Outside the gate of the right silver platform, in the camp of the right Yulin army, Liu Yizheng was talking with Li Duozuo, the general of the right Yulin army.

I don't know what the reason is, since I met Li Duozuo, Liu Yi has a good relationship with the leader of the Evil Tale from the northeast, and now after getting acquainted with it, I actually have a sense of confidant, although the age difference between the two is a little, but Li Duozuo's bold surname still makes Liu Yi like it.

"General Liu, I haven't fought with Pei Shangshu for many years, and I really miss the time when I fought with him in the past!" Li Duozuo looked a little emotional after saying something.

Liu Yi also chatted with Li Duozuo for a long time, only then did he know that Li Duozuo, the general of the Yulin Army, had followed Pei Xingjian on the expedition before, and served as a general under Pei Xingjian. It is a pity that Pei Xingjian, who was higher in rank than Li Duozuo back then, had the same official rank as Li Duozuo.

"The last general has also heard many times about the general's bravery in battle, and he deeply admires it, and now there are not many good generals in my Tang Dynasty, and the general should be one of them!" Liu Yi said polite words, Li Duozuo's deeds Pei Xingjian did not tell him, he didn't even understand that Li Duozuo participated in those battles, now the DPRK and China do not talk much about this attached general, no one else told Liu Yi about Li Duozuo's glorious deeds, plus Li Duozuo is low-key, never in front of the face of his military exploits, many people have forgotten the military exploits of the Hu people who guarded the north gate of the imperial city and served as the general of the Yulin Army.

"Where, where!" Li Duozuo shook his head with a smile, "Compared with General Liu's military exploits, the merits of this general are really insignificant, not worth mentioning!" Hehe, didn't you see that the sergeants in the Yulin Army now all respect you like a god, and only obey orders, which is completely different from the situation when General Liu Renjing was in the previous time!"

The sergeants in the Tang army attach great importance to military merits, and they are very admirable to those generals who have made military achievements, such as Pei Xingjian and Liu Renliang, who can fight well, have a very high prestige in the army, if these generals with high prestige go to lead the army, their ability to call on their subordinates is not bad, Li Duozuo also sighed that Liu Yi has only been stationed in the Yulin Army for so long, and his subordinates have never dared to have anything against him, this young man in front of him is really not an ordinary person, no wonder he can get the favor of the emperor and the queen, Get reused.

"Alas, the general is modest! The last general is young, he acts rashly, and several battles are just a fluke, coupled with Pei Shangshu's guidance, he has made great achievements, and he really doesn't dare to be a general so praised..."Liu Yi hurriedly made a modest appearance!

"Report—" As the two were talking, a lieutenant shouted outside the door.

"Come in," Li Duozuo shouted.

"Report to General Li, General Liu, the time for the changing of the guard is coming soon..."

"General, the last general has gone to check the post and change the guard!" Liu Yi glanced at the hourglass in the room and knew that his time for handover was approaching.

"Oh! I almost forgot the time when I said something," Li Duozuo shook his head with a smile and said to Liu Yi, "General Liu, then let's talk another day!"

"Yes, General!" Liu Yi saluted, left the camp, and took some of his generals to patrol the Xuanwu Gate area, and then prepared to hand over the affairs with Qi Biming, who came to take over the post, and then he could go back to his home-

"General Liu, the queen of heaven is invited!" Liu Yi, who had just handed over the affairs on duty with Qi Ming, was about to leave the palace and return home, but after leaving the Yulin Army camp, he was immediately stopped by a eunuch.

Liu Yi was slightly surprised, and immediately came back to his senses, and said to the eunuch who came to summon him: "Please let my father-in-law lead the way!"

Liu Yi followed the eunuch to the Xianju Hall where Wu Zetian lived, and after the eunuch went in to report, he came out immediately, followed by Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er walked up to Liu Yi and saluted: "General Liu, please come in with Xiaguan!"

It was already approaching evening, and Liu Yi wanted to find out what Wu Zetian had come for at this time, so when he followed Shangguan Wan'er inside, he asked quietly: "Wan'er, what did the Queen of Heaven send me for?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er slowed down her walking pace and said softly, "It should be something I told you..."

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er say this, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't ask anything more, that is, he followed Shangguan Wan'er into the palace.

After Liu Yi saluted, Wu Zetian motioned for Shangguan Wan'er to step down.

"Yi'an, how is Taiping's health these days?" Wu Zetian stood up, walked to Liu Yi's side and asked.

"Hui Niangniang, the princess's health is not bad, she can eat and sleep, and her spirit is also good!" Liu Yi thought of the smug appearance of the demon girl in the house, and wanted to laugh, alas, this woman is pregnant, and she really thinks that she is the most capable and happiest person in the world, Liu Yi can't stand Princess Taiping's coquettish appearance in front of her, this demon girl, almost didn't let herself hug and coax her all day long.

"Taiping just got married, and she was pregnant, which really surprised His Majesty and the palace," Wu Zetian said with a smile, "The palace wants Taiping to live in the palace for a period of time, and the imperial doctor in the palace can pay attention to her physical condition at any time, so as to save any accidents, and also give the emperor and the palace the opportunity to talk to Taiping more, what do you think?" ”

"Thank you for your care, as long as the princess is willing, the minister has no opinion!" Having said that, Liu Yi was a little disappointed, Princess Taiping came to the palace, and he couldn't live in the palace with her, and there was no one to talk to when he returned home, and it was a little boring, but Wu Zetian said this, he definitely couldn't object.

"Well, the palace will send someone to bring Taiping into the palace!" Wu Zetian said and walked back to his seat.

Liu Yi didn't know what Wu Zetian was going to say to him, and he didn't want to ask, so he had to wait, and after Wu Zetian sat down, he asked again: "Yi'an, in your opinion, what are the capable ministers in the court now?" ”

"This..."Wu Zetian just finished talking about Princess Taiping and asked like this, Liu Yi was still a little surprised, and said immediately, "Niangniang, the minister is still young, he doesn't have much interaction with the ministers, and he has no experience in court affairs, so he really doesn't dare to evaluate the ministers of the court!"

"If you want to say it, you can say it!" Wu Zetian said expressionlessly, "The generals you recommended in the past have all performed very well, and this palace believes in your ability to recognize people!"

Hearing Wu Zetian say this, although Liu Yi was a little shocked, he quickly explained, "Niangniang, those generals in the army once followed the ministers to fight together, and the ministers have seen their performance in the battle, and they usually have more contact with them and know more about them, so I dare to recommend them!"

"You have been on duty in the palace for several years, and you have seen the performance of the ministers at the court meeting, and you should not be very unfamiliar with these ministers, so let's talk to the palace today about how many people you think can do things for my Datang loyally and have good ability!" Wu Zetian still said in a light tone, but the word loyalty was a little heavy.

During the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Yi had heard Shangguan Wan'er say something, and now he heard Wu Zetian say this, of course, he understood the intention of Wu Zetian's words, and he no longer shirked at the moment, and immediately said: "Since Niangniang said so, the minister will also discuss one or two in vain, there is a wrong place, please don't blame Niangniang..."

"But it doesn't hurt to speak!" Wu Zetian waved his hand.

"The minister thinks that Wei Shilang has been in charge of the ministry for many years, and the officials selected are all capable people, and his views on political affairs are very unique, and he is a minister who is very respected by the minister; There is also Wei Yuanzhong, a member of the Zhongshu House, although his official position is not high, but his previous strategy to deal with Tubo and other Hu people, as well as his unique views on court affairs later, all make the ministers very admired!" Liu Yi paused as he spoke, looked at Wu Zetian and saw that there was no reaction, and then continued with confidence: "Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of War, his ability is even more admired by the ministers... There is also Di Renjie in the Ministry of Works, whose ability to review cases is very outstanding, and his surname is very upright, he is really worthy of a big responsibility, Dali Temple Cheng Luo Bin Wang, upright, if he can preside over the trial with Di Renjie, the minister feels that it must be a perfect combination..."

"Oh!?" Wu Zetian was noncommittal when he heard this, and his tone didn't even change, "Is there anything else?" ”

"There are also two generals, Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi, both of whom are loyal and brave generals, and they are really worthy of a great task!" Liu Yi felt a little open-minded when he spoke.

"None?" Wu Zetian still asked unhurriedly.

Liu Yi shook his head, "The other ministers don't know much about them, so they really don't dare to find any opinions!"

"Your mentor Pei Shangshu, why don't you say it?!"

"The teacher Pei Shangshu is now seriously ill, and the minister... I don't dare to talk about anything about his old man..."Liu Yi replied honestly.

Wu Zetian nodded, "I see!"

Wu Zetian's tone of voice still didn't change, which made Liu Yi feel a little frightened!

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince came to visit you a few years ago, but is this the case?" When Wu Zetian said this, his tone changed slightly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought a lot of gifts to visit the princess, saying that the ceremony was lighter at the wedding, and he made up for it, and he also talked about some things with the minister!" Liu Yi's tone and expression did not show any panic.

"What did you talk about?"

"I asked the ministers about some government matters, but the ministers didn't dare to discuss it, and His Royal Highness didn't ask anything more!" Liu Yi also kept calm and waited for Wu Zetian's continued inquiry.

To Liu Yi's surprise, Wu Zetian didn't ask again, and waved his hand: "The palace knows, you go first!"

"Yes, the minister is retiring!" Liu Yi saluted and walked out of the hall.

As soon as she walked to the outer hall, Shangguan Wan'er, who was waiting, greeted her and asked in a low voice, "San Lang, what did Niangniang tell you?" ”

Liu Yi showed a smile, gestured to Wu Zetian's inquiry just now, and then shook his head to comfort Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, it's okay, I'll go first, Niangniang asked Princess Taiping to come into the palace to live for a while, I'm going to prepare..."

"Oh!?" Shangguan Wan'er listened, her eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything more, turned around and went into the hall...
