Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Jia Xiu stood above the court hall and said in a loud voice: "My Majesty, I believe that the title of princess is only obtained by my in-laws of the Tuoba clan of the Great Wei Dynasty. Although the prime minister has made contributions to the court, but he has a foreign surname, and his wife How can the emperor confer the title of princess? This is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette and must never be done!"

Jia Xiu's words were in line with the wishes of all the officials and the emperor.Yi Hun's meritorious service was high, but the emperor and the empress dowager had appointed him prime minister and king of Taiyuan, and his status was higher than that of the three princes and the kings of the vassals, so no further awards could be made.What's more, the ancients valued etiquette. Although Yi Hun had great achievements, he was also a foreign surname. How could he pretend to be the title of the royal family?

Emperor Xianwen saw that Yi Hun's face was contorted with anger, and he couldn't help feeling secretly proud.Seeing that Jia Xiu and Yi Hun had a rift, and the Queen Mother's strategy had begun to produce miraculous results, he decided to strike while the iron was hot, further deepening the conflict between Jia Xiu and Yi Hun.

Emperor Xianwen deliberately asked: "Jia Aiqing's words are very kind! However, the couplet is not clear. Since Mr. Jia thinks that the prime minister's wife should not be rewarded as a princess, why did he invite Yulian to recommend the prime minister's wife as a princess?"

Yi Hun, who was already furious, heard Emperor Xianwen's question, and wanted to understand the reason in his heart, so he calmed down for a while, stood on the golden hall, and said nothing.

Jia Xiu said calmly: "Your Majesty, someone from the Prime Minister's mansion came to Wei Chen's mansion yesterday and said to Wei Chen: "The Prime Minister has a high merit, Mr. Jia is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he should be the Prime Minister's wife in front of the Emperor. I want to get the title of princess!'. I know that the prime minister is loyal and brave, and he must not destroy the ritual system and disrupt the court guidelines, so I think that this must be someone from the prime minister's mansion, who is telling the minister privately without telling the prime minister."

"The prime minister has high authority, and it is common for people who want to please the prime minister. My minister wants to refuse people, but the master of the prime minister's mansion uses his words to force people, and even uses the power of the prime minister to force me. If the minister refuses to come, that person will hold a grudge, and speak too much about my humble minister in front of the prime minister."

"I also think that even if I refuse, that person will find someone else to ask the matter in the court. I have a good relationship with the prime minister. Knowing that the prime minister exercises great power and decides the affairs of the world, there are many people who offend Therefore, I am deeply afraid that the flatterers in the prime minister's mansion will secretly please the prime minister and lobby everywhere. If this matter is obtained by someone the prime minister hates, he will make a big fuss and trap the prime minister into injustice!"

"That's why I thought about it again and again, and I agreed to this matter. I have invited the emperor to let the prime minister understand that there are unrighteous people in his house who secretly concealed the prime minister and did things that are not good for the prime minister. I know that the prime minister will get Hearing this, he must also be furious. After retiring from the court, he must purge his subordinates to eliminate hidden dangers. The minister first played to ask the emperor, and then the emperor must not accept this play. Speak your ears!"

Emperor Xianwen praised him deliberately, and then asked Yihun, "Prime Minister, do Jia Aiqing's words fit the Prime Minister's intention?"

In Jia Xiuzhi's words, it can be said that he used both soft and hard tactics against Yihun, hiding the needle in the cotton.The way to elevate Yi Hun to a high position, then publicly expose Yi Hun in the court, and then seal Yi Hun's desire with words, and then try to make his wife a princess, is extremely clever.

Although he openly confronted Yi Hun, he also knew that Yi Hun was powerful.If Yi Hun's ambitions are publicly exposed, it will definitely involve his collusion with Yi Hun.If this is the case, even if the emperor can punish Yi Hun for his crime, he will be implicated in it.What's more, the emperor at this time is still unable to punish Yi Hun's crime. If Yi Hun is forced to rebel rashly, he may be destroyed.

Although Yi Hun was furious, he was not irrational.He listened to Murong Baiyao's words, the time for rebellion is not yet ripe, and those who want to achieve great things must first learn to endure humiliation.

Even though Jia Xiu was against him, she never broke her face.Yi Hun thought that it was just Jia Xiu's resentment for not getting the post of Taiwei, so today's incident happened.Jia Xiu never said anything about Yi Hun's collusion with him, which shows that Jia Xiu also had a lot of worries in his heart, and he didn't dare to fully confront himself.

Seeing Emperor Xianwen asking himself, Yi Hun was annoyed and didn't say a word.Emperor Xianwen asked again and again, Yi Hun woke up suddenly, knowing that he had lost the courtesy of a monarch and minister, and hurriedly replied: "I report to the emperor, I don't know anything about this matter. Lord Jia has a good intention, and I am also grateful for his kindness. After the minister returns to the mansion, he will clean up the subordinates, and once found out, he will be severely punished."

Emperor Xianwen smiled and said: "The prime minister is a loyal and upright man! Dear friends, I have heard that the prime minister has a high position and authority, and he persecutes those who have different political opinions with his own selfishness. Today, above the court, the officials Shangshu Jia Xiu said, you must think that Jia Xiu offended the prime minister, and the prime minister would want to kill him. However, the prime minister's high righteousness, not only did not offend Jia Xiu, but also said that he was grateful for Jia Xiu's kindness, which shows the prime minister's mind. The words and deeds of the prime minister should be I am a role model for the officials of the Great Wei!"

Emperor Xianwen praised Jia Xiu again, saying that he was upright, and wanted to reward Jia Xiu.Jia Xiu said sternly: "Your Majesty, how dare I ask the Emperor to grant you a reward for something that is within my duty? I am not afraid of the rumors spread by those who intend to slander the prime minister for what I say today. Is it appropriate to have a common surname? Minister Jia Xiuning chooses to die today, and does not want to make fun of it in future generations. Kuang Prime Minister’s loyalty is self-evident in Jia Xiu’s heart, and today’s events are also Jia Xiu taking the opportunity to rectify the prime minister’s name!”

Emperor Xianwen was greatly impressed, and in front of all the officials, he issued a decree to reward Yihun and Jia Xiu with gold, silver, silk and silk.

Emperor Xianwen was soft but firm, not only stopped Yihun's selfish desires, but also praised Yihun with words to save Jia Xiu's life.All civil and military officials were convinced that they were more convinced by Emperor Xianwen's wisdom.The officials were very happy, they understood the emperor's intention, it was definitely not a child's play, but an extraordinary strategy.

Jia Xiu used to be Yi Hun's best friend, now Jia Xiu also started to oppose Yi Hun, and got the emperor's words to protect him from death. to the emperor.

All the ministers knelt down and said that the emperor was holy and the prime minister was righteous.Yi Hun had no choice but to push the boat along with the current and worship Emperor Xianwen with all the officials.

After retiring from the court, Yi Hun thought about the words of the emperor, so he summoned the people who sent orders to Jia Xiu, and did not allow him to say a word, but beheaded him to show his determination to purge his subordinates.

Those who follow Yihun, seeing Yihun killing those who are loyal to him, are all terrified, fearing that one day, this bad luck will befall them.Therefore, many people who followed Yihun began to leave a way of retreat in secret. Although they were respectful to Yihun on the surface, they dared not contribute any more to Yihun.

Yi Hun felt that the little emperor was becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and he already sensed the danger of the little emperor's soft knife facing him.Yihun secretly met Murong Baiyao and asked him about countermeasures.

Murong Baiyao said: "Prime Minister, today's court affairs, the Prime Minister knows that it is in danger? Although the emperor is young, he is talented and intelligent, and has great talents. The Prime Minister must not underestimate him!"
