Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Now that Empress Dowager Feng has seen through Yihun's ambition and is determined to get rid of Yihun, her mind is all on this important matter.After experiencing the battle in the harem, Empress Dowager Feng became more thoughtful.She knew that the situation in front of her was not good for herself and the little emperor, so if she made Yi Hun anxious, she might really push him back, then the queen mother and the emperor might encounter accidents.

She decided to restrain her front, show weakness to Yi Hun on the surface, let his ambition grow more and more, secretly make sufficient preparations, and must wait for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Yi Hun while ensuring the safety of herself and the emperor.

Empress Dowager Feng thought over and over again, and finally drew up four strategies for herself to deal with Yihun.Not long after Emperor Wencheng passed away, Emperor Xianwen was mourned in the harem when he was young. According to the etiquette system, he could not meet people easily.However, the emperor is different from ordinary people, and exceptions can be made.

Empress Dowager Feng clearly realized that Yi Hun just used the period when the emperor was in mourning and recuperating from his wounds to cultivate his own power and forcefully punish others, thus leading to today's situation.

Yi Hun took advantage of the fact that the officials could not see the emperor, and achieved the purpose of isolating the inside and outside.Empress Dowager Feng decided to propose that Emperor Xianwen should go to court, but Yi Hun was still in charge of major matters.This is in line with the practices of previous dynasties, and Yi Hun did not dare to openly refuse the emperor to go to court.

Empress Dowager Feng believed that if the emperor went to court every day and the ministers invited them face to face, Yi Hun's policy of isolating the inside and the outside would be cut off.It will be more difficult for Yi Hun to do evil again, at least he no longer dares to pretend to be against the emperor openly.

This is the second plan that Empress Dowager Feng proposed, to refuse to correct the edict, so that even if Yihun wanted to kill the minister, he would not dare to pretend to be the emperor's order. The minister hated Yihun's misconduct even more, and the emperor could prevent Yihun from opening up Kill the ring to preserve the vital force of the court against Yi Hun.

The third strategy Empress Dowager Feng decided on was to paralyze Yihun.Now that the emperor has gone to court, according to the ancestral system, it is not appropriate for Empress Dowager Feng to appear in public.Empress Dowager Feng expected that Yihun would definitely take this into consideration and would not object to the emperor going to court.Because Empress Dowager Feng understands that if she insists on proclaiming the imperial court, Yi Hun, as a minister, cannot and dare not stop her.If the little emperor came to the court, and could prevent Empress Dowager Feng from proclaiming the court, this would be the best choice in desperation for Yi Hun.

After all, the emperor was young, and Yi Hun didn't take the little emperor seriously.Empress Dowager Feng is very different, there are many trusted people in the court, and Empress Dowager Feng is extremely alert, which Yi Hun fears the most.Therefore, Empress Dowager Feng's three strategies seem to be independent, but in fact, the three strategies are naturally formed and interlocking with each other.

In order to make Yi Hun lose his vigilance, Empress Dowager Feng secretly decided to strictly urge Emperor Xianwen, not to express his opinion much when going to court, except for preventing Yi Hun from killing ministers at an appropriate time, Yi Hun was in charge of other important matters.Including Empress Dowager Feng herself, she was also prepared, and basically responded to Yi Hun's request.

Yihun's party members once suggested to Emperor Xianwen and Empress Dowager Feng that Yihun should be promoted because of his outstanding achievements. Empress Dowager Feng and Emperor Xianwen agreed to promote Yihun to Lushang Shushi, giving him great power.Later, he took the initiative to designate Yihun as Taiwei, ranking first among the three princes.

The prime minister has great power and can surpass the three princes. It can almost be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand people.Except for the emperor, no one has the power to restrain the prime minister.Emperor Daowu, the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was aware of this. Since the founding of the country, he has never established the post of prime minister, and his descendants have followed this system after they became emperors.

When Yi Hun was conferred the post of Taiwei by Empress Dowager Feng and Emperor Xianwen, some containment measures were taken at the same time.Yi Hun is the Taiwei, the head of the three lords, with great power, but when the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Feng appointed Yi Hun as the Taiwei, they also appointed Liu Ni, the Zhonglang general who made great contributions when he supported Emperor Wencheng as the emperor, as the Taiwei. Situ, who was also highly respected and loyal to the emperor, appointed his slave as Sikong.

Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves are all trusted by the little emperor and Empress Dowager Feng.Now that the position of the three princes has been established, the power of Yihun, the head of the three princes, will naturally be restrained. This will allow Empress Dowager Feng to order the little emperor to live in the harem for a funeral, while she will calm down and recuperate, and thus have an affair with Li Yi.

What Empress Dowager Feng didn't expect was that because she believed in the last edict of Emperor Wen Cheng, saying that Yi Hun was loyal, upright, unambitious, and could be reused with confidence, she gave Yi Hun an opportunity. Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves, and Zhongshu Ling Gaoyun were able to monopolize power.

What made Empress Dowager Feng even more regretful and terrified was that Yihun's ambitions had swelled to an unimaginable level, and he dared to hide the truth from the emperor and empress dowager, and pretended to be the prime minister, ranking above the three princes and all officials. In the world, no one can restrain Yi Hun anymore.

Even the little emperor and Empress Dowager Feng are unable to confront Yi Hun in terms of strength at this time.Therefore, Empress Dowager Feng decided to paralyze Yihun and show weakness to Yihun, making him feel that the emperor is immature and useless. in the eyes.

Empress Dowager Feng secretly made up her mind to push the young Emperor Xianwen to the stage to attract Yihun's attention, while she continued to stay out of government affairs as before, slowly accumulating strength in secret, waiting for the opportunity, and deal Yihun a fatal blow.

At this time, the Tuoba family had established the Great Wei Kingdom for more than 100 years. Many princes and close relatives were enfeoffed in various places, holding heavy troops, and there were still many ministers in the capital who were loyal to the royal family. These factors are what Yi Hun is most concerned about.

Although Yi Hun's confidant, Jia Xiu, had been granted the title of Minister of the Palace, in charge of the Suwei Yulin Army inside and outside the Forbidden Palace, but the Suwei Yulin Army in the Northern Wei Dynasty did not recruit Han people, and they were all composed of members of the Tuoba clan.The leaders of these Suwei Yulin Army are all Tuoba's children, so they are naturally loyal to the emperor.Although he usually obeyed Jia Xiu's command, once Yihun really rebelled, I'm afraid these guards and imperial forest troops would immediately point their swords at Yihun to defend the emperor and queen mother.

Empress Dowager Feng's three strategies are interlocking, showing weakness and secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the time to come.Empress Dowager Feng thought that as long as Yi Hun was paralyzed so that he no longer had any fear of Emperor Xianwen and herself, then Empress Dowager Feng, who was accumulating strength in secret and waiting for the opportunity, would be a little more than Yi Hun who was arrogant in the open Advantage.

Empress Dowager Feng understood that the three strategies she had set were only effective in killing Yi Hun in the court and the palace. The military power of the country openly rebelled.

This external problem is obviously more important than the three internal policies.Finally, after careful consideration, Empress Dowager Feng decided on the fourth major strategy of internal and external liaison, laying out a well-designed heaven and earth for killing Yi Hun.
