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

"Say it! Who the hell is it! Ah......" Li Shimin was so excited that he couldn't help but sit up from the couch, not wanting to affect the injury in his leg, so he let out a painful snort.

Another imperial physician hesitated for a moment and whispered, "The first one is Mr. Sun, the director of our Imperial Hospital. However, Mr. Sun likes to travel all over the world and has not appeared in the capital for three years. ”

"Don't ramble, tell me who the second one is!" Li Yuan pinched the imperial doctor's throat and roared. Among his sons, his favorite and most capable is this second son Li Shimin. Now, seeing that the desire to seize the world is about to come true, but this second son has a broken leg and is about to become a cripple, how can Li Yuan not be anxious?

"Uh-uh." The imperial doctor was almost out of breath by him, and he danced for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence, "The second is Gao Niangniang, the queen of the dynasty." ”

Gao Xiu'er had already followed Liu Ziqiu to the West Sea, which was something that Li Yuan and the others all knew. Even if Gao Xiu'er is still in the capital, the Li family wants to seize Liu Ziqiu's world, but I am afraid that she will not be willing to treat Li Shimin's injured leg, and this one is obviously not counted on. Li Yuan couldn't help but be annoyed: "Just say the third one!" ”

Several Imperial Physicians looked up at the sky together, and one of them muttered, "The other has turned into a dragon and gone!" ”

"You mean Liu Sigen?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and his heart gradually sank. Of the three people who could treat his leg injury, two of them were actually Liu Ziqiu's closest relatives, and they were the two people he had kidnapped back then, so it was obviously impossible to help him. The remaining one is not in the capital at all, and even if he is in the capital, it is impossible to help him. As the prime minister, Li Shimin has access to more secrets, and naturally knows that the relationship between Sun Simiao and Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiuer is extraordinary, although he is not a relative, he is better than a relative. Li Shimin's eyes were glazed, and he suddenly felt a sense of retribution.

Suddenly, Li Yuan pulled out his saber and stabbed it into the chest of the imperial doctor who had just said that Liu Sigen had turned into a dragon and left, and said viciously: "What is turning into a dragon and leaving!" It's clearly a dead ghost! You're going to be demagogic here! If there is any more gibberish, this person will be the end! ”

Li Shimin was awakened by the screams of the imperial doctor, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Father, it's too late, hurry up and send the child to the cabinet!" ”

They have only captured the palace now, and if they want to really control this country, they must first control the cabinet. The cabinet is the center of the entire imperial court, and only when the cabinet is controlled can it give orders to the government of the world. Although Li Shimin is the prime minister of the cabinet, the cabinet's deliberative system must be approved by a majority or more before resolutions and orders can take effect. Therefore, every member of the Cabinet has a very important position. Usually, Li Shimin behaves in a proper manner, and these scholars naturally have the same heart as him. Now that he has done such a shocking thing, it is difficult to say what position those scholars will stand on. If his estimate is right, those people are likely to propose that the binational congress remove him as prime minister and then bring him to justice.

Originally, Li Shimin had already planned to urgently convene a cabinet meeting before dawn, and detain all of them while these scholars had not yet figured out the situation. With a knife and axe on his neck, I don't believe that these guys refuse to surrender. However, Li Shimin was trampled on a war horse outside the palace gate and broke his leg, and he was unconscious for a while, and he was delayed for two hours in vain. Now, what Li Shimin is most afraid of is that these scholars have learned the truth and come up with countermeasures. You must know that in the cabinet, the wisdom of the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and others is not inferior to him at all.

…

Li Shimin's worries were not groundless, and when Li Yuan sent a team of men to carry Li Shimin to the cabinet yamen, he was stopped by soldiers.

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

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

The lieutenant arched his hand and said, "The Prime Minister can naturally go in, but those subordinates have never seen it, but they can't enter the cabinet casually!" ”

Li Shimin pointed to his injured leg and said coldly: "Bold! So-and-so has been injured like this, how can he get in! ”

Although he was facing the prime minister of the current dynasty, the captain was not afraid at all, and said again: "Your subordinates can let people carry the prime minister in!" ”

The outlaws who followed Li Shimin couldn't hold it anymore, and they pulled out their sabers one after another, shouting: "Bold! "Presumptuous!" "Kill them!"

The lieutenant sneered: "The Prime Minister's family is so majestic, do you dare to break into the cabinet!" The subordinates are not easy to bully! ”

After speaking, the lieutenant slapped his face lightly, and the two vermilion lacquer gates of the cabinet yamen suddenly separated on both sides, and a group of soldiers rushed out from inside, numbering thousands. Looking through the gate, you can see that the courtyard of the cabinet yamen is crowded with soldiers.

Li Shimin couldn't help but be taken aback: "They transferred troops?" ”

Normally, there are no more than 500 soldiers guarding the cabinet yamen. However, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, each cabinet member had the right to transfer an additional 1,000 soldiers. Looking at the situation inside the yamen, it is clear that more than one scholar has used his transfer authority. Although the Cabinet Officers can transfer troops, these soldiers are not completely at their disposal. Because after all, university scholars are different from generals, they usually do not lead troops, and there is no intimate connection between them and soldiers. When they commit acts that violate the laws of the Great Han, there is a high probability that the soldiers will refuse to carry out their orders. It is precisely for this reason that Li Shimin did not use his right to transfer troops. Because he knew very well that even when Zhang Liang led his soldiers to attack the palace, there were many soldiers who hesitated.

Also because of the restriction that he could not transfer troops at will, he now had less than 3,000 available troops, including the 1,000 soldiers under Li Yuanji guarding the south gate. It is still difficult to say whether the 1,000 soldiers will rebel with them when they reach the critical moment. It's just that because he broke his leg and was delayed for two hours, he lost the opportunity as a result, and the good situation is likely to be overturned.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain in his legs and the chagrin in his heart, and said loudly: "Okay, you carry a certain person in!" ”

Soon, four soldiers walked out from behind the captain, took the soft frame, lifted Li Shimin and walked inside. And the more than 100 guards brought by Li Shimin could only stare dryly, and no one dared to be as arrogant as just now. After all, the opponent's strength is dozens of times that of theirs, and it is a well-trained warrior. If they dare to break in, I'm afraid there won't even be scum left.

…

The cabinet yamen was very quiet, except for Li Shimin, the other six scholars were already in place. The Cabinet is responsible for handling a large number of concerts and important affairs reported from all over the country, and it is rare to take a few days off throughout the year. However, today's six scholars obviously knew about last night's events, otherwise they would not have been able to easily exercise the right to transfer troops. Now that they knew that there had been a major change in the palace, where did they still have the heart to deal with the music and affairs, and they were waiting for Li Shimin's arrival there with gloomy faces.

Soon, Li Shimin was escorted by four soldiers to the cabinet hall. He stood up half of his body, arched his hand towards everyone, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Du Ruhui is a real person, and when he saw Li Shimin's appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Prime Minister, why is this?" ”

Li Shimin sighed and said, "There was a sudden change in the palace last night, I think you already know about it. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "Although we knew that something had happened in the palace, we were limited by the curfew and did not dare to visit. Now that the palace has been locked, the guards at the head of the city are silent, and we really don't know what is happening in the palace. Just in case, we have already discussed it, and we have sent troops to the cabinet to gather. I don't know what is the reason for the Prime Minister's leg? ”

Li Shimin sighed: "In this way, Li has violated the order. Yesterday, when he heard the sound of shouting and killing in the palace, Li was so anxious that he forgot about the curfew, and hurriedly took the house slave to find out, and unexpectedly bumped into the general Zhang Liang. It turned out that Zhang Liang rebelled and was leading his troops and horses to attack the palace. Li hurriedly led the house slaves to the rescue, but he didn't want to fall off his horse in the chaos and broke a leg. ”

When the scholars heard that Li Shimin had witnessed the battle in the palace last night, they didn't care if he violated the curfew, and they all asked, "What's going on?" "The emperor treats Zhang Liang well, why did he rebel?" "What is the situation in the palace?"

Li Shimin saw that everyone hadn't suspected him yet, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, but his face showed a painful voice, and he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Li is still late." At that time, the palace gate had been broken by Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang was carrying a knife to kill people indiscriminately inside. Li's subordinates are just some domestic slaves, no match for Zhang Liang's elite soldiers, and even Li only escaped with his life. ”

Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "Du was watching at home last night, only to see a fire rising in the direction of the palace, and to see His Royal Highness the eldest prince riding the dragon away, I don't know why?" ”

Li Shimin didn't scold Du Ruhui this time, but just nodded and said: "Li was in the palace at that time, because he broke a leg and couldn't walk, he watched a high wall in the palace suddenly explode, splashing rocks, and smashing all those rebels to death, but there was no one left, even Zhang Liang's head was smashed." ”

His words were half-truthful, but they did not arouse the suspicion of the scholars.

The eldest grandson Wuji asked with concern: "I have all seen the eldest prince riding the dragon with the firelight, but I haven't seen the other princes and princesses, I wonder if they are okay?" ”

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