The reason why Yang Guifei likes litchi is mainly because she is from Chengdu, Sichuan.

First, Yang Guifei liked to eat litchi when she was young.

Yang Guifei has lived in Chengdu, Sichuan since she was a child, and Chengdu, Sichuan is rich in litchi, so Yang Guifei likes to eat this kind of fruit since she was a child. Even in Beijing, Yang Guifei often misses one.

However, in ancient times, due to inconvenient transportation, it was very troublesome to transport, so Yang Guifei never ate litchi again after she arrived in Beijing.

Secondly, Tang Minghuang specially transported litchi from Chengdu to Beijing.

After Yang Guifei married Li Longji, Li Longji especially doted on her. What Yang wants, Li Longji will try to satisfy it.

On one occasion, when Yang Guifei was chatting with Li Longji, she said that she liked litchi very much. But because of the long journey, I have never eaten this kind of food since I came out of my hometown.

Li Longji, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, took a lot of thought after hearing this sentence. He also specially asked Gao Lishi, the eunuch around him, to ask Gao Lishi to make suggestions for himself.

Later, Gao Lishi came up with a good idea, that is, he sent 6 Li as an express, so that the soldiers could change horses at each post station, and then the litchi could be delivered to Beijing as quickly as possible.

When Li Longji heard about this idea, he felt very good, so he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transport litchi from Chengdu, Sichuan to Beijing.

third, what is my opinion?

Although Yang Guifei was very happy after eating litchi, it was also criticized by later generations. Everyone thinks that Tang Xuanzong's love for Yang Guifei is a bit too much.

But I don't think there is much fault in this matter, because as an emperor, he wants his beloved woman to eat his favorite fruit. Even wasting a little material resources is understandable.

And Yang Guifei was really happy after eating litchi. This wonderful story was spread by later generations, and everyone knew the delicious taste of litchi.
