After Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty took over the government in the fourteenth year (490) of Taihe, tuoba hong rectified the rule of officials, established the three-chief system, implemented the juntian system, moved the capital to Luoyang, comprehensively reformed the old customs of Xianbei, replaced Xianbei with Hanfu, replaced Xianbei with Chinese, and changed Xianbei's surname to Han, and at the same time severely suppressed the conservative nobles who opposed the reform.
Tuoba Hong only wanted to reform, because he knew that if he did not reform, in a few years, Northern Wei would not survive in the world, so his determination was unstoppable, Tuoba Hong's first empress Feng Qing was the third daughter of Feng Xi, Empress Feng's brother, because he resolutely did not speak Chinese, he must follow the old customs, and was abolished by Tuoba Hong.
Feng Xi's second daughter Feng Run was made empress, Empress You, and the woman who Tuoba Hong loved most in her heart was Empress You, although Empress You entered the palace at the same time as her sister Feng Qing, she first won Tuoba Hong's favor, but because of illness, she returned to her mother's house, so Feng Qing was once crowned empress.
However, Tuoba Hong always worried about Empress You, as soon as he learned that Empress You was cured, he took her to the palace, but because the empress's seat was already seated, Tuoba Hong sealed Empress You as Zhaoyi, second only to the empress's seat, and Tuoba Hong's favor for Empress You was not less.
Later, Empress Youshun Shunli was made empress, which was even more favored, tuoba hong was also the emperor who hurt his wife the most in history, but tuoba hong had to do more than raise eyebrows with empress you, as an emperor, but also a ming jun, naturally to focus on state affairs, Tuoba Hong often stayed in the army to boost morale and carry out the southern expedition.
But Empress You, who was alone in the empty room, was lonely and unbearable, and without hesitation, she brought Tuoba Hong a big green hat, and later Tuoba Hong was temporarily stationed in Runan due to illness, and his sister Princess Pengcheng quickly stepped up and told her brother about Empress You's "adultery".
Tuoba Hong felt that the five thunderbolts were thundering after hearing this, and he did not want to believe it, after all, he was sincere about Empress You, and Tuoba Honggui was the king of a country, and Empress You's boldness was too great, but Tuoba Hong did not want to believe it, and then the eunuch Liu Teng rushed to the military camp and reported to Tuoba Hongmi about the affection between Empress You and the deacon Gao Bodhisattva in the palace.
Tuoba Hong's heart could not bear such a thing, and at this time, Empress You sent someone to test Tuoba Hong, Tuoba Hong pretended not to know, but secretly arrested people for interrogation, and Empress You's people were all recruited, and in this way, Tuoba Hong was aggravated by anger.
Later, back in Luoyang, Tuoba Hong personally interrogated his wife, and Empress You's lover Gao Bodhisattva not only confessed to the "adultery" one by one, but also told Tuoba Hong: Empress You and her mother cursed Tuoba Hong with witchcraft in the palace.
In the twenty-third year of Taihe (499 AD), the 33-year-old Tuoba Hong ordered the empress to be buried before his death, and then closed his eyes forever.
