Power in the World: After Eternal Age

In the cold winter of October, Murong Baiyao came to Yihun's mansion, turned away from the left and right, and said to Yihun, "Prime Minister, winter is coming, what is the prime minister's plan?"

Yi Hun was stunned, and said in doubt: "Lord Murong, I will obey your words and hold back to wait for the right time. Lord Murong once offered advice to my prime minister. Although it is the best policy to force the little emperor to abdicate, you should also do a thorough job. Strategies. Winter is approaching, and Rouran in the north has also stopped its flags and drums, and will no longer invade the south. In the Southern Dynasty, Liu Song was infighting and unable to invade the north. At this time, the prime minister cannot mobilize the army and horses to prevent people from being suspicious. Therefore, the prime minister has made a plan. Let the army take advantage of the opportunity of the twelfth lunar month to rehabilitate and recuperate, and wait for the spring of the next year before making deployments and mobilizing troops from all walks of life to prevent the princes from all walks of life."

Murong Baiyao smiled and said: "What the prime minister thinks is the best strategy, and it is the one who will achieve great things! However, the prime minister is very thoughtful. Although the prime minister is in charge of various armies, he can still guarantee that when the prime minister raises an incident, all the armies will listen to the prime minister as much as possible." Fate?"

Yi Hun said disapprovingly: "It seems that there is no need to worry too much about it. The important positions in the army are all in the old department that has followed the prime minister for many years. I don't think there will be any serious problems!"

Murong Baiyao said: "The prime minister's prestige spreads among the armies of all walks of life, and the lower officials are not suspicious. However, the prime minister's policy is to force the emperor to abdicate. The army is just prepared for unexpected events. If the prime minister is the emperor, how can he govern the world? Since the founding of the dynasty by Emperor Daowu, the successive emperors have used martial arts to open up territories, but to rule the world, they must use civil servants! If the prime minister wants to be emperor, how can he not have the vision to rule the world?"

Yi Hun pondered for a long time, pointed up and praised: "This prime minister has always looked down on those pedantic civil servants, but after listening to Lord Murong's words, this prime minister suddenly became enlightened. If I am the emperor, I will use the post of Taiwei to Lord Murong."

Murong Baiyao thanked Yihun and said: "The emperor is young, but he is smart and wise, and has already shown his edge. If given time, I am afraid that the situation of the prime minister will not be good! Therefore, the officials thought that the prime minister will not have much time to prepare, and he will be forced to do so next year." Emperor Zen position, if you delay, you will fail!"

Yi Hun nodded his head and asked Murong Baiyao for advice on how to win the hearts of civil servants in the world.Murong Baiyao said: "The prime minister's power is in the court and the public, and the courtiers and Chinese officials are all critical of the prime minister. If the lower officials think that the prime minister wants to accept the courtier's heart, it is no longer advisable. However, with the prime minister's power, after forcing the emperor to stand on his own seat, You should be able to control all the officials in the court. Those who worry about the lower officials are officials from all over the world. After the prime minister establishes himself as the emperor, if he does not obey the prime minister's order, the world will be chaotic, and the future of the prime minister is uncertain!"

"That's why the next official thought of a plan. I want to win the hearts of all the officials in the world for the prime minister. I don't know what the prime minister means?"

Yihun was overjoyed and urged Murong Baiyao to make a grand plan.Murong Baiyao said: "Although the officials of this dynasty are conferred by the imperial court, they do not receive the imperial salary. In this cold winter, those who have land property among the hundreds of officials should have nothing to worry about; They can’t burn firewood to keep warm, and they don’t have to worry about food and clothing.”

"Moreover, since the first emperor, he has promoted Buddhism and built the Buddha statues in Yungang Grottoes with the power of the whole country. The lives of all officials are hard, and they can't live in fear. If the prime minister is at this time, a lot of money is scattered, and all officials are in the cold. Wouldn’t you be grateful for the prime minister’s money and be willing to use it for the prime minister?”

After Yi Hun thought about it, he laughed loudly, praised Murong Baiyao's words deeply, and said to Murong Baiyao: "Master Murong's plan is very clever. Although I am distributing money to all the officials today, after I win the world, is it possible that the whole world will Wang Tu, all the wealth in the world belongs to me. Today I am distributing the wealth, and it is only temporarily sent to the hands of hundreds of officials. In the future, it will be doubled. Lord Murong, this matter is troublesome for the prime minister. Lord Murong will take it on demand!"

Murong Baiyao repeatedly thanked him, took out the list he had prepared and asked Yi Hun to have a look.After a quick glance, Yi Hun called the person in charge of the account to enter the hall, and asked him to hand over all the amount according to the account book to Murong Baiyao.

Murong Baiyao was overjoyed, he offered this plan not because of Yi Hun, but because of his own plan.Murong Baiyao was greedy for money by nature, but he was loyal to the Tuoba clan.He conspired with Yihun just to seek Yihun's power and gain more benefits for himself, and he didn't want Yihun to really rebel.

He could see that all the officials of the imperial court had taken care of the little emperor, and Yi Hun forced the emperor to abdicate, and he was bound to encounter fierce opposition from all the officials and fail.If Yi Hun's plan fails, he will be killed by the emperor.If Yi Hun openly leads troops to rebel, although he can gain the upper hand for a while, but even if he kills the queen mother and the little emperor, so what?All the feudal lords of the world will join forces to crusade against Yihun, and at that time, Yihun will be defeated, and if the Tuoba family succeeds to the throne, they themselves will be punished for plotting against Yihun.

Therefore, Murong Baiyao offered Yi Hun a plan to recruit all the officials in the world, and he had his own plan in mind.He knew that Yihun was rich enough to rival a country, so he cheated Yihun of a large sum of money under the pretext of accepting all officials.If Yihun is defeated in the future, Murong Baiyao can also use this sophistry, saying that he bears the burden of humiliation, superficially obeys Yihun, but actually draws on Yihun's salary and defrauds him of his wealth, so that even if Yihun rebels, he will die because of insufficient military supplies defeat.

After Murong Baiyao obtained Yihun's large sum of money, he quietly ordered people to hide it, and then under Yihun's order, he traveled around the country.Everywhere he went, Murong Baiyao used Yi Hun's power to intimidate officials, extort money, and obtain large sums of money.

Murong Baiyao was cunning and scheming, he not only defrauded Yihun of his wealth, but also blackmailed all the officials. The two officials got rich and filled their own pockets.If the matter fails, he already has a plan to answer the emperor, saying that what he did was to arouse resentment against Yi Hun on purpose, and secretly help the emperor to eradicate Yi Hun.

Just after Murong Baiyao left Beijing, Empress Dowager Feng also began to take action intensively, carrying out the plan to kill Yihun.Under Feng Xi's internal and external contact, the princes and kings were told that they would go to Beijing together during the winter solstice festival to receive the Queen Mother's order secretly.

As the winter solstice was approaching, Emperor Xianwen listened to the advice of the Empress Dowager and issued an imperial edict to recall five uncles from other places, Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng.

These five imperial uncles are all close relatives of the Tuoba clan's royal family, and they all hold heavy soldiers.Among the five emperor's uncles, the one with the highest status and the strongest military force is Tuobatan. He was ordered by Emperor Wencheng to "envoy and hold festivals", which means that he can act on behalf of the emperor.The right to immediately arrest all civil and military officials and local officials of the court, and even kill them first.

Among the five emperor uncles, the one with the lowest status and the least military strength is Tuoba Xiaoxincheng.Although this Tuoba Xiaoxin City was the last one, and was granted the title of Jiyin King, he was proficient in the five strategies, had led an army to conquer, and was both wise and brave.

When Emperor Wencheng personally conquered Rouran, the King of Jiyin, Tuoba Xiaoxincheng, led troops to fight against the enemy. He ordered the soldiers to deliberately put anesthetics in the wine, pretending to be invincible, leaving the empty city and fleeing in a hurry. '.

It is recorded in the history books that "thieves come, they compete with each other when they are happy, drink, and talk about nothing."It means that when the enemy soldiers were complacent and thought they would win without a fight, Tuoba Xiaoxincheng suddenly led an army back.
