Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Yi Hun heard Jia Xiu's words and was silent for a while.Thinking back and forth, I feel that Jia Xiu's words are all reasonable.Yi Hun was startled, and hurriedly asked for advice: "Master Jia, I am a rough person, and I don't know the art of stratagem. I hope Master Jia will not hesitate to enlighten me, and Yi Hun will repay me!"

Jia Xiu smiled and offered three strategies to Yihun.Jia Xiu asked Yihun to take advantage of the queen mother's recovery, and the emperor seized power during the funeral when he was young to consolidate his power.

Yi Hun is the general of chariots and riders. The Northern Wei Dynasty followed the system of Han and Jin. The highest status is the general of hussars, followed by the general of chariots and riders.At this time, the general of the hussars was vacant, and Yihun led the soldiers of the whole country to quell the chaos of the three kings, and he held all the military power in his hands.What Yi Hun has to do is to control and win over the important officials in the court for his own use.

Jia Xiu's first strategy was to have Yihun kill some officials who refused to accept Yihun, so "a hundred officials were terrified and had nothing to do", and they were afraid of Yihun and dared not rise up against him again. Heart.

The second strategy is to kill the ministers must be in the palace, not in the name of Yi Hun without authorization, but to kill officials by the order of the emperor and the queen mother, the best way is to use the imperial edict.Who dares to doubt Yi Hun's Jiaozhao?Whoever suspects will kill whom, until all officials subdue him.

Jia Xiu's contribution, the most powerful is the third strategy.He suggested that Yihun isolate the inside and outside, so that those who disobeyed Yihun could not see the face of the queen mother and the emperor, and then ordered to kill them; and even if the queen mother and the emperor started to take precautions against Yihun, the general trend of Yihun had already been established at that time. The empress dowager and the emperor couldn't see the faces of the officials, and they couldn't cultivate their own forces to fight against Yi Hun.

According to the ancient etiquette system, after the death of the father, the eldest son must observe filial piety for three years; if he is an official in the court, no matter how old he is, he will approve Ding You for three years.The emperor will not be so long, because the emperor has to manage the dynasty.Jia Xiu suggested that Yi Hun should use the excuse that the emperor should live in mourning in peace, so that the emperor would not go to court, and all officials had to go through him if they wanted to report to the emperor.Unfavorable things are filtered out.The emperor's will is conveyed through him, and it is unclear whether it is true or false.Take care of the affairs of the foreign court by yourself.In this way, the emperor knew nothing about the outside world, and the officials could not see the emperor.

Yihun was overjoyed, thanked Jia Xiu, and adopted his strategy.Jia Xiu said in a dark tone: "Taiwei, who do you want to kill a minister who is different from you? Does the Taiwei know?"

Yi Hun said with a smile: "Master Jia is my military advisor now, how dare Yi Hun have any reason to distrust him? But the strategy offered by Master Jia, I agree to!"

Jia Xiudao: "Taiwei, Jia Xiu thinks that it is not appropriate to move high-ranking officials in the court at the beginning. If you punish important officials, you may immediately alert the Queen Mother and the Emperor. It also has no effect of shocking and frightening all officials. Do you remember that Shang Shu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu three people were in the court hall, openly humiliating the Taiwei, and rejecting the personnel appointment list that the Taiwei proposed?"

Yi Hun said suspiciously: "These three people are extremely hateful. If they were in front of the army, they would have been killed by Yi Hun. However, Lord Jia said to me that day that he didn't care about these three people. Let him be the supervisor of the construction of the Yungang Grottoes. Mr. Jia advised me to repay my grievances with virtue, why did he persuade me to kill these three people today?"

Jia Xiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty Taiwei doesn't know something. Although these three people are not as high as the three princes, they are veterans of our Great Wei. They have been assigned the positions of Shangshu and County King. They can also be called important ministers of the court. The three of them refuted Taiwei's words. At that time, the Taiwei was just listed as the head of the three princes, and there was no foundation yet. Kuang Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves were also wary of the Taiwei and expressed their support for these three people. My Great Wei law does not have a prime minister, but only three princes. Three princes Restraining each other is actually a balancing act of the emperor."

"Both Situ and Sikong opposed the Taiwei's intentions, and the Taiwei could not rule on his own. Therefore, Jia Xiu persuaded the Taiwei to show his virtue to the three, and wanted to make all the officials think that the Taiwei was open-minded and accepted the hearts of everyone. , Yiping Zhongshu ordered Gao Yunzhi to be dissatisfied. After three months of today, the courtiers have forgotten this matter. If the Taiwei ordered to kill, the officials would not know the Taiwei's heart, and their hearts would be fearful, then the Taiwei's prestige has been established. "

Yihun rejoiced and said: "This plan is very clever. I wanted to kill these three people a long time ago! Tomorrow I will make an edict and send someone to take the guards and the imperial forest army to the grotto to take the heads of these three people!"

Jia Xiu hurriedly said: "Lord Taiwei, you must not act recklessly! Killing these three people is the first time the Taiwei tried his sword to see the reaction of the court. If all the officials are angry and the situation is difficult to control, I am afraid that the Taiwei will not be able to make a good plan for a while. I want to retreat. Jia Xiu thought that it would be the best policy for Mr. Taiwei to kill the three of them in the name of corruption!"

Yi Hun thought for a while, then said in a difficult way: "Shang Shu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu, although these three people occupy high positions, but I have heard for a long time that these three people are upright and honest officials. No one can believe it!"

Jia Xiu chuckled and said, "Lord Taiwei, the rebellion of the three kings has not been settled for a long time, and the treasury of the court is empty, but the late emperor believed in Buddhism and built the Yungang Grottoes according to the empress dowager's words. Still pouring the power of the whole country to build grottoes and promote Buddhism."

"That's why in the Great Wei Dynasty, the positions of various officials are particularly rich in supervising the construction of the Yungang Grottoes. Since the three of them are rich and weak, why worry about killing them in the name of corruption?"

Yi Hun sighed: "Although I recommended these three people in front of the emperor and queen mother according to Mr. Jia's words, but I was still unhappy in my heart, and finally wanted to kill them to calm my anger. Yi Hun once sent people to Yungang Grottoes secretly , Secretly investigated these three people. The spy reported that these three people were honest and upright officials, and all the money allocated by the treasury was used for the repair of Buddha statues in the grottoes."

"What's more, these three people actually disregarded the official prestige and did it by themselves, sharing joys and sorrows with the craftsmen, building grottoes, and even moving stone materials by themselves. Such people, although they are in a fat job, they still don't feel greedy. How can they be safe? Kill him in the name of corruption?"

Jia Xiu laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, Taiwei, Jia Xiu has his own plan to kill these three people! Tomorrow is the day when the Ministry of Households will send money and food to Qugang Grottoes. Yu Jiaxiu, within a month, these three people will be killed by the Taiwei's coercive order!"

Yi Hun was surprised and said: "Master Jia has a wonderful calculation, Yi Hun doesn't know, please enlighten Master Jia!"

Jia Xiu followed Yi Hun's ear, whispering strategies in secret, Yi Hun listened with great joy, and said repeatedly: "Master Jia is indeed a master, the soldiers needed will be dispatched by Master Jia tomorrow!"

In the early morning of the second day, a large group of soldiers stood by in a hidden place outside the city gate.Jia Xiu ordered all the soldiers to remove their armor and pretend to be a caravan. He also pretended to be a businessman and led the team to Yungang Grottoes!

Everyone came to Yungang Grottoes and found a post station to stay.Jia Xiu ordered a trusted aide to go to the construction site with a token, and asked the official who supervised the money and food to come quietly to Yizhan to obey orders.
