The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

An imperial doctor said tremblingly: "Return to Xiangye, there are only three people in the world who can heal Xiangye's legs."

"Quickly tell me! Who is it! Ah..." Li Shimin was agitated, and couldn't help but sat up from the couch, not wanting to affect the injury in his leg, so he groaned in pain.

Another imperial physician hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "The first one is Mr. Sun, the director of our imperial hospital. However, Mr. Sun likes to travel around the world, and he hasn't appeared in the capital for three years."

"Don't hesitate, tell me who the second one is!" Li Yuan grabbed the imperial physician's throat and roared.Among his several sons, the one he likes the most and is also the most capable is the second son Li Shimin.Now, seeing that his desire to seize the world is about to come true, but this second son has a broken leg and is about to become disabled, how can Li Yuan not be anxious?

"Uh uh." The imperial doctor was pinched by him and he was almost out of breath. After dancing with his hands for a long time, he finally managed to say a word, "The second one is Empress Gao."

Gao Xiu'er has followed Liu Ziqiu to the West Sea, this is something that Li Yuan and others know.Even if Gao Xiu'er was still in the capital, and the Li family wanted to take over Liu Ziqiu's world, I'm afraid she would not be willing to treat Li Shimin's injured leg, which obviously couldn't be counted on.Li Yuan couldn't help but said angrily: "Just talk about the third one!"

Several imperial physicians looked up at the sky together, and one of them murmured, "The other one has turned into a dragon and passed away!"

"You mean Liu Sigen?" Li Shimin was taken aback, his heart sank gradually.Of the three people who could heal his leg injury, two were actually Liu Ziqiu's close relatives, and they were the two people he had kidnapped back then, so it was obviously impossible to help him.Don't say that the remaining one is not in the capital at all, even if he is in the capital, it is impossible to help him.As the prime minister of the cabinet, Li Shimin had access to more secrets, so he naturally knew that the relationship between Sun Simiao, Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiuer was extraordinary, although they were not relatives, they were better than relatives.Li Shimin's eyes were dull, and he suddenly felt retribution.

Suddenly, Li Yuan pulled out his saber, stabbed into the chest of the imperial physician who said Liu Sigen had just turned into a dragon, and said viciously: "What turned into a dragon! It's clearly turned into a dead ghost! Don't wait!" Bewitching people here! If there are any more nonsense, this person will end up!"

Li Shimin was awakened by the scream of the imperial physician, he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, time is running out, hurry up and send the child to the cabinet!"

They have only captured the imperial palace now. If they want to truly control this country, they must first control the cabinet.The cabinet is the center of the entire imperial court, and only by controlling the cabinet can it issue orders to the government of the world.Although Li Shimin is the prime minister of the cabinet, the deliberation system of the cabinet requires the approval of more than a majority of people before resolutions and orders can take effect.Therefore, every bachelor in the cabinet has a pivotal position.Normally, Li Shimin behaved according to the rules, and these great scholars naturally had one heart with him.Now that he has done such a shocking event, it is hard to say what position those grand scholars will stand on.If he is right, those people are likely to propose two congresses to remove him as prime minister and then bring him to justice.

Originally, Li Shimin had already planned to convene an emergency cabinet meeting before dawn, and detain all these bachelors before they figured out the situation.With a knife and an ax on his neck, he couldn't believe that none of these guys would surrender.However, Li Shimin's leg was broken by a war horse outside the palace gate, and he fell into a coma for a while, which wasted two hours in vain.Now, what Li Shimin is most afraid of is that these great scholars have learned the truth and have come up with countermeasures.You must know that in the cabinet, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others are not inferior to him in wisdom at all.

...

Li Shimin's worries were not groundless. When Li Yuan sent a team of men to carry Li Shimin to the cabinet office, they were stopped by soldiers.

The leading lieutenant shouted in a deep voice: "The cabinet is an important place, and no one who is irrelevant is allowed to enter!"

Li Shimin struggled from the soft frame, and shouted: "Presumptuous, don't you know who so is?"

The school lieutenant cupped his hands and said: "Of course the prime minister can go in, but those subordinates have never seen it before, but they can't just enter the cabinet!"

Li Shimin pointed to his injured leg, and said coldly: "Bold! How can someone get in if he is already injured like this!"

Even though he was facing the current prime minister, the school lieutenant was not afraid at all. He cupped his hands again and said, "Your subordinate can let someone carry the prime minister in!"

Those desperadoes who followed Li Shimin couldn't hold back for a long time, they all drew out their sabers and shouted in one go: "Bold!" "Presumptuous!" "Kill them!"

The lieutenant sneered and said, "The Prime Minister's family is so powerful, don't they dare to force their way into the cabinet! The subordinates are not easy to bully!"

After finishing speaking, the captain patted his hands lightly, and the two vermilion lacquered gates of the cabinet office suddenly parted, and a group of soldiers rushed out from inside, the number of which was thousands.Looking in through the gate, you can see that the courtyard of the cabinet office is crowded with densely packed soldiers.

Li Shimin couldn't help being surprised: "Did they transfer troops?"

Normally, there are no more than [-] soldiers guarding the cabinet office.However, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, each cabinet scholar also has the right to mobilize another [-] soldiers and horses.Looking at the situation in the yamen, it is obvious that more than one bachelor has used his authority to deploy troops.Although the cabinet masters can transfer troops, these soldiers are not completely obeying them.Because the bachelors are different from the generals after all, they don't usually lead the army, and they don't have any close contact with the soldiers.When they violated the laws of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers were likely to refuse to carry out their orders.It is for this reason that Li Shimin did not use his right to deploy troops.Because he knew very well that even when Zhang Liang led his soldiers to attack the palace, many soldiers hesitated.

Also because of the restriction of not being able to deploy troops at will, he now has less than [-] soldiers available, including the [-] soldiers guarding the south gate under Li Yuanji's command.At the critical moment, it is still hard to say whether those thousand soldiers will rebel with them.It was only because he broke his leg that he was delayed for two hours, and in the end he lost the opportunity, and the good situation might be overturned.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, resisted the severe pain in his legs and the annoyance in his heart, and said loudly: "Forget it, you carry XX in!"

Soon, four soldiers walked out from behind the captain, took over the soft frame, lifted Li Shimin and walked inside.And the more than 100 guards brought by Li Shimin could only stare blankly, no one dared to be as arrogant as before.After all, the opponent's strength is dozens of times theirs, and they are well-trained fighters.If they dare to force their way in, I'm afraid there won't even be scum left.

...

The cabinet yamen was very quiet, except for Li Shimin, the other six bachelors were already in place.The cabinet is responsible for handling a large number of memorials and important affairs reported in newspapers from all over the country, and it is rare to take a few days off throughout the year.However, these six grand scholars obviously knew what happened last night, otherwise they would not be able to easily exercise their right to deploy troops.Now that they knew that a major change had taken place in the palace, they didn't have the time to deal with the memorials and affairs, and they were waiting for Li Shimin's arrival with gloomy faces.

Soon, Li Shimin arrived at the cabinet hall under the escort of four soldiers.He forcefully propped up half of his body, cupped his hands towards the crowd, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."

Du Ruhui is a real person, seeing Li Shimin's appearance, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Prime Minister, why is this?"

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "Last night, there was a sudden change in the palace, and everyone must have known about it."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and said, "Although we knew that something happened to the palace, we were restricted by the curfew and did not dare to visit. Now, the palace city has been locked, and the guards on the top of the city are silent. Fa, we really don't know what happened in the palace. Just in case, we have already discussed and dispatched troops to the cabinet to gather together. I don't know why the Prime Minister has this leg?"

Li Shimin sighed and said: "In this way, Li has violated the order. Hearing the sound of killing in the palace yesterday, Li was anxious for a while, and even forgot the curfew order, so he quickly took his slaves to find out what happened. General Zhang Liang. It turned out that Zhang Liang had rebelled and was leading his army to attack the palace. Li hurriedly led his slaves to rescue him, not wanting to fall off his horse and break a leg in the midst of the chaos."

A group of academicians heard that Li Shimin had personally experienced the battle in the palace last night, so they didn't care whether he violated the curfew, and they all asked in one go: "What's going on?" "The emperor treated Zhang Liang well." , why did he rebel?" "What is the situation in the palace?"

Li Shimin saw that everyone hadn't suspected him yet, so he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, but his face was full of pain, and he shook his head and said, "It's a pity, Li went too late. At that time, Zhang Liang had already broken the gate of the palace, and Zhang Liang was holding the knife." Kill people indiscriminately inside. Li’s subordinates are just domestic slaves, no match for Zhang Liang’s elite soldiers, and even Li escaped with his life by luck.”

But Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "Du was watching at home last night, and saw a ball of fire rising in the direction of the palace, and saw His Royal Highness the First Prince riding away on a dragon. I don't know why?"

This time, Li Shimin didn't like to reprimand Du Ruhui. He just nodded and said, "At that time, Li was in the palace. He couldn't walk because of a broken leg. He watched helplessly as a high wall in the palace exploded suddenly, and the rocks flew everywhere. , smashed all those rebels to death, and there was not a single one left, even Zhang Liang's head was smashed."

What he said was half true and half false, but it never aroused the suspicion of the grand scholars.

However, Changsun Wuji asked with concern: "I have seen the eldest prince go away on a dragon with the flames, but I haven't seen the other princes and princesses. I wonder if they are all right?"

This is the most difficult question for Li Shimin to answer.
