Murong Bai Yao came from an aristocratic family. When he was young, he worked as a lower-level official in the Zhongshu Province. He was cunning at heart, but had a simple and honest appearance. He was soon transferred to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace by Gao Yun, the then crown prince, to accompany Emperor Taiwu in his development. Tuoba Jun, the grandson of Ba Tao, studied.

When Murong Bai Yao got this opportunity, he would not let it go easily. He tried his best to show his loyalty and erudition in the East Palace, and won the favor of Emperor Sun Tuoba Jun.

Emperor Taiwu was murdered by the eunuch Chang Shi Zongai, and Tuoba Yu, the king of Nan'an, became the emperor. Thanks to Feng Zhaoyi and the Queen Mother Bao at that time, Tuoba Jun, the son of Prince Tuoba Huang, the direct grandson of Emperor Taiwu, was saved. In During Tuoba Jun's most critical moment, Murong Bai Yao never left his side and showed his loyalty to Tuoba Jun.

This was actually Murong Bai Yao's gambler's mentality. After Tuoba Yu became emperor, Murong Bai Yao was extremely disappointed. When he saw Zong Ai's monopoly on power and Tuoba Yu's indulgence in wine and debauchery, hope ignited in his heart.

He knew that he had no way to win the favor of the new emperor Tuoba Yu, and he was also worried that Zong Ai would gain power, and Tuoba Yu indulged in wine and women, so he might not be the emperor for long; at the same time, he was not willing to surrender to Zong Ai, for one thing He was not willing to seek a position under an eunuch, and secondly, he also understood that those who wielded power as eunuchs never ended well in history.

Murong Bai Yao was not willing to let his long-term bet on Tuoba Jun be ruined. He even saw the protection and care Feng Zhaoyi and Empress Dowager Bao had for Tuoba Jun. Therefore, Murong Bai Yao placed his hope on Tuoba Jun again. Jun, hoping that one day Tuoba Jun could become the new emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty with the support of Feng Zhaoyi and Empress Dowager Bao.

Sure enough, his bet was right. In just two years, the eunuch Zong Ai killed two emperors in succession, and the officials supported Tuoba Jun as emperor.

After Emperor Wencheng Tuoba Jun came to the throne, he began to cultivate a group of capable ministers. Murong Bai Yao, who had grown up with him since childhood, naturally came into Emperor Wencheng's sight.

Soon, Murong Bai Yao was continuously promoted in the hands of Emperor Wencheng, and after Murong Bai Yao's father passed away, Emperor Wencheng Tuoba Jun issued an edict that Murong Bai Yao should inherit the title of his father Gaoyang Gong.

Murong Bai Yao, who was promoted to Duke Gaoyang, still showed his loyalty to Emperor Wencheng and was very methodical in handling affairs, which won the admiration of Emperor Wencheng.

In fact, Murong Bai Yao's biggest shortcoming is his greed for money, but he has always restrained himself and behaved very cleanly. Because Murong Bai Yao's goal is far from the status of a Gaoyang Duke. Before his more ambitious goal is achieved, Murong Bai Yao behaved more like a rare and talented honest official.

Murong Bai Yao was later promoted to Northern Shangshu by Emperor Wencheng due to his merits. After sitting in the Shangshu position, Murong Bai Yao still clamped his tail and acted strictly in accordance with the law without any favoritism. This made Emperor Wencheng appreciate him even more.

After the death of Emperor Wencheng, Murong Bai Yao's life changed dramatically. Because of his clean official image and excellent ability to do things, he was appreciated by Emperor Wencheng. Therefore, after Emperor Wencheng died, Emperor Xianwen came to the throne and Empress Dowager Feng became the regent. , because there was an urgent need for talents to govern the world, he also began to reuse Murong Bai Yao.

In a short period of time, Murong Bai Yao was moved to the right servant of Shangshu, became the Duke of Nanxiang, and became the general of Annan. Because Murong Bai Yao was talented in literature and martial arts, he fought many victorious battles during the reign of Emperor Wencheng. Especially during the reign of Emperor Wencheng. When Emperor Xianwen was just established, during the Three Kings' Rebellion, Murong Bai Yao was the main force in suppressing the rebellion at that time, and the cavalry general Yihun's army followed orders, and he accumulated a lot of military exploits.

Yi Hun also admired Murong Bai Yao's war strategy, and the two cherished each other and became close friends. Later, Yi Hun was named Taiwei by the Queen Mother, ranking first among the three princes. He also took advantage of the Queen Mother's recovery and the emperor's young mourning.

, stole all the power of the imperial court, and became a big tree that everyone wanted to climb.

At this time, Murong Bai Yao felt that the opportunity had come, and he no longer had to keep pretending. He may have felt that Yi Hun thought highly of him and had an extraordinary personal relationship with him, so he should reciprocate the favor. He was so charming that he began to seek refuge with Yi Hun and fawn over him.

muddy.

At this time, Yihun also began to be suspicious of Jia Xiu and was in urgent need of someone who could advise him. Murong Bai Yao took refuge in him, which made him overjoyed. Murong Bai Yao was better than Jia Xiu in both intelligence and combat.

.

With Murong Bai Yao, Yihun felt that Jia Xiu had no use value anymore. He always felt that Jia Xiu was a threat to him at this time. If his conspiracy with Jia Xiu was spread, I am afraid that neither the Queen Mother nor the emperor would be able to let it go.

Even if Yihun rebels and becomes emperor, if this matter spreads, he will be laughed at by the people in the world.

Jia Xiu is a wise man. After he failed to get the title of Taiwei as he wished, he began to suspect that Yi Hun was secretly causing trouble. Jia Xiu, who was wary of Yi Hun, saw that Yi Hun reused Tuo Pi, the minister in charge of the imperial army, and was good at fighting.

, Shangshu Youpu She, Nanxiang Gong, and Annan General Murong Bai Yao, who were proficient in strategy, knew that the situation was over and that they were of no use to Yihun.

Jia Xiu's sense of crisis was increasing day by day. He keenly felt that Prime Minister Yi Hun was looking for an opportunity to get rid of him. If Emperor Xianwen had not been in charge, he was in mourning in front of all the civil and military officials and did not kill the minister, I am afraid that he would have been killed by Yi Hun.

Hun Jiao was harmed by the edict.

At this time, Jia Xiu thought of taking refuge with the Queen Mother and the Emperor. He realized that the little emperor seemed young, but his almost childish edict had greatly restricted Yihun's hands and feet. This must not be an accident.

Jia Xiu thought about it for a long time, and finally realized that this must be the intention of the Queen Mother, so she asked the little emperor to paralyze Yi Hun at the front desk, while she planned and directed behind the scenes. Jia Xiu knew in her heart that Queen Mother Feng was very accessible, she was secretly there, and Yi Hun was behind the scenes.

Ming, Yi Hun is extremely arrogant, but the Queen Mother is hiding a needle in her skin, but Yi Hun is unaware of it. The strength of both parties is ebbing and flowing, and one day, Yi Hun will be killed by the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

Jia Xiu decided to seek refuge with the emperor and the empress dowager. Although he knew that his collusion with Yi Hun was an unforgivable crime, he still held a trace of luck and hoped to make a contribution to the confrontation between the empress dowager, the emperor and Yi Hun. Even though

Even if the merits and demerits are equal, one's own life must be saved.

He had been waiting hard for the opportunity. Murong Bai Yao came up with an idea for Yi Hun, which gave Jia Xiu an excellent opportunity to please the emperor and the queen mother.

Yihun was extremely powerful, and although he was arrogant, he was not a stupid person. He understood what he had done, and once he lost his power, he would be killed by the emperor and the queen mother.

When things came to this point, Yihun had no way out. Yihun, who had no ambition to be an emperor, now forced himself to the point where he had to become an emperor. Only by becoming an emperor could he save his life.

However, Emperor Xianwen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was just a weak boy at this time, how could it be Yihun's turn to become emperor? What's more, even if Emperor Xianwen died suddenly, there would be other royal family members who could succeed him. Therefore, if Yihun wanted to be emperor, the only way
