China's history has a long history, in such a long time, China has also given birth to a lot of very famous people in history, but in history basically belong to men and women, so most of the famous women are men, but there are few famous women, just like the very famous Wu Zetian and Lü Yan in history, in the long river of history, they have bloomed out of their glory, today to introduce to you in addition to them, another famous woman, then she is in the Northern Wei famous Empress Feng.
It may be said that many people of Empress Feng do not know much about her, her origin was originally very superior, she was a princess of the Northern Yan imperial family, but because the country was destroyed, she could only be very tragically reduced to the fate of being a slave, and even on the way to being a slave, she could not bear the humiliation of it, and also committed suicide, but what many people did not expect was that she not only did not die, but finally became a woman of the Northern Wei Emperor, and even became the empress dowager.
Her grandfather was the king of the Northern Yan dynasty, and by the time she was born, Northern Yan had already been destroyed, and at that time, the north of the country had been unified by Tuoba Tao, and there was no hope for Empress Feng to restore the country. Because Feng's father and daughter were descendants of the previous dynasty, this also led to the imperial court having a defensive heart for them, so the imperial court used the excuse to kill Feng's father, but at that time, Empress Feng was still very young, so she was adopted by Tuoba as a maid.
Because she herself was born very well, she was very good in both etiquette and knowledge, which is why Emperor Wencheng, who had just sat in the position of emperor, was overjoyed, and was soon named a noble title by Emperor Wencheng. This is also divorced from the fate of being a maid. After this, she deeply attracted Emperor Wencheng with her own knowledge and her own beauty, and sometimes Emperor Wencheng had to discuss with her when dealing with major state affairs, and it was like this, and she was crowned empress within two years.
At that time, the imperial family had such a rule, if the emperor's son was crowned prince, then it was necessary to execute the prince's biological mother, because Emperor Wencheng made Tuoba Hong the prince, after his mother was killed, he was raised by Feng, and soon Emperor Wencheng died, in the year of Emperor Wencheng's death, Feng was only twenty-four years old, but because the prince was young, only Feng shi could take on this heavy responsibility, and at that time people's hearts were very unstable, and many wen and military ministers had the psychology of rebellion. But Empress Feng suppressed them one by one with her own iron wrists.
That is, when Emperor Xianwen was able to govern, Empress Feng directly began to choose to retreat behind the scenes, but something unexpected happened, after Feng Tai retired for 5 years, Tuoba Hong passed on his position to his son, and the consequence of this was to let Empress Feng out of the mountains again, for the situation at that time, this was very beneficial to the country, because this could enable Empress Feng to cultivate a new Ming emperor for the country.
