The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Throughout the dynasties, the descendants of the emperors are all sons and grandsons of dragons, and they can be crowned kings and marquises at birth.They don't work on farming and woodcutters, and they are supported by their own people. Over the years, they eventually become the parasitic class of the whole society.In real history, by the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants had grown to a very large scale, until even the national treasury could not afford their salaries.Although Liu Ziqiu has no research on Ming history, he has seen similar plots in some novels and film and television dramas. Naturally, he does not want the Han Dynasty that he has worked so hard to build to repeat this mistake.

On the issue of how to arrange the princes, Liu Ziqiu had already planned.There is only one who can inherit the throne in the end, but before he abdicates, these children must find their own way out once they grow up, including Liu Sigen.Of course, the royal family has strong financial resources and can provide enough wealth for the children to give them a relatively high starting point from the beginning.As for what kind of path these children are willing to choose, it is completely in accordance with their respective interests, and they are free to choose different occupations they will pursue in the future.

Two years ago, Liu Sigen made a choice to become a doctor in the medical school.The eldest son of the emperor took the lead, and several other older children also made choices.The second son, Liu Siyun, was good at martial arts since he was a child, so he naturally joined the military camp.As for the other children, some chose to return to their mother's hometown grassland, some chose to go out to sea with the big man's ocean-going fleet, and some chose to do business and farm.Of course, these children are not yet adults, they are now only occasionally practicing in the scope of their choice, and they have not really invested in their careers.

In fact, these princes studied since they were young, and they also learned some ways of governing the country.But Liu Ziqiu set the rules, except for the one who inherits the throne who can participate in government affairs, the other princes are not allowed to be officials in the court within three generations.This is also to prevent these princes from becoming unsatisfactory after they get official positions, and in turn want to strive for greater power.But in the eyes of the vast majority of people in this world, the greatest power still lies with the emperor.

...

Time passed day by day, and the Han Dynasty was always calm, and Li Shimin, the prime minister, was also well-behaved, and there was no overstepping.But at this moment, bad news suddenly came from the northwest wilderness. Tuoba Mumi, the father of Dangxiang King and concubine Tuoba Qianyu, died suddenly of a sudden illness.

Although Tuoba Muya is over fifty years old, his body has always been strong, and no one thought that he would suffer a sudden illness.The news came very suddenly, when Tuoba Qianyu learned of his father's death, she cried like hell, and insisted on rushing back to West Sea to see her father off for the last time.For Tuoba Qianyu's request, Liu Ziqiu had no objection, and he himself decided to accompany Tuoba Qianyu on the journey.

When the news reached the cabinet, Li Shimin hurriedly brought all the great scholars to persuade him, saying: "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, how can you leave it lightly. Please wait for your Majesty to take back your order!"

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "I have been stuck in this deep palace all day long, I'm afraid my body is about to grow hair. Now, Li Mi has been crowned head, Zhang Zhongjian has not gone overseas, no one in the world is my opponent. I'm going to rule the world, so what's the matter!"

Li Shimin persuaded again: "But the country cannot be without a king for a day, I ask your majesty to think twice!"

Since ancient times, unless there was an accident, the emperor would stay in the one-third of an acre of land in the palace.This can be seen in the difference between Chinese chess and chess.In Chinese chess, generals and commanders are limited to a few grids, but the king in chess can move around.Liu Ziqiu naturally didn't want to be a general and commander in Chinese chess, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "I have established the rules long ago. When I am not around these days, Gen Er will perform my duties. How can there be no king in the country?"

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Isn't the first prince already hanging the pot to help the world in the medical school?"

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "Doctor is only his profession, but he is still the first in line heir. As long as I am not around, he can act on my behalf. There is no contradiction between the two."

Only then did Li Shimin suddenly realize, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.It wasn't until this moment that he understood Liu Ziqiu's intention of not establishing a crown prince, but setting up a large number of heirs in order of succession.If a prince is established, once the prince has an accident, other princes will inevitably suspect and fight each other in order to compete for the crown prince.But now it is different, if something happens to the heir of the first order, naturally only the heir of the second order can take over. By analogy, it is impossible for brothers to fight each other.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a certain successor at the back is greedy for profit and makes a move to murder the previous successor.However, today's imperial power has been greatly weakened, and no one is willing to take such a big risk to compete for a tasteless position.

In fact, when Wei Zheng, Zhao Ling and others were prime ministers, they still adhered to the practice of asking Liu Ziqiu for instructions in everything, and the imperial power still played an important role.Since Li Shimin, a group of young academicians, has presided over the cabinet, many things have been decided by the cabinet itself.Doing so was originally Liu Ziqiu's own request, and it would not cause any trouble.Moreover, the two-level congress represented the nobles and commoners to participate in and discuss state affairs, and some new ideas began to be accepted by the common people.Therefore, the symbolic significance of the emperor is greater than the actual significance in people's minds.Of course, as the founding king of the country, Liu Ziqiu still has no one to replace him in people's minds.

Now that Liu Ziqiu had already reached this point, Li Shimin and the others were inconvenient to persuade them, and they all resigned in unison.However, the emperor's trip was a big event after all, and the cabinet had to be busy for several days.

...

Back in the harem, Gao Xiu'er and Tuoba Qianyu greeted her together.Gao Xiu'er said softly: "My concubine, please go to the West Sea with the emperor, and I hope the emperor will grant you permission."

Liu Ziqiu wondered, "What are you going to do?"

Gao Xiu'er said with some concern: "Old Prince Tuoba left a little strangely, my concubine is not at ease, and wants to see what happened."

Tuoba Qianyu heard this, and hurriedly said: "Sister, you said my father was murdered by others?"

Gao Xiu'er shook her head, and said: "I just think it's strange, but the old prince doesn't necessarily have to be harmed by others, we need to see what kind of illness it is to be sure."

Liu Ziqiu knew that Gao Xiu'er's medical skills were fully taught by Sun Simiao, if Tuoba Mumi had not died a normal death, he would not be able to hide it from Gao Xiu'er's eyes.Originally, he didn't care about Tuoba Miya's death, because in this day and age, it is quite normal to be able to live to be over 50 years old.However, since Gao Xiu'er felt that there was a problem, he couldn't help but pay attention to it, so he nodded and said: "Alright, maybe you haven't been out of the palace for a long time, so go with me."

Soon, Hua Yun, Xie Muyu, Xie Xiangwen and others who got the news also gathered around and asked to accompany Liu Ziqiu.Everyone in the world thinks that the life in the palace is extravagant, but they don't know that staying in such a big place all day long will make everyone bored.These women were obviously tired of this kind of life, and they wished to go out with Liu Ziqiu for a walk.

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "The bitter cold land in the west, you guys are weak, but you can't go. It's better to stay in the palace with peace of mind. When I return, I will take you to the south of the Yangtze River, how about it?"

Hua Yun said displeased: "Your Majesty, they are weak and weak, and the concubines were killed from the army of thousands of horses!"

Liu Ziqiu laughed again: "If you leave, who will protect them?"

But Mu Duoli squeezed forward and said: "Your Majesty, Sister Yun is in charge of the female guards in the palace. Naturally, she can't leave without authorization, but the concubine has no duties. It's better to let the concubine follow by her side, so that she can take care of her."

Wang Yufeng also begged: "Your Majesty, the concubine was sent to the Western Regions by the emperor after his father recovered from his injury. Now, let's go to the West Sea, please accompany the concubine Xu, so that the concubine can see my father."

Liu Ziqiu pondered for a moment, finally nodded and said: "Forget it, Mu Duoli, Yufeng, you two also go with me."

Yuan Ziyan hurried over, and loudly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, you must not travel far. The concubine was watching the sky just now, and there was a streamer passing by the emperor's star. I am afraid that some villain will cause trouble!"

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "I don't think you've ever had any success with your star-gazing skills. Believe it or not!"

Tuoba Qianyu was thinking about his father's funeral, and seeing Yuan Ziyan obstructing her, she was immediately displeased and said: "Sister Ziyan, if you want to go with me, just tell the emperor, why bother to make such an ominous statement!"

Gao Xiu'er was worried that the sisters would cause estrangement because of this matter, so she coughed lightly and said, "The emperor has already made a decision on this matter, let's not discuss it any more. When the emperor returns, we sisters will happily travel to the south of the Yangtze River together. Wouldn't it be great."

She is the empress, the head of the six palaces, and everyone dared not listen to her words, so they dispersed one after another.

Lu Xiangdong's face darkened, and he whispered: "Call Gen'er, I have something to tell him."

Gao Xiu'er had a sad look on her face, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm still young, I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task."

Lu Xiangdong comforted: "Don't worry, I have confidence in Gen'er."

...

After a stick of incense, Liu Sigen came to Gao Xiu'er's bedroom, greeted her parents, and stood aside with her hands down.

Liu Ziqiu didn't like these strict etiquette, he pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit down, I have something to say to you as a father."

Liu Sigen sat down on the corner of the stool, straightened his body, and said respectfully, "Please teach me, Father."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hands with a smile, and said: "Don't be so nervous, relax." Then he said: "My father and your mother will go on a long journey soon. You will temporarily stay in the East Palace and take care of the affairs of the palace. Explain to your father You have two things, one is to take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, and the other is to protect the aunts who stay at home. Can you do it?"

Liu Sigen hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, there are children here, and I will never let them suffer any harm!"

Liu Ziqiu nodded, and said, "I have one more thing to tell you and your mother as a father."

Gao Xiu'er looked at Liu Ziqiu in surprise, but Liu Sigen couldn't help asking: "I don't know what the father said?"

Liu Ziqiu sighed, and said: "My father has kept you from you for more than ten years, and I should tell you today. My father is not a big cow in Changshan Village, but has another origin!"
