Welcome to see this article on history of xiaobian, if you can bring you a little knowledge and analysis, it is the honor of xiaobian, let's take a look at it with Xiaobian!
As we all know, the Sixteen Kingdoms period was very chaotic, the north is the city head of the change of the king banner, this chaotic world was briefly ended by Former Qin, but soon the smoke rose again, the north became a pot of porridge, this time, out of the pot is the Northern Wei. Northern Wei destroyed Northern Liang in 439 and unified the north, while before that, Northern Wei had already destroyed Northern Yan, and the last emperor of Northern Yan, Feng Hong, fled to Goguryeo before the collapse of the state, while his sons Feng Lang and Feng Mi (miǎo) surrendered to Northern Wei.
Out of consideration for appeasing the people, emperor Tuoba Tao of northern Wei took good care of The Feng Lang brothers, and Feng Lang was the official of Qin Yong's Erzhou Assassination History, feng Liaoxi County, and Feng Miao was the Duke of Leling. Years of turbulent life have exhausted Feng Lang, but now that he has finally settled down, he has given birth to a son and a daughter in succession. Soon a catastrophe caused the family to fall apart, and the two younger siblings spent completely different childhoods.
Feng Lang was later reprimanded for the incident, it may be that Tuoba Tao was not at ease with this Northern Yan prince, but Tuoba Tao did not exterminate Feng Lang, and even Feng Miao still brought troops outside, but only buried his young daughter Feng Shi into the palace and became a reserve palace girl. Feng Lang's sister is Tuoba Tao's concubine, so Feng's life is OKAY, but her brother Feng Xi is more miserable.
After the incident, Feng Xi was taken in by Yao's mother Wei, who took him to Feng Miao, who left them behind. But soon Feng Mi was defeated and captured, and from then on stayed in the Ruoran tribe, and Wei Mu could only take Feng Xi to the nearby Yu tribe, where he settled down and raised Feng Xi.
In this way, Feng Xi grew up in the tribe of ethnic minorities from an early age, and at the age of twelve, he was brave and powerful, skilled in bow and horse, and won the support of the tribe. Later, Feng Xi returned to Chang'an, began to learn Confucian knowledge, and when he grew up, he began to travel in all directions and see a lot.
Feng Xi was walking on the obscure road, and on the other side, Feng Shi had already come out of the sky and was crowned a nobleman by Tuoba Jun, the newly enthroned Emperor Wencheng of Northern Wei.
Three years later, the 15-year-old Feng Shi was made empress, she did not forget her brother, shortly after being canonized, she sent someone to find Feng Xi, found him and summoned him to Pingcheng, and asked her husband to make him a champion general, give him the title of Fei Ru Marquis, and then marry Princess Boling Changchang, worship Ma Du Wei, and enter the King of Changli.
In the sixth year of peace (465), Tuoba Jun died young at the age of 25. The next day, the 12-year-old crown prince Tuoba Hong took the throne for Emperor Xianwen, and his mother-in-law Feng Hou was honored as empress dowager, that is, Empress Feng!
Emperor Xianwen of Northern Wei was young, Empress Feng controlled all the power of Northern Wei, and the general female lord was in power, and it was indispensable to put her brothers and nephews in high positions, and then put her nieces in the harem, and Empress Feng was no exception, she named Feng Xi as a taifu and repeatedly awarded rewards.
As Emperor Xianwen of Northern Wei grew older, he could not bear the days of powerlessness. In order to seize power, he retreated to advance, first passing the throne to the crown prince Tuoba Hong in 471, for Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei, and Emperor Xianwen himself became Emperor Taishang, and then carried out various operations to try to control the government.
In 476, Emperor Taishang died, the cause of death became a mystery, anyway, Empress Feng once again came to the court, and appointed Feng Xi as a servant, a master, a zhongshu supervisor, and a consular secretary.
Feng Xi did not have outstanding merits, and the history books commented that he was "not benevolent to the government", and it can even be said that he was bland, but he had a good sister, so he could hold a high position in the imperial court. Moreover, Feng Xi also married all four daughters to Emperor Xiaowen, two were made empresses and two were given the title of Zhaoyi, and Feng Xi's position was as solid as a mountain.
Of course, in addition, Feng Xi has many conditions that people do not have, he knows to be satisfied, and he is deeply self-aware. Emperor Xiaowen gave him the privilege of not worshiping in the court, but he wanted to worship, and Emperor Xiaowen was very satisfied with this, so after Empress Feng's death, Feng Xi was still respected by Emperor Xiaowen, so that he could end up rich and good.
In general, Feng Xi is not a big mistake, although his status is extremely high, but he is very different from other foreign relatives in history, he did not act arbitrarily by virtue of the identity of foreign relatives, of course, he is not perfect, and the most criticized point is that he is very. Feng Xi often recruited folk children as slaves, and when he saw the good-looking ones, he married them home as concubines, and gave birth to a large number of children, and the history books recorded that "there were dozens of children", and even the ancients who were accustomed to seeing more than one husband and many concubines also called them "greedy", which shows that it is indeed excessive.
Feng Xi also deserves to be affirmed, that is, his filial piety, Feng Xi was raised by Wei Mother, although Wei Mother was not his biological mother, but he was very filial to Wei Mother, he has always been devoted, when Wei Mother died, he was covered with a shawl, still barefoot, crying all day, not eating or drinking for three days.
In 495, Feng Xi died, and Emperor Xiaowen posthumously gave him a large number of official positions, prepared nine tin, buried them thickly, and personally made an epitaph for him to show his mourning.
Such a noble foreign relative, although incompetent, is also a blessing.
