Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Chapter 95 The Death of Lu Li

Pingyuan Wang Luli accepted the order to thank her, and the officials were very pleased.If the queen mother wants to summon Lu Li, it will be against Yi Hun.Just when Pingyuan Wang Luli was about to step down, the eunuch Xuanzhi said again: "The Empress Dowager ordered that Prime Minister Yi Hun accompany Pingyuan Wang Luli to have an audience together!"

Yi Hun also knelt down to thank him, and smiled at Pingyuan Wang Luli and said: "Pingyuan King, the empress dowager summoned us both, and hope that Pingyuan king will speak well for Yi Hun in front of the empress dowager!"

Pingyuan Wang Luli had a strong personality, she glanced at Yihun with disdain and said, "Master Prime Minister, you cover the sky with one hand, why use Lu Li's good words? Lord Prime Minister, please!"

Yi Hun smiled, bowed to let Lu Li go first, and then said to the officials: "My lords, that's it for today, let's go!"

After all the officials dispersed, the eunuch Xuanzhi led Pingyuan Wang Luli to the harem, followed by Yihun.

When they came to the gate of the palace, all the guards bowed and saluted when they saw the two men coming.When the two entered the palace gate, the guards immediately closed the palace gate.Lu Li was startled, and immediately asked the guard, "Why did you close the palace gate?"

Yi Hun laughed loudly, clapped his hands, and immediately more than a dozen guards with sharp knives poured out from all directions, surrounding Lu Li.

Lu Li was shocked, and asked sharply: "Yi Hun, what do you mean? Could it be that in broad daylight, in the deep palace of the royal family, you dare to do harm to the king?"

Yihun smiled grimly and said, "Lu Li, you are entrusted with the hot springs. You say that the prime minister is isolated from the inside and outside, and you want to kill the ministers. You want to join forces with the princes and kings to kill Yihun. Is there such a thing?"

The governor Lu Li raised her head and said, "Yihun, you are a thief, and everyone who gets it will punish you!"

Yi Hun said angrily, "Lu Li, your death is approaching, how dare you act fiercely?"

Lu Li said loudly: "Bold Yihun, this is the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace. If you want to kill me, aren't you afraid of disturbing the queen mother and the emperor?"

Yi Hun laughed loudly and said, "Lu Li, since you said that the Prime Minister is trying to kill the minister, don't you think that the Prime Minister can also kill you?"

Lu Li's heart was full of fear, and she regretted not listening to the words of Mu Duohou, the inspector of the guard, and arrogantly entrusted herself to fall into Yihun's hands.He knew that the danger would be more than good, so he yelled at the empress dowager's bedroom: "The empress dowager, Yi Hun pretended to kill me, the empress dowager save me!"

Yi Hun sneered and waved his hands. More than a dozen people in the dormitory, each holding a sharp knife, rushed forward and immediately chopped Pingyuan Wang Luli into a pulp.Poor King Pingyuan made great contributions in his life, was loyal and upright, and died at the hands of powerful officials.

At that time, Empress Dowager Feng was sitting quietly in the palace, and when she heard Lu Li calling, she hurriedly summoned the maids to ask her.The court lady Yan Yihun in the Forbidden Palace, and executed Pingyuan King Luli, Empress Dowager Feng was shocked when she heard this.

Empress Dowager Feng originally thought that Yi Hun exercised power only for her own selfish desires, and she was afraid that his party members would spread all over the government and the public, and would also be in charge of the imperial guards, so she was jealous and did not dare to move lightly.Empress Dowager Feng originally planned to announce to the officials that she had recovered from her injury and was going to return to the court to listen to politics.If Yihun blocks it, she can still say that the country cannot be without a king for a day. Although the emperor is in mourning, he cannot observe the filial piety for three years like the common people.

Whether it is Emperor Xianwen who is in charge personally, or Empress Dowager Feng herself who is in charge of the court, they can justifiably weaken Yihun's power.Empress Dowager Feng did not expect that Yi Hun went mad and ordered to kill Pingyuan Wang Luli.

The King of Pingyuan, Lu Li, has made contributions to Emperor Wen Cheng, Emperor Xian Wen, and Empress Dowager Feng. Almost everyone in the world knows about it, and Lu Lijue was granted the throne. His status is so high that the three princes may not be able to match it.Yi Hun killed Pingyuan King Luli, which was an open challenge to the emperor and queen mother.

Thinking of Emperor Wencheng's last words, Yan Yihun had no ambitions, was brave and upright, and could be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, Empress Dowager Feng couldn't help sighing, she realized that from time to time, people's hearts are not enough, and Yi Hun at this time may be usurped The meaning of the throne.

The death of Lu Li made Empress Dowager Feng see Yihun's ambitions clearly, and also prompted Empress Dowager Feng to give up Yihun's fantasy of returning power, making Empress Dowager Feng determined to get rid of Yihun.

Lu Li was killed by Yi Hun, prompting Empress Dowager Feng to start her first real transformation, which laid the groundwork for her future becoming the Queen of the Ages.Empress Dowager Feng began to re-understand a series of events and reposition her goals in life.

Because Empress Dowager Feng suffered from extermination when she was young, and was the daughter of a sinner in the palace, she later became a noble person with the support of Lu Li, her aunt Feng Zhaoyi, and Empress Dowager Bao, and finally used tricks to cast a golden man to become a queen. After her death, she became the empress dowager again, and her life trajectory and social status have undergone earth-shaking changes.

But Empress Dowager Feng only wanted to gain a foothold in the imperial palace in the early days, especially after becoming a queen, she wanted to be a good wife and mother, husband and child like ordinary people.Although the fact made her become more scheming and finally ascended to the empress position, she still regarded Emperor Xianwen Tuo Bahong as her own, and only wanted to be a noble empress dowager, but she didn't have much ambition for power.

But Lu Li's death made her start to re-understand the changes inside and outside the court. She had to re-examine her role and reconsider her social responsibilities.

She realized that when Dawei was in danger, she needed to come out to rectify the chaos.She is educated, influenced by Confucianism, the core is the sense of responsibility, Empress Dowager Feng is now thinking about such a chaotic situation, the emperor is young, what should she do as the empress dowager?Therefore, she realized that she had to be responsible to the country and the people.Therefore, she began to transform from the role of husband and son to a real politician.

In the past, there was no government affairs, but now it must be done, with courage and strategy.Second, we must re-understand Yi Hun.Yi Hun had made military achievements, but he was domineering and had many disputes with ministers. Some ministers were arrogant, but he had no ambition to usurp the throne.Now that the emperor is in mourning and himself burned, they regard Yi Hun as an arm.Now Yi Hun dared to kill Lu Li, which meant that Yi Hun had now become the most powerful and dangerous opponent.

Yi Hun was the general of chariots and riders before the death of Emperor Wencheng. Lu Li would be killed by Yi Hun because he underestimated his opponent. Empress Dowager Feng must accept this lesson and not underestimate Yi Hun.Therefore, it is impossible to get rid of Yi Hun immediately, one must have a mature plan and wait for the opportunity.

The third is that we must readjust our impression to the outside world.Empress Dowager Feng originally portrayed the image of the world's subjects as a queen who is motherly and respectful to the world, and she keeps everything going.Empress Dowager Feng decided to maintain this image without making any changes in order to confuse Yi Hun and his followers.

Although Empress Dowager Feng thinks she has to pretend to be unaware of Yi Hun's ambitions, but at the same time she has to adjust certain impressions, which is limited to a small extent.Now all the officials are terrified and don't know what to do.Now let the emperor know that there is support, and let the ministers in the court know that there is support.

This is her coming out to quietly let everyone know that the Great Wei Dynasty, with Empress Dowager Feng around, the country will not be chaotic.The most important point is that all words and deeds must be carried out under confidential circumstances, and Yi Hun cannot be aware of it.Otherwise, the coup d'etat of Yi Hun would be difficult to defeat, and it would even cause the consequences of ruining lives. Therefore, the killing of Yi Hun had to be carried out under extremely confidential circumstances.
