"Young master, hurry, someone from the palace is here, the decree is here!" Liu Yi was in Luoyang's house, and a personal guard hurriedly ran into the study and said urgently to Liu Yi, who was writing something inside.

"Oh!? Someone from the palace has sent a message? Liu Yi was a little surprised, and immediately put down the pen in his hand and went out.

At the same time, Liu Yi also instructed his subordinates to prepare some things.

To welcome the messenger who came to the palace to deliver the decree, it was necessary to prepare some things, such as a tip or something, which Liu Yi heard from Shangguan Wan'er whispering, saying that the relationship with those palace people in the palace who were not low status was handled, and there were unexpected effects.

But when Liu Yi welcomed him to the courtyard and saw the messenger who came to deliver the message, he immediately felt that he didn't need to prepare anything.

It was none other than Shangguan Wan'er who came to deliver the message.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little proud when she saw Liu Yi's surprised face revealed, but in front of the people who followed her and the subordinates in Liu Yi's mansion, she still held back, looked serious, and walked into the courtyard.

"The lower officials don't know that the lawsuit is Bo to pass on the will, and it is a loss to welcome the far-flung people, or forgive the lawsuit!" Liu Yi said polite words and looked at Shangguan Wan'er with an inquiring look.

Shangguan Wan'er returned the salute, "This is the envoy from the lower officials, congratulations to General Liu first, he was promoted again!" ”

Liu Yi was a little surprised, seeing Shangguan Wan'er grinning at him, he didn't ask anything more, and accompanied Shangguan Wan'er into the house.

As soon as she entered the main house, Shangguan Wan'er took up the shelf, held a holy decree, and shouted to Liu Yi: "Zuo Qianniu Zhonglang will take Liu Yi's decree!" ”

Liu Yi hurriedly saluted and listened.

"Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang will be Liu Yi's surname is kind... Caring for the community...... Today, the Jin Dynasty Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang will Liu Yi be the general of the inspection school Zuo Qianniuwei, and lead the inspection school right Yulin Army Zhonglang general..."Shangguan Wan'er read out the will with her beautiful and beautiful voice, and the front was greatly praised Liu Yi, praising Liu Yi for his loyalty to the country, and the proposal was adopted by the imperial court, and in order to reward Liu Yi's merits, he was specially promoted to his post to show his reward.

Liu Yi was a little surprised by such a sudden promotion, when Shangguan Wan'er went out of the city with herself, after returning to the city, the two stayed in the house and talked for a while, and they didn't talk about the promotion, why did they come to such a sudden decision, Liu Yi wanted to ask Shangguan Wan'er, this beauty came to pass the decree, she should know the inside story.

"Thank you for the grace of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, and I am very grateful!" Liu Yi took the holy decree and returned the salute.

The subordinates brought tea to entertain Shangguan Wan'er, the messenger from the palace, and Liu Yi hurriedly invited Shangguan Wan'er to take a seat.

With this woman who has had a very close relationship with herself, she is polite like this, talking and doing things in a formal manner, Liu Yi feels a little funny, and her look is also a little abnormal, although she pretends to be serious, her original intention has been revealed in her eyes.

"You wait outside, this official still has something to tell General Liu in person," Shangguan Wan'er said with a straight face to the followers who came with her.

"Yes!" Several palace insiders who followed Shangguan Wan'er responded in unison, and after making a salute, they withdrew from the house, and Liu Qi went to entertain these people, and several maids in Liu Yi's house, including Xiaoyun, also retreated under Liu Yi's signal and closed the door.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Shangguan Wan'er's serious face also eased, and said with a smile: "Yi'an, I didn't expect the queen of heaven to give you a promotion so soon, right?" ”

"I didn't expect it," Liu Yi nodded, motioning for Shangguan Wan'er to go with him, "Let's go to the study and talk!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er also got up immediately and followed Liu Yi into the study.

Liu Yi closed the door and walked to Shangguan Wan'er's side, "Wan'er, didn't you know this situation before this?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "Yes, I also only found out today," Shangguan Wan'er said with a somewhat solemn expression, "These words, what does the queen of heaven do, many things will not be revealed to me in advance, especially your affairs, let me draw up an edict today, I only know about your promotion, but..."

"But what?" This woman always likes to say half a sentence and whet people's appetites, but now she doesn't change this bad habit, Liu Yi has to ask.

"It seems that Niangniang and Princess Taiping have quietly discussed something together, but I haven't found out what they said specifically, and now that I think about it, it may be about your promotion!" Shangguan Wan'er looked thoughtful.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's inference, Liu Yi didn't ask any questions, but asked rhetorically: "Wan'er, why do you say that Niangniang wants to be promoted to my position now?" Not only has the position been promoted, but even the rank has been promoted to the fourth grade, and it is only one level away from the third grade, Liu Yi thought that he was only in his early twenties, and he was already in such a high position, so he felt a little uneasy to think about it.

Shangguan Wan'er put her hand in Shangguan Wan'er's palm, thought for a while, and then said, "Wan'er thinks, there are several reasons for this..."

During this period of time, when Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Yi got along, they liked to put their little hands in Liu Yi's big hands to experience the warmth and warmth.

"One of them is that those suggestions you made, the imperial court is ready to adopt most or all of them, because of the meritorious suggestions, the queen of heaven suggested that you be promoted, this is not a little excessive, if these suggestions of yours achieve good results, then the merits of my Datang are not comparable to many people, and even those generals who have led the army to fight, their achievements cannot be compared with you..."Shangguan Wan'er said and glanced at Liu Yi a few times, with a look of disbelief, "Wan'er doesn't understand now, how did you think of these things!" ”

Two years ago, Wei Yuanzhong, a student of Tai, talked about a strategy to deal with Tubo, which was appreciated by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and he was immediately awarded the position of Zhongshushe, which was an official in the stream, which was something that many people were very envious of, and no one dared to complain. Now Liu Yi's suggestion, in the eyes of Shangguan Wan'er, is much better than Wei Yuanzhong's suggestion, only promoted to one or two levels, some are too wronged Liu Yi, she is also proud of Liu Yi to think of these many points of view At the same time, she is very puzzled, this very good person, the mind is really not simple, the more she contacts Liu Yi, the more she feels that this person she loves is unfathomable, and she can't even guess it, which is also Liu Yi's further attraction to her, The reason why she became more and more curious and attached to Liu Yi.

"The last time I went on the expedition, I saw a lot of things, and I thought about it a lot, and after thinking about it a lot, I naturally thought of it, if Wan'er had the opportunity to go to Saiwai with the army once, she might think more than me," Liu Yi smiled and said, "What else?" ”

"I don't want to go with the army to Saiwai, I'm a weak woman, I don't know if I can come back, unless you accompany me to play!" Shangguan Wan'er pouted, "Also, this is the expedition that the imperial court is about to announce, you may take on an important position, and to hold an important position, you must have a certain rank, so Niangniang will be promoted to your position before the expedition, and it is only for school inspection!" ”

The two positions held by Liu Yi are both school inspectors, which are almost the meaning of agents, if they come back from this expedition and make war achievements, then the post of school inspector will immediately become a real position, which is something that ordinary people can see.

"Oh, I see!" Listening to Shangguan Wan'er say these two reasons, Liu Yi's originally vague feeling became clear, what Shangguan Wan'er said could really be the reason why Wu Zetian was in a hurry to promote himself now, one can express the reward for his suggestions, and the other is that this expedition, he may really let himself lead an army alone, or entrust him with other more important positions. What Wu Zetian did was very purposeful, in addition to these two reasons, it is likely that there are other factors in it, but they don't know it.

"San Lang, during this period of time, Your Majesty's body has deteriorated, Niang Niang is secretly doing a lot of things, and Wan'er is not very clear about many things," Shangguan Wan'er said with some concern, "Niang Niang takes a fancy to her, and the people who can be used by her are vigorously promoted, and those who are unwilling to obey her will spare no effort to fight, although the prince has been forbearant during this time, but Niang Niang has not stopped being wary of him for a moment, San Lang, I am very worried..."

"Wan'er, don't worry, I have a way, let's just do what Niangniang wants!" Liu Yi smiled and comforted, he knew Shangguan Wan'er's worries, and he also knew that although Wu Zetian was very kind to him, he still took a step of prevention, and even Shangguan Wan'er, who had affection for him, did not let her know many things. Shangguan Wan'er was worried that Wu Zetian was deliberately alienating her, which made Shangguan Wan'er, who was in awe of Wu Zetian, definitely worried, but since Wu Zetian still let Shangguan Wan'er do the edict for herself, that means that Wu Zetian still trusts and reuses Shangguan Wan'er, and Shangguan Wan'er is on Wu Zetian's side, and she will definitely know many things.

Shangguan Wan'er stared at Liu Yi's eyes, and understood the meaning from Liu Yi's eyes, and nodded vigorously, "Wan'er understands what to do!" ”

"Wan'er, some things may be wronged by you!"

"San Lang rest assured, Wan'er said that she is willing to do anything for you!" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head firmly, "It's just that in a few days, His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven will be going back to Chang'an again, and after returning to Chang'an, what will happen, Wan'er doesn't know!" ”

"So fast?" Liu Yi was a little incredulous, the royal driving team of more than 10,000 people had just arrived in Luoyang for so many days, and they were about to drive back to Chang'an, isn't this a mess?

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "The imperial court is about to form a large army to go on an expedition, and if Your Majesty and Niangniang don't return to Chang'an, they can't talk about reason and affection!" ”

"Then many people will have to suffer a lot along the way!" Liu Yi sighed slightly in his heart, he couldn't understand why Wu Zetian liked to come to Luoyang so much, wasn't it very good in Chang'an? Is it definitely more comfortable to live in Daming Palace than these palaces in Luoyang, at least he just likes Daming Palace, is it really that Wu Zetian really didn't dare to live in Daming Palace for a long time because he did too many evil things?
