Power in the World: After Eternal Age

All the officials heard Gao Yun's performance, and they were worried about each other, so they all hurriedly bowed down, and the words made the adults justified, and begged the queen mother and the emperor to think twice.

Empress Dowager Feng smiled and said: "Gao Aiqing, but it's okay to say. Besides, what else can Gao Aiqing say?"

Gao Yun said: "Although Yihun is dead, the officials of the court and those who have ties to Yihun should be treated differently. The Empress Dowager Mingjian, Yihun is dead, but before he was executed, he was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Most of the generals who led the army were Yihun has served under him for many years, and there are many people who are loyal to Yihun. If everything is strictly dealt with, I'm afraid that Yihun's cronies will be frightened, and they will all die anyway, and there may be a mutiny."

Emperor Xianwen said angrily: "Your Excellency's words have been exaggerated! The Empress Dowager decided on Yihun's four strategies, how can she not consider the matter of the world's soldiers and horses? Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, Tuoba The five imperial uncles in Xiaoxincheng all have a secret decree from the Empress Dowager, and each of them will send soldiers from the fiefdoms to wipe out Yihun's henchmen, why should they be afraid?"

Seeing the emperor's reprimand, Gao Yun kept silent.Now that Empress Dowager Feng believed that Emperor Xianwen was not fit for the great task of governing the world, she had made up her mind to come back and face the court. Although she had her own opinions in her heart, speaking out by herself might cause criticism.After all, although she is the empress dowager, she is the daughter of the Han family after all.The Northern Wei Dynasty was built by the Xianbei people, and the princes and nobles were all loyal to the Tuoba clan.Therefore, the Empress Dowager made up her mind that she had to borrow the words of her ministers if she wanted to be in court and listen to the government.Gao Yun is the representative of all officials, and he is the best candidate for the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Feng said calmly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhongshu Ling has gone through three dynasties, and he has been stable and reliable in his work, and has many outstanding opinions. The emperor does not need to blame him, and listen to Mr. Zhongshu Ling."

She turned to Gao Yun again and said: "Gao Aiqing, I have said that today, I can speak freely in the court, and I promise that everyone is innocent. If Gao Aiqing has anything to say, you can say it."

Gao Yun bowed and said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager! I believe that although the soldiers of the world have been in the hands of Yihun for a long time, they are not the descendants of Yihun, but soldiers of the imperial court! There was a mutiny, although the Empress Dowager ordered Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng five uncles to suppress them after enfeoffing them, and there were a lot of troubles!"

"My minister thought that the soldiers under Yihun's command were the emperor's soldiers; the soldiers of the five emperor's uncles, Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng, were the soldiers of the feudal lords. Soldiers. Isn't it strange that the emperor is the son of heaven, but he uses the soldiers of the princes to destroy the soldiers of the emperor?"

Empress Dowager Feng nodded slightly, and Gao Yun said again: "If the emperor decides to do it, the five uncles of Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng will fight against the old Yihun army, regardless of victory. No matter what the burden is, we can't solve it quickly. If this is the case, our people's livelihood will be withered and our military power will be almost destroyed. If Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty and Rouran of the North come to attack, how can we stop it?"

Empress Dowager Feng praised Gao Yun when she heard the words, Emperor Xianwen saw that the Empress Dowager agreed with Gao Yun's words, although he was displeased, he didn't dare to reprimand Gao Yun anymore, and sat silently on the dragon chair.

Gao Yun said again: "Has the emperor ever thought about it? If Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng fought against the old tribe of Yihun, all five would win. The emperor's uncle is very powerful, but the emperor has few soldiers. The minister is strong but the master is weak, and the country will lose the country!"

Empress Dowager Feng said: "What Gao Aiqing said is very true. Your Majesty can follow Gao Aiqing's words and handle the world's major affairs."

Emperor Xianwen was displeased and kept silent.Seeing that the time was ripe, Gao Yun knelt down and shouted: "Minister Gao Yun risked his life to remonstrate! I think that the emperor is young and energetic. In this troubled autumn of our Great Wei, it is appropriate to practice a policy of consolation rather than high-handed governance. The Queen Mother Your Majesty has a deep understanding of strategy, a genius through the ages, and a broad-minded mind. If the Empress Dowager comes to court, she will be able to turn the tide and revive my great Wei's foundation. The old minister Gao Yun, I implore the Empress Dowager to take back the imperial edict, when the emperor was young , Proclaiming the system in the court! If the empress dowager refuses, and the minister Gao Yun kneels down, I ask the empress dowager to think twice!"

Empress Dowager Feng pondered over and over again, seeing the situation in front of her, all the officials knew it in their hearts, and they all knelt down to ask the Empress Dowager to come to the court to appease the order.Amid the begging voices of the ministers, the Empress Dowager looked sideways at Emperor Xianwen.

Although Emperor Xianwen was anxious to be in charge, he always regarded the Queen Mother as his biological mother, and he admired the Queen Mother's strategy in his heart. Seeing that all the ministers asked the Queen Mother to be in charge, although he was very angry, there was nothing he could do.

Seeing the Empress Dowager staring at him, Emperor Xianwen quickly got down from the dragon chair, and said to the Empress Dowager: "Mother, my son and minister are young and don't know the government. Just now I heard the words of the Zhongshu Ling, and my son's minister suddenly opened up! Together, I implore the queen mother to rule in court!"

Under the repeated entreaties of Emperor Xianwen, Empress Dowager Feng stood up and said to all the officials: "Everyone who loves you, all of you are flat! Since the emperor and all the officials have asked me to be in charge of the court, I will be in charge If you push it back again, I fear that the hearts of the emperor and all the officials will be chilled. This palace will take care of the government for the time being, and after two or three years, when the emperor grows up, this palace will retreat to the deep palace and ignore political affairs!"

The court immediately cheered, and all worshiped the queen mother and the emperor.Since the Empress Dowager had agreed to Gao Yun's words, she must use Gao Yun's policy to treat Yihun's party members with tolerance, and the officials were only half relieved.

Empress Dowager Feng said: "Gao Aiqing's performances are all accurate. The generals living outside, although they belonged to Yihun's old army, are all soldiers of the emperor and have made many military exploits for the great Wei. None of the generals participated in Yihun's rebellion. Therefore, the palace pardoned all the generals of Yihun's old tribe who were not guilty. The decree came, each guarding one side and guarding against foreign enemies; Tuoba Tan, Tuoba Zitui, Tuoba Xincheng, Tuoba Tianci, and Tuoba Xiaoxincheng five The emperor's uncle's troops will all be returned to the fief, and the court will allocate additional money and food to reward the five emperor uncles!"

The ministers shouted long live, and the queen mother said: "Zhongshu ordered Gao Yun to be an upright and honest official, a model for all officials, and now it is played directly to eliminate the great troubles of the country. Therefore, the palace authorized Zhongshu to order Gao Yun to walk Participate in the decision-making process, and be crowned Duke of Xianyang!"

Gao Yun thanked you, and the officials were excited.Empress Dowager Feng understood the importance of military power. Yi Hun was dead and no one was in command of the soldiers of the country.Although there is no suitable candidate at the moment, a person trusted by the Empress Dowager must be temporarily in charge of the military power.Therefore, Empress Dowager Feng thought of Tuobapi, the Shangshu in the palace.

Although Tuoba Pi is old and lacks much resourcefulness, he is not suitable to be in charge of the world's army and horses. However, it is precisely his two shortcomings that make him the best candidate in the eyes of Empress Dowager Feng.

According to the Queen Mother's secret order, Tuoba Pi lurks beside Yi Hun by doing bitter tricks, and promptly reports Yi Hun's intention to rebel.The Empress Dowager took him as the General of Hussars to take pictures of the army and horses in the world, so as to fill the gap for a while.Tuoba Pi felt the kindness of the Queen Mother, and he would risk his life to repay the Queen Mother, and the military power was naturally in the hands of the Queen Mother.Kuang Tuobapi was old, and during the reign of Empress Dowager Feng, if she found a good soldier who was loyal to her, she could make Tuobapi go back to retirement for the elderly, and use the talented person as a general of hussars.
