The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Accompanied by Tuoba Yuanju and others, Liu Ziqiu came to a small courtyard in the back residence of the palace. When he opened the courtyard door, he could feel a biting chill.It's only the beginning of autumn, but it's already snowing in some parts of the West Sea Wilderness.Still, even with snow, it shouldn't be that cold.

Seeing Liu Ziqiu frowned, Tuoba Yuanju hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, this is an ice cellar."

Liu Ziqiu said "Oh", nodded, walked in with his foot up.

In Luoyang, almost all rich and noble families have their own ice cellars to cool off in the hot summer.In a place as bitterly cold as Xihai, it is obviously easier to build an ice cellar.Therefore, it is not surprising that there is an ice cellar in the Dangxiang Palace.Moreover, if he left this ice cellar, it would be impossible for Tuoba Muya's body to be preserved for such a long time.

Tuoba Yuanju suddenly said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

Liu Ziqiu stopped his steps and said in a deep voice, "What advice do you have?"

Tuoba Yuanju hurriedly said: "Returning to your majesty, the ice used here is the thousand-year-old ice from the Daxue Mountain. The cold air is beyond the ability of ordinary people. We need to wait for my ministers to fetch something to keep out the cold, Your Majesty." to enter."

Liu Ziqiu shook his head lightly, reached out and patted Tuoba Yuanju's shoulder, sighed, and said, "Yuanju, you are old."

Tuoba Yuanju was taken aback for a moment, Liu Ziqiu had already entered the yard.Tuoba Qianyu glanced at his elder brother, took the hands of his sons and daughters, and followed closely into the yard.

Gao Xiu'er was the last one, saluted Tuoba Yuanju, and said, "Clan chief Tuoba, please."

After Tuoba Mumi passed away, the court's canonization order has not yet come down, so the status of Tuoba Yuanju is not yet the king of the party, but can only be counted as the patriarch of the Tuoba tribe.

Tuoba Yuanju gritted his teeth and followed Liu Ziqiu and his party as if nothing happened.As soon as he entered the yard, he couldn't help shivering.The cold air accumulated for thousands of years was no small matter, and he was only wearing a leather jacket, so it was naturally a bit difficult for him.But looking at Liu Ziqiu and the others, they don't have more clothes than him, the three adults are fine, but why are the two children not afraid of the cold?But he didn't know that Liu Ziqiu taught his children very strictly, practicing martial arts since childhood was not counted, and he had to accept the challenge of harsh weather frequently.Although the ice cellar here is cold, they can adapt to it.

In the center of the main hall of the small courtyard, there is a pair of nanmu coffins.Tuoba Muya's body was lying in a coffin, with a lifelike appearance.When Tuoba Qianyu saw her, she couldn't help crying bitterly, caressing her father's body, crying: "Father, the child is late."

Gao Xiu'er recalled what Tuoba Yuanju said that Tuoba Mumi died of a serious illness, and couldn't help being startled, she wanted to hold Tuoba Qianyu back, but was stopped by Liu Ziqiu.

Liu Ziqiu winked at her, and said to the two children: "Qian'er, Yu'er, you two kowtow to grandpa."

The two children were very well-behaved, and they each kowtowed three times.It's just that they haven't seen Tuoba Muya's face since they were born, so their eyes are full of strangeness.Seeing this, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help sighing slightly in his heart.Born in an emperor's family, it seems that the scenery is boundless, but it also loses a lot of fun of ordinary people.In his previous era, grandpa and grandson must be the closest people.And once born in the emperor's family, in order to avoid suspicion, the grandfather and grandson can't even meet each other.In fact, it wasn't that Liu Ziqiu didn't allow them to meet, but that Tuoba Mumi himself strictly adhered to the old rules and bad habits, and refused to go one step further.Coupled with the fact that there are thousands of mountains and rivers, it is impossible for Liu Ziqiu to send the two children so far away.

At this time, Gao Xiu'er also stepped forward and whispered to Tuoba Qianyu.After a long time, Tuoba Qianyu finally nodded, stopped crying, and followed Gao Xiuer back.

Tuoba Yuanju hurried over and said in a low voice: "Qianyu, you have already seen the father, let him go to the ground as soon as possible."

Perhaps because it was too cold, Tuoba Yuanju's voice trembled a little.

Tuoba Qianyu didn't speak, but looked at Liu Ziqiu.

Liu Ziqiu nodded slowly, and said: "Let's go out first. Choose an auspicious day, and see the old prince for the last time."

After leaving this small courtyard, Tuoba Yuanju heaved a sigh of relief.His face was a little purple, and he didn't know whether it was cold or scared.However, at this moment, he didn't care about his own face, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have already cleared the back house, Your Majesty, please surrender for a while."

But Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "No need, we will live in the posthouse. You should spend some time on the matter of the old prince. When everything is ready, I will personally preside over the funeral of the old prince."

Seeing Tuoba Yuanju again this time, Liu Ziqiu always felt that there was something weird about him, but there was no conclusive evidence that he had anything wrong.For safety reasons, Liu Ziqiu decided to temporarily avoid the post.He himself had nothing to worry about, but there were women and children in the group, so he couldn't help but be a bit more careful.Of course, in this way, his whereabouts in Xihai had to be completely exposed.However, even if he does not reveal his identity, the news will spread sooner or later.

...

After Liu Ziqiu and his party were sent to the post house, Tuoba Yuanju left and returned to his palace, but the four elders of the Tuoba clan were already waiting there.These four elders are about the same age as Tuoba Yuanju, their fathers are all previous elders, and Lai Luobu, the son of Lai Luo Weimu, is also one of them.Among the other three elders, two were Tuoba Yuanju's childhood playmates, and one was also his close friend.

With the help of these four elders, it can be said that Tuoba Yuanju has completely controlled the entire Tuoba tribe.But if he wants to become the new king of the party and unify the various ministries of the party, he still cannot do without the support of the court.And Liu Ziqiu hadn't asked about Chao Gang for a long time, at least in the eyes of outsiders.Therefore, the support of the imperial court is now equal to the support of the cabinet.Of course, the final decision of the cabinet needs to be signed by Liu Ziqiu.If Liu Ziqiu is not in the capital, it must be signed by the first successor Liu Sigen.In order to get this paper decision, Tuoba Yuanju has already sent people to Luoyang three times.

The person sent out for the first time was the youngest elder, Man Guangji.At this time, Man Guangji was also present.Seeing Tuoba Yuanju coming in, he quickly got up and asked: "Patriarch, today is outside Weiding City, such a great opportunity, why did you let the sons stop?"

Tuoba Yuanju sighed, and said: "When Liu Ziqiu showed his power in the West Sea, you were still young and didn't know how powerful he is. But today, many people in the team have experienced that scene. Hearing Liu Ziqiu's voice, many People are already panicked. Morale is lost, how can we fight again? To tell you the truth, even I myself was terrified at the time."

Lai Rob said in a deep voice, "Yeah, although I haven't seen that scene with my own eyes, I have heard Dad mention it many times. Dad reminded me that as long as Liu Ziqiu is in this world, we can't betray the Han Dynasty, otherwise It will surely bring about a catastrophe.”

The other two elders nodded again and again.They have all witnessed Liu Ziqiu's supernatural power, so they naturally know how powerful Liu Ziqiu is.At that time, when they heard Liu Ziqiu utter the words "Kill without mercy" in the team, their calves felt a little weak.Of course, there were still many young people in the team who had never seen how powerful Liu Ziqiu was, so they didn't feel anything about Liu Ziqiu's yelling, so they continued to charge forward until they were shot down by Mu Duoli's magic arrow.But at that time, Tuoba Yuanju himself had already retreated and stopped the team.

Man Guangji didn't believe how powerful Liu Ziqiu was, with a look of disdain on his face, he said, "We have more than 3000 people, and they are only a hundred or so. Thirty people beat one, can't we still beat one?"

Tuoba Yuanju shook his head, and said: "You have never seen how powerful Liu Ziqiu is. If he is caught by surprise, it is still possible. Since he is prepared, 3 people may not be able to take his life. Once the matter is revealed, Then we have to prepare to meet his wrath, if not, it will be a disaster of extermination!"

Lai Luobu also nodded, and said, "I haven't seen Liu Ziqiu before, just now I saw him come out of the small courtyard, his expression was relaxed, and he was very human. You know, if you don't add a few more clothes to keep out the cold, ordinary people can easily be attracted by him." Frostbite. What surprised me even more was that he himself was alright, but his two children were also alright. Could it be that, as the world has said, he already had a supernatural power?"

Man Guangji shook his head, and said: "I don't believe he is capable of supernatural powers!" He added: "But, the person in the cabinet said that if you want to get the canonization document of King Dangxiang, you have to exchange Liu Ziqiu's head! "

Tuoba Yuanju pondered: "I always don't believe that the cabinet was created by Liu Ziqiu alone, and they dare to rebel against Liu Ziqiu?"

Man Guangji said: "I also had doubts about this, but they said that the Great Han Dynasty only needs a cabinet and does not need an emperor. Liu Ziqiu sitting on the throne is just a waste of people's fat and people's anointing. However, the Great Han Dynasty was founded by Liu Ziqiu. , They can't do it, so they have to rely on our strength."

Lai Rob sneered, "I don't believe that there are so many senior scholars in the cabinet, they will all stand up against Liu Ziqiu."

Man Guangji retorted: "But the person who spoke is the Prime Minister!"

Come to Rob to show weakness: "What's wrong with the prime minister? If Liu Ziqiu knows that it is the prime minister who wants to murder him, I'm afraid that prime minister won't last long!"

Man Guangji snorted coldly, and said, "Which of you dare to leak this matter? If the Prime Minister falls into Liu Ziqiu's hands, then the old prince's death will not be kept secret! If Liu Ziqiu knows what the old prince is doing Damn, will he spare you and me? Besides, our Tuoba family is not the only one who wants to take the position of King Dangxiang. If the court canonize other people, what will happen? Have you considered it?"

Tuoba Yuanju heaved a long sigh, and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's all my fault that I fell into someone else's trap because of my carelessness."
