After being brutally tortured for five days, Li Daoxuan saw that Xia Yu was really tired, so he finally showed kindness and gave him a day off.
Practicing martial arts also requires a balance between work and rest, otherwise, everyone may become useless through practice.
Xia Yu felt like she was being amnesty. She exerted too much energy and slept until about three o'clock in the morning. Then she leisurely got up and washed herself.
"Zhang Yu, is there any breakfast?"
There are no small stoves in the military camp. There are fixed times for cooking in the kitchens. If you miss it, you will be hungry.
"Yes, I brought it to you, but it's cold."
Zhang Yu was still very careful in his work, and Xia Yu was very satisfied.
"It's okay, bring it. It's summer now, and it feels refreshing when it's cold."
"promise."
Xia Yu was eating breakfast. Suddenly, the door of the tent became dark and someone came in. When he looked up, it was Zhang Anan, the chief steward.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang. What a rare visitor. But is His Highness summoning you?" Xia Yu hurriedly greeted him.
Zhang Ananda smiled brightly: "You just became a military advisor? This little prince really doesn't know how to care for people. Yes, His Highness has something to do with you."
"Wait a minute, I'll go as soon as I finish eating."
Xia Yu also expected to have a day off, but she didn't expect the boss to come right away. Throughout the ages, the boss really hated seeing his employees take a rest.
Zhou Bapi, no, Li Bapi!
After a while, Xia Yu came to the commander's tent. As soon as he entered, Li Shimin called with a smile: "The military advisor is here, congratulations."
Huh? Xia Yu looked confused: He was a time traveler and had no relatives in the Tang Dynasty. How could he be happy?
I will never enjoy being a father.
"Military advisor, my father has already approved your petition. Your application for official positions has been approved by my father and has been approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Li Shimin explained with a smile.
"So fast!?" Xia Yu was surprised. It only took a week, and the camp was hundreds of miles away from Chang'an.
This is really incredibly efficient!
Li Shimin looked proud: "It's rare to have a great military advisor. Of course, my father will do special things."
Xia Yu nodded secretly.
As expected of the founder of the country, Li Yuan was still able to handle important matters clearly. His appointment in the court would certainly not be smooth sailing.
However, Li Yuan did it and it was extremely efficient.
This is the talent of an emperor.
Xia Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. If the court did not agree, he, the military advisor, would be in trouble.
Li Shimin pointed to the desk again: "These are the military advisor's official uniform and seal, please keep them."
Only then did Xia Yu notice that there were three official seal boxes on the table, as well as vermilion official uniforms, gold belts, and silver fish charms.
Xia Yu was overjoyed: Now, I am also a well-established person who eats royal food.
In the past, he looked down on those official fans, but now, Xia Yu said: What official fans? I just want to contribute to the Tang Dynasty.
Yes, that’s it, what a pure and great ideal this is!
This guy hurriedly called Zhang Yu in, put away his things, and was about to leave, when Li Shimin waved to the corner of the tent: "Come here."
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that there were two young civil servants standing in the corner of the tent.
"I have met Your Highness."
"I've seen the military advisor."
The two of them walked forward quickly and paid homage respectfully.
"This is?" Xia Yu was a little confused.
"Now that the position of military advisor has been confirmed, there are official matters that need to be handled. Although there are not many matters at the moment, you are too busy alone."
"These two are the assistant officers I personally selected for you. Please get to know them."
Xia Yu suddenly realized that Comrade Li Er was really considerate and thoughtful.
"This is Pei Xuan and Pei Ziji, currently serving as military advisor and counselor, and the right prime minister of Daxingtai on the East Road." Li Shimin pointed at a person and said.
"Pei Xuan has met the military advisor." This man is in his twenties, has handsome appearance, and looks like a romantic and talented man.
"Pei Xuan?" Xia Yu pondered for a moment: "Pei family from Hedong?"
"Exactly."
Xia Yu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
The Pei family in Hedong was a famous family in ancient times. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, it had produced 17 prime ministers and was known as a family of prime ministers.
"This is Du Qiu and Du Xingmin, who holds the same position as Pei Xuan."
"Du Qiu has met the military advisor." This man is very strong, has the air of a warrior, and has bright eyes, which makes him look quite shrewd.
Xia Yu was stunned again: "Lantian Du family?"
"Exactly."
Good guy, another aristocratic family, the Lantian Du family was also very prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, known as "Wei Du in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu"!
"Then Du Yan and Du Ruhui are you——"
"The former is Xiaguan's father, and the latter is Xiaguan's brother."
Are they all on their own? Xia Yu winked at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin understood and nodded slightly.
Xia Yu felt like a spring breeze in an instant: "Yu is truly lucky to be supported by two talented people. I will have to work hard for you two in the future."
"The military advisor is so polite, I don't deserve it." These two men did not have the domineering arrogance of aristocratic family members, but were very humble and courteous.
"You two will settle down first. The tents and public tents have been pulled out."
"The military advisor has been busy practicing martial arts recently. You two can handle some small matters by yourself. But if there are major issues, you should report to the military advisor in time."
Li Shimin was careful and arranged everything one by one.
"promise."
After sending Pei Xuan and Du Qiu away, Xia Yu looked at their young backs and was a little confused: "Your Highness, why are they all from aristocratic families?"
It would be extremely dangerous if the court was filled with children from aristocratic families!
The power of the country will inevitably fall by the wayside.
He believed that a wise person like Li Shimin would not fail to understand this.
"Alas!" Li Shimin sighed slightly and said helplessly: "The military advisor is worried, and Gu Ye knows it, but there is really a shortage of people now."
"When the Tang Dynasty raises its troops, it depends on the help of aristocratic families. The foundation is not stable now, but it is not easy to fall out."
"These two are still considered temporary talents. Let's put them to use first."
Xia Yu nodded, he understood Li Shimin's difficulties very well.
Nowadays, aristocratic families fill every aspect of society, like a giant spider spinning its web all over the world, and you can't escape at all.
It is necessary for the imperial power to suppress powerful families, but not now.
"Also, the military advisor's contribution to the sand table will be completed soon." Li Shimin smiled again and said, "I guess I will get at least a title."
Ennobled!? Xia Yu was so happy that she almost flew into the air.
Returning to the camp, Xia Yu couldn't hold it any longer: "Zhang Yu, hurry up and help me change my clothes. I want to try out what it's like to wear official uniforms."
The official fan’s face is undoubtedly exposed!
"Hey." Zhang Yu was also very happy. The head of the family had become famous and prosperous, but he was not as prosperous either.
He quickly changed into a vermilion brocade official uniform, with a lifelike cloud goose on his chest and back, adding a bit of elegance.
The clothes are very close-fitting, even in summer, it is a bit hot.
Then put on the gold belt and buckle the silver fish bag, and a hot and noble official was born.
"Quick, quick, mirror!" Xia Yu couldn't wait.
Zhang Yu quickly took the bronze mirror.
Xia Yu looked left and right, up and down. Unfortunately, the bronze mirror was too small and the whole body could not be seen at all. It was inevitable that there were some flaws.
But overall, he is still very majestic and official.
It's just an ancient official uniform, paired with short hair, which seems a bit out of place. Of course, any minor blemishes can be ignored.
"It would be perfect if there was a full-length mirror." Xia Yu sighed, feeling a little regretful.
He has two major hobbies: he must look in the mirror in the morning to make sure he is handsome enough, and he must take a shower at night to make sure he is handsome enough.
A life that is not handsome is not perfect.
"Military advisor," Zhang Yu said in shock upon hearing this: "A full-length mirror is very valuable. It requires hundreds of kilograms of copper and is worth hundreds of guan. Ordinary people can't afford it even if they save their whole life."
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that there was no glass realm in ancient times, only bronze mirrors.
And what is copper? It is money!
A wall made entirely of copper is enough to bankrupt a middle-class family. Even for a wealthy family, it is a luxury item!
"It's okay. After the war is over and we return to Chang'an, let's buy some."
It only costs a few hundred yuan, so he can afford it, and a dignified time traveler cannot worry about money.
"Okay, let's prepare the horses."
Zhang Yu was stunned: "Military advisor, aren't you going to rest today?"
"That's long-winded." Xia Yu said with a straight face: "As an official of the imperial court, how can I be slacking off? Hurry up and prepare your horses. Let's go to patrol the camp."
Former military camp.
Xia Yu was wearing a brand-new official robe and riding a Tengshuangbai horse, looking very ostentatious through the city.
Over the past few days, many people had gotten to know this red-hot military advisor, and greeted him respectfully when they met him.
Who dares to neglect the third-in-command in the army?
Zhang Yu also came to his senses at this time, what he was doing on patrol was clearly a show off of angry horses in bright clothes, and he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Our head of the house is a little bit in love!
However, seeing everyone's respectful eyes and listening to the compliments, Zhang Yu couldn't help but puff out her chest and belly, feeling very honored.
Xia Yu was walking down the street when she met Luo Shixin who was patrolling the camp.
"General Luo, where is the patrol camp?" Xia Yu shouted enthusiastically.
Luo Shixin hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the military advisor. Yes, I have nothing to do, so I took a look around to avoid anything wrong."
"Well, why is the military advisor here? But there is something wrong with General Xunmo?"
"No. No. I'm also patrolling the camp, wandering around." Xia Yu smiled and waved goodbye: "Well, see you later."
Xia Yu left, but the tall and tall Luo Shixin was a little messy in the wind.
Patrol?
Civilian patrol?
Why does it sound so awkward?
Luo Shixin scratched his head in confusion. Although military advisors are said to have the responsibility of supervising military affairs, isn't patrolling camps generally the responsibility of generals?
Poor Xia Yu, all her flirtatious looks were thrown at the blind man.
Luo Shixin doesn't understand the happiness of a middle school boy.
