We often hear the phrase "unintentionally planting willows into the willows", in fact, this sentence refers to Tuoba Hong, the Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who was forced to ascend the throne, but made a pivotal contribution in history.
Speaking of Emperor Xiaowen, we have to start with his father.
In 471, Emperor Xiaowen's father was only 18 years old, but he had been emperor for 6 years, and he felt that the throne was not interesting and did not want to do it.
He said to the ministers, "This emperor is so uninteresting, I want to give this position to my uncle Tuoba Zi." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the ministers at the bottom had already fallen to their knees: "No, Emperor, this is absolutely impossible, how can the Jiangshan left by the ancestors be given to people at will?" ”
Then, Balabaladi persuaded a lot, and Emperor Xiaowen's father only felt that The Venus in front of him was coming straight up, and he waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, I'll just make a joke."
When the ministers saw that the emperor had retracted his idea, they wiped the beads of sweat from their heads and relaxed their hearts. But Emperor Xiaowen's father had already made up his mind, this emperor was not right anyway, his eyes rolled, hey, isn't there still a personal choice?
This man is his son, our protagonist today, Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong.
Emperor Xiaowen was born in 467, only five years old at this time, but he was very clever, and he wanted to play with his friends for a few more years.
As soon as he guessed the thoughts of his father and emperor, he took advantage of the fact that his father had not yet opened his mouth and took the initiative to say: "Father Emperor, you are so wise, our country cannot do without you." I would only go up to the tree to dig up the bird's nest, and I was often beaten and scolded by my grandmother, and I could not bear the burden of a country. ”
Emperor Xiaowen praised his father fiercely, thinking that he had convinced his father, and when he was secretly applauding his wonderful words in his heart, Yu Guang secretly glanced at his father, and intuitively felt that things were not good, and what was the matter with the father's face of relief and relief?
Emperor Xiaowen was still confused, and a wide palm fell on the top of his head, and Emperor Xianwen stroked his head and said, "Son, I was not at ease!" Now it seems that you are so sensible that I am completely relieved to hand over the country to you. ”
The five-year-old Xiaowen Emperor was immediately petrified, and a crow flew over his head, he had only heard of the pit father, how could he still bring the pit son, and the opportunity that had not been encountered for a thousand years was really bumped by him. So he ascended the throne, and his era name was Yanxing.
Emperor Xiaowen no longer had the opportunity to go up the tree and dig a bird's nest and go down to the river to touch the fish. In fact, he didn't have many such opportunities before.
When he was born, he was crowned prince, every move has a humanoid camera 360 degrees staring at it without dead angles, only occasionally when the camera loses power or malfunctions, he can secretly "play the game", resulting in him always being at the level of bronze, and never embarrassed to say.
Others could still lean into their mother's arms, and his mother, Li Shi, died early because of a regulation called "death of the son and the noble mother", which means that once a son is made the future emperor, the mother must be given death.
As a result, Emperor Xiaowen lived with his grandmother Empress Feng all the time. As a prince, without the company of his mother, he also met a father who picked a son, and it was all tears.
It is precisely because of this system of "the death of the son and the noble mother", his father and grandmother are not mother and son, and they are afraid that the other party will rob their own living territory.
At the age of 10, Emperor Xiaowendi's father was in the PK competition with his grandmother for power, due to the excessive difference in strength between the two teams, he was emptied of blood by a cup of poisonous wine and quit the game.
At this time, Emperor Xiaowen single-handedly challenged the Northern Wei Revival, and the era name was changed to Chengming.
Oh no, he also has a teammate, that is, Empress Feng, who raised him and poisoned his father at the same time, is this person an enemy or a friend? Emperor Xiaowen's heart was very worried.
According to common sense, Emperor Xiaowen must develop obscenely, wait for the strength to grow, come to a wave of counter-killing, and properly play a palace fight.
But the script of this story has not been played according to common sense. Although there are some personal grudges in this old and small room, they are still very aware of the importance of unity to the outside world.
When Emperor Xiaowen ascended the throne, he was still a trumpet, with little skin and blood, and insufficient self-protection, all relying on the output of the large grandmother and the blood replenishment, giving Emperor Xiaowen a solid rear, and only then did he have a later list.
At the age of 15, Emperor Xiaowen's era name was changed to Taihe, which he liked the most, so he kept using it and lent it to his son for a year.
At this time, Emperor Xiaowen finally cultivated himself into the most powerful number in the whole district, but he never bullied people because of this.
Once, when the eunuch in the palace was serving him a meal, he accidentally slipped his hand, and the hot soup spilled on his hand, and the water bubbles bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As long as Emperor Xiaowen's ordinary output, he would be dead, and thinking of this, the eunuch's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground. Emperor Xiaowen just smiled broadly, as if he had given a treatment casually. The eunuch was grateful, and later when he brushed the copy, he always took the initiative to pull the monster.
But as a king, Emperor Xiaowen had always wanted to lead the people of Northern Wei to live a happy life, and he decided to reform Northern Wei.
In 484, the 18-year-old Tuoba Hong, with the assistance of Empress Feng, implemented the first reform, the Feng Lu system.
From the beginning of the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the system set that officials would not be paid feng lu, and feng lu was also a salary.
Seeing that the mood at the scene had been rendered in place, several ministers proposed: "If you don't want to go south, how about staying in Luoyang?" Emperor Xiaowen's face loosened slightly, and the others joined the army of persuading Emperor Xiaowen to stay in Luoyang.
The download progress has reached 99%, Emperor Xiaowen reluctantly agreed to them, then do not go south, stay in Luoyang!
With a clang, the task download was completed, and Emperor Xiaowen quietly gave a thumbs up to the ministers who sang the double reed behind his back, and the tacit understanding between the monarchs and the courtiers increased. The clever boy Emperor Xiaowen's wish was fulfilled, and in 494 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty officially moved its capital to Luoyang, opening a new page in the history of the Northern Wei.
The most difficult first step has been taken, and without doing two things, Emperor Xiaowen issued many decrees in one go to promote reform. These reforms permeate every aspect of life.
Sinicization, it must be thorough. Together, Hufu changed to Hanfu, met an old friend and asked if they had eaten? It has to be in Chinese. Officer? Well, it's the same as the Han system. Learn the etiquette of the Han people, respect Confucius, and promote the atmosphere of respecting the elderly and providing for the elderly with filial piety.
Not only that, the Xianbei people who moved to Luoyang, with Luoyang as their original home, and the Xianbei people who died in Luoyang must also be buried in Luoyang and cannot be transported back to Pingcheng. The so-called birth is a Luoyang person, and death is a Luoyang ghost.
If your name is Emperor Xiaowen Tuobahong, he will say with a serious face, "Please call me Tuoba Hong." He also changed his surname, and Tuoba Hong's name was also YuanHong.
The combination of these reform measures and the previous systems such as the Juntian system and the FengLu system brought the political economy of the Northern Wei dynasty to a new level, and also promoted the cultural integration of the Xianbei and Han ethnic groups.
Emperor Xiaowen's heart of reform was as firm as a diamond, but his crown prince Yuan Ke thought that his father was wrong and wanted to try to challenge the authority, but as a result, under his repeated provocations of fancy death, Emperor Xiaowen ran out of patience and gave him the way to Huangquan Road.
Some officials also learned from the prince, showing their unique personality, and the end was the same as the prince.
Emperor Xiaowen insisted on walking on two legs, not only attaching importance to political reform, but also a good child who studied well, with strong and powerful writing and strong momentum, and now, he will certainly be loved by many grading teachers.
It is a pity that such a good student with all-round moral, intellectual, and physical development died early due to overwork.
After the pro-government, in order to achieve the unification of the world, Emperor Xiaowen had to lead soldiers to attack the State of Qi almost every year. Emperor Xiaowen died of illness at the age of 33 when he fell ill in Gutangyuan (Chizhou, Anhui).
It can be seen that if you want to be a good student for a long time, you must also adhere to physical exercise and combine work and leisure.
However, Emperor Xiaowen's policy of comprehensive Sinicization enabled the Hu regime to be assimilated not only politically but also culturally by the Central Plains civilization. Made a great contribution in history.
