yuan's wife, Dou, gave birth to a baby boy with a loud cry and long hands and feet in the Li family's martial arts annex.

Li Yuan happened to be appreciated by Emperor Wen that day, and he was promoted to an important position again, and he was happy to get a beloved son, so he immediately named the child Yuanhe, and told his wife that if a son was born in the future, he would be named after Yuanzi.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuanhe, the second son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan's mansion, was already four years old.

In the warm spring weather, Li Yuan's heart was extremely happy. Recently, the DPRK and China have been very stable, and there is nothing important to do. So today, I went down early and came back to accompany my beloved son Yuanhe, who I hadn't seen for a long time.

But as soon as he entered the house, he heard Yuan He crying loudly to the nurse Peng, saying that he wanted to go out to step on the green like his brother built.

Hearing his son's soft words, Li Yuan laughed: "Okay, my family and son have grown up!" I know that I want to be the same as my brother! Hahaha! ”

While laughing, he stepped into the door, stretched out his hand and hugged Yuan He, who was crying, held it high, and made a whirring sound in his mouth, and after a while, Yuan He burst into tears and laughed, just shouting for his father to raise it high again.

Li Yuan, who was in a good mood, also had this intention, so he simply raised it and raised it again. Seeing that the nurse next to her, Peng's heart was shocked, and she told the old man to be careful.

The father and son played for a while before Li Yuan stopped, looked at his son with a smile and asked, "He'er just said, where are you going?" ”

"My brother went to the southern suburbs, and He'er is going too! Father, and son should also go to many places like their elder brother! "Yuan He relied on his father to be coquettish.

The maids on the side couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, the second young master has loved the eldest young master since he was a child, how old is this, and he still won't change." ”

"yes, yes, what's the matter? Could it be that the eldest young master will become a relative in the future, and the second young master will also follow? ”

As soon as Yuan He heard this, he was in a hurry, his eyes were red, and he wanted to cry: "Don't, don't!" Don't marry with your eldest brother, and don't want your eldest brother to marry...... Woo......"

In a hurry, Yuanhe lay on his father's shoulder and cried sadly. Everyone was puzzled, and there was a burst of laughter for a while.

Li Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to caress his son's back, sighed and said: "Okay, good, Bishamen is not married, Bishamen is not married, he only plays with Yuanhe for the first life, and only accompanies Yuanhe for the first life, okay?" ”

Hearing his father's permission, the little Yuan He didn't know that this was just a casual remark, so he immediately stopped crying and sobbed and said yes. The result was another round of laughter.

"Father, you're too indulgent." In the midst of laughter and approval, a warm and touching voice came.

Everyone turned around and saw that a little young man with a face as delicate as jade, a radiant look, and a white coat embroidered with gold and gold was frowning, holding a small sword, standing behind everyone.

"Alas, alas, the private conversation between my father and Yuanhe was overheard by Bishamen. How is it good, how is it good......" Li Yuan joked with a smile.

When he saw his eldest brother, his father was abandoned by Yuanhe and ignored him.

The moment Bishamen (Li Jiancheng's small character) appeared, his eyes were all attracted by the eldest brother. Struggling to jump off the ground, Xiao Xiaoyuan and Sanliang rushed to Bishamen in two steps, and threw themselves into the arms that were opened early: "Big brother, big brother! ”

Jiancheng had already handed over the sword to the boy beside him, and then helplessly and lovingly hugged Yuanhe, took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his crying little face, and asked lovingly: "You...... What's the fuss? Why don't you let the eldest brother get married...... But do you want your eldest brother to hate you for the rest of your life? Is. ”

The crowd laughed again.

Xiao Xiaoyuan and his favorite eldest brother, and he was also the most afraid of his eldest brother, and when he heard the words of pity and reproach of the eldest brother, he couldn't help but bow his head and snort: "Yuanhe...... Yuanhe just wants his big brother to accompany ......"

"Big brother didn't say he wouldn't accompany you! You see, I've just finished practicing the sword, so I'm in a hurry to come back to you? ”

Yuan He's eyes were wet again: "But the eldest brother is always practicing swords, and he is more ...... when he accompanies the sword than he accompanies him."

Everyone laughed again, and Li Yuan was even more happy to squirt out the tea he had just drunk: "Come on, I'm a fool, I've eaten a handful of iron pimple vinegar." Ha ha! ”

"Father!" Jiancheng is angry and funny, I really don't know if it's good or bad to have such an overly tolerant father.

After laughing for a while, Jiancheng still didn't resist the coquettishness of his younger brother, and promised not to go to the study to study for the time being, and accompany Yuanhe to play in the suburbs.

Aiko had to travel, and Li Yuan was fine, so he ordered Jiancheng to take Yuanhe to invite his wife to go out to play together.

After a while, the two sons ran out of the back hall with strange faces. Li Yuan, who was laughing with the maids around him, saw the second son's face, and then he was relieved: "What about your mother?" ”

"Father is not in a hurry, mother just wants to sleep, so she ordered Bishamen and He'er to tell father that she does not want to go out." Jiancheng's expression was very hesitant: "Father, mother has been sleepy lately, isn't it...... Sick, huh? ”

When Li Yuan heard this, the corners of his eyes lit up slightly, and he ignored the questions of the two sons, glanced at each other with Peng, and went straight to the backyard in pairs.

After a while, the Peng family walked out happily, happily congratulating the two young masters, saying that the lady was already three months pregnant, and this time she must be importing Ding for the Li family.
