This question really puts Yang Yuhuan in a dilemma. Li Longji is already sixty-eight this year. No matter which dynasty, generation, time or place he is placed in, he can no longer be considered young. However, even between ordinary couples, to be honest,
It may not always be a virtue. Besides, she is facing a human emperor who can decide the prosperity and disgrace of the Yang family with just a few words?!
"Forget it! Just pretend I didn't ask?!" Sensitively aware of the hesitation in his beloved concubine's heart, Li Longji suddenly sighed again and sighed quietly.
"Actually, oldness and immortality cannot be determined by age alone!" Seeing Li Longji's abnormal behavior today, Yang Yuhuan felt soft for no reason, smiled, and explained softly.
This was originally a word of comfort, but to the ears of caring people, it was undoubtedly sung by Buddhists outside the world. In an instant, the color of sunshine flashed on Li Longji's face again, he lowered his head and looked into Yang Yuhuan's eyes, and asked with a bit of expectation,
"Really? Do you have other algorithms there?"
"Of course!" Unable to bear to disappoint Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan had to work hard to make it up perfectly even if it was a lie, "I once heard that God gives everyone a different life span. Some people are only in their early twenties.
But his face is covered with wrinkles, and he has to stop and gasp for breath after walking a few steps. And some people, even if they live to be over ninety, are still deaf and blind, and can climb mountains and ridges as fast as flying. If you don't ask about their age, just follow
Physically and mentally, who can say which one of them is older and which one is younger!"
"Oh?" When Li Longji heard this, the sunshine on his face became more intense, and the previous gray and defeated look was instantly diluted.
"And these are also closely related to personal blessings. The more profound the blessings, the slower one ages. Not to mention living to ninety, it is not surprising even to live to be a hundred or hundreds of years old. As for those blessings
A shallow person can live to be forty years old, which is considered a long life." Finally freed herself from the sudden problem, Yang Yuhuan's mouth became more and more flexible. Following the vague guess of the other party's thoughts, she will
The sweet words were perfectly woven, "I have heard someone say that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the past were often hundreds or even thousands of years old. During the Warring States Period, the veteran Lian Po was in his seventies and could still eat half a meal per meal.
Fight. Mount your horse with a spear and kill the enemy! As for this dynasty, thanks to the blessings of the wise kings of the past generations, there are even more people whose bodies and bones are almost unaffected by the years. There are no less than twenty of Guangchen's concubines who can name them!"
The second half of the words were clearly confusing the difference between age and physical condition, but Li Longji listened more and more to his ears. He smiled and took the initiative to follow Yang Yuhuan's words and added, "Yes,
The founder of this dynasty, the great ancestor, was still able to bend a bow and shoot wild geese in his seventies. Although Taizong died early, he was still as fast as a dragon. Although my blessings cannot be compared with those of the great ancestor, in terms of running the country, he did not disgrace him.
Shame!" (Note 1)
"Not only did you not bring shame to the great ancestor, the people outside have also been praising your achievements. They say that in the past few years of your reign, the Tang Dynasty, regardless of its national strength and the prosperity of the people, has moved far beyond benevolence, longevity and Zhenguan!" Yang Yuhuan
He cast an appreciative glance at the other party and added with a smile.
Although he knew it was a compliment, Li Longji still felt very comfortable in his heart. He shook his head, smiled and said modestly: "How can the remarks of those village men and women be taken seriously? They just saw their own rice vats.
There are just a few liters of leftover grain in it, how can you appreciate the difficulty that Emperor Gaozu had to put down the troubled times?"
"But your Majesty also tried his best to save Tianhe back then!" Yang Yuhuan raised his head, the admiration in his eyes was clearly visible. "I heard from the elders that Empress Wei and Princess Taiping took turns to make the Tang Dynasty crumbling.
Thanks to His Majesty’s decisive action, we were able to turn the tide!”
One of the things that Li Longji was most proud of was that when he was young, he first assisted his father in killing Queen Wei to seize the throne, and then killed his father's ally and his own aunt when almost everyone thought it was impossible to win.
The execution of Princess Taiping completely reversed the years of turmoil within the Tang Dynasty.
He was only twenty-eight years old at that time. He was extremely energetic and physically strong. His ability to control and judge the overall situation far exceeded that of his father and uncles who had been emperors. Among Yao Chong, Song Jing and others
With the help of the emperor, he purified the administration, selected good talents, opened up the public opinion, and had the courage to accept advice. In just five years, the Tang Dynasty was revitalized. Not only did the people's lives become increasingly prosperous, but also through a series of fierce battles, Empress Wu regained the power of the Tang Dynasty.
During his reign, he gradually lost large areas of territory such as the Western Regions and Liaodong.
But now, he is sixty-eight years old. When he thinks of the forty-year gap, the clouds on Li Longji's face begin to gather again. He is old, and he can't even admit it. Forty years ago,
Even if I do all the big and small things personally, I will not feel tired or tired at all. But now, even if Yang Guozhong and others have repeatedly selected the memorials, I still feel exhausted when reviewing them.
Seeing that Li Longji's face began to darken again, Yang Yuhuan slowly leaned forward, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly: "Actually, Your Majesty looks really young. But I am a concubine, and her appearance has gradually declined recently.
I looked in the mirror this morning and saw a few white hairs! Alas!"
"Alas!" Li Longji responded with a sigh, feeling sad.
Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world. I saw in the memorials of Yang Guozhong and others that in order to prevent Feng Changqing and Ge Shuhan's generation of famous generals from aging, they advocated promoting young generals on a large scale, which made me feel touched and furious.
Why didn't Yuhuan worry about his old age and fading beauty every day, and his love gradually faded away? Thinking of this, he resonated with the other party in his heart even more. He smiled, held up the other party's face, and whispered: "You can say stupid things, but how old are you?"
, just dare to call me old!" (Note 2)
"Your Majesty will not stop doting on me just because I am old!" Yang Yuhuan covered the back of Li Longji's hands with both hands, murmuring in a low voice as if praying.
"No. You are not old. I will not despise you for being old!" Li Longji's mood immediately softened and he nodded, making a solemn promise.
"Then I will never despise His Majesty for being old. Even if His Majesty is really old one day, I will not despise him!" As if he suddenly turned into a child, Yang Yuhuan closed his eyes and said silly things to himself.
Looking at the beautiful red lips in front of him, Li Longji's heart rolled with tenderness, "Okay. I will make a promise to you. In our lives, no one will dislike anyone. We will stay together till the end of our lives!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Yuhuan suddenly became sentimental, tears rolling down the corners of his eyes. "With your Majesty's words, even if I die now, it will be worth it!"
"Silly boy!" Li Longji stretched out his thumb and gently wiped away the tears on his beloved concubine's face. The tears were very hot, and his blood was slowly being burned. "You are such a stupid boy. None of us can
Isn't it okay if you don't care about anyone? You don't care about me, and I don't care about you either. How about growing old together, dying together, becoming immortals together, and ascending to heaven together?"
"My concubine is indeed stupid sometimes." Yang Yuhuan cried more and more sadly. She hugged Li Longji's thin body, buried her head in it, and sobbed loudly. "Your Majesty, don't dislike me. I don't dislike your majesty either. This is
We will spend the rest of our lives together, and we will never let anyone down!"
"Well!" Li Longji smiled and slowly patted the beauty's jade back with his big hand. He was really crazy just now. Yang Guozhong and the others were also thinking about the long-term interests of the country. Why did he start a fire for no reason?! Even Yuhuan suffered.
Chi Yuzhi was almost frightened by herself. She should have considered that she had always been timid. She was afraid of being accused of being involved in politics in the harem, and she never dared to say a word about matters in the court. Including the promotion of Yang Guozhong as prime minister this time.
After she found out, she tactfully confessed to herself again and again that she was not willing to affect state affairs because of family affairs. She was also not willing to dilute her love for her for no reason because of Yang Guozhong's mistakes in the court.
The more he thought about it in detail, the more Li Longji regretted it. The more he regretted it, the more tenderness he felt in his heart. With a bit of guilt, he leaned down and whispered in the other person's ear, "Yuhuan, do you still remember last year?"
On Chinese Valentine's Day, when I drank wine with you and admired the moon, did I say something to you? Maybe you have forgotten it. I have never said the same thing to anyone except you in my life."
Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan's tears stopped. Lihua's face was filled with emotion and guilt, "I was stupid today, your Majesty, please don't blame me! I will never do it again!"
"How can I bear to blame you for your silly words!" Li Longji smiled, pinched the other person's nose, and said dotingly, "Do you remember that sentence? Maybe you have forgotten it, but I keep it in my heart!"
"How dare I forget!" Yang Yuhuan raised her face, her eyes sparkling, "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven..."
"I would like to be Lian Lizhi!" Li Longji forcefully hugged the other party with his arms. It was a bit strenuous, but his body, which had been practicing martial arts since childhood, could still hold on. "I will never forget it.
You are not allowed to forget either!”
"Your Majesty!" Yang Yuhuan called out delicately. No matter how true her feelings for Li Longji were, at least at this moment, she was deeply moved by him. "This is the imperial study. You have another one."
There are a lot of memorials. Ah, ah—!"
"Go to the damn imperial study room, go to hell with the memorial!" Li Longji cursed smoothly, without any trace of the stability on his face. He staggered for a few steps and pressed Yang Yuhuan behind the imperial desk.
On the bed. Who said I am old? I am not old. Sixty-eight years old is nothing. I will try it for myself!
"Creak!" The study door was gently closed from the outside. Inside the green-tiled red wall, several late peach trees were in full bloom.

With this marksmanship, he defeated many competitors in one fell swoop and got the beauty as he wished. In order to highlight Li Shimin's achievements, later unofficial historians
Li Yuan's image has been derogated too much, but his outstanding shooting skills have always been preserved.
