Power in the World: After Eternal Age

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and more and more people come to watch the history of the country engraved on the stone tablet.People began to talk about it. They saw all kinds of disgraceful things recorded in the history of the Xianbei people when they made a fortune, and this matter quickly reached the ears of Emperor Taiwu.

The literati headed by Situ Cui Hao received an order from Emperor Taiwu that the history of the country must be written according to historical facts.If they don't write it truthfully, they are resisting the decree, which is a serious crime of beheading.Therefore, the literati all recorded honestly.But they didn't expect that after the history of the country was completed and written on the stone tablet, Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao would make Longyan furious.

The person who is the emperor is the only one in the world, so naturally he has nothing to be afraid of.But emperors all have a strong sense of vanity, what they are most afraid of is that after his death, something dishonorable will be left in the history books and be pointed out by others.

Hearing the secret report, the official historian recorded all the shameful things of the Xianbei people and engraved them on stone tablets for people all over the world to watch at will. Emperor Taiwu Longyan was furious and determined to "violently promote the evil of the country".He ordered Cui Hao and his subordinates to be arrested and executed.

When Emperor Taiwu issued an edict, Prince Tuobahuang knew about it and was very anxious.Prince Tuobaxian knew that Gao Yun was doomed, the prince was kind and loved talents, when Gao Yun was serving, he had a teacher-student friendship, knew that Gao Yun was a good person, talented and learned, and determined to find a way to save Gao Yun's life.

After the court was dispersed in the palace, all civil and military officials took turns to be on duty.It happened that Gao Yun was on shift in Zhongshu Province that day, so the crown prince Tuobahuang sent someone to call Gao Yun.When Gao Yun came to the East Palace, the prince didn't say anything to him, but let Gao Yun live in the East Palace.The next day when he was going to court, the prince asked Gao Yun to enter the palace with him in the same car.After entering the palace, before going to the hall, the crown prince took care of him, and when he saw the emperor questioning him, you must remember to speak according to my tone.

Gao Yun was very puzzled and asked Prince Tuobahuang what happened!The prince said, don't ask anything, after meeting the emperor, you can just say what I want.After entering the palace and going up to court, the prince took the initiative to report to Emperor Taiwu, saying that Gao Yun had been serving in the East Palace for a long time. , implore the emperor to pardon him.

The prince knew in his heart that, as the main person in charge of compiling the history of the country, Cui Hao would never be able to keep him, he would definitely die, and Gao Yun must be kept no matter what.Therefore, the method adopted by the crown prince was to put all the faults on Situ Cui Hao, who was bound to die.

Emperor Taiwu naturally understood that Gao Yun had been in the East Palace for many years, and now he was mainly the Minister of Zhongshu Province, in charge of the affairs of Zhongshu Province. Gao Yun had not yet played a key role in the history of the country.Taiwu Emperor Tuobahuang knew that the prince wanted to be a teacher and a student, so he wanted to protect Gao Yun.Emperor Taiwu liked this son, and also deliberately pretended to be confused, and was about to let Gao Yun go, so he asked Gao Yun, "Is it all Cui Hao's fault?"

If Gao Yun followed the wishes of the prince and Emperor Taiwu and immediately nodded in agreement, he would be pardoned.However, he is a scholar with a haughty backbone, so he actually replied: "Your Majesty, "Tai Zu Ji" was written by Deng Yuan, and Cui Hao and I wrote "Xian Di Ji" and "Ji Ji" about Emperor Ming and Yuan. Cui Hao has a lot of affairs, but he is only responsible for the overall situation, and there are more ministers than Cui Hao for specific annotations."

Emperor Taiwu was furious, Cui Hao had wiped out the five clans, could Gao Yun not kill them?The prince hurriedly reported to his father that Gao Yun was a small official.Seeing that the emperor was furious, he was confused and didn't know what to say.Emperor Taiwu knew that the crown prince excused Gao Yun, suppressed his anger, gave Gao Yun another step, and asked Gao Yun, "Is it as Donggong said?"

Gao Yun said: "Your Majesty, my minister Gao Yun knows that he has violated Tianwei, and the three clans will definitely be wiped out when he judges the crime. I dare not tell lies. In fact, the prince thought that I had taught him and pity me, so he deliberately said this for me. absolve."

Gao Yun is such a person, typical bookish, unwilling to flatter and tell lies.Emperor Taiwu was angry and moved by it, so he said to the prince: "It's rare for someone like Gao Yun to be a loyal minister. In the face of life and death, he can still insist on telling the truth. It's very rare. I would rather kill one less and forgive him." "

Emperor Taiwu ordered Cui Hao to be passed on, so that other ministers could try Cui Hao.Cui Hao was also flustered, mainly because he wanted to hurt his family and friends.Although Emperor Taiwu pardoned Gao Yun, he still sent eunuchs to interrogate Gao Yun and Cui Hao, and Gao Yun answered in an orderly manner.Emperor Taiwu was so angry that he couldn't spare Gao Yun even if he wanted to. After all, Gao Yun made the emperor unable to step down.

Knowing that the prince wanted to protect Gao Yun, he asked Gao Yun to draft an edict explaining why Cui Hao and others had to be killed.Gao Yun was taken to the side hall to draft the imperial edict, but there was no movement for a long time.Emperor Taiwu sent someone to urge him, but Gao Yun said that he hadn't finished writing it.Later, the eunuch reported that Gao Yun had something to report to the emperor in person.

After the guards escorted Gao Yun, Gao Yun said: "Where Hao is sitting, if there is more quarrel, I dare not know it. If I violate it, I will not be guilty of death. I don't know if Cui Hao has other crimes." ;If it was just because Cui Hao compiled the "Records of the State" and offended Tianwei, the crime would not be to beheaded. When the history of the country was compiled, the emperor himself said that it must be recorded, and the emperor could not go back on what he said!"

Emperor Taiwu was very angry, but he couldn't help it. He did say it.And there is really no other sin.If you don't kill him, what's your face?So Emperor Taiwu thought of a decent way, and ordered Cui Hao to kill the five clans, and the others only killed himself.The emperor gained a good reputation, adhered to the principle, was magnanimous, and accepted advice humbly.Do not kill Gao Yun, and adopted his suggestion.At that time, when he was about to be sentenced, a senior official among the 1 (who was punished) lamented that Gao Yun is really a saint!

—Gao Yun, who is impoverished, the second advantage is that he can control the country with his pen.He is a well-known upright official who can insist on correcting the emperor's mistakes.I can't change my straightforward temper.After Emperor Wencheng, it was still like this.Emperor Wen Cheng liked him very much.Once Emperor Wencheng said: "Gao Yun is a loyal minister. I have right and wrong, and I always talk about it face to face. Those who I don't like to hear, talk eloquently..."

Emperor Wen Cheng appreciated Gao Yun, and after he finished his praise, he changed the subject and began to criticize others, and promoted Yun to be the order of Zhongshu.Pingyuan Wang Luli said that Gao Yun's family was very poor, and he could not be rewarded by the court. Officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty had no salary, and his rank was small, so they could not be rewarded. Gao Yun's wife and children had a difficult life.

Emperor Wen Cheng was very angry and angrily reprimanded Lu Li for not saying it earlier.At that time, Emperor Wen Cheng and his empress Feng Yuan led civil and military officials to Gao Yun's house. They saw that there were only a few thatched huts in the house. The kitchen is just salty.Emperor Wen Cheng was deeply moved and rewarded him on the spot.Gao Yun's poverty is firstly due to his lack of corruption, and secondly because of the rewards he received to help poorer people.
