Empress Feng of Northern Wei was known as "Northern Wei" Wu Zetian by posterity, and she was a historical female figure who was truly a prominent figure in the history of celebrities and celebrities. Empress Feng went through four generations of the Northern Wei Dynasty, helped her husband Emperor Wencheng ascend to the throne, and developed Buddhism.
During the reign of Emperor Xianwen, Empress Feng helped her to kill her powerful minister Yihun, and the famous Northern Wei Xiaowen Emperor's reform was even more indelible to Empress Feng.
But it is such an iron-blooded red face, she is also a woman, Empress Feng and Emperor Wencheng's relationship is very good, the two are young and bamboo horses, young husband and wife, but why does Empress Feng always refuse to have children? Is there something hidden in this?
The Feng family was originally a nobleman of Northern Yan, and in the turbulent world of wind and rain, the lives of ordinary people were like ants. When the war swept in, it was full of corpses, and Feng Was Born in this period. Due to the defeat of his uncle, his father was executed by the emperor, and his mother fled with her son, and for a time Feng shi was lonely and bitter and became the daughter of a sinner, so Feng shi was captured and became a slave to sin in the palace.
At that time, Feng's aunt was a concubine of the emperor, so Feng did not suffer much after entering the palace, but instead she met the most important man in her life, Tuoba Mao. The young Tuoba Mao and Feng Shi had a very good relationship, and what was discussed between the two young children was not a game, but a profound Buddhist scripture or a poem that ruled the country through the ages.
Later, Emperor Zhongchang killed Emperor Taiwu tuoba tao and established Tuoba Yu the prince of Nan'an on the throne. In October of the same year, after Tuoba Yu was killed, with the support of Shangshu Luli and Liu Ni, Tuoba Mao was immediately crowned emperor, with the era name Xing'an, as Emperor Wencheng of Wei. At this time, he was only 13 years old, and the half-grown child had become the master of the fate of all peoples. And on top of this supreme imperial power, it also left the footprints of the Feng family.
After Tuoba Mao ascended the throne, he soon made the 12-year-old Feng Guiren. This was what the emperor had in mind, and at the same time, it was something that Feng Guiren could not ask for. Feng Guiren's heart was very clear, she knew that Tuoba Mao was already in a high position, and it was even more difficult to want her companionship for the rest of her life.
But at this time, Tuoba Lian had already regarded Feng Guiren as his lifelong partner, three years of companionship, family affairs, state affairs and world affairs, common seeking and action in the struggle for the throne, countless things have told him that Feng Guiren is his best partner.
But these two people who love each other dare not have the love crystallization of two people, why is this? Why did Tuoba Haogui become emperor, but did not dare to let the beloved woman give birth to a child?
This stems from a very terrible ancestral system in the Northern Wei Palace. When Emperor Wu of Han was old, he made his youngest son Liu Fuling emperor, and he was afraid of interfering in the harem after Liu Fuling ascended the throne, so he gave the crown prince's birth mother Lady Hook Yi, and The Northern Wei Daowu Emperor Tuoba Jue formulated the system of "if the son is the prince, the mother will die".
The young emperor Tuoba Mao had no choice but to let Feng Guiren die because of a child. And Feng Guiren was not willing to lose everything that had not been easy to come by.
Later, Feng Guiren was promoted to empress, and after consultation between the two, he finally decided not to have children, and took Tuoba Hong, who was less than two years old at the time, to raise him, and Feng Guiren regarded him as his own and did his best to love him.
In the sixth year of peace, Emperor Wencheng, who was known as "the degree of a monarch", died young, at the age of 25. The pain of widowhood made Empress Feng feel pain, washed her face with tears all day, whimpered, and even wanted to martyr for Emperor Wencheng, thanks to the help of others at that time, she picked up a life, and from then on, she had an epiphany about the matter of life and death, and decided to grit her teeth and face everything in the future.
The day after Emperor Wencheng's death, the 2-year-old crown prince Tuoba Hong succeeded to the throne as Emperor Wen, and Feng Hou was honored as empress dowager. At that time, the general Yi Hun bullied this orphan and widow and wanted to plot to usurp the throne. In the end, Empress Feng relied on her courageous and decisive political ability to quell the Yihun Rebellion and stabilize the political situation. Later, she took control of the imperial government herself, and was known as "Northern Wei Wu Zetian".
In the fourteenth year of Taihe, he supported Emperor Xiaowen for 14 years, and Empress Feng, who was 49 years old at the time, died in the Taihe Hall of the Pingcheng Imperial Palace, and was known as the Empress Dowager of Civilization. And leave a will after death, for their own funeral, all from Jane!
It will be buried after a month. The system of the mountain tomb is frugal, and its room facilities and coffins are built without labor costs. There are no name vessels in the mausoleum, and as for the objects of plain tents, manyin, and porcelain tiles, they are also not placed.
He held the Northern Wei regime for more than 20 years, and his national strength reached its peak. Later generations have praised him as "the queen of the ages", becoming one of the outstanding women in ancient China.
