If you open the historical classics to the Northern Wei Dynasty, you will find that this is one of the few in historyIt is a foreign ruling regime that can be deeply supported by the Han people.
If you ask which emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty can win the support of the Han people the most, it must be countedEmperor Xiaowen, who implemented the "Sinicization Reform", Tuoba Hong.
Emperor Xiaowen ascended the throne at the age of 5 and was raised by the Han Empress Dowager Feng since he was a child, so he was deeply influenced by Han culture when he grew upSurrender to the higher level of education of the Han people.
After the pro-government, Emperor Xiaowen decided to implement the "Sinicization Reform" and absorb the cultural essence of the Han peoplePromote ethnic integration and social development in the Northern Wei Dynasty
Historical facts have proved that the "Sinicization Reform" has indeed consolidated the ruling ability and dominance of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who is quite far-sighted and understands reform, can be called a generation of heroes. **Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Plan However, even if Emperor Xiaowen is the Son of Heaven, he has a majestic strategy in governing the countryBut he has repeatedly suffered from unsatisfactory emotional aspects, and died in middle age because of this.
What's going on here? Everything has to start with Emperor Xiaowen's grandmother, Empress Dowager Feng. The imperial family of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a minority Xianbei tribe, because the rulers of the Xianbei tribe had always been worried about their relatives interfering in politics, so they retained an ancestral system - whoever established a crown prince would kill his biological mother.
Emperor Xiaowen was no exception, since he was canonized as the crown prince, his grandmother Empress Dowager Feng ordered the death of Emperor Xiaowen's biological mother, and left Emperor Xiaowen by his side to raise him personally.
Empress Dowager Feng is a Han Chinese, and she is also a "power control".
When raising Emperor Xiaowen, there was little gentleness, seriousness and harshness were often there, and they were always rightInstilled Han culture and ideas in Emperor XiaowenOnce made Emperor Xiaowen feel helpless and lived like a year.
Emperor Xiaowen ascended the throne as emperor after the death of his father, but he was only 5 years old that year, so the power of the court fell into the hands of Empress Dowager Feng.
The young Emperor Xiaowen was ignorant of the worldIn terms of governing the country, I can only follow the wishes of my grandmother, Empress Dowager Feng, thinking that more than 10 years of life like a puppet must have made Emperor Xiaowen suffer a lot of grievances but could not speak.
Although Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong was very puzzled by Empress Dowager Feng's harshness and behavior, he was benevolent and filial by nature, stillHe has a deep dependence and affection for Empress Dowager Feng. As Empress Dowager Feng grew old, the management of the government began to be inadequateGrowing up, Tuoba Hong is also becoming more and more matureI have my own ideas and opinions in my head.
Empress Dowager Feng, who has always had an undiminished desire for control, hopes to let her matrilineal Feng family enjoy privilege and glory foreveronIt was the idea of selecting the best qualified from among the daughters of his brother Feng Xi to enrich Tuoba Hong's harem.
Feng Xi has 3 daughters and 1 son, his daughter Feng Yuan is only over 10 years old, and she is still young, and there are 2 daughters who are adultsOne is called Feng Miaolian and the other is Feng Shan, and a son who is also a concubine, named Feng Shu.
After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Feng ordered Feng Miaolian and Feng Shan, who were already adults, to be brought into the palaceNamed Tuoba Hong's concubine.
After entering the palace, the Feng sisters tried their best to please Tuoba Hong, and Tuoba Hong catered to the sisters whatever he liked.
Therefore, Tuoba Hong likes these 2 concubines very muchespecially pampers her beautiful and charming sister Feng Miaolian
The jealousy and xenophobia between the harem women sometimes even disregard family affection.
Because Tuoba Hong had not yet been canonized as an empress, the two sisters Feng Miaolian and Feng Shan began to compete in secret, hoping that they could firmly occupy the heart of the young emperorBecome a genuine queen as soon as possible and dominate the harem.
However, the sisters who started the palace fight did not expect that they both suffered a more tragic ending because of each other's plots and designs:Feng Shan, the younger sister who was pregnant with the dragonborn, suffered a massive hemorrhage during childbirth, and her body died twice, and her soul returned to heaven.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Miaolian contracted a severe cough and coughed up blood for a while.
Empress Dowager Feng was afraid that Feng Miaolian would spread diseases in the palace, so she used the excuse of letting Feng Miaolian go out of the palace to recuperatesent her to the family temple in Feng's mansion to become a nun.
Feng Miaolian was riddled with stubborn diseases, and was ruthlessly sent to the temple as a nun, and soon after she lost her hair, she heard the news that her sister Feng Yuan was accepted into the palace and canonized as a concubine.
During her illness, she saw clearly the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the royal familyI can't help but have a grudge against Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong.
But as a woman, she is also seriously ill, and her life is not guaranteed for a while, what can she do to counterattack her life?!
A.D. 490,Empress Dowager Feng died, and Emperor Xiaowen officially took charge of the government. Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong's long-suppressed talents and ideas were finally able to be displayed to their heart's content.
On the one hand, he guarded filial piety for the empress dowager, and at the same time listened to the government in the court, favored the advanced nature of the Han culture, Tuoba Hongzun Confucianism, changed the Han surname, banned the Hu language, implemented the household modulation and the Juntian system, changed the official system and legal orders, and also moved the capital to Luoyang despite public opinion.
Emperor Xiaowen's reforms not only eased the estrangement between him and the Han people, but also led to the rapid development of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the increasing activation of commercial activities and handicraft productionThe move of the capital to Luoyang also further strengthened the Northern Wei's rule over the Yellow River Valley.
In 493 AD, Emperor Xiaowen, who had ended his filial piety for Empress Dowager Feng, complied with Empress Dowager Feng's last wish and canonized Feng Yuan as empress.
And Feng Miaolian, who was recuperating in the temple of Fengfu's family, was gradually recovered because she was rescued by a miraculous doctor named Gao BodhisattvaWhen the news that Feng Yuan was made queen reached the Feng Mansion,The family was happy, but Feng Miaolian was angry and secretly sad.
Moved the capital to Luoyang. Loneliness and jealousyFeng Miaolian actually fell in love with the handsome Gao Bodhisattva.
Gao Bodhisattva is not a good type, seeing such a beautiful and moving woman throwing herself into her arms, she immediately understood, and the two of them took medical treatment and ** as a coverThere was a personal affair in the family temple.
Feng Yuan was made the empress, not out of Emperor Xiaowen's true wish - Feng Yuan did not smileis also very old-fashioned, she doesn't like to wear Hanfu,She didn't want to learn Chinese, so Emperor Xiaowen only treated her politely, not really loved her.
One day, Emperor Xiaowen actually remembered his beloved Feng Miaolian in his spare time, and heard that her cough had been cured, and Emperor Xiaowen immediately ordered to take Feng Miaolian back to the palacewas named Zhaoyi, and his status was second only to Empress Feng Yuan.
Feng Miaolian, who was in love with Gao Bodhisattva, did not dare to disobey the holy decree no matter how bold she was.
But after returning to the palace, she could no longer accept Emperor Xiaowen from the bottom of her heartShe hated this man for being weak and ruthless, hated why he didn't dare to come forward to stop Empress Dowager Feng and left himself in the palace.
It's a pity that Emperor Xiaowen thought that Feng Miaolian's relationship with him had not changed, and he let Feng Miaolian favor the haremdeliberately snubbed Queen Feng Yuan, who disagreed with her.
Gradually,Feng Miaolian began to covet the position of the queen, because she was able to accompany Wang from time to time, Feng Miaolian took the opportunity to slander Feng Yuan.
After a long time, Emperor Xiaowen hated Feng Yuan even more, and finally issued an order to abolish Feng Yuan's throne and make him move to Yaoguang Temple in the palace to become a nun.
After that, as long as he was not busy with political affairs, Emperor Xiaowen stayed in Feng Zhaoyi's bedroom all day, and Feng Miaolian seized the opportunity to please him in every possible wayWhen Emperor Xiaowen was full of joy, she also put forward the idea of wanting to be the queen.
In 487 A.D., Emperor Xiaowen drove the southern expeditionBefore the class teacher left the court, he announced that Feng Miaolian was canonized as the queenand let her rule the harem. Emperor Xiaowen led the troops all the year roundFeng Miaolian was lonely, and quickly ordered someone to find Gao Bodhisattva, and lead him into the palace and let him do things in the palace.
Feng Miaolian allowed Gao Bodhisattva to enter and leave her dormitory at any time, but the paper couldn't contain the fire, and soon the queen's ugly behavior secretly spread all over the harem.
Feng Miaolian has a younger brother named Feng ShuBecause he was optimistic about Princess Pengcheng, the newly widowed royal sister of Emperor XiaowenSo he begged Feng Miaolian to help him marry Princess Pengcheng as his wife.
Feng Miaolian took advantage of Emperor Xiaowen's absence in the palace, and wanted to use the queen's majesty to force Princess Pengcheng to agree to the marriage with Feng Shu.
How do you know that Princess Pengcheng is a straightforward woman, and she took a small sedan chair overnight in a fit of anger and went straight to the Runan military camp where Emperor Xiaowen was locatedcried about the queen's forced marriage, and by the way, he also reported the queen's bad behavior of messing with the palace.
Emperor Xiaowen was angry when he heard this, but because of his face, he couldn't make a noise, so he quietly sent his henchmen back to the palace to find out the factsreally got the evidence that Feng Miaolian had fornicated with the palace people.
Emperor Xiaowen, who was angry and anxious, was in a hurry, and he became ill because of this, but in order not to make trouble and add chaos in his busyness, he still asked people to keep it secret, and left his henchmen in the palace to continue to monitor the queen's actions.
After the queen knew that Princess Pengcheng rushed to the military camp overnight to ask for a meeting with Emperor Xiaowen, she knew that something was wrong, and immediately ordered someone to send Gao Bodhisattva out of the palace, and repair a letter and send it back to Fengfu to ask her mother for help.
Feng Miaolian's mother was a concubine, and she did not have the wisdom and open-mindedness to persuade her daughter to repent, but conspired with her daughterPerform sorcery to curse the Emperor for his quick deathHe also plotted to set up another prince in the future to reign and let himself control the power.
And all these conspiracies and tricks were all in the eyes of Emperor Xiaowen's henchmenEmperor Xiaowen, who secretly played a hundred miles away.
After Emperor Xiaowen returned to the palace victoriously, he secretly interrogated Empress Feng MiaolianFeng Miaolian, who was frightened, had no choice but to confess truthfully, The angry Emperor Xiaowen pointed at the queen and scolded.
Feng Miaolian had no choice but to kneel and crawl to Emperor Xiaowen's side, crying and scolding herself.
The queen of pear blossoms with rain doesn't know which heartstring of Emperor Xiaowen touched again, in short, Emperor Xiaowen did not give the queen deathjust let her move into the cold palace and ignore her from then on.
Emperor Xiaowen, who missed the old heartache, was heartbroken but couldn't let go, and soon fell ill and collapsed.
Heart disease is very difficult to treatEmperor Xiaowen, who had not healed for a long time, knew that his life was short, so he found his younger brother Pengcheng Wang Tuoba to advise on the future.
and talked about the treatment of Feng Miaolian: After I passed away, I gave her suicide, and her funeral rules still follow the queen's etiquette, so as to leave face for the Feng family.
In 499 AD, Emperor Xiaowen, who was only 33 years old, returned to heaven after illness, and Tuoba Xian obeyed his brother's edict and watched Feng Miaolian drink poisoned wine and dieAnd use the queen's ritual system to send her funeral, and her nickname is Queen You.
Throughout history,It is not surprising that the intricacies of love and hatred in the imperial family are not uncommon.
Although the benevolent Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty had the talent of the world, he was helplessA soft-hearted master who is deeply involved in the love of children.
He can't jump out of human nature, although it is affectionate and righteous, but it also led to his middle-aged loss of life and the failure of the great cause, otherwise the dynasty of the Northern Wei Dynasty must be a different look!
