Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Chapter 13 Cui Hao's Imprisonment

In the Crown Prince's East Palace, a small yellow gate rushed inside to report to the Crown Prince: "His Royal Highness, King Tuoba Yu of Nan'an is outside the palace and wishes to see the Crown Prince."

Prince Tuoba Huang was startled and said, "King Nan'an has returned to the capital? When did he come back? Did you go to see Father and Queen?"

Xiao Huangmen replied: "His Royal Highness, the King of Nan'an has just arrived in Beijing and has not yet rested. First come to pay homage to His Royal Highness."

Tuoba Jun looked at the prince and said, "My lord, the King of Nan'an came to pay his respects to his lord first before seeing the emperor and his mother. This seems to be inappropriate, and my lord needs to think carefully."

The prince nodded and said: "My son is right. When I went back to King Nan'an, I said that the prince is not in good health. I will see you another day."

Xiao Huangmen said: "No!" Just as he was about to leave the palace to reject King Nan'an, Feng Yuan said from the side: "Slow! Your Highness, my daughter has something to say, please think twice about it."

The crown prince waved his hand, and the little yellow door stepped aside, Feng Yuan said: "Your highness, my daughter heard that the king of Nan'an likes hunting, loves calligraphy and painting, loves to have fun, and likes to make friends. Your highness may as well summon the king of Nan'an and invite him to visit the Temple of Heaven. When the King of Nan'an saw the forest of steles of "Records of the Kingdom" in the Temple of Heaven, he must have admired Cui Hao's calligraphy, so great things can be accomplished."

Tuoba Jun was pleasantly surprised: "Father, Feng Yuan's words are reasonable. If King Nan'an came forward, he would be shocked when he saw what was written in the forest of steles. King Nan'an is a person who is very happy, and he will secretly report back to the emperor overnight. The emperor loves King Nan'an If you believe his words deeply, Cui Hao will be in danger."

Crown Prince Tuobahuang pondered and said again and again: "This plan is very clever! In this way, I can also avoid being involved in the disaster of "National History", and it is more convenient to excuse Gao Yun with a fair attitude. Call Nan'an King to come in!"

Xiaohuangmen left in response, and after a while, more than 20 family members entered the East Palace carrying gifts, and Tuoba Yu, king of Nan'an, greeted His Highness the Crown Prince with a full face.

After the two brothers saluted each other, the crown prince Tuobahuang said: "King Nan'an, why didn't you come to me instead of meeting the emperor father and queen mother first? This is against etiquette."

The King of Nan'an laughed and said, "Your Highness, my younger brother has been deeply in love with His Highness since childhood. Now that I have returned to the capital, I haven't had a rest to take a shower and change clothes. How can I meet my father and queen in such a distressed state? Therefore, I will prepare a few local products of Wu, and come to see His Highness first. "

The prince thanked him, and King Nan'an said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, I have been away from the capital for a long time. I wonder if there is anything interesting in the capital?"

The prince smiled and said: "King Nan'an, in the capital, the subjects are all happy to go to the Temple of Heaven to see the forest of steles."

Tuobayu, king of Nan'an, said in surprise, "His Royal Highness, the forest of steles? Please also ask His Royal Highness to explain it to my younger brother."

The prince replied: "King of Nan'an, do you know that the emperor ordered Situ Cui Hao and Master Cui to major in "History of the Country"? Master Cui worked hard all his life and finally completed the masterpiece "History of the Country". In today's world, Master Cui's calligraphy is unmatched. With the permission of the father and emperor, Master Cui's handwriting was specially approved, and the stonemason was engraved on the stone stele, which eventually became a forest of steles. The forest of steles is now the first wonder of the Wei Dynasty, and scholars, scholars, merchants, and ordinary people all over the world enthusiastically went to see it. Nan'an Wang Ya is very interesting, why don't you go for a visit?"

The king of Nan'an was overjoyed upon hearing the words, and invited the prince to go with him.The prince readily agreed, and went privately with Tuoba Jun and Feng Yuanwei, the king of Nan'an.

The forest of steles is magnificent, and Cui Hao's handwriting is even more impressive, which amazed the King of Nan'an.After watching for a while, King Nan'an's face gradually became serious, and he didn't say a word.

The prince deliberately said: "King Nan'an, why is your face so unhappy? Could it be that Situ Cui Hao's book is quite flawed?"

The King of Nan'an hastily covered it up and said: "Brother Wang, it's not true. The younger brother was tired from driving and horses, and I felt unwell just now. Brother Wang, let's go back! The younger brother will take care of him for a day, and tomorrow he will have to visit his father and mother."

Prince Tuobahuang was secretly happy, knowing that Feng Yuan's plan had come true.He always knew that his father Tuoba Tao doted on Nan'an King, but because of etiquette, he made his eldest son Tuoba Huang the crown prince. , I strongly recommend Emperor Taiwu to establish the prince early.

Now that the king of Nan'an sees that "Guo Ji" is not good for the Great Wei, he must make use of "Guo Ji" to make a big fuss in order to eradicate differences and win the favor of Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Huang, thus coveting the crown prince.

Not long after Prince Tuobahuang returned to the mansion, he received a secret report from Xiaohuangmen, saying that King Nan'an had quietly entered the palace.The prince was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Gao Yun, the servant of Zhongshu, to come to the prince's mansion to discuss matters.

Tuobayu, king of Nan'an, entered the palace and reported the matter of the forest of steles to Emperor Taiwu.Emperor Taiwu smiled and said: "The emperor is worrying too much. This is a decree for the father to engrave a stele to show the world."

Nan'an Wang Tuobayu said: "Father, but the inscriptions are recorded according to historical facts. This is detrimental to the dignity of our royal family of Wei."

Emperor Taiwu said: "Imperial son, Cui Hao told my father about this matter, and my father authorized Cui Hao to write it according to historical facts."

Tuoba Yu said: "Father, you don't know something. Father's original intention was to compile "Guo Ji" as a reference to the history of the Great Wei royal family, in order to unify the world and stabilize the country forever. This book is written by the children of my royal family. Read, but Cui Hao misunderstood his father's meaning out of the desire for fame and fortune, and even wrote a special book about the history of my Great Wei Long Xing in the Great Xianbei Mountain in the book, and even made people engrave a stele on the side of the road, so that everyone in the world can enjoy it. You know, to slander our Great Wei royal family is really treasonous."

Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Huang was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what was going on.The king of Nan'an had a superb memory, and he recited word for word the anecdotes mentioned in the inscription when the Tuoba clan flourished in the Daxianbei Mountains, which were taboo to let outsiders know.

Emperor Taiwu was furious when he heard the words, and immediately issued an order to take Cui Hao and a group of ministers above the secretary's office to work in the prison.Tuobayu, king of Nan'an, resigned. Not long after, the eunuch came to report that all criminals in the secretary's house had been arrested and imprisoned, except Gao Yun, the servant of Zhongshu.

Emperor Taiwu was furious and ordered the whole city to arrest Gao Yun. At this moment, Huangmen reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see him.

The crown prince Tuobahuang knelt in front of Emperor Taiwu and said: "Father, Cui Hao is deceiving the world, and the father has already issued an order to capture him. It just so happens that Tai Fu Gaoyun is in my mansion, teaching the emperor to read and write. The son heard that the father was furious, and he couldn't help it. If you dare to be negligent, Gao Yun has already been taken down, and I am waiting for my father to punish me severely."

Emperor Taiwu said angrily: "Cui Hao is rebellious, Gao Yun is his deputy, and he should be punished together!"

The prince knelt down and said: "Father, my minister has something to say. Gao Yun, the servant of Zhongshu, is in the palace of my minister. After getting along with him for a long time, Gao Yun is cautious, and I know him very well. Although Gao Yun and Cui Hao work together , but his status is humble, and he can only obey Cui Hao. My minister begs to forgive his life, so as to protect my capable minister of the great Wei."

In a rage, Emperor Taiwu issued an order to arrest the officials of the secretary's mansion headed by Cui Hao. At this time, he felt a little regretful, but he was a golden man, and the imperial order was issued, how could he change it at will?Hearing that the crown prince tried his best to protect Gao Yun, Emperor Taiwu already had an idea in his mind.

Emperor Taiwu thought to himself, with Gao Yun's ability, he could not lose to Cui Hao.Although Kuang Gaoyun was a scholar, he was proficient in classics, history and art, and he was indeed a capable minister in governing the country.If Cui Hao is killed and Gao Yun is left behind, it will be possible to ensure that there will be no shortage of capable ministers in the Wei Dynasty.
