Chapter 55: I want to bring filial piety to join the army

Although they were wearing thick winter coats, the Liu Yi brothers still felt the cold when they rode fast horses to Chang'an.

Because Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian are still alive, the Qianling Tomb has not yet begun to be built, but Liangshan has been listed as a royal important place, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, but also for the convenience of the future, Liangshan and Chang'an have built a very smooth and wide official road, and there are several post stations, so that Liangshan to and from Chang'an is still more convenient.

With the help of the fast horses of the post station, the three brothers arrived in Chang'an City before evening.

Liu's family already knew that the three Liu Yi brothers would return home, and they also sent a few people to wait outside the Mingde Gate.

Liu Yi and the others abandoned the horses at the post station, replaced the horses brought by the servants, entered through the Mingde Gate, and went to their own house in Xinghuafang.

Most of the white curtains in the house have been removed, and the heavy filial piety clothes on the family members have also been replaced, which is to "remove the spirit", but the house set up by Liu Shenli Lingtang is still surrounded by white curtains, and there are people in the house guarding the spirit every day.

Because today is the end of the festival, Liu Yanjing and Liu Yanhei, who are Liu Xianli's younger brothers, are here, and Liu Yi's mother Zhang is also sitting in the front hall, discussing the future.

After the three Liu Yi brothers entered the mansion, they also talked to several elders about the construction and maintenance of Liu Xianli's tomb.

Liu Mai and Liu Yuan have both resigned from their official positions and will be filial piety to their father for three years.

After the family gathered around to talk about his father's aftermath, he was about to disperse, Liu Yi said to several elders in a special tone: "Mother, two uncles, eldest brother, second brother, Yi has something to say!"

Zhang had stopped his tears, and was about to go back to the house with the support of a maid, when he heard Liu Yi say this, he was very surprised and asked, "San Lang, what's the matter with you?" ”

Liu Yanjing and Liu Yansi were also a little surprised, what Liu Yi did during this time surprised them too much, not only won the honor of "Wu Zhuangyuan", but also shouted grievances in the palace, and finally made Liu Xianli's grievances clear, if Liu Yi did not do these things in Chang'an, the result would be really unpredictable.

Liu Mai and Liu Yuan were also impressed by their little brother, and when they heard Liu Yi say this, they also looked at Liu Yi curiously, not knowing what Liu Yi was going to announce again.

Seeing that the elders and the two elder brothers were all looking at him, Liu Yi's expression was calm, and he said in a very firm tone: "Mother, uncle, two elder brothers, my father died on the battlefield, as a son, this revenge must be avenged, otherwise it will be in vain for the children of the Liu family..."

Liu Yi's words were like a thunderclap, which blew up the family, and Liu Yanjing, who felt bad in his heart, said very eagerly: "San Lang, you can't mess around..."

When Liu Yi said in the mansion, the main cause of his father's death was Li Jingxuan's cowardice, and the other was the result of Liu Renliang's personal vendetta and the election of Li Jingxuan, who was ignorant of military affairs, to lead the troops. Liu Yanjing still clearly remembers that Liu Yi's eyes were terrible at that time, and he heard that when Liu Renliang came to visit the mansion, he was also questioned by Liu Yi, and then thought of Liu Yi's unusual skills, which instinctively made Liu Yanjing think that Liu Yi was looking for them to take revenge.

Liu Yansi, Liu Mai, Liu Yuan and others didn't know why, and looked at this younger brother with an unusual expression a little blankly.

Liu Yanjing walked to Liu Yi's side, "San Lang, both of them are important ministers of the court, although Li Zhongshu's order has been demoted, it may still be reused, how can you..."

Hearing Liu Yanjing say this, the tears that Zhang had just collected flowed down again, and he looked at his sons with a sad look, not knowing what to say.

"Uncle, nephew didn't mean that!" Seeing that Liu Yanjing misunderstood him, Liu Yi hurriedly explained, "My father was killed in battle with the Tubo people, and my nephew wants to kill all the Tubo people to avenge my father......"

Without waiting for everyone to react, Liu Yi continued: "So, I want to take filial piety to join the army, and one day later, I will lead the troops to the expedition and kill all the Tubo people who killed my father..."

Hearing Liu Yi's words, the family members continued to be dumbfounded, and the Zhang family was already crying! Her husband died when she went on the expedition, but she didn't expect her favorite son to want to join the army again, which made her anxious and angry.

Liu Yanjing breathed a sigh of relief, but asked very puzzled, "San Lang, how can you join the army now that you are filial piety?" Your two elder brothers have already gone to the official to come back to keep filial piety..."

Liu Yanjing said this, Liu Mai and Liu Yuan both nodded in unison, Liu Yuan also looked at Liu Yi with annoyed eyes, and blamed Liu Yi for not being filial.

Today's era pays the most attention to filial piety, if the direct elders of the family die, and the younger generations do not go back to keep filial piety, it will be infamy, will be despised by the world, and the name will be over, unless it is a particularly important person, who is used by the emperor to "win love", so that he will not be blamed.

But Liu Yi is just a small citizen without official or position, how can there be a "love-grabbing" recovery?

"Uncle, mother, eldest brother, second brother! Yi has never forgotten to keep filial piety for his father," Liu Yi looked at the family members in the house, and said in a very calm tone, "However, now that the Tubo people continue to occupy the Qinghai of my Tang Dynasty, our army is tired, and it is really difficult to defeat the Tubo people than the whole day... Where do you want to avenge your father? …”

"I think that if I can avenge my father, it is the greatest filial piety... Thinking that the murderer who killed his father is still showing off his power in Qinghai, Yi feels very sorry for his father's spirit in the sky, the hatred of the country and the family are all in one, Yikong has a body of martial arts, but there is nowhere to show it, if he can only stay in the house and have nothing to do, it will be ashamed to death, not to mention that in a few years, how things will change we can't predict, that is, my father's spirit in the sky has been disappointed!" Liu Yi didn't wait for everyone to reply, and continued, "If you can join the army now and accumulate military merits, one day you will be able to lead the army to kill the enemy and avenge your father!" Now that I have achieved the first place in martial arts, it is with this that I can enter the army..."

Liu Yi also told the emperor and empress about the summoning of him, and then continued: "When Yuyi made this request to the emperor and empress in Daming Palace, they did not refuse!"

Zhang sobbed until Liu Yi was beside him, "San Lang, you are still young, to avenge your father, it is also your two elder brothers to do, how can you do it..."

"Mother, going into battle to kill the enemy, it's not about age, the eldest brother, the second brother's martial arts are not as good as me, when it is said that in the martial arts competition, I won the first place, of course, I have to enlist in the army!" Liu Yi said a little arrogantly.

"Sister-in-law, I think San Lang is reasonable, take filial piety to join the army, avenge your father to fulfill filial piety, there were also in ancient times, since the emperor and the queen did not refuse, it is not impossible!" Liu Yanjing's brows have been soothed.

As the eldest brother, Liu Mai seemed to understand after listening to Liu Yi's words, "San Lang's skills are far better than the two of us as elder brothers, and he is very clever in doing things, I also think that I should take advantage of such a time when the imperial court recruits samurai, and enter the army as the leader of the martial arts, and strive to avenge my father as soon as possible, presumably my father will know about it in the spirit of heaven and will also agree..."

"It's... How can it, just in case..."Zhang was full of sad tears, but he didn't know what to say...
