Emperor Taishang, 13 years older than his son, came to an abrupt end at the age of 23

Emperor Taishang, there have been many places in China's history, but at the age of 13, he was pleased with guizi (Tuoba Hong, emperor of Northern Wei Xiaowen who made great contributions to national integration), and at the age of 17, he gave up the throne and was called Emperor Taishang, and only the sixth emperor of Northern Wei, Emperor Tuoba Hong.

Born in 454, Tuoba Hong was also the youngest father among the Emperors of Northern Wei.

In 465, after the death of the old emperor, Tuoba Hong ascended the throne as emperor. In 469, Tuoba Hong made the two-year-old Tuoba Hongji crown prince. In October 470, Tuoba Hong was extremely dissatisfied with Empress Feng's behavior of raising her lover and defiling the harem, so he used the excuse to kill her favorite lover, Li Yi.

Young and handsome, Li Yi was versatile and entered the palace as a guard officer and guarded the empress dowager's palace. Empress Feng, who was only in her twenties, fell in love with him at first sight, and the two soon fell in love with each other. As the empress dowager, this is unique in the history of the Northern Wei regime.

Li Yi was killed, and Empress Feng was dumb enough to eat Huang Lianyou, saying that this move also completely intensified the already resolvable contradiction between Tuoba Hong and Empress Feng, and also made Empress Feng firm in her determination to kill Tuoba Hong.

In 471, Tuoba Hong, in order to prevent the harem from interfering in the government and completely excluded Empress Feng from the center of power, took the initiative to give up the throne and pass the throne to his 4-year-old son Tuoba Hong, claiming to be the Emperor Taishang. During his time as Emperor Taishang, Tuoba Hong achieved the most proud achievement of his life. In February 472, in the face of Ruoran's large-scale invasion of the south, Tuoba Hong led a four-way army to march in person, defeated Rouran, and chased it all the way to the Shi moraine Desert thousands of miles away.

In June of the sixth year of Yanxing (476), Empress Feng (who was already the empress dowager by this time) first transferred Tuoba Hong's Sogo Palace, and then, under the pretext of the will of the little emperor, transferred the troops stationed in Pingcheng, Kyoto, in batches. Seven days later, the court officially announced the death of Emperor Tuoba Hong. After Tuoba Hong's death, the temple name was "Xianzu" and the courtesy name was "Emperor Xianwen". Although things were done very secretly, there were many legends outside the palace that Tuoba Hong was killed by Empress Feng.
