Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Situ Liuni, Sikong and their slaves were unable to see the Queen Mother, and they were still unwilling.Sikong and his slaves said: "Master Gao is proficient in economics and strategy, resourceful and resourceful, what good strategy do you have now? I guess Yihun must be becoming more ambitious, trying to kill the ministers to frighten Baiwei and build up his prestige. Now I ask to see the Queen Mother but I can't, I'm afraid Yi Hun's arrogance is growing day by day, and Great Wei will be in great trouble!"

Gao Yun said: "Don't be impatient, my lords! Although the former emperor ordered the empress dowager to attend the court, the Great Wei Dynasty was eventually ruled by the Tuoba family. Although he is young today, he admires literature and martial arts, and is extremely intelligent. Although we have seen the empress dowager If you can't, you might as well ask the emperor. If the emperor knows about Yihun's false edict, he must tell the queen mother. Now that the queen mother knows, is Yihun'an rampant?"

Situ Liuni, Sikong and their slaves were overjoyed when they heard the news, and hurriedly urged Gaoshu to meet the emperor together.As soon as the three arrived at the emperor's bedroom, they saw Taiwei Yihun standing at the entrance of the palace gate and shouted loudly: "Where do the three adults want to go?"

The three of them were startled to see Yi Hun, and seeing Yi Hun surrounded by guards on both sides, they couldn't help being secretly startled.Gao Yun stepped forward and said, "Why is Lord Taiwei standing here? I, together with Sikong and Situ, have not seen the emperor for a long time. I want to enter the palace to greet the emperor!"

Yi Hun sneered and said, "Master Zhongshu Ling, Taiwei Ben, Sikong, and Sir Situ were entrusted by the empress dowager to help the government together during the emperor's young funeral and the empress dowager's recovery. The four of us are ordered by the emperor. So much trust, why don't you settle down to deal with the matter of benefits, but instead want to bother the Queen Mother and the Emperor?"

The three were startled, knowing that Yi Hun had obtained their wish to see the Queen Mother.Yi Hun was standing outside the emperor's bedroom, he must be waiting for the arrival of the three of them.

Sikong and his slaves were furious: "Lord Taiwei, we are all important court officials, how can there be any reason why courtiers can't meet the emperor?"

Yi Hun said coldly: "Lord Sikong, the emperor has a decree to show filial piety by not seeing foreign officials during the funeral. If you want to see the emperor, you are concealing the emperor's disobedience. This is a heinous crime! What is the intention of the three lords?" ?”

The three of them were at a loss for words when they heard the words, Yi Hun ignored them, and said loudly: "Guards, the emperor has a decree, whoever dares to trespass into the forbidden palace will be killed without mercy!"

Sikong and his slaves said angrily: "Yihun, you designed to frame Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu. You made bolder edicts and ordered General Anyuan to lead troops to slaughter all three officials. If you want to prevent me from meeting the Holy Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will behead you!"

Yi Hun said angrily: "Lord Sikong, thinking that I, Yi Hun, have been loyal to the Great Wei and made great contributions, yet you are spitting blood and bullying me so that you dare not kill you?"

Sikong and his slaves became even more angry and wanted to force their way into the forbidden palace.All the soldiers of the old guard drew their weapons and stood in front of them, and the atmosphere was extremely tense for a while.The Zhongshu ordered Gao Yun to see that the situation was not good, he held back Sikong and his slaves and said in a low voice: "Lord Sikong, calm down! Yihun will definitely correct the order, but Sikong and Situ are the pillars of the country, if they forcefully break into the Forbidden Palace today, I am only afraid that Yihun will kill the three of us in the name of treason. If we are punished, who can fight against Yihun in the court? Please think twice to save your life, Xu Tuzhi."

Situ Liuni also persuaded: "Lord Sikong, the words of Zhongshu Ling are very kind! Today's situation is critical, we must not move lightly!"

Sikong and his slaves were still indignant, Gao Yun stepped forward, smiling all over his face, and said to Yihun, "Your Majesty is loyal and brave, and Gao respects him! The emperor is doing his filial piety at the funeral, and if ministers disturb him, he may be hurt." Inappropriate. Lord Taiwei calm down, Lord Sikong is eager to see the emperor, so he can't choose what to say. Gao Yun has already persuaded Lord Sikong and Situ to return to the mansion, so let's say goodbye to Lord Taiwei."

Yi Hun turned his anger into joy and said, "What Master Zhongshu Ling said is very true. The Empress Dowager's insight made it clear that Yi Hun and Master Zhongshu Ling will be in charge of the court together. Master Zhongshu Ling, please go back, and Yi Hun will not be far away." deliver."

Zhongshu ordered Gao Yun to quickly drag Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves, bid farewell to Yihun, and left the forbidden palace.For the next few days, the three of them still did not give up and wanted to wait for the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother and the Emperor every day.However, except for Li Yi, all the guards who were on duty in the Forbidden Palace were replaced by Yi Hun's confidantes, so they couldn't enter the Forbidden Palace.

On this day, in the court hall, while all the ministers were discussing, a eunuch suddenly arrived with an order.All the ministers knelt down to receive the order, but they were all suspicious: the queen mother and the emperor have ignored the government for a long time, how could they suddenly order the eunuch to come out according to the order, and not come in person?

The eunuch announced the decree, saying that Yihun handled the government well, and both the empress dowager and the emperor believed in it, and the late emperor's edict said: Yihun is loyal and brave, and can be reused!Therefore, the emperor issued an imperial edict, ordering Yihun to remain the head of the three princes, and to serve as a Taiwei and concurrently as a prime minister.

Yi Hun knelt down to thank him, and everyone was in an uproar.Tuobayu, Shangshu in the palace, was granted the title of duke in the time of Emperor Wencheng, and he was in charge of the forbidden army inside and outside the palace. He was loyal, brave and upright.

Tuobayu shouted loudly: "Since the founding of our country, we have not set up the post of prime minister, but let the three princes restrict each other. Why did the emperor suddenly set up the post of prime minister? The matter of setting up a prime minister is too important, why is it so abrupt? I want to see the emperor, please show it face to face!"

Yi Hun was furious, but seeing that all the officials were furious, it was inconvenient for him to explode for a while.Seeing this, General Anyuan Jia Xiu came out of the class and said: "My lords, General Cheqi, Taiwei, and Taiyuan Wang Yihun have been with the late emperor for a long time, won the trust of the late emperor, and made great contributions to our great Wei. The current emperor succeeds Since I came to power, it was the time when the three kings were rebelling, and thanks to the great power of the Taiwei, the world was settled. The emperor was in mourning, and the queen mother was recuperating, so the Zhongshu Ling adults will work with the three princes and the prime ministers to govern the government."

"Since the past three months, my Great Wei Dynasty has not been chaotic. This is due to the merits of the four lords. However, if the four lords have different opinions on major national affairs, they may argue and cause delays. If you ask the empress dowager for instructions, it will mislead the empress dowager to calm down. Heal the wounded; if you ask to see the emperor, you will miss the emperor's filial piety in mourning."

"That's why I thought that it must be the emperor who discussed with the empress dowager, and that Mr. Taiwei is loyal, brave and resourceful, enough to decide the major affairs of the country. That's why the emperor issued an order to order Mr. Taiwei to lead the prime minister's affairs and take charge of the court, so as to promote our great Wei!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned over and knelt down and said: "My minister Anyuan General Jia Xiu, according to the imperial decree, only the prime minister, Lord Yihun, ordered to follow and be loyal to Wei!"

Among the courtiers, most of them saw that Yi Hun was monopolizing the power, and none of the other three Gu Ming ministers could compete with him.It is also known that Yihun had ordered to kill Shangshu Yang Baoping, Pingyang Gong Jia Airen, and Nanyang Gong Zhang Tiandu, all of whom were full of family members, and also tried their best to prevent Zhongshuling Gao Yun, Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slave Miansheng, all of whom were afraid of Yihun. .

In the court hall, after a moment of silence, many people followed Anyuan General Jia Xiu and kowtowed to obey the order.Gao Yun and the others couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh deeply when they saw that the general situation was over.

Satisfied, Yihun took the imperial decree from the eunuch Xuanzhi and showed it to all his officials.Therefore, under the order of the prime minister, he announced the personnel arrangement in court, cut off the power of Zhongshuling Gao Yun, Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves, and monopolized the power in one person.
