Power in the World: After Eternal Age

The army of Yihun came under pressure. King Yongchang was deeply disappointed when he saw that Tuoba, king of Leping, had been handed over to Luli, king of Pingyuan, and Wang Yuanhe, king of Longxi.

In less than ten days, Yihun's army broke through the city. Yongchang King Tuoba Ren wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but he was captured by Yihun and beheaded on the spot.

Yihun defeated the two kings in a row within [-] days, his morale was greatly boosted, and he had no time to rest, so he quickly dispatched the camp and directed his troops at the rebel army of King Leping Tuobaba.

After defeating the two kings, Yihun took all the rebels under his command, gained a lot of food, grass and money, and his army was far stronger than before.Although King Tuobabo of Leping originally had stronger troops than Yihun, but because Wang Yuanhe of Longxi and Wang Luli of Pingyuan fought desperately, the army wasted a lot of food and grass, and because the two kings were defeated by Yihun, the army was unstable. It is far inferior to Yi Hun.

When Yihun's army arrived, they sent out surprise soldiers, did not set up camp, and tried their best to attack the big tent allocated by King Tuoba of Leping.Leping Wang Tuobabo was caught off guard, Pingyuan Wang Luli and Longxi Wang Yuanhe also rushed out of the city when they saw that the reinforcements had arrived.The rebellion caused by Tuobabo, King Leping, completely defeated Yi Hun in one day.

Tuoba, the king of Leping, saw that the general situation was over, so he drew his sword and killed himself in front of the battle.The rebellion was established, and there were not many soldiers left under Pingyuan Wang Luli and Longxi Wang Yuanhe, and they returned to the court with the Yihun army.

When the army came to the capital, Empress Dowager Feng and Emperor Xianwen Tuo Bahong personally went out of the city gate to meet them and rewarded the three armies.Empress Dowager Feng gave a big banquet to the officials. At the banquet, she said to the officials: "The current court has put down the chaos of the three kings, and the ministers have contributed a lot. Tomorrow morning, the ministers who have made meritorious service will be rewarded."

All the officials worshiped, and Empress Dowager Feng held the wine cup herself, and bestowed wine on the chariot general Yi Hun, Zhongshu Ling Gao Yun, Pingyuan Wang Luli, and Longxi Wang Yuanhe.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Xianwen decreed that General Cheqi and Yihun, Duke of Dongjun, be made Taiwei, Lu Shangshushi, the king of Taiyuan; Liu Ni, king of Dong'an, was Situ; Wang Tuoba was the general of Zhenxi and the third division of Yitong; Li Yi, the Marquis of Fanyang, was the king of Danyang; Feng Xi, the king of Changli, led the conquest of the East General; General, in charge of the Forbidden Palace.

After the reward was over, all the ministers knelt down and shouted long live.Empress Dowager Feng said again: "Your Majesty is young. Although he is smart and wise, he still lacks experience in governing the country. Kuang Xiandi has just died, so he is suitable to live in the palace and keep his filial piety. This palace was entrusted by the late Emperor to assist the emperor in governing the country. However, the weather was extremely hot, and the burns on his hands recurred. Therefore, the palace ordered Taiyuan Wang Yihun to lead the soldiers of the world, to calm the people, and Gao Yun, the Duke of Xianyang, to lead the courtiers, with one article and one military, to temporarily take charge of the government of the Great Wei Dynasty. Whenever there is something to do, there are two people call the shots."

All the ministers were suspicious, but Empress Dowager Feng controlled the government, and no one dared to speak out and cause death, so they had to kneel down to obey the order.

It has been a long time since the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the post of prime minister has not been established, because the emperor was worried that the power of the courtiers would be too heavy, and he followed the example of the Three Kingdoms period when Cao Cao was the prime minister and coerced the emperor to order the princes.From the Northern Wei Dynasty to Emperor Xianwen, there were only three princes, namely Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong. The three princes were the heads of the court officials and had great power. However, the three princes checked each other.

Yi Hun is the Taiwei, among the courtiers, there are many sycophants clinging to Yi Hun.Although Yihun had no ambitions in the early days, he liked money very much, so the treacherous villains offered it with gold, silver and silk, hoping to get an official position.

From time to time, there was Jia Xiu, General Anyuan, who had a very close personal relationship with Yi Hun.Seeing this situation, Mi said to Yi Hun: "The Taiwei has made great achievements throughout the world. He followed the former emperor to conquer the north and south, and he also quelled the chaos of the third king. His reputation spread at home and abroad. People in the current court, everyone looks for the Taiwei. This is just right. It's the Taiwei's chance to win people's hearts!"

Yi Hun asked why, and Jia Xiu said: "The prestige of the Taiwei today is all due to the military achievements of the past. Today, the Empress Dowager is recovering from injuries, and the emperor is young and cannot go out in mourning, so the Taiwei can take charge of the imperial court. The Taiwei governs the dynasty, must secretly Offending people. If the Queen Mother returns from injury, or Emperor Xianwen is old and takes charge, the power of the Taiwei will be cut. At that time, there is fear that someone who hates the Taiwei will slander, and the emperor and the empress will also fear that the Taiwei will be greatly affected. Lord, by then, the Taiwei will be in danger!"

Yi Hun was startled when he heard the words, wiped his forehead in cold sweat and said: "Your words are very true, but Yi Hun is a rough person, and he doesn't know the benefits and harms, so I ask the general to offer a good plan for this Taiwei!"

General Anyuan Jia Xiudao: "The Taiwei is in power now, and it is time to buy people's hearts. The Taiwei can announce the appointment of personnel above the court, and choose all those who agree with the Taiwei. When the emperor and the empress come back, the power belongs to the Taiwei hand, what worries do you have?"

Yihun was overjoyed, following the words of Anyuan General Jia Xiu.Yi Hun selected a group of capable people from among those who gave gifts, and announced their appointments at the imperial court.

Although Situ, Liu Ni, King of Dong'an, Sikong, Shangshu Zuopushe and his slaves are the same as Yihun, they are among the three princes, but their merits are not as good as Yihun's, and they are also the queen mother's order, so that Yihun and Gao Yunzong As the regency, the two were afraid of Yihun's power, so they kept silent.

Although Gao Yun was ordered to lead the courtiers, he knew in his heart that he was honored by the queen mother as the Duke of Ling and the emperor himself as a model for all officials. She didn't know what Empress Dowager Feng meant, so she also pretended to be deaf and dumb in the court, and turned a deaf ear to what Yu Yihun did.

From time to time, Shangshu Yang Baoping, Duke of Pingyang Jia Airen, and Duke of Nanyang Zhang Tiandu stood up and publicly questioned Yi Hun's method of employing people. Although Yi Hun was angry, he was speechless for a while.

Both the empress dowager and the emperor lived in the deep palace, above the court hall, only Sangong and Zhongshu ordered Gao Yun to be respected.The ministers talked a lot, and when Yihun was helpless, General Jia Xiu of Anyuan came out to support Yihun, and a large number of traitorous officials immediately joined him.

Shang Shu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Duke Jia Airen, and Nanyang Duke Zhang Tiandu were also veterans of the Wei Dynasty, and they were loyal and upright, and they were all convinced. Therefore, the court was immediately divided into two camps, each of them argued their own reasons.

Seeing that everyone was still arguing, Gao Yun said: "Wang Yixuehun of Taiyuan ranks among the three princes. Since there are disputes among the officials about the matter he discussed, why don't you invite Situ and Sikong to resolve it together?"

Seeing Gao Yun's words, the court immediately fell silent, and all the officials' eyes were fixed on Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves.Seeing that they were riding a tiger, the two had no choice but to express their views.

Seeing Gao Yun's expression, the two of them knew what he meant, they were both afraid of Yi Hun taking over the government.Therefore, after the two discussed it, they told the ministers that what the Taiwei had mentioned could be discussed later.

Seeing these two people and Gao Yun's statement, Yi Hun knew it in his heart.Although he had a heavy army in his hands, he was also afraid of the three joining forces, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger and go down to the court.

After Yi Hun returned home, he felt unhappy and drank alone.Just as he was sighing for a long time, he came to report from left and right, saying that General Anyuan Jia Xiu had something to see.
