It's the New Year in a blink of an eye.

This is the first year after Liu Yi crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, because of the promise of his mother, uncle and two elder brothers, Liu Yi was ready to take filial piety to join the army, so he also stayed in the house for the New Year.

Liu Yi made up his mind and got the consent of his family, he also went to Pei Xingjian's house to ask for a look, although Pei Xingjian did not have a clear agreement, but Liu Yi felt that Pei Xingjian had been moved by his own words, and he should recommend himself in front of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, but Liu Yi also knew that the time was approaching the end of the year, and everything in the court and China was complicated, even if Pei Xingjian was willing to recommend himself to the court, it was impossible to have results so quickly.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Yi's two brothers also returned home together, and the family celebrated the New Year together.

It's just that because of the new funeral of his father Liu Zhenli, the house is still a sad scene, and there is no trace of the atmosphere of liking, which makes people feel very depressed.

In the middle of the night, hearing the sound of firecrackers in Chang'an City, Liu Yi felt very sad, facing the mother who was smiling and smiling, as well as the two sisters-in-law with the same expression, Liu Yi vowed to earn more glory for this family.

――――

At the court meeting at the end of the previous year, Emperor Li Zhi announced that the next year would be changed to Tiaolu, and after the New Year's court meeting, the official name of Tiaolu was the first year of Tiaolu.

Because of the defeat of Qinghai in the previous year, our Tang army suffered heavy losses, Liu Xianli, an important minister in the court, was captured and died of illness, and the imperial court did not hold celebrations during the New Year in order to mourn the dead and wounded tens of thousands of soldiers, and even the lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival was canceled, which also made Chang'an City a lot less lively.

Liu Yi's two elder brothers still went to their father's cemetery at the foot of Liangshan Mountain to guard their father's grave, and Liu Yi stayed in the house.

Before Liu Mai left, he called Liu Yi to the house, gave careful instructions, and also asked Liu Yi to strive for the opportunity, get the permission of the imperial court, take filial piety into the army, and avenge his father earlier, so as to fulfill the greatest filial piety of their sons.

Liu Yi also planned that if there was no news, he wanted to visit Pei Xingjian again and ask about the situation.

Liu Yi didn't wait for Pei Xingjian's news, but he was summoned to the palace again after the Shangyuan Festival.

The palace man who came to Liu's mansion asked Liu Yi to follow him into the palace immediately, and Liu Yi, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, did not delay, but also immediately changed his clothes and followed the visitor into the palace.

Liu Yi pondered all the way, what was the purpose of summoning himself into the palace this time? Could it be that Pei Xingjian recommended himself in front of the emperor, and the emperor summoned him to the palace, ready to give him an official position and reuse himself? Thinking of this, Liu Yi felt a little abrupt in his heart.

This time it was from the Jianfu Gate on the west side into the Daming Palace, crossed the Xiama Bridge, passed through the Guangfan Gate, Zhaoqing Gate, went around a lot of places, and then passed through the Guangshun Gate, passed by a very tall hall side, Liu Yi did not see what the palace was, but saw a corner of the Xuanzheng Hall on the right side of this hall.

According to Liu Yi's estimate, after entering the palace, he walked for nearly half an hour, and the eunuchs who led the way also changed several times, and finally the last person to lead the way took him to a slightly smaller palace, and the eunuchs guarding outside the palace went in to report. Liu Yi stood outside the hall and waited, looking up at the plaque hanging high boredly, but the name of the hall made him stunned, "Jinluan Palace", Liu Yi remembered that the main hall in the palace was called the Jinluan Palace, which was the Hanyuan Hall in front of it, why did there be a "Jinluan Palace" here? Isn't the current "Jinluan Palace" the name of a palace?

Liu Yi thought mischievously, the eunuch who went in to report had already walked out and motioned for Liu Yi to go in.

Liu Yi dressed up, went up the steps, and stepped into the hall.

Compared to the cold outside the temple, the inside of the hall with a stove is very warm, and there is a feeling of heat wave blowing on the face. After passing through several curtains and coming to the main hall of the hall, Liu Yi saw the person who called him today.

Today, only Wu Zetian was sitting on the top couch, and Li Zhi was not there, which made Liu Yi very surprised. What surprised Liu Yi even more was that there was a palace maid wearing a winged hat and a green coat standing on the edge of Wu Zetian, it was the palace maid who was very special to look at when he saw the martial arts competition, Liu Yi was a little surprised, although this palace maid only looked at it from a distance, but it left a deep impression on him.

The palace maid also looked at Liu Yi, who was dressed in white and had a filial piety belt tied on his head, and her eyes were still as different, which made Liu Yi look at it unconsciously.

It's just that although there are distracting thoughts in his heart, Liu Yi didn't dare to be rude, lowered his eyes, and stepped forward to give a big salute to Wu Zetian, "The grass people knock on the queen of heaven..."

Liu Yi is now thinking about it, what is Wu Zetian summoning him alone today? It's definitely not going to be a whim and call yourself for comfort... Could it be that Liu Yi had an idea in his heart, but he was immediately denied by himself, and now that Li Zhi is still alive, Wu Zetian still dare not do anything ridiculous.

"Nephew of the Liu family, let's be even..."Wu Zetian's gentle voice came.

"Xie Niangniang!" Liu Yi also straightened up as he said, looking at the steps in front of Wu Zetian, waiting for Wu Zetian's inquiry.

"Liu Gong was martyred, tens of thousands of soldiers were martyred, and they were very saddened, and the New Year's celebrations, as well as the lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival, were canceled together, that is, to mourn the martyrs!" Wu Zetian, who was sitting upright, showed a little sadness on his face and said in a low tone.

Wu Zetian even changed his self-profess.

"The glory that Niangniang gave to my father, the grass people are grateful, presumably these martyred soldiers know the thoughts of the emperor and Niangniang, and they will also smile at Jiuquan!" Liu Yi raised his lowered head and said earnestly, "Niangniang, the grass people want to take filial piety to join the army, avenge their father, and wash their shame for the country, and please ask Niangniang for permission!" ”

Now that Wu Zetian has given himself such a great opportunity, he can ask this powerful queen to achieve his goal.

Hearing Liu Yi say this, Wu Zetian praised his head: "Last time you were in front of the emperor and Yu, you tried to serve the country with filial piety, avenge your father, and be ashamed of the country. ”

"The grass people have a body of martial arts, if they can't be loyal to the country and avenge their father, they will regret it for the rest of their lives, and their father's spirit in the sky will not forgive the grass people..."

"A few days ago, Shangshu Liu Servant, Pei Shilang and Wei Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, all recommended you to the emperor and Yu, saying that you have the talent to be a general, and you will definitely be a fierce general of my Tang Dynasty, and the emperor said that he also saw your skills in the martial arts competition, which is indeed good," Wu Zetian's voice did not change, and still said gently, "Pei Shilang also said, if you can be trained well, you will enter the army early, and my Datang will produce another brave general..."

Hearing Wu Zetian say this, Liu Yi was overjoyed, Pei Xingjian, the old fox, really recommended himself in front of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and now I heard Wu Zetian say this, it was really a show...
