Chapter 60 - Conferring Affection
After Liu Yi returned to the palace, he roughly told his mother Zhang who was waiting for him to enter the palace, but he only briefly talked about the meaning of Empress Wu Zetian, and it was possible that he would be allowed to bring filial piety to join the army in order to fulfill his loyalty and filial piety.
Although the Zhang family was very reluctant and did not want Liu Yi to enlist in the army, but the words that this precious son said in the house a few years ago were to be loyal to the country and avenge his father, so as to fulfill his filial piety, so that she could not refute it, and she had to acquiesce to Liu Yi's move.
There were faint tears in Zhang's eyes, but he couldn't bear to let it fall, "San Lang, you are only eighteen years old after the New Year, and you are going to join the army before you perform the crown salute, how can you rest assured..."
"Mother, it's okay, the children can take care of themselves in everything, they must have joined the army, and they can often come back to the house!" Liu Yi squeezed out a smile and comforted his mother.
"Alas! If you join the army and can get the care of some of your father's old subordinates or colleagues, it would be good..."What Zhang hopes most is to get the care of Pei Xingjian, who has a very good influence in the DPRK and the army, so that he can save a lot of worry. She didn't know that Liu Yi went to Pei Xingjian to recommend him in private, but she only knew that this young son who kept filial piety in the mansion often went out of the mansion some time ago and didn't know what to do.
"Mother, the child wants to do things on his own!" Liu Yi said a little arrogantly, since Emperor Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian both took special care of themselves, then he was confident that with his own ability, he could make a name for himself in the army. In the end, the future self has more than a thousand years of knowledge than the current people, and he roughly knows the direction of history, and the self who was an agent in the later generations has received many years of training that can be said to be extraordinary, whether it is skills or willpower, it is different from ordinary people, plus the skills that this body retains, the performance in all aspects will not be worse than today's people.
Although it is said that it is the time of cold weapons, many weapons and equipment that will be used handily in later generations are not available, but this is not the most important thing, but the important thing is the concept of warfare, especially covert operations, which is incomprehensible to people now, which is impossible for others to have.
"How are you as stubborn as your father... Alas! Zhang sighed, "My mother only hopes that in the future, you will let your mother bear less heart!" "The two older sons have married wives and had children, and they were originally in official positions in the court, although they were removed because of filial piety, but after three years of filial piety, they should be able to recover, the key is that this youngest son, but also Zhang's most beloved son, is still young now, has not started a family, and from what he has done during this time, this kid's surname has become very stubborn, and he may suffer some hardships in the future, Zhang only hopes to let her bear some less heart.
"Mother, it's okay, you can rest for a while, the child has gone to practice martial arts!" Because of his father's funeral, Liu Yi has not practiced martial arts for a long time, and now he is allowed by his family to stay in the house to keep filial piety, and this martial arts practice cannot be abandoned.
―――――――
On the third day after Wu Zetian summoned Liu Yi into the palace, several palace people and officials of the Ministry of War came to the house, and the palace people announced the emperor's edict, because the first Ministry of Works, the general of the Left Guard, Liu Xianli, was martyred in the war with Tubo, and now the threat of Tubo is sheng, the imperial court recruits brave warriors from all over the world to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and when the country urgently needs brave warriors who can lead the troops to fight, it was decided to use Liu Xianli's youngest son Liu Yi, who won the first place in the Tang Dynasty's first martial arts competition, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War wrote, Liu Yi was awarded an official position.
In the edict in the name of the emperor, the government at all levels also ordered Liu Yi to invite himself to bring filial piety to join the army, to kill the enemy to serve the country to fulfill his filial piety for his father, and to declare the deeds of loyalty to the country to the people.
Officials of the Ministry of War also announced to Liu Yi the special appointment of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War.
In this order, which was jointly signed by the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Yi was appointed as the captain of the Left Guard, and he was ordered to take up his post after three days.
The official of the military department handed over the text to Liu Yi, as well as a set of clothes and armor, and told Liu Yi some things that needed attention, and asked Liu Yi to report to the yamen of the military department before performing his duties in the army.
The military official who gave the order also did not expect that he could confer such a high official rank on a new section of martial arts, and the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the military department had taken special care of him.
The official of the Ministry of War did not know that the Secretary of the Ministry and the Secretary of the Ministry of War had also received the will of the queen conveyed by the people in the palace, asking them to confer a high rank on the head of the martial arts of the new department.
The Shangshu of the two departments have also been instructed by the queen many times before, so there is no surprise, but they have spent a lot of brains on the issue of what position to give Liu Yi, originally they were going to give Liu Yi an official position higher than this, but they were still dissuaded by Pei Xingjian, the secretary in charge, and the sixth-rank lieutenant is already a not low official position.
Such an appointment has made Liu Yi very happy, and it is far beyond his surprise, the position of Zheng Liupin, which is several levels higher than the officials who came out of the high school jinshi in the imperial examination, and he also entered the post of Zuo Qinwei.
Liu Yi faintly felt that there must be some reason why he didn't understand the matter of awarding himself an official, it is possible that some people still have a special purpose, but this is not what he needs to consider now, these things, he will know in the future, what Liu Yi has to consider now, that is, to adapt to the life in the army as soon as possible, so that he can have the opportunity to make military achievements, be promoted as soon as possible, have a certain right to speak in the army, and Jier also has a certain influence on the court, so that many goals can be achieved.
However, with Liu Yi's thoughts, with his own ability and mind, it should not be a problem to adapt to life in the army in the shortest possible time, his father Liu Xianli was a secretary of the Ministry of Engineering and a general of the Left Guard before the expedition, and he also stayed in the Left Guard Army for a period of time, it can be said that many generals of the Left Guard Army were once his father's subordinates, Liu Yi thought that when he went, the bosses in the army where his father served may also give him special care.
Although Liu Yi is also a soldier in later generations, he has not been in the army for a few days, and he is not familiar with the establishment of the army, not to mention the completely different army establishment model of the current cold weapon era and later generations.
However, he is already in the sixth-grade official position, so he must be only higher than the military academy of the later majors, right? Liu Yi was also a little proud, it was time for him to show his skills...
