Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Empress Dowager Feng appointed Tuoba Pi as the General of Hussars, in charge of all the troops and horses in the world.He also issued a Yi decree not to pursue the old Yihun army, so that the generals will still take up their duties and guard the border. At the same time, five emperors, Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng, were appointed. The uncle led the army back to the fief, waiting for the court reward.

Yihun's old tribes were originally loyal and brave men, and they all made military exploits with Yihun's expeditions to the north and south.Although they were Yi Hun's subordinates, they were extremely loyal to the emperor.Yi Hun mobilized them, and no one knew that Yi Hun had the intention of treason.Seeing that Yi Hun was punished, and the five uncles of Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng led an army to press down on the border, they were all terrified.

Yihun's old tribes were all terrified, thinking that Yihun had conspired against him, and he must be imprisoned.The generals are restrained by the five imperial uncles, Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng, and they are not allowed to communicate with each other.The old tribe of Yihun thought that if they wanted to save their lives, they had to fight to the death with the emperors and uncles to break through the siege and go to Rouran in the north or Liu Song in the south.

Just when they were under siege, the Empress Dowager suddenly passed the decree to the barracks, in which the generals were commended for their hard work and great contributions. At the border, each has his own duties.Yihun's old tribe came back from a desperate situation, and they all felt the empress dowager's great virtue, and each expressed their loyalty to the imperial court.

Empress Dowager Feng solved the trouble of mutiny, retained the strength of the central government, and prevented the power of the princes and kings from becoming too strong. The world in the Northern Wei Dynasty was basically stable.Empress Dowager Feng's next strategy is to control the courtiers so that they can be used by the Empress Dowager.

Yu Wencheng, Empress Dowager Feng, and Emperor Xianwen's benevolent ministers, Pingyuan Wang Luli was killed by Yihun's coercive edict and tricked him into the capital.At the beginning, Mu Duohou, who pretended to offer advice to Yihun, really wanted to keep Lu Li, because Lu Li refused to listen to her dissuasion, caused Lu Li to be murdered by Yihun and committed suicide.Empress Dowager Feng was grateful for her kindness and decided to reuse Lu Li's son Lu Dingguo.

Lu Dingguo is the eldest son of Pingyuan King Lu Li. When Emperor Wencheng became emperor with Lu Li's support, he was still a baby.When Emperor Wencheng came to Lu Li's residence, he saw that Lu Dingguo was very cute and liked him very much, so he ordered Lu Dingguo to be raised in the palace.

Later, Tuobahong, the eldest son of Emperor Wencheng Tuoba Jun, was born. Like his elder brother, Lu Dingguo played and studied with the eldest son Tuobahong since he was a child.Tuoba Hong succeeded to the throne as Emperor Xianwen. After Yi Hun was executed, Empress Dowager Feng granted Lu Dingguo the title of King of the Eastern Commandery. Soon after, he was appointed Minister of the Palace, in charge of the guards inside and outside the Forbidden Palace.This Lu Dingguo, like his father Lu Li, was loyal to the Tuoba clan and the Queen Mother, and he was granted the title of Empress Dowager in the palace. He did his best and did not dare to neglect.With the arrangement of Empress Dowager Feng in this way, the safety of the imperial palace is guaranteed, and there is no longer any worry that there will be Yihun's remnant party in the court waiting for an opportunity to make trouble.

Although Empress Dowager Feng promoted Tuoba Pi to the rank of general of Hussars, it was just a stopgap measure.Tuoba Pi is old, and his talent is not outstanding.The Empress Dowager named him General Hussar, just to remember his meritorious service in killing Yihun. At the same time, using Tuoba Pi, who was old and not strong, to lead the army could also play a role in appeasing Yihun's old troops.

However, the Northern Wei Dynasty was beset by enemies, and the benevolent government alone could not guarantee the safety of the Northern Wei Dynasty.Therefore, Empress Dowager Feng transferred Longxi Wang Yuanhe back to the capital and was promoted to Taiwei.The position of Taiwei has the right to mobilize the world's army and horses, ranking first among the three princes.Empress Dowager Feng abolished Yihun's self-reliant prime minister position and restored the situation where the three princes restricted each other, so Yuanhe became the best candidate for Taiwei.

Yuanhe made great contributions when Zongai killed the emperor and supported Emperor Wencheng to ascend the throne.Emperor Dewencheng canonized him as the king of Longxi, and was ordered to guard Longxi. Emperor Wencheng concurrently served as the governor of Jizhou.Jizhou was one of the most affluent places in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Yuan He served as governor here for seven years.

Therefore, when Empress Dowager Feng killed Yihun, she wanted to repay Yuanhe's kindness in the past, and also liked Yuanhe's ability to command troops, so she wanted to make Yuanjia a Taiwei.Empress Dowager Feng announced the abolition of the prime minister's position in the court hall and the restoration of the three princes, deliberately letting the courtiers discuss the candidate for the Taiwei.

The courtiers talked a lot, and recommended many individuals for a while.Seeing that the courtiers were still arguing, Empress Dowager Feng proposed that Yuan He be added as empress dowager.The courtiers saw that the queen mother personally proposed that Jizhou was the best governed county in the Northern Wei Dynasty under the management of Wang Yuanhe in Longxi, and because of Yuanhe's high status and great contributions, he ranked above Situ Liuni, Sikong and their slaves If there is any objection, everyone praises the queen mother for her wise decision.

Empress Dowager Feng issued a decree to announce her return to Yuanjia from Yizhou, all of whom were Taiwei.Therefore, Taiwei Yuanhe, Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves are all close friends of Empress Dowager Feng, and they have a very good personal relationship with each other.

After the Empress Dowager Feng established the basic team to govern the world, she began to think about how to deal with the problem of Yihun's party members.She knew in her heart that when Yi Hun monopolized the power, there were quite a lot of flatterers among the officials.According to the policies of Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao and Wencheng Emperor Tuoba Jun at that time, those who participated in the rebellion or those associated with them would all be punished and killed.

Among the ministers, there are many people who worry about this day and night.Empress Dowager Feng knew in her heart that if the old policy was followed, there would be only one round of killings, and there would be no more than a hundred officials left in the court.She decided in her heart to implement a benevolent government and give the officials at fault a chance to repent and reform.

Therefore, after Empress Dowager Feng stabilized the army and established the core basic structure of the imperial court, the following important strategy was to reduce enemies and win people's hearts.Empress Dowager Feng clearly realized that Yi Hun was so rampant that he was not the only one doing it alone. There must be many followers, among whom there are many who follow the trend and seek personal gain.

Therefore, after Empress Dowager Feng came to the court to proclaim the regime, she would definitely deal with Yihun's party members to deter those who were disobedient in the world, but she had already decided to treat those who had followed Yihun differently.

Empress Dowager Feng divided the Yihun people into four categories according to different situations.The first type of people follow others' power and act as minions for tigers.Almost all of these people committed serious crimes, so the Queen Mother ordered them to kill all of them; the second type of people were those who got on a pirate ship by mistake and had done bad things before, but they were able to repent afterwards and no longer collude with Yi Hun.This type of person is represented by Jia Xiu. The Empress Dowager Feng issued an edict to remove Jia Xiu from his official position, demote him to a commoner, and pardon him from death;For this kind of people, Empress Dowager Feng ordered the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a careful inspection and punish them lightly; the fourth type of people did not take the initiative to curry favor with Yi Hun, but was forced by Yi Hun's power and had to be used by Yi Hun.For this part of the people, Empress Dowager Feng issued an imperial edict and did not hold them accountable, and they remained in their ranks and did not move.
