The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

This matter started a few months ago.At that time, a wandering Taoist suddenly appeared in Weiding City.This wandering Taoist was proficient in spells, dared to put his hand into the boiling oil pan to fish out the copper coins at the bottom of the pan, and even swallowed the flames alive, causing a sensation in the entire Weiding City.If Liu Ziqiu was here, he would naturally know that it was just a charlatan trick.I put my hand into the frying pan, just because borax was added to the frying pan, which made it look like boiling, but in fact, the oil temperature was only [-] to [-] degrees, and it felt comfortable to the touch.As for swallowing flames alive, it's also just a trick.But Wei Ding City is located in a remote place, the local people have never seen such a trick, and for a while they thought that wandering Taoist came down to earth as a god.

Xiandu is a destined person, not everyone can be favored by gods.After Taoist You Fang showed his hand in the city, he found a small courtyard to live in, lived in seclusion, and never saw anyone who asked to see him. He only said that there was no fate, and even Han Chang, the governor of Xihai County, wanted to see him. He got out.

Xihai County is the fundamental place where Liu Ziqiu started his family, and a new ethnic group, Xihai, even emerged here.Naturally, Liu Ziqiu attached great importance to his own foundation, and specially appointed Han Shi'er and Hou Susu's eldest son Han Chang as the sheriff.Han Shi'er is also one of the founding heroes and Li Jing's cousin, so his loyalty to the court goes without saying.Liu Ziqiu arranged his eldest son in Xihai, which also showed his trust in him.Because of the support of the imperial court, Han Chang firmly grasped the power of Xihai. In the entire Xihai County, no one dared not give Han Chang face.But what was surprising was that Han Chang didn't bother this wandering Taoist.As a result, the legend about the wandering Taoist became more and more magical.

In fact, the reason why Han Chang endured this tone was because Liu Ziqiu always emphasized that the prince broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime.And Han Chang is a law enforcer, knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime is aggravated.Therefore, even though Han Chang was kicked out by that wandering Taoist, he didn't dare to force his way in, let alone find any excuse to accuse him of crimes. Instead, he gained the reputation of that wandering Taoist.

If Taoist You Fang only has a reputation, that's all. After all, if he has a reputation, if he doesn't take action, it won't have much impact on the people and things around him.However, after sitting in Weiding City for half a month and rejecting countless visitors, this wandering Taoist suddenly agreed to let Tuoba Yuanju enter that small courtyard.At that time, Tuoba Mumi suddenly fell ill, and Tuoba Yuanju went to see the Taoist wandering, in order to seek medical advice for the old prince.In fact, Tuoba Miya's illness has already been diagnosed and treated by the official doctor in Weiding City, but it is just an occasional cold, which is not serious.It's just that Tuoba Yuanju saw his father's cough getting worse and worse, and was worried that the official doctor in Weiding City would not be able to diagnose him correctly, so he came to ask Taoist Youfang.

In the small courtyard, outsiders naturally had no way of knowing what Taoist Youfang said to Tuoba Yuanju.But after that day, Taoist You Fang disappeared without a trace. Some people said that he returned to the Nine Heavens, and some said that he continued to travel around to save destined people.In short, when Tuoba Yuanju came out of the small courtyard, he had a box of elixir in his hand.Each of these elixir is the size of a pigeon egg, golden in color, and exudes a strange aroma, there are six in total.But who would have thought that after Tuoba Mumi took these six pills, he would die.In this way, Tuoba Yuanju was found guilty of killing his father.

Of course, only a few people know that Tuoba Yuanju obtained the elixir from Taoist You Fang, and that Tuoba Mumi took the elixir, and those who know about it are the leaders of the Tuoba tribe.Now that Tuoba Miya is dead, it involves the issue of the ownership of the party's throne.So, no one wants to tell the truth.

The title of Dangxiang King was originally conferred by the head of the Tuyuhun Kingdom.Later, Liu Ziqiu unified the Han Dynasty and reissued the canonization order.According to the military exploits made by the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Mumi was not qualified to be crowned king.He was able to obtain the title of Dangxiang King entirely because of Tuoba Qianyu.However, in this canonization order, there is no hereditary word.In fact, not only Dangxiang King, but also Mu Lin, Shi Danai, Xue Shixiong and others on the grassland, although they were also crowned kings, they also did not receive hereditary treatment.In other words, after their death, the ownership of the throne still has to be decided by the court.

Compared with people like Mullin and Stanay, the situation of Dangxiang is much more complicated.The Tuoba Department is not the only one, and the Quali Department, which is married to the Tuoba Department, is now not under the Tuoba Department.Moreover, there is also a sense of brotherhood between Li Duoyun, the patriarch of the Xiangli tribe, and Liu Ziqiu.Therefore, once the news spread that Tuoba Mumi died because of taking the elixir offered by Tuoba Yuanju, it would be impossible for Tuoba Yuanju to inherit the position of Dangxiang King, and Tuoba Mumi had only one son alive in the world.Then, Dangxiang Wang is likely to fall into the hands of the Ministry of Li.Dangxiang King is not just a title, but also has many privileges within the entire Dangxiang clan, and can also get more support from the court.Therefore, the elders of the Tuoba tribe were unwilling to leave Wang Dangxiang to another family no matter what, and could only help Tuoba Yuanju keep this secret.

Of course Tuoba Yuanju didn't want to kill his father, but that wandering Taoist had disappeared, and it happened that they were the only two of them when they met, and now he couldn't explain it clearly even if he was covered in mouths.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.When Man Guangji reported the funeral to the imperial court under the order of Tuoba Yuanju, and asked for canonization by the way, then Prime Minister Li Shimin suddenly questioned the cause of Tuoba Mumi's death.Moreover, Li Shimin "guessed" very clearly about the cause of Tuoba Muya's death, as if he was watching from the sidelines.Man Guangji naturally refused to admit it, but Li Shimin did not force him, and only asked him to bring a letter to Tuoba Yuanju.After reading the letter, Tuoba Yuanju knew that Li Shimin asked him to detain his younger sister Tuoba Qianyu, otherwise he would report the matter to Liu Ziqiu.

Once Tuoba Mumi died, Tuoba Qianyu would definitely go back to his hometown for the funeral, but why Li Shimin withheld Tuoba Qianyu, Tuoba Yuanju couldn't figure it out.But this doubt did not last long, because he soon received another letter from Li Shimin.In the letter, Li Shimin disclosed the news that Liu Ziqiu would also come to Xihai, and asked him to wait for the opportunity to kill Liu Ziqiu.As long as he can kill Liu Ziqiu, the court will make him the new Dangxiang King and give him the entire West Sea as a fief.

But one thing Tuoba Yuanju didn't know was that, as the only elder who had been to the capital, Man Guangji also received a letter from Li Shimin.In the letter, Li Shimin also made a promise to Man Guangji that as long as he can supervise Tuoba Yuanju to complete this matter, he will also be named king.It is precisely because of this that Man Guangji made every effort to persuade him.Of course, Man Guangji had never seen Liu Ziqiu's bravery back then, the so-called ignorant fearless, that's why he dared to keep clamoring to kill Liu Ziqiu with his numbers.

Being forced to this point, how could Tuoba Yuanju fail to understand that the wandering Taoist was a trap set by Li Shimin.It's just that when he understood this, he was already sinking deeper and deeper, and it was not so easy to break free.

...

In the posthouse a few miles away, Liu Ziqiu sat on the floor, looked at Gao Xiuer who had just walked in, and asked softly, "Did Qianyu fall asleep?"

Gao Xiu'er nodded, and said in a low voice: "Qianyu is exhausted physically and mentally. I gave her a bowl of soothing soup, and she must be able to sleep for an hour. Husband, please rest assured, there are Mu Duoli and Yufeng there Taking care of them. The two babies are also very sensible, and they don't make any noise."

Liu Ziqiu patted his side lightly, and said: "Xiu'er, sit here." Then he said: "You have seen the situation of the old prince, what kind of illness do you have?"

Gao Xiu'er sat down beside Liu Ziqiu as she said, her face was a little heavy, and she whispered: "The old prince has some tuberculosis, but it's not serious. If he takes care of it properly, he should be fine. However, the concubine tried it out, and the old prince's stomach is bigger than other people's. The place is even stiffer because of swallowing gold. Even if what he swallowed was not gold, it was something heavy."

Tuberculosis is the tuberculosis of later generations. With the medical level at that time, it was really difficult to cure.But Tuoba Muya, as the king of Dangxiang, can use many precious medicinal materials, even if he cannot be cured, he can still delay the progress of the disease.Therefore, his death was definitely not caused by consumption.As for swallowing gold, it is often used by people to commit suicide.Tuoba Mumi had a good life, so how could he commit suicide?If he really died because of this, he must have been murdered.

Thinking of the various deeds of Tuoba Yuanju when he appeared outside Weiding City, the murderer's direction became clearer.No matter in which dynasty or nationality, patricide is the most unacceptable act.Now, Tuoba Yuanju has done such a thing.Liu Ziqiu couldn't believe it.But all the signs pointed to this, and he had to believe it.But Tuoba Yuanju is Tuoba Qianyu's biological brother, if she loses her father after losing her brother, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the blow.How to deal with Tuoba Yuanju became a difficult problem for Liu Ziqiu.

...

In the city of Luoyang thousands of miles away, Li Shimin's mansion is heavily guarded.Li Shimin walked into the study slowly, screened back left and right, then stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on a corner of the bookcase.The heavy bookcase moved slowly to one side.Behind the bookcase, a small door appeared.Li Shimin glanced back, stepped into the small door, and the bookcase behind him slowly returned to its original position.

Behind the small door is a long and narrow passage. After seven turns and eight turns, the front suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be a courtyard.It's just that this courtyard is buried deep in the ground and doesn't see the sun all year round.In the middle of the courtyard, an old man with gray hair was flexing his fists and said without looking back, "Shimin, you are here."

Li Shimin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Father, everything has been arranged properly and can be activated!"

The old man stopped his momentum, and when he turned around, it was the former Tang King Li Yuan!
