Power in the World: After Eternal Age

After Feng Yuan entered the palace, under the careful training of her aunt Feng Zhaoyi, she not only learned to read and write, but also had a clear understanding of the trend of the world.

Although Feng Zhaoyi is in the harem, she only cares about political affairs, but she is a descendant of the Beiyan emperor, she has a lot of contacts, is generous, and rewards her servants a lot, so she is very popular in the harem.From time to time, a confidant eunuch secretly reported to Feng Zhaoyi about the affairs of the court, and Feng Yuan, who was by Feng Zhaoyi's side, also knew all about the personnel in the court.

At this time, Feng Yuan already understood the real reason why Feng's family suffered the disaster of exterminating the three clans, and secretly determined to get rid of Situ Cui Hao, who was in power.

It turns out that although Situ Cuihao is extremely intelligent and possesses great talents for governing the country, he is narrow-minded and likes to be flattered by others and likes to accept bribes.

The three brothers Feng Chong, Feng Lang, and Feng Miao went out of Beiyan and surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was Cui Hao's plan.After the Feng brothers defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were reused by Emperor Taiwu.Cui Hao often told people that the Feng brothers were not enlightened and did not know how to be grateful to him, and he was very dissatisfied with the Feng brothers for not bribing him.

Cui Hao tried his best to advise Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao to intensify the attack on Buddhism, which caused a devastating blow to Buddhism, so that at that time, "within one territory, there will be no recluses", and there were complaints between the government and the opposition.When Feng Lang was the governor of Yongzhou, because he believed in Buddhism, he opened the door for Shituo, an eminent monk in the Western Regions, to spread Buddhism in China. This aroused Cui Hao's dissatisfaction and decided to get rid of the Feng brothers.

When Rouran from the north came to invade, Cui Hao felt that the opportunity had come. He recommended Feng Miao to lead the army to attack Rouran, and even recommended Chang Shi Zongai, one of the eunuchs favored by Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao, as the supervisor of the army. Emperor Taiwu adopted Cui Hao's advice. suggestion.

Cui Hao knew that the eunuch Zongai loved money very much, so he would blackmail Feng Miao, and even withhold military pay to fill his own pockets.Sure enough, as Cui Hao expected, Feng Miao, who commanded the army, was extremely arrogant and looked down on the flattering eunuch Zong Ai.

Zong Ai couldn't blackmail him, so he felt malicious in his heart.When Feng Miao led the central army to fight the enemy bravely, Zong Ai corrected the military order, which made the left and right armies stagnate, and Feng Miao's army went deep into the siege alone.

With no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside, Feng Miao insisted on not surrendering and was determined to die for the country.But at this time Zong Ai had reported back to Emperor Taiwu, saying that Feng Miao had surrendered to the enemy.Emperor Taiwu was furious, Cui Hao took the opportunity to speak out, saying that the Feng brothers were originally the clan of Beiyan, they had no choice but to vote for Wei, and took advantage of the opportunity of leading the army to collude with Rouran, intending to destroy Wei Fuyan.

Emperor Taiwu didn't see Feng Mao's military report for a long time, and in a fit of rage, he ordered the eunuch Zong Ai to lead the Imperial Guard Army to kill Feng's three clans.The news spread to the besieged Feng Miao's army, and Feng Miao, out of grief and indignation, had no choice but to surrender to Rouran.

After Cui Hao took power alone, he tried to sort out, separate and regulate the ranks of clans according to the traditional thinking of the Han family, which also aroused strong dissatisfaction in Xianbei and Guizhou.But Cui Hao went his own way, didn't pay attention to the Xianbei nobles at all, and even offended the prince Tuobahuang.

Cui Hao once recommended dozens of people from Ji, Ding, Xiang, You, and five prefectures, and each of them should be a county guard.Prince Tuoba Huang said to Cui Hao: "The people recruited earlier are also candidates for state and county officials. They have been in office for a long time, and they have not been rewarded for their hard work in political affairs. Now we can make up for the people recruited earlier as county magistrates, and use the newly recruited people On behalf of Lang Li. And the prefect and county magistrate governing the people should send those experienced people."

Cui Hao was determined not to give in, and stubbornly sent those newly recruited people.Because Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao deeply believed in Cui Hao, he once summoned all the ministers and ordered: "In the future, you should consult Cui Hao's opinions for any military and national plans that you cannot decide, and then you can implement them." Therefore, Prince Tuobahuang also had nothing to do with Cui Hao.

One day, when Feng Yuan was studying with Emperor Taiwu's grandson Tuojun, Guan Tian, ​​a doctor of the Eastern Palace, told the story of Cui Hao's confrontation with the prince Tuobahuang, and said: "Gao Yun once said that 'Cui Gong will suffer Yes! Sticking to your own mistakes and trying to compete with the prince, how can there be any good results?'".

Feng Yuan asked Guan Tian for advice, and only then did she know Gao Yun. She secretly made up her mind to pull Gao Yun by her side, as a right-hand man who would rule the harem and even rule the world in the future.

On this day, it was time for the prince Tuoba Huang to inspect his son Tuoba Jun's studies again. Feng Yuan secretly made up her mind to admonish the master as a humble servant, "seek wealth and wealth in danger" and show her face in front of the prince.

After Prince Tuobahuang returned to the East Palace, he came to Tuoba Jun's study, and saw that Tuoba Jun was not practicing calligraphy but reading unofficial history, he couldn't help being furious.

Facing his furious father, Tuoba Jun was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.Feng Yuan suddenly knelt down to Prince Tuobahuang and said, "Your Highness, please calm down, I told His Highness not to practice calligraphy, but to study unofficial history."

Tuobahuang couldn't help being secretly surprised when he saw that a little court lady was able to command his son, and she was not as frightened as other servants when facing him.He said with a sullen face: "Bold, a little maid, dare to miss your highness's studies, come here, pull this little maid out, and hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for severe punishment!"

Left and right just responded, and stepped forward to pull Feng Yuan, but Feng Yuan said calmly and loudly: "Your Highness, my daughter offends His Highness, and she should be severely punished. People say that His Highness is kind, can you allow my daughter to argue?"

Tuoba Huang was amazed, drank back about.Feng Yuan knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness, you will be my Great Wei Emperor in the future, and your little Highness will be loved by Emperor Tai Wu and you, and you will succeed to rule the world in a long time."

"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince learned from Situ Cui Hao first, and Master Cui is the No. 1 in my Great Wei calligraphy. His Highness the Crown Prince strictly ordered His Highness to practice calligraphy hard. This must be Master Cui's intention. Those who learn calligraphy are also literati; those who rule the world , must have great talent and general knowledge, and be proficient in classical history."

"I heard that the servant Gao Yun is fond of literature, and he has traveled thousands of miles to study. He has a broad knowledge of classics and history, astronomy, and arithmetic, and is especially fond of "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Biography". Only such capable ministers can teach great successors. The art of emperors , lies in the balance. Today Cui Hao monopolizes the court and insults the crown prince Tianwei, although it is because Emperor Taiwu relies heavily on it, it is also because there is a lack of talented people in the court to fight against him."

"Although Gao Yun and Cui Hao are friends, they have a lot of disputes. Besides, Cui Hao has power over the world and is arrogant. He and Gao Yun are just superficially incompatible. If His Highness the Crown Prince uses Gao Yun again, then the Crown Prince will not be Cui Hao in the court. Made."

After hearing Feng Yuan's words, Tuoba Huang asked in surprise, "Who are you? You have such insight at such a young age?"

Feng Yuan replied: "The youngest daughter is Feng Yuan, the daughter of the prisoner Feng Lang. Five years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me the permission to hand me over to my aunt Zuo Zhaoyi, Madame Feng. Mistress Zuo Zhaoyi and His Royal Highness's wet nurse, Mistress Chang, taught me Read and write, order me to accompany your Highness to read."

Tuobahuang pondered for a while and said: "Jun'er, although Feng Yuan is a woman, she has the talent to govern the world. From now on, you must not treat her like a human being. She is the daughter of Feng Lang, and she is also the royal family of Beiyan. Clan, and Zuo Zhaoyi's niece, her status is not lowly. Jun'er, when you grow up, you will be the father and decide to let you marry Feng."
