Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Zhongshu's servant Tuoba Ming heard the words of Emperor Xianwen, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious.He thought that since Emperor Xianwen could not punish Li Fu for this matter, why did he secretly call him into the palace?

Tuoba Ming suddenly became nervous, and he even began to wonder if Emperor Xianwen also liked Li Fu, so he was extremely dissatisfied with his secret report on Li Fu, and called him into the palace to secretly punish him.

Tuoba Ming, Zhongshu's servant, thought of this result, and couldn't help being terrified. He lay down in front of Emperor Xianwen and trembled: "I deserve death for my crimes. Please forgive me. I will never dare to falsely accuse Lord Zhongshu Supervisor again!"

Emperor Xianwen smiled slightly and said, "Aiqing is flat! Everything you have said is true. How can you make a false accusation? You are innocent and have meritorious service!"

Tuoba Ming became confused for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Xianwen's gourd.Emperor Xianwen pondered for a while and said: "Tuoba Ming, you should follow the Lian's instructions. After the matter is completed, Lian will seal you as the supervisor of Zhongshu!"

Tuoba Ming was overjoyed, and prostrated himself on the ground to ask for Emperor Wen's will.Emperor Xianwen said slowly, "Tuoba Ming, Lian will decree tomorrow that you will be cut off from your position as Zhongshu servant."

Tuoba Ming's face turned pale with fright, and he intuitively felt that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the power of heaven is unfathomable.Emperor Xianwen smiled and said: "Don't worry about your love! The joint cut of your position is to cover up people's eyes and ears! The joint has another important use for Ai Qing!"

Tuoba Ming was surprised and delighted, and Emperor Xianwen said slowly: "Tuoba Ming, I will give you a secret decree to see you at the top level. Keep your affairs secret, and go to Xiangzhou as soon as possible to arrest Li Xin in secret. No matter what you use As long as you can get Li Xin to confess Li Fu's crimes, you will have made great achievements, and I will make you the supervisor of Zhongshu."

Tuoba Ming comprehended the meaning of Emperor Xianwen and retreated after accepting the secret decree.On the next day at the court hall, Emperor Xianwen removed Tuoba Ming from the position of Minister of Zhongshu in front of all civil and military officials.In the second year of Emperor Xianwen's pro-government, he often appointed and dismissed officials, so none of the officials thought that Emperor Xianwen had other deep meanings in dismissing Tuoba Ming.

Even Li Fu didn't think about Emperor Xianwen's real intentions. He had been at odds with Tuoba Ming, the servant of Zhongshu, and when he saw Emperor Xianwen dismiss him from office, he was very happy and didn't think too much about why.

Tuoba Ming received the secret decree and led hundreds of guards and imperial guards to go straight to Xiangzhou.Arriving at Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, Tuoba Ming led a group of guards to surround him, brought a dozen guards into the mansion himself, and sat in the lobby.

Li Xin was shocked when he saw the imperial guards surrounded his governor's mansion.Tuoba Ming ordered the guards to tightly seal the governor's mansion, turning the whole governor's mansion into a prison, and detaining Li Xin and his family members.

Tuoba Ming took the firewood room of the governor's mansion as a punishment room, and he ordered the guards to take off Li Xin's shirt and hang him on the beam.Tuoba Ming asked: "Li Xin, do you know your crime?"

Seeing this situation, Li Xin knew that the court had learned about the corruption, and he did not deny it, but admitted it.Tuoba Ming said angrily: "Li Xin, the matter has come to this, how dare you take charge of it all, but excuse Li Fu as the main criminal?"

Li Fu is kind to Li Xin, and has a very good personal relationship with Li Xin.Therefore, when Tuoba Ming asked him to say that Li Fu was the mastermind of his corruption, Li Xin was still bloody and refused to frame Li Fu to the death.

Tuoba Ming was furious, and ordered the guards to hang Li Xin and torture him.The guards beat Li Xin until he was covered in scars, passed out several times, and woke up with cold water several times, but Li Xin still refused to frame Li Fu.In a rage, Tuoba Ming used all kinds of torture on Li Xin, but Li Xin gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

Tuoba Ming was furious, and seeing that torture had no effect, he switched to coercion and lure.Tuoba Ming told Li Xin that if he could find out that Li Fu was the mastermind of corruption, then he would be able to pay off the merits and save the lives of Li Xin's family.Li Xin still has a conscience, he is very unwilling to do this, and hates this kind of confession.He also understood that the court was not against him, and the main target was not himself but Li Fu.Thinking of Li Fu's kindness to him, Li Xin still resolutely refused to recruit.

In desperation, Tuoba Ming sent guards to summon Li Xin's son-in-law, Pei You.Tuoba Ming threatened Pei You that if he could not persuade his father-in-law Li Xin to admit that Li Fu was the mastermind of the corruption case, Tuoba Ming could follow the emperor's secret decree to kill Li Xin's clan.

Pei You was terrified, and was taken by the guards to visit his father-in-law Li Xin in the chaifang of the Governor's Mansion.Pei You begged Li Xin to obey Tuoba Ming's words and confess Li Fu as the mastermind of the corruption case, so that the whole family of Li Fu could be saved.

Li Xin said to his son-in-law Pei You: "Let me expose and falsely accuse Li Fu. I will never do this. Although our family and Li Fu's family are far away in genealogy, I have a good friendship with Li Fu, and he knows me well. Grace. One must never be so heartless, therefore, I cannot falsely accuse Mr. Li Fu for no reason."

Pei You sighed: "Father-in-law, didn't you see it? Tuoba Ming came to interrogate you under the order. Obviously, his target is not you, but wants you to identify Li Fu!"

Li Xin said: "Of course I can see this, but I don't know what kind of feud between Tuoba Ming and Master Li Fu, let alone what crime Li Fu and Master Li will do. Tuoba Ming wants me to expose Li Fu, But I don't know anything, what can I do? I can't bear Tuoba Ming's abuse of torture, forcing me to frame a good person, so yesterday I wanted to kill myself for this, I stabbed myself with a hairpin, and hanged myself!"

Pei You sighed: "Why bother to die for Li Fu, my father-in-law? According to my opinion, this is not because Tuoba Ming has enmity with Li Fu, but deliberately made it difficult for my father-in-law to let you report Li Fu. This must be the intention of the court. Ba Ming is just acting according to the order. Why does the current emperor do this? It must be because Li Fu has a good reputation as an official, but the emperor is not happy with Li Fu, just because his father-in-law has committed corruption. Li Fu has a very close personal relationship, so he feels that the opportunity has come. The emperor must think that if his father-in-law can report Li Fu, all officials will not dare to be suspicious, and the emperor will have a reason to punish Li Fu."

"Judging from the attitude of the emperor instructing Tuoba Ming, the Li Fu brothers must have committed something that the emperor taboos. If the emperor angers a courtier, the importance of this matter must be clearer than me, father-in-law. Even if you don't expose Li Fu Fu, if the emperor punishes Li Fu for his crimes, the court will still punish them. The emperor ordered his father-in-law to report Li Fu, just for the sake of saving face."

After hearing the words of his son-in-law Pei You, Li Xin looked around and felt that what Pei You said was true.Shaken in his heart, he decided to report Li Fu to save his own life.What made Li Xin embarrassed was that he really couldn't find any charges for reporting Li Fu.

At this time, Tuoba Ming heard that Li Xin was willing to report Li Fu, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.He found a descendant named Feng Chan, who had been dealt with by Li Fu in the past and was killed.Therefore, the Feng family and Li Fu's family have a sworn feud.Under Tuoba Ming's instruction, Li Xin found Feng Chan's younger brother. He conspired with Feng Chan's younger brother, not only charged Li Fuluo with corruption, but also charged Li Fuluo with a terrible crime: treason!
