Power in the World: After Eternal Age

It was already past the morning time, but none of the officials dared to disperse, they were all nervously waiting for the development of the matter.An hour later, Anyuan General Jia Xiu rushed into the Golden Palace and loudly reported to Yihun: "Master Taiwei, I will be ordered to lead people to search for Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu. In the people's mansion, a large amount of grain was seized, with the official seal of the Ministry of Households! At the end, the general has asked people to bring some of the bags for your lords to verify!"

Yi Hun waved his hand and said, "Submit it quickly, all adults please examine it together!"

General Anyuan Jia Xiu said: "No!" He turned his head and shouted: "Sergeant of the old guard, quickly bring the food from the Sanfu to the hall!"

As soon as the words fell, several guards from the Imperial Forest Army came to the Golden Palace with a few bags of food.All the officials looked at it, and they saw that the seal of the Ministry of Households was stamped on the grain sack.

Yi Hun said angrily: "My Wei Dynasty is full of ruins, but there are such corrupt officials. The construction of the Buddha statues in the Yungang Grottoes was the order of the late emperor. The emperor and the queen mother of this dynasty, adhering to the order of the late emperor, poured all the efforts of the whole country to build it. Buddha statues in grottoes. However, Yang Baoping, Duke of Pingyang, Duke Airen of Pingyang, and Duke Tiandu of Nanyang, did not want to repay the emperor’s kindness, but saw that they were greedy for money, so that the construction of Buddha statues in the grottoes stopped, and the craftsmen had no food to feed themselves, which aroused public indignation.”

"If these corrupt officials are allowed to act in vain, our great Wei will be in danger! Anyuan General Jia Xiu listened to the order and ordered you to quickly raise up the soldiers of the headquarters, and together with the guards who lived in the imperial forest, kill Shangshu Yang Baoping and Pingyang Duke Jia Airen , Zhang Tiandu of Nanyang, the three thieves were all over the house, and quickly dispatched troops to the Yungang Grottoes, beheaded the heads of the three thieves and returned to Beijing to return to their orders!"

General Anyuan Jia Xiu responded loudly: "Promise! The last general has orders!"

When he was striding out of the golden palace, Sikong and his slaves called out urgently: "General Anyuan wait a moment, I have something to say!"

Jia Xiu stopped and looked at Yi Hun.Sikong and his slaves said: "Master Taiwei, I think that Mr. Taiwei's handling of this matter is biased!"

Yi Hun said angrily, "Lord Sikong, you and I, together with Lord Situ and Zhongshu Ling, are ordered by the Queen Mother to manage the affairs of the government. Now that we have all the stolen goods, how can we be suspicious?"

Sikong and his slave said: "Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu are all important officials of the court. Even if the three violated the law, they should be arrested and brought to justice. The emperor decides. The Taiwei acted rashly and disregarded the laws of the Great Wei. Therefore, I believe that General Anyuan Jia Xiu should be ordered to lead the troops to arrest the three people and the whole family, and hand them over to the three divisions for interrogation."

Yi Hun said angrily: "Since the first emperor, he has been reforming the court's malpractices. The empress dowager and the emperor followed the first emperor's will and wanted to put an end to the corruption of officials. We don't know how to govern officials in Wei Dynasty, and serious illnesses cannot be cured without strong medicine! Ben Taiwei Since he is ordered by the emperor, how dare he not die to repay the emperor and the queen mother? The Taiwei has already decided to kill Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu and all their families, so as to shock the world!"

Sikong and his slaves sneered and said, "Although Lord Taiwei is the head of the three princes, the Empress Dowager ordered that the emperor be in mourning and the queen mother recover from her injuries. She ordered Mr. Gao Yungao to govern the government together with the three princes. Shangshu Yang Baoping, Duke Pingyang Although Jia Airen and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu committed crimes, but the matter is very serious, how dare Lord Taiwei decide it with one person's will?"

After Sikong and his slave finished speaking, they looked at Situ Liuni and Zhongshu Ling Gaoyun.The two have been dissatisfied with Yihun's arrogance and domineering for a long time, since Sikong and his slave came out and pierced through this layer of paper, they both nodded and agreed with what Sikong and his slave said.

Baiguan saw that three of the four were against Yihun. Although they were afraid of Yihun's power, they agreed with the three because they were dissatisfied with Yihun for a long time.At this time, Yi Hun knew that Jia Xiu's words were true. If he hadn't held great power, he might have been involved by all the officials.

Yi Hun said angrily: "The evidence of the crime is convincing, Lord Sikong actually excused the three thieves, Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu. Could it be that there is something unspeakable about this matter?"

Although He Qinu was an upright official, since Emperor Wencheng began to clean up the administration of officials, the corrupt officials were severely punished.Hearing Yi Hun's words, I was at a loss for words for a while, thinking about the countermeasures secretly.

Seeing that the time was right, Yi Hun refused to give Sikong and Qi Nusi a chance to countermeasures, and said loudly: "Ben Taiwei was informed by Zhang Hang, the official of the treasury of the Grottoes last night, that the three thieves, Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu, were corrupt. Therefore, the matter is of great importance, and the Taiwei did not dare to make decisions privately, so he broke into the Forbidden Palace at night and asked the Queen Mother to make a decision."

"The empress dowager was furious when she heard the words, and ordered Yihun to stand in the court today, and she will investigate the matter thoroughly with all the officials. If the evidence of the crime is clear, she will order Yihun to act cheaply to deter corrupt officials all over the world. Sir Sikong , Do you defend the three thieves, Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu, and treat the Empress Dowager as nothing?"

Hearing that Yi Hun carried out Empress Dowager Feng, he and his slaves were startled.All the officials were afraid of the Queen Mother, and when they learned that Yihun had an order from the Queen Mother, they dared not speak up.Seeing this, Jia Xiu took the lead and knelt down and said, "The empress dowager is holy!"

When all the officials saw this, they all knelt down and followed the empress dowager Shengming and the emperor long live.Seeing this scene, Gao Yun didn't know whether the Queen Mother's order was true or not. He was a veteran of the three dynasties and knew the way to protect himself, so he kept his mouth shut.

Situ Liuni saw the sudden drastic change in the situation, so he quietly tugged at Sikong and his slaves and said, "Lord Sikong, your lord Taiwei has the Queen Mother's order, if you and I try to dissuade you, it will be against the order. What can the two of us do? How about letting Yihun deal with it, you and I go to the Forbidden Palace to see the Empress Dowager to prove the truth of this matter."

Sikong and his slave sighed and said: "This is the end of the matter, and this is the only way to go! The empress dowager's tactics are not inferior to the ancient Mingjun. I can't believe the empress dowager's oral order. I think this must be Yi Hun's coercive edict. .My official and Sir Situ, together with the Zhongshu Ling Gao Yungao, went to the Forbidden Palace to request the Queen Mother's order. If Yihun corrects the edict, this thief will kill himself!"

The two of them stopped discussing and neither made a sound.Seeing this, Yi Hun felt complacent, but with an angry expression on his face, he said, "Since all the ministers have no objections, how long will General An Yuan wait?"

Jia Xiu hurriedly stood up and said: "I have an order to punish Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu. The three thieves have a full family, and behead the heads of the three thieves. Return to the Golden Palace and return!"

Jia Xiu strode down the Golden Palace, Sikong and his slaves, Situ Liuni and Zhongshuling Gao Yun couldn't help but sigh.The three of them were about to leave the hall, but Yi Hun stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, my lords! This trip to the grotto is only thirty miles away. The Taiwei expected General Jia Xiu of Anyuan to kill the three thieves and their entire family, but Three hours! Today, Yihun has ordered the execution of the three thieves, for the sake of the imperial court! I hope that all the princes and all the officials will stay behind and wait in the golden palace!"

As soon as the words fell, there was no room for a few people to speak, Yi Hun shouted to the general Suwei in the hall of duty: "General Suwei, all officials will not leave the court today! You can use the food supervisor to do the meal for all officials!"
