Li Yuan was able to stand out during the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and become the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Although he was somewhat different from those wise and powerful founding emperors in history, he was indeed a qualified emperor. His biggest problem was to protect his calf.

But his calf protection is not without reason.

Li Yuan always felt guilty about his family.

Li Yuan was born into a noble family in Northern Zhou, ranking fourth and youngest. As the fourth, it is said that the title of Duke Tang would not be his turn. But he had extraordinary luck, or the Lone Star of Tiansha. His brothers died early when he was young. When he was seven years old, his father also died with him. He was the only man in the Li family, and Li Yuan, who was still a little kid, inherited the title of Duke Tang.

Since the age of seven, Li Yuan has been seeking survival in troubled times, and has bumped all the way. When Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was valued by Yang Guang and was exiled to serve as an official.

The Li family's ancestral home is in Hedong, and Li Yuan is an official in another place. I don't know whether it is a custom or a rule. The Li family lives in their hometown in Hedong. Only the genuine wife Dou and her second son Li Shimin have been following Li Yuan and taking up their posts outside.

At that time, there was a rule that officials allowed to return home every three years, which means that children living in their hometown in Hedong could only meet their biological parents every three years.

Li Jiancheng is ten years older than the second son Li Shimin, and he is the eldest son in the family. He has already started a family and has no impact. It is the same as Li Xuanba who died early, but the situation of Li Yuanji, Li Zhiyun and others can be imagined. At the age of young people, they have no difference between having a father and not having a father.

Later, Li Yuan was appointed as the one who stayed in Taiyuan, and the world was in chaos, so he decided to raise an army. He secretly informed Li Jiancheng that he would lead his family to give up Hedong and sneak back to Taiyuan. However, for some reason, the news leaked, and the Sui army was in a big way. Only Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji escaped from the Li family's ancestral residence.

Li Yuan's fifth son Li Zhiyun and Li Jiancheng's wife and children, Li Yuan's grandchildren, all died tragically under the swords of officers and soldiers.

The fifth son Li Zhiyun and Li Yuan have been with him twice in his life, once when he was just born, once when he was three years old, and even never saw his youngest grandson.

Li Yuan was also condemned in his heart for this and was extremely pampered by the remaining children.

Li Yuan's heart is as clear as a mirror when Li Yuanji does, but he still protects and teaches patiently.

His "missing" was speechless, and Li Yuan seemed to have become ten years older and fell ill in the bed.

As Pingyang's fiancé, Luo Shixin naturally had to visit Pingyang in the palace.

On June 11, 2018, Luo Shixin made an appointment to visit Li Yuan with Pingyang to visit Tai Chi Hall.

The climate of this year was the hottest July and August before the beginning of summer. The rolling heat waves had swept across Chang'an, making the huge Chang'an look like a big steamer.

Luo Shixin is strong and can withstand the cold. In the snowy winter, taking a cool bath is like nothing. But in an old saying, people who are resistant to cold must be afraid of heat. He has no way to deal with the heat. Just move a little, the sweat on his body will fall like rain.

This is not from the Youxiaowei Mansion to the Zuowei Mansion in Pingyang. One is in front and the other is behind, only a street away, and it takes only a few hundred steps to take a shortcut. I even arrived in the blink of an eye when riding Chipiao, but in this blink of an eye, my hair was wet.

Luo Shixin, who had almost completely integrated into this era, suddenly thought of air conditioning and thought how great it would be if he could stay in an air-conditioned room.

He threw Ai Piao under the sun in a ruthless manner, and stood in the shadow of Euemon's eaves as he followed the doorman. It had no effect, but it was much better than being exposed to the sun in the sun.

At this time, a gorgeous carriage suddenly turned from the corner of the street. Luo Shixin looked familiar and suddenly became afraid of his head. Isn’t this Pingyang’s carriage?

Just as he was thinking, Pingyang lifted the curtain and asked him to get in.

Pingyang learned riding and archery since childhood and liked to use horses for transportation. He rarely rode in a carriage. Since he became an official, he even abandoned the carriage. Even Luo Shixin had only seen it two or three times. Until today, the sun is too big. For the sake of her own skin, she specially ordered someone to go back to the house to take care of the carriage and send it over. It was a bit unrestrained at the gate, so she parked in the side yard.

Luo Shixin trotted into the carriage. As soon as he sat down, Pingyang handed him a fan and used the fan in his hand to slap him in the wind.

Luo Shixin felt the gentle breeze, and the heat in his heart dissipated greatly. He couldn't help but complain: "This thief is a little too hot. If this continues, I will get a carriage."

Pingyang nodded and said, "That's true! I didn't even dare to practice morning exercises these two days, so I stayed in the study room to read books. Otherwise, it would be slimy before I could wave it, which would be a bad feeling. What about you, are you afraid of hot reading more than me, so how can you bear it?"

Luo Shixin smiled and said, "I will teach you a way to keep it refreshed and comfortable. Not to mention morning exercises, even practicing martial arts under the sun is not a problem."

Pingyang looked stunned.

Luo Shixin whispered: "Isn't there a lake in your yard? Jump into the lake to practice, and if you sweat, you can drill into the water to ensure comfort. Moreover, there is resistance to the water. Practicing in the water is easier to exercise your endurance, explosiveness, and training effect is better than usual than usual."

Pingyang was very moved after hearing this, but he didn't expect that there would be such a solution.

Luo Shixin thought about it and reminded with a little strange expression: "But one thing you need to pay attention to. We men don't care about this. You women can't ignore it. If you see it all, I will lose a lot."

"You!" Ping Yang laughed with great energy and couldn't help but kick him.

The two of them were playing and entered the palace in a carriage.

After coming to the near Tai Chi Hall, Pingyang began to fall silent.

Pingyang did not show any sadness about Li Yuanji's disappearance. As a female, a female, who fought on the battlefield, she was a little indifferent to birth, old age, sickness and death. Moreover, she had some complaints about Li Yuanji's actions. She did not like the extremely bad brother.

Because of Li Yuanji's disappearance, the Qi Palace was in chaos, and it felt like a tree fell and money was scattered. Many unethical things that Li Yuanji did in secret were also spread out.

Pingyang also saw through Li Yuanji's nature.

What made her worried was Li Yuan. He had a heart disease, and there was no cure for this heart disease. Li Yuan could not be treated for one day, and his illness would become more serious.

When it approached Li Yuan's bedroom, Ping Yang's thoughts became heavier due to the influence.

Luo Shixin didn't say anything. On the one hand, he was considerate of Ping Yang's mood, and on the other hand, his own mood was a bit complicated. As the real culprit who killed Li Yuanji with his own hands, visiting Li Yuan who fell ill because of Li Yuanji, the relationship should not be too complicated.

However, he never regretted the matter of Li Yuanji, nor did he show much greatness.

The reason for killing Li Yuanji is that Li Yuanji wants to kill him, but he just kills him, which is related to the chaos of eliminating harm to the world.

Simple and clear!

When they arrived at the Xitang of Tai Chi Palace, Luo Shixin and Pingyang got off the carriage one after another and asked someone to go up and report.

Li Yuan had never refused Pingyang's request for advice. Of course, it was the same this time.

Luo Shixin and Pingyang, led by the eunuch, bypassed Li Yuan's bedroom and walked towards the backyard of Xitang.

Pingyang asked strangely.

The eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty thinks the bedroom is too hot, so he is now enjoying the cold in the pavilion."

When I arrived at the pavilion in the backyard, I saw a fat man lying on the stool from afar. Five or six palace maids were slapping him gently, and sandalwood was burning next to him.

Even if he gets sick, Li Yuan still knows how to enjoy it.

Pingyang looked stunned.

Luo Shixin also looked amazed.

When he came close, Luo Shixin thought to himself: "This man relies on clothes and his horse relies on saddles. What he said is that there is no mistake at all."

Li Yuan, wearing a dragon robe, certainly has a feeling of ten-circle waist, but he has a majestic spirit that makes people look up. Li Yuan, wearing a casual outfit, also has a noble spirit on his body, but now he is wearing an inner robe that is close to his skin and his thighs, and he doesn't look like an emperor no matter how he looks.

The exposed body of fat, even if he lies on the stool, was as tall as the fat man selling meat on the market.

No!

Even worse than that, the fat man who sells meat is at least full of energy and loud voice.

But Li Yuan was lying sickly on the stool, and he was about to die like a chicken who was infected with the plague.

In fact, Ping Yang is the one who has the most impact, and his father's image has completely collapsed.

Li Yuan was hereditary to become the Duke of Tang at the age of seven, and began to rely on himself. He was young and mature, and was skilled in archery and horse skills. He was highly valued by the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian and Yang Guang. It is not an exaggeration to call him a hero of the times.

Pingyang learned riding and archery with Li Yuan since he was a child. At that time, he was the best in the aristocratic circle, especially in Li Yuan's social circle. Therefore, Pingyang, a little girl, learned from his father with an admiration since he was a child.

Now that he has grown up, he has become a heroine. Although he knows that his father is negligent in archery and horses as the emperor, he is getting fatter and he is no longer as before. But he never expected that his father, whom he admired since childhood, has become a fat man of this appearance.

This rationally knew that the fat man in front of him was his father, but he was a little emotionally rejected.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Luo Shixin bowed and bowed.

Ping Yang was shocked and didn't react for a moment. Seeing Luo Shixin like this, he was busy adding: "I pay homage to my father."

"No gifts and no gifts! We are all a family, so there is no need to be too polite. We all find a place to sit by ourselves!" Li Yuan was a little weak and spoke a little weakly. However, facing Pingyang and Luo Shixin's arrival, he was still very happy, and his expression of joy was reflected on his face.

Luo Shixin understood in his heart that Li Yuan regarded him as his family, so he was not afraid of making a fool of himself, nor did he care about any details and sat down casually.

Pingyang is the same, but she was still a little confused in her heart, and she was confused about how her worshipped father turned into this look.

"Your Majesty, are you in good health? His Highness, the King of Qi, can slaughter lions and tigers, but he just got separated for a while. The Qinling Mountains are vast, and it can reach Gansu in the west and Jingzhou in the east. It will take some time to get out, so don't worry too much." Luo Shixin comforted Li Yuan, perhaps because Li Yuan does not look like an emperor now, or because Li Yuan regards him as a family. In his eyes, Li Yuan is his future father-in-law. This future father-in-law has a heart disease and needs comfort.

Li Yuan sighed: "You don't need to comfort me. I've been hunting all my life. How can I not know the dangers in the mountains? Silang may not be afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, but what is more powerful than jackals, tigers and leopards are snakes, insects, bees and ants, poisonous flowers and venomous flowers and venomous plants. What if I bite the poisonous snakes and venomous plants, or hibernate the poisonous flowers and venomous plants, then... why don't I worry about it? Alas, it's all my fault, I spoiled him too much. I hurt him."

Luo Shixin could feel Li Yuan's mood, and Xu'er said: "Your Majesty, do you think the Taibai Mountain in Qinling is powerful. Or is the flood more powerful? Zheng Liwan's girl has no power to tie a chicken, which makes the flood sweep away. She can come back after more than a year. Your Highness, the King of Qi, is lucky and the heavenly world. She will definitely be safe and sound."

He didn't say this much. He felt it wasn't good after he said it.

really!

When Li Yuan heard Luo Shixin mention Zheng Liwan, he immediately said angrily: "Are you comforting me or are you angry with me? If Pingyang hadn't repeatedly said good things to you, I would have decided not to spare you. With Pingyang, you are not satisfied!"

Luo Shixin hurriedly said, "Isn't this an example? If you don't talk about Li Wan's affairs, this matter is indeed my fault. It's true that I'm sorry to Pingyang. Pingyang is so large that it can accommodate Li Wan. It really touched me. Your Majesty rests on this. I will definitely take good care of him and take good care of her and will never let her suffer any grievances."

This was the first time Pingyang heard Luo Shixin say so stingy, and in front of his father, he felt ashamed to find a hole to drill down.

Li Yuan was very satisfied when he heard this, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot and became much more pleasant unexpectedly.

Seeing this astonishing attack, Luo Shixin hurriedly pursued the victory and said, "Everything is like this, I am a person who has experienced it. Since Your Majesty cannot determine whether Your Highness King Qi is alive, that is, Your Highness may be alive. Since you are alive, aren't you so sad?"

Li Yuan coughed twice and said, "What if I really am gone?"

Luo Shixin smiled and said, "This is the last thing that may not be favored. If you are gone, you will be gone. If you die, you will not be resurrected. Your Majesty cherishes Your Highness so much. It is useless to be sad. It is not too late to be sad at that time! The simplest calculation is that Your Highness will be alive, and Your Majesty will be in vain. If Your Highness really encounters misfortune, at least before you get the news, wouldn't you make a profit for so many days? Your Majesty is wise and powerful, but he is as simple as Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang. He will not be confused about such a simple gain or loss."

"Haha!" Li Yuan suddenly laughed, "What you said is reasonable, it makes sense!" He laughed loudly, and he couldn't breathe even when he was angry. He coughed loudly and patted his chest vigorously.

Pingyang was so scared that he hurried forward and patted Li Yuan on the back, glared at Luo Shixin angrily, and said, "Don't listen to him talk nonsense, there is no such calculation."

"No, right!" Li Yuan gasped for a while, and then said: "What Shixin said really makes sense. Silang's message is gone, and it does not mean death. I was too sad, as if I curse him to die, and my body was not worth it. It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this." As he said that, he breathed a long sigh, as if he had spit out the depression in his chest and his spirit improved.

He looked at Luo Shixin with a little kindness and said, "It is said that the son-in-law is half a son, half a son, and my other son-in-law want to see what I want to see when I see each other, and I thought it was exaggerated. Now I have realized that you are much more filial than my incompetent sons."

"It's not like Dalang, Erlang..." As he said that, he complained bitterly, scolding Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin's fault. "I love them in vain for two unreasonable guys. I usually come back to talk to me about it. Now I'm sick, but I don't see any shadow."

Pingyang still had a deep relationship with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, so he hurriedly explained to them: "It's not all their faults. Brother, isn't the second brother trying to share the worries of his father? His father is ill, so the Tang Dynasty depends on them. I heard that the eldest brother has gone out early and returned late recently, and everyone has been living around."

Luo Shixin also agreed, but there was a little strangeness in his heart.
