In the ancient history of our country, the causes of death of emperors are strange, some were killed by lightning, some were smothered by palace women with quilts, and some were crushed to death. Even more unfortunate is that today's protagonist was killed by the cheating wife. Speaking of this emperor, he was still a young and accomplished Ming Jun, who was tuoba hong, the Northern Wei Xiaowen Emperor who transformed the Xianbei into a Han nationality.
Tuoba Hong was a very far-sighted and accomplished emperor, and during his reign he carried out drastic reforms and vigorously promoted the policy of Sinicization, which made the Northern Wei prosperous for a while. However, how did such an emperor get angry with his wife?
Tuoba Hong's marriage is destined to be inseparable from a woman with the surname Feng. Because at that time, Tuoba Hong's grandmother, Empress Feng, listened to the government and held the power of the state. Both of Tuoba Hong's empresses were nieces of Emperor Wen's mother, Empress Feng. The first empress, named Feng Yuan, was the daughter of one of Empress Feng's older brothers.
In the fourteenth year of the Northern Wei Dynasty (490), Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei carried out reforms throughout the country, he moved the capital to Luoyang, ordered that he could not wear Hu clothes, and began to lead the people to learn the Central Plains language. The reform was opposed by many powerful people at the time, but Xiaowen Dili defied public opinion and insisted on pursuing his own policies. He himself changed his surname to Yuan, and personally wore Hanfu to the dynasty, playing an exemplary role.
In order to better implement this policy, he also issued a law that people under the age of 30 must learn Chinese and have strict pronunciation requirements. Both officials and civilians wore Han Chinese clothes, without exception, and if there was a violation, they were severely punished, and the court officials were forbidden to punish them. Thus began a vigorous reform movement throughout the country.
This move has greatly developed the economic, cultural, social, political, military and other aspects of Xianbei and eased the national estrangement.
But when politicians reform, one of the most common things is to start with the people around them. For example, Emperor Zu and Wang Tuoba Xiu obediently did so, but Feng Yuan, the pillow person closest to him, did not do so. No matter how Tuoba Hong tried to persuade her, this stubborn woman resolutely did not speak Chinese. In desperation, in July of the twentieth year of Taihe, this woman paid for her stubbornness, and was not only deposed and demoted to a commoner, but also ordered her to spend the rest of her life in Yaoguang Temple, speaking xianbei to the Buddhas.
After Feng Yuan was deposed, Emperor Xiaowen made his cousin Feng Run empress. Feng Run was also Empress Feng's niece, and this woman was not only very arrogant but also hot-tempered. Most men are visual animals, and Emperor Xiaowen is no exception, no matter how many shortcomings Feng Run has, but because she has a good skin, Emperor Xiaowen is very fond of her.
In the years when Feng Run was made empress, the reforms had paid off, and Tuoba Hong was preparing to eliminate the southern regime and complete the great cause of unifying the country. As a result, he spent most of his time on the battlefield, licking blood from the edge of his knife. Emperor Xiaowen often went out to fight, and Feng Run remained alone in the palace for many years, so she did not want to be lonely, so she had an affair with Gao Bodhisattva, an official of the Inner Dynasty. Gao Bodhisattva was very good-looking and physically strong, serving as a eunuch in the palace, but he did not purify himself before entering the palace, and Feng Run liked Gao Bodhisattva very much and often had adultery with him in the palace.
Emperor Xiaowen later fell ill in Runan, and Feng Run became even more unscrupulous. Many people in the palace were dissatisfied with this, and some people with a strong sense of justice informed Princess Pengcheng of the empress's despicable behavior. The princess informed Emperor Xiaowen of the scandal. Emperor Xiaowen was furious and, after returning to Luoyang, arrested Gao Bodhisattva. When Feng Run learned the news, he knelt in front of Emperor Xiaowen and wept bitterly, asking Emperor Xiaowen for forgiveness. At this time, Tuoba Hong was tired and sick because of the journey, and after hearing about this incident, his mood could be imagined. Unexpectedly, the queen she loved well not only did not worry about herself when her life was in danger at any time.
Later, the benevolent Emperor Xiaowen still remembered that Feng Run was Empress Feng's niece and spared her death. However, after this blow, Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei, who was only 33 years old, fell ill and deteriorated, and eventually died on the southern expedition.
On his deathbed, Emperor Xiaowen left a will and death to Feng Run, but still buried according to the empress's etiquette. After Emperor Xiaowen's death, Feng Run took poison and died.
As the saying goes, home and everything is happy, and so is the house of the emperor. Emperor Xiaowen wenzhi was skilled in martial arts, and Feng Run, who was loved by such an excellent man, was still not satisfied, and finally the two of them both took their lives, which was really sad and lamentable!
