How fond Li Longji is to Yang Yuhuan can be seen from a fruit, that is, lychees.
The "Supplement to the History of the Tang Kingdom" says: "Yang Guifei was born in Shu and was good at eating lychees. ”
The New Book of Tang and the Biography of Yang Guifei have: "Concubines love lizhi and will want to be born." ”
But Yang Yuhuan was in Chang'an at this time, and Chang'an had no lychees, and could only be shipped from his hometown of Chuandong.
Chuandong is Chuandong, Li Longji waved a big hand, and Yang Yuhuan began to eat lychee.
However, an accident made Yang Yuhuan discover that Lingnan's lychees were better, and she preferred Lingnan's lychees.
At this time, there is a problem, that is, from Lingnan to Chang'an is really far, converted to now, the distance is more than 2100 kilometers, it takes 2 hours by plane, and it takes 30 hours by train.
What about in ancient times? In fact, even with the fast horse pass of the pawn, it can only run 200 kilometers a day, so it takes about 10 and a half days.
10 and a half days, even the apple it has to rot on a handle, not to mention the bumpy lychee that may break if you are not careful, and when you wait, it is estimated that it has been hairy.
But Yang Yuhuan wanted to eat! Li Long based on a big hand, Lingnan lychee became a tribute.
But how did the Tang Dynasty make Yang Yuhuan eat fresh lychees?
The "Supplement to the History of the Tang Kingdom" says: "Born in the South China Sea, especially those who are victorious over Shu, they gallop forward every year." ”
The New Book of Tang and the Biography of Yang Guifei has: "It is a teleportation on horseback, walking thousands of miles, and the taste has not changed to the Beijing Master." ”
These historical materials have been made very clear - "galloping forward", "riding and teleporting", and constantly changing people and horses to achieve the purpose of the capital before the lychee has rotted.
Of course, there is another way, that is, to dig up the tree together, Colliers is a Lingnanian, in order to win favor, put a lot of hard work on the lychee.
Like Guangzhou Zengcheng hanging green is resistant to preservation of lychee plants, so take over, directly pick it off, the road is slower, rotten a little no harm.
However, the fact is not only such an understatement, it is often "rushing to block the danger, the dead follow the road".
There is also Su Shi who wrote "Lychee Sigh": ten miles a place of flying dust ash, five miles a soldier fire urging... The palace beauty broke her face, and the dust splashed and blood flowed for thousands of years.
Although it is not as exaggerated as Su Shi's "dust and blood splash", it can be known that Yang Yuhuan's eating of lychees was indeed condemned by the literati.
The literati generally believe that this kind of behavior is very extravagant, very corrupt, and unsuitable.
But what is Lee Long-kee's attitude?
The "Guangdong New Language" says: "Noble concubines eat lychees everywhere, eat from sour to sweet, and eat from green and yellow to red." "Let her eat all year."
Especially according to modern scientific research, lychee is a fruit with beauty benefits.
Of course, the earliest is Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" has: "Lychee, the name of the branch, Dan Li; the main treatment quenches thirst and benefits people's color." "Beneficial color" means that it can make people white and red.
After analysis, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that there are 4 trace elements in lychees, namely vitamin A, vitamin C, protein, and calcium.
And their content per 100 grams can reach: 2 micrograms, 41 mg, 0.9 grams, 2 mg.
They can act to maintain the elasticity of the skin, lighten the spots of the skin, and prevent skin aging.
Therefore, Yang Yuhuan - "hot spring water slippery washing gel", "a branch of red dew condensation", "hibiscus like a face willow like an eyebrow", "snow skin flower appearance is jagged", "pear blossom a branch of spring with rain".
And Li Longji naturally treated her as "looking like a king with a smile", "from now on the king is not early in the dynasty", "spring from the spring to the night", "sisters and brothers are all soldiers".
That is to say, Yang Yuhuan eating lychees is not simply eating lychees, part of the reason is that she wants to use her appearance to prevent the emperor from changing his heart, and she also clearly knows what her capital is.
And the more Li Longji let Yang Yuhuan eat lychees, the more beautiful Yang Yuhuan is, the more beautiful Yang Yuhuan is, the more he naturally loves to pet, and if Yang Yuhuan eats lychees for 16 years, he will spoil her for 16 years.
Of course, this kind of pampering based on beauty is not strong.
Earlier, Li Longji had snatched her from his son's hands, and his name was not justified, and he wronged Yang Yuhuan for 8 years before giving her a name.
And Li Long is basically untenable in the secular sense, so that his favor has become Yang Yuhuan's guilt, which has made her constantly criticized.
In 755 AD, as an emperor, he was so dazed and useless that he was held hostage by others and forced to kill his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan, and even the corpse could not be left.
Since then, the lychee in Lingnan has lost a person who loves it the most, the rippling Huaqing Pond, and there is no more murmuring water and laughter.
