The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

There are more people who can deploy troops, and the capital will naturally appear more chaotic.However, it was precisely because there were many scattered troops in the capital that Li Yuan did not dare to act rashly.Because after the bloody battle in the palace and the subsequent firefight with Zhang Liang's troops, Li Yuan's domestic slaves and desperadoes also suffered heavy casualties, and now there are less than 3000 people who can be used.Otherwise, it is impossible for Li Yuan to send Li Shimin to the cabinet with only a hundred people.But Li Shimin was anxious for a while, but he forgot that he also had the power to dispatch thousands of troops, which caused the current situation.Because Li Yuan's troops were limited, he did not dare to occupy various yamen and important intersections in the city, so that the order in the city was not affected too much.As the army outside the city entered the city to suppress the rebellion, the situation in the capital became more stable.

Li Shimin also knew that he couldn't stay here any longer, so he waved his hands and said, "Since you are leaving, then take Li out too!"

But the school lieutenant cupped his hands and said: "My lord, if I don't go back to the barracks, I'm afraid I will be dealt with by the military regulations. I really can't help my lord. If my lord wants to go out, I can ask Zuo Wei's brother for help."

The Han army has abolished the previous military system, but still retains the left and right guards as a standing force stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.Judging from what the captain said, it was obvious that Zuowei's army had entered the city and might have taken control of the cabinet.You must know that the military discipline of the Han army is unknown, and if it does not move, once it moves, it will be very fast.

Li Shimin couldn't help lying down on the soft frame. The coup planned by their father and son from inside the fortress was destined to end in failure.At this point, Li Shimin finally understood that without a truly powerful army, any plan would be reduced to a joke.In fact, Liu Ziqiu understood this truth a long time ago. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

...

In less than an hour, the order in the capital returned to normal.Because Li Shimin had appeared at the scene of the rebellion, he was placed under residential surveillance and compulsory measures.He is not allowed to leave the residence until he can prove his innocence.Of course, the entire Li Mansion has also become a key control area due to the appearance of a large number of suspicious characters.Regarding this point, the Li family has nothing to say, because according to the registration at the gate of the city, Zhang Liang's private soldiers and many desperadoes of unknown origin came in from the south gate guarded by Li Yuanji, and it was easy for them to Some people doubt whether there is some kind of connection between the Li family and these people.Of course, the big man is a country that talks about evidence. When Li Shimin insisted that he rushed to the palace for rescue, and there was no other conclusive evidence, he would not easily convict the Li family. He could only temporarily list them as suspects , These are the systems established by Liu Ziqiu at the beginning.

It is also because of the system established by Liu Ziqiu that when Liu Ziqiu is not in the capital, Liu Sigen will act on his behalf; when Liu Sigen is not in the capital, the second successor Liu Siyun will act as emperor, and so on.At the same time, Liu Ziqiu arranged different occupations for the children according to their hobbies. Some older children, like Liu Siyun, had secretly left the palace long ago, and it was impossible for them to be wiped out.Because the order of successors has been stipulated long ago, once something happens in the capital, someone will naturally stand up.As for the emperor's seal, it suddenly fell into Liu Siyun's barracks for some reason, maybe it was God's will.

A day later, another army suddenly appeared outside Luoyang City.Those with sharp eyes will find that the commander of this army turned out to be Hua Yun, the imperial concubine who disappeared from the palace that day, who is also the mother of the second prince Liu Siyun.There are two predecessors of the Han army, one is the Xihai Navy commanded by Liu Ziqiu, and the other is the Changshan Army commanded by Hua Yun.There are only two people who can mobilize the army at will outside the system, one is Liu Ziqiu, and the other is the imperial concubine Huayun.No one knows how Hua Yun left the palace that day, but one thing is certain, Hua Yun came with an army, obviously to put down the rebellion.And as a witness to the rebellion that day, Hua Yun's return means that the truth has come to light.

Not long after the news came out, Li Yuan hanged himself at home.After the soldiers of the brigade surrounded Li's mansion, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were still waiting to fight, but the situation was gone, so they could only be captured without a fight.And because Li Shimin injured a leg, he didn't even have the strength to resist.

The capital city of Luoyang regained its calm, and Liu Siyun took over his brother's position and began to sit in the palace.At the request of the cabinet, the two-level congress held an interim meeting and dismissed Li Shimin as prime minister, who was replaced by Changsun Wuji.But Changsun Wuji refused to accept his resignation, and finally Du Ruhui became the prime minister of the cabinet.The two-level congress also by-elected Xie Zhiwen into the cabinet as a bachelor.Because there is no definite news about Liu Ziqiu, and Li Shimin once served as the prime minister and had a deep influence, his trial will have to wait until Liu Ziqiu comes back.

...

On the night when the rebellion broke out in the palace, Gao Xiu'er, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly felt heart palpitations in her sleep, and couldn't help but let out a scream.

Liu Ziqiu was startled awake by her cry, and couldn't help asking with concern: "Xiu'er, what's wrong?"

Gao Xiu'er suddenly hugged Liu Ziqiu tightly, and said in a low voice: "My husband, I am always worried that something will happen to Gen'er."

Liu Ziqiu comforted: "Don't worry, nothing will happen at all."

In fact, Liu Ziqiu himself felt a little uneasy.The reason why he left the capital this time was because he felt that there was a faint force that was not safe.Although this force is not strong, and it is not very troublesome to suppress it, he still hopes that this force will jump out by itself, so that he can take measures in a legitimate way.However, as long as he stays in the capital, no one dares to rebel with the prestige established by his years of fighting.That's why he left the capital to give the other party a "chance to perform".Of course, he left the capital for another purpose, which was to test whether the system he had established would be effective when he was not around.

Even though he comforted her in every way, Gao Xiu'er still couldn't fall asleep that night, she whispered: "Husband, let's return to the capital as soon as possible."

Liu Ziqiu calmed down and said with a smile, "Whatever, we have to wait until the matter here is finished."

But Gao Xiuer became worried again: "Husband, will Qianyu be sad if you dispose of Tuoba Yuanju?"

Liu Ziqiu thought for a while and said, "Well, let's give Tuoba Yuanju one last chance to confess himself. As long as he is willing to tell the truth, I will pardon his capital crime. If he is still obsessed, then you can't blame me for being ruthless." Yes. Presumably Qianyu can also understand my approach, and I can't let the old prince die in an unclear way."

...

Early the next morning, Liu Ziqiu sent someone to summon Tuoba Yuanju to the post house.Although the Tuoba tribe could move to Weiding City with the permission of the imperial court, the entire Weiding City was actually still under the strict control of the Han army.At this time, there was a letter written by Han Chang, the prefect of Xihai, and Tuoba Yuanju dared not not come.

Liu Ziqiu was not polite to him, and said directly: "Yuanju, I plan to mourn the old prince tomorrow, tell me the truth, how did the old prince die?"

Tuoba Yuanju's eyes flickered, and he said softly: "Return to Your Majesty, father, he..."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Yuanju, don't rush to answer me. I will give you one last chance, and you have to tell me the truth. If you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for not remembering the past!"

The expression on Tuoba Yuanju's face changed, and the past events appeared in his mind.Back then in Xihai, Liu Ziqiu was just a small soldier in the army, but he managed to save the building by himself, defeating Tuyuhun and Sui rebels in a row, until reaching the top.The Dangxiang Tuoba Department finally chose to stand on Liu Ziqiu's side, and was able to secure the position of Dangxiang King.It can be said that without Liu Ziqiu, there would be no development and growth of the Tuoba Department of the party.But now, he actually colluded with Li Shimin and wanted to murder Liu Ziqiu, he was really deceived by lard.He knew very well that Tuoba Mumi died after eating the elixir offered by that Taoist, and that Taoist was obviously sent by Li Shimin.Otherwise, how could Li Shimin know what happened in such detail.If so, Li Shimin is his father-killing enemy.He did not avenge the killing of his father, but colluded with the enemy and wanted to murder his own brother-in-law, which is simply heinous.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Yuanju's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and finally fell to his knees with a "plop", and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty clearly found out, Father Wang was definitely not killed by a humble minister!"

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Yuanju, you also know that the old prince was killed? Then tell me, who killed the old prince?"

Tuoba Qianyu also became anxious, stomped her feet fiercely, and shouted coquettishly: "Brother, tell me quickly!"

Tuoba Yuanju gritted his teeth and said three words: "Li Shimin!"

Tuoba Qianyu lost his voice and said: "Li Shimin is far away in Luoyang, how did he harm his father!"

Gao Xiu'er became even more worried when she thought of her palpitations in the middle of the night.

Liu Ziqiu was expressionless, and said coldly: "Yuanju, Li Shimin is the current prime minister, if there is no evidence, what should be the crime for slandering the minister, do you know?"

Tuoba Yuanju hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have evidence, and I have evidence. Father died after eating an elixir offered by a wandering Taoist. Even in our Tuoba tribe, this matter is a secret that very few people know. However, Li Shimin, who is far away in the capital, knows all about it. If he is not the mastermind, how could he know about it?"

Liu Ziqiu shook his head, and said: "Maybe that wandering Taoist committed crimes in other places and confessed the murder of the old prince. It happened to be known to Li Shimin. It is not impossible, and everything must be based on evidence."

Gao Xiu'er couldn't help but said: "Since Li Shimin knew about this matter, why didn't he report it to the emperor, his heart can be punished!"

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "There is only one truth, and there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed."
