Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Tuoba Ming laughed and said: "Lord Inspector, I have been honored by the emperor to bestow on the official Zhongshujian. Although the reputation is good, it is not as good as your officials in the frontier!"

Li Shi said angrily: "Since I became the Governor of Western Yanzhou, I have been conscientious and hardworking. I have never dared to be indebted to the emperor. I have never accepted bribes or searched for people's money. How can there be so much talk? The emperor appointed you as the supervisor of Zhongshu. My eldest brother Li Fu What is your job now?"

Tuoba said in a dark tone: "Lord Inspector, please calm down! Li Fu, Lord Li is still in the position of Supervisor of Zhongshu, and he is highly valued by the emperor!"

Li Shi asked suspiciously: "How is this possible? The Zhongshu Supervisor can only be one, how can I appoint my elder brother and you as the Zhongshu Supervisor at the same time?"

Tuoba Ming smiled and said: "Master Inspector is really well versed in the official system of the imperial court, which makes the lower officials admire! Yes, there can only be one of the Zhongshu Supervisors! The lower officials are here to invite Lord Inspector. On the day that Lord Inspector arrives in Beijing, There is only one lower official in Zhongshujian."

Li Shi was shocked, knowing that something was wrong.Tuoba Ming snorted coldly and said, "Li Shi, Inspector of West Yanzhou, knelt down to accept the order!"

Tuoba Ming took out the secret decree from his sleeve, Li Shi could only kneel down to listen to Tuoba Ming's decree.After Tuoba Ming finished reading the speech, Li Shi shouted for innocence, but Tuoba Ming didn't care about this, and ordered the guards to take off Li Shi's official uniform immediately, put on the prison uniform that had been prepared, put him into the prison car, and immediately Take him to the capital.

Tuoba Ming ordered a team of guards to stay behind to guard the Governor's Mansion closely, not to let anyone out, while he himself led the team to rush to the capital.

When Li Shi, the governor of Western Yanzhou, was secretly escorted to the capital, Emperor Xianwen Tuo Bahong was overjoyed.He ordered Tuoba Ming to imprison Li Shi secretly in the prison, and then began to implement the plan to arrest Li Fu and Li Yi.

On the second day after Li Shi was taken into prison, Emperor Xianwen suddenly announced that he was going to the paddock to hunt.Emperor Xianwen specially appointed Taiwei Yuanhe, Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves and Zhongshu Supervisor Li Fu to accompany him, and appointed General Suwei Li Yi to accompany him.

The emperor hunted, which was commonplace in the Northern Wei Dynasty. None of the officials were suspicious, but envied these people for the opportunity to let the emperor appoint them to accompany them on the hunt.

When Emperor Xianwen was about to go to the paddock, Tuoba Ming quietly raised Li Shi from the prison.After the emperor led a group of officials into the paddock, a large number of imperial guards immediately blocked the entire paddock.

Emperor Xianwen summoned Sangong and Li Yi in the palace.After the five people visited Emperor Xianwen, Emperor Xianwen suddenly said, "Where are the guards? Have you taken down the rebels Li Fu and Li Yi?"

Everyone was shocked, and before they could react, more than a dozen guards rushed forward and tied up Li Fu and Li Yi in an instant.The Li brothers were shocked, not knowing what they had committed, and shouted that they were wronged.

Sangong was also very frightened, and knelt down to play Emperor Wen, saying that the Li brothers would never rebel, and he was willing to guarantee with his family and life.Xian Wenxue said coldly: "Three lovers, please come, let you come here today, so that the Sangong will try the three brothers of the Li family for corruption and perverting the law, and plotting to create crimes!"

Li Yi and Li Fu were shocked when they heard this, and Li Fu asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers are really wronged! Just now the Emperor said that my three brothers conspired against each other. Could it be that my brother Li Shi was also arrested by the Emperor?"

Emperor Xianwen waved his hand, and Tuoba Ming flashed out from behind the palace.Everyone was amazed, since Emperor Xianwen cut Tuoba Ming's position in public, how could he appear in the palace wearing the official uniform of Zhongshu Supervisor?

Tuoba Ming proudly said: "My lords, the emperor has received a secret report a long time ago, saying that Li Fu was corrupt and perverted the law, and wanted to commit rebellion. Therefore, the emperor ordered me to investigate this matter secretly. In order to avoid suspicion in Li Fu's heart, I deliberately did it in front of all the officials. I was dismissed. Now the evidence of Li Fu's rebellion is conclusive, and the lower officials have followed the emperor's decree to arrest Li Shi. The emperor has decreed that Li Fu's rebellion is an unforgivable crime. He should punish the three clans, so he arrested Li Yi and Li Shi."

Emperor Xianwen said: "Tuoba Ming, you declare Li Fu's crimes, bring witnesses Feng Shu and Li Xin, and they will be interrogated by the Sangong!"

Tuoba Ming said: "No! The minister obeys the order! Invite the emperor, where will Li Fu be interrogated?"

Emperor Xianwen said: "Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, all crimes of rebellion have implicated the three clans. The evidence of Li Fu's crimes is convincing, so a quick decision should be made, and Li Fu will be tried by the Sangong Council in the palace!"

Tuoba Ming immediately called the guards to escort Li Shi, and ordered Li Xin and Feng Shu to testify.Tuoba Ming read Li Fu's 22 hidden crimes in public, and asked Li Xin and Feng Shu to testify in person.

The three men looked at each other in blank dismay, they were not mentally prepared at all, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.Emperor Xianwen said displeasedly: "The crime committed by Li Fu is well-documented. If the Sangong is not ready for a speedy sentence, when will it be?"

Although Sangong knew in his heart, these hidden crimes could not stand up to scrutiny.But they knew better that Emperor Xianwen was looking for an excuse to kill Li Fu.Sangong looked at each other, and understood the other person's thoughts from the eyes.Since it was forced by the emperor, he couldn't help himself, save his life, and tell the queen mother later.

The eunuch submitted the case file that was just prepared, and Sangong had no choice but to take a pen and sign his name.Upon seeing this, Emperor Xianwen ordered the guards to force Li Fu to press his fingerprints and make a confession.

Sangong thought that Emperor Xianwen would put the three Li brothers to death row. After they escaped, they immediately went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and begged the Queen Mother to rescue the three Li brothers.San Gong thought that even if the Empress Dowager did not want to conflict with Emperor Xianwen Tuo Bahong, she would just turn a blind eye and let Emperor Xianwen appoint and remove officials from the court. Even if she did not want to protect Li Fu and Li Shi, because the Empress Dowager and Li Yi were lovers, she would definitely protect Li Yi.As long as Li Yi doesn't die, then Li Fu and Li Shi will be fine.

Sangong secretly calculated in his heart, when he was feeling relieved, he did not expect Emperor Xianwen to order Tuoba Ming to behead the three Li brothers outside the palace.

Sangong was shocked, but he had already signed the case file, and the emperor's decree had been issued, which was irreversible, so he had to watch helplessly as the three brothers of the Li family yelled at their injustice, and were escorted and dragged out of the palace by the guards.

The three brothers of the Li family were killed, and Emperor Xianwen immediately issued an order to kill the three brothers of the Li family.After coming out of the paddock, Taiwei Yuanhe, Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves hurried to the harem to report the matter to Empress Dowager Feng.

When Empress Dowager Feng heard that Li Yi had been killed by Emperor Xianwen, she stood there in amazement for a long time.She really couldn't figure out why Tuo Bahong, Emperor Xianwen, whom she regarded as her own, would attack her.Killing Li Yi was a signal sent by Emperor Xianwen to Empress Dowager Feng.

Sangong told the Queen Mother that Emperor Xianwen wantonly appointed officials who had been punished by Queen Mother Feng, and a group of old officials trusted by Queen Mother Feng were either dismissed or killed.Sangong was worried about the chaos in Wei Dynasty, so he begged Empress Dowager Feng to come to the court again to rule.

Empress Dowager Feng remained silent for a long time, she hadn't recovered from the grief of Li Yi's death.Although Emperor Wencheng Tuoba Jun grew up with Empress Dowager Feng's childhood sweetheart, Empress Dowager Feng felt a deep sense of loss after Emperor Wencheng favored Li Guiren.After Emperor Wencheng's death, she and Li Yi developed feelings for each other, and she had long regarded Li Yi as her husband in private.Now that Li Yi died, Empress Dowager Feng's spiritual world almost collapsed.
