The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

If Li Shimin caught those concubines, princes and princesses, he would naturally have many ways to explain it.Those concubines, princes and princesses who are willing to show obedience can let them stay in the palace to prove that Li Shimin saved them.And those concubines, princes, and princesses who resolutely refused to surrender and tried their best to resist could be broken with a clean knife.It is possible to use their deaths to intimidate those who are more obedient, and to push their deaths on Zhang Liang, saying that they were all killed by Zhang Liang's rebellious army.

Now, these concubines, princes, and princesses have all disappeared. They have searched the entire palace, but they have not found a single corpse belonging to them, as if they disappeared out of thin air.Under normal circumstances, the palace will have secret rooms and secret passages.In order to find out the whereabouts of these people, the house slaves and desperadoes occupying the palace are digging three feet into the ground, but nothing has been found so far.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin could neither say that they were killed by the rebel army, nor admit that they had escaped.Because in Li Yuan's plan, he wanted to support Yang Gao to regain the throne of God.Everyone saw Liu Sigen flying away, but Liu Ziqiu had other sons staying in Beijing.If it is said that these people have escaped, all the great scholars will definitely write all over the world to try their best to find their whereabouts.As long as a prince returns, it will not be Yang Gao's turn to sit on the throne.

Because those princes disappeared inexplicably, Li Shimin was not sure whether these princes had escaped or for some other reason. He had to hurry up and help Yang Gao to the throne before those princes came back.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin bowed his head, did not answer the question just now, and said with a sad face: "My lords, Li has a worse news to tell everyone."

All the academicians looked at each other and asked in unison: "Is there any worse news?" In their view, the law and order of the Han Dynasty has always been very good, and it is unimaginable that Zhang Liang led his troops to rebel. , where there will be worse news.

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "A letter from the northwest, Your Majesty was suddenly attacked by Tuoba Yuanju outside Weiding City, and died of serious injuries."

"Nonsense!" Du Ruhui immediately jumped up, "Your Majesty and Tuoba Yuanju are close relatives, so how could Tuoba Yuanju do such vicious things!"

Changsun Wuji also shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's martial arts, maybe others don't know, but you and I should know, how could it be so easy to be poisoned by others, I don't believe it."

Li Shimin sighed again, and said: "I don't want to believe it, but the fact is. Now that there are no people in the Liu family, the Han Dynasty cannot be left alone for a day. I thought that when King Zhao returned to the court, I don't know What do you guys think?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Shimin, and said with a sneer, "Li Shimin, you don't have any selfish intentions, do you?"

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "As the prime minister, if Li has any selfish intentions, why would he invite another emperor to come out? Li always keeps in mind His Majesty's teachings. The emperor is just a symbol, but the operation of the country depends on you and me." Hands! As long as we and the cabinet scholars work together, even if there is no emperor, the Han Dynasty can still be passed down through the ages!"

Indeed, this is the truth that Liu Ziqiu has always instilled in them, especially in the past few years, except for going to the military camp regularly, Liu Ziqiu basically doesn't care about government affairs, and the operation of the Han Dynasty is still in order.From this point of view alone, it is the same whether there is an emperor or not.However, which man doesn't have a bit of emperor's dream?If there is really no emperor sitting in the capital, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos long ago.After listening to Li Shimin's words, several great scholars nodded secretly, with a little emotion on their faces.

Li Shimin bowed to the eldest grandson Wuji again, and said loudly: "Brother Wuji, when Li was young and ignorant, he did such absurd things as regretting his marriage, and he felt quite guilty in his heart. If Brother Wuji is willing to give Li this opportunity , Li is willing to come to the door to apologize, and remarry Wugou's younger sister to start. I also hope that Brother Wuji will let go of the past, and Li is willing to listen to his brother's punishment!"

After so many years, what Li Shimin cared about was actually his grandson Wugou. Although he and that fake Wang Yufeng were married, their relationship was very weak.If he was not afraid of Liu Ziqiu's punishment, he would have divorced that woman long ago.Now, he will be able to rule the world immediately, so naturally he will no longer be fettered by Liu Ziqiu.And after so many years, the eldest grandson Wugou is already a 20-year-old girl, and she still refuses to marry.From Li Shimin's point of view, it was because of his unrequited love for him.Thinking of the beauty of his eldest grandson Wugou, Li Shimin felt a little distracted.If they can get back together successfully, they can also repair their relationship with Changsun Wuji, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, and said, "My sister, Changsun Wuji, is she willing to be petty to others! You'd better give up on it!"

But Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Brother, it's too early to say anything at this time. Let's discuss the matter of electing King Zhao to the throne."

He was confident that when the time came, he would snatch his eldest grandson Wugou over even if he robbed him.

Several academicians whispered and nodded frequently, seeming to somewhat agree with Li Shimin's opinion.But Du Ruhui said loudly: "Li Shimin, you are already disabled, and I am afraid that you can no longer serve as prime minister. Du will propose to the two-level congress to remove you from the post of prime minister!"

The prime minister not only controls the power center of the country, but also represents the image of the country.Thinking about the tens of millions of people in the Han Dynasty, but they couldn't choose a virtuous person, and insisted on letting a cripple be the prime minister, if it was spread to other countries, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud.Now, the navy of the Han Dynasty has opened up several routes, which can reach distant Europe by sea.The exchanges with each other became more and more frequent, and envoys from various countries often came to pay tribute on the merchant ships of the Han Dynasty.The prime minister has one duty, which is to receive these foreign envoys.Therefore, Li Shimin's current situation is no longer suitable to serve as prime minister.

In the cabinet, the bachelor and the prime minister have equal voting rights, and the prime minister only plays the role of a convener and representative.However, people often still have some old thinking, and several grand scholars still regard the prime minister as their superior.Now, seeing that Li Shimin could not become the prime minister, the attitude of those bachelors towards him has undergone some slight changes.Du Ruhui's tactic was really powerful, and it immediately wiped out Li Shimin's advantage established by relying on the position of prime minister.

Li Shimin's face became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Li's injury was caused to save the eldest prince. I think the representatives will consider it at their own discretion. Moreover, Li's injury is not incurable. Sun Miracle Doctor has already received Li. The letter I sent is coming soon. At that time, Li will be back to normal again!"

The situation was so compelling that he did not hesitate to tell a big lie.Sun Simiao travels all over the world, how can it be so easy to find?Even if it is found, it is impossible to heal him.Of course, Li Shimin only needs to coax these bachelors, let them accept his suggestion, and push Yang Gao to the throne.When that time really comes, what if the lies are exposed by them?Just when he thought that his leg might never be healed, Li Shimin's expression was a little sad. After all, no one wants to live with an injured leg for a lifetime.

There was silence in the hall, and the few grand scholars were silent, but they were nervously calculating gains and losses in their hearts.Although Liu Ziqiu has always emphasized to them that the interests of the country and the nation should be the most important.But at critical moments, how many people can truly be selfless?As bachelors, they not only have generous salaries, but also are respected.But once the emperor and the courtiers, if Liu Ziqiu is really murdered by others, the Han Dynasty will really change.Even if those princes escaped with their lives by chance, but they were still young, wouldn't the situation be exactly the same as that of Yang Guang?In the eyes of several academicians, Li Shimin was eager to elect Yang Gao to the throne, just like them, in order to keep his own position.But they didn't have any suitable candidates in their hands, so they couldn't come up with better suggestions, and it seemed that they could only accept Li Shimin's arrangement.

Suddenly, the school lieutenant who was guarding the door ran in, cupped his hands and said, "My lords, the general has received an order that everyone in the capital must withdraw to the barracks within an hour. The general must also return to the barracks. I will guard you adults here again, and I hope you will forgive me!"

These troops were transferred by them, but they were not under their jurisdiction.This is a kind of balance, which makes several great scholars helpless.Li Shimin was secretly happy.Without these troops, he has more than 100 people in his hands, enough to control the cabinet.Because including Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui, these great scholars are all weak and weak scholars.

Changsun Wuji said with a serious face, "Wait a minute! Who gave the order?"

The school captain cupped his fists towards the upper right, and said: "It is an order from His Royal Highness, with the emperor's seal and the second prince's own handwriting."

"Whose handwriting did you say?" The bachelors were all taken aback, and asked in unison, "The second prince escaped from the chaos?"

The captain smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, the second prince lives in the barracks all year round, eats and sleeps with the soldiers, and now serves as the brigade commander in the army. Therefore, last night, the second prince was not in the palace, so he was not robbed. As for why the Second Prince issued this order, with the wisdom of all adults, I must have already guessed it."

Li Shimin had vaguely guessed the reason, and his heart gradually sank, but he still didn't give up, and asked sharply: "What is the reason?"

Du Ruhui breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Isn't that clear? The second prince will lead the army to suppress the rebellion! At that time, I don't know if some people will be able to justify their arguments!"

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, even the emperor has no right to mobilize troops on a large scale in peacetime, unless there is a war or rebellion.However, there are not a few people who can mobilize troops, but the soldiers and horses that each person can mobilize are extremely limited.For example, a general can mobilize 3000 people, a cabinet scholar can mobilize 1000 people, and other generals can mobilize tens to hundreds of troops.The movement last night was obviously a rebellion, and no one who has the ability to mobilize the army will give up this power at this time.Therefore, there are not a few soldiers and horses scattered in the capital.At this time, the second prince issued an order to let the army return to the camp. Obviously, a large number of troops marched into the capital to prevent accidental injuries.
