The Northern Wei Dynasty was a state founded by the xianbei ethnic minority. In 386 AD, Tuoba Jue (Emperor Daowu of Northern Wei) established the Daiguo, later changed the name of the state to "Wei" and called the emperor on the throne, becoming the first regime of the Northern Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and thus began a 148-year history.
In 499, Emperor Xuanwu succeeded to the throne as the 8th emperor of Northern Wei. At the beginning of the succession, it showed the model of the good rulers in the dynasties: expanding Luoyang, developing production, attacking the southern dynasty to the south, attacking Rouran to the north, and the country entered its full glory. Emperor Xuanwu was a firm believer in Buddhism and often invited monks and nuns to preach Buddhism.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the encounter of the "Buddha"</h1>
Empress Dowager Hu Ling, originally of the Hu clan, was a native of Anding (present-day Gansu) and was born into a family of eunuchs. Her aunt worked as a nun in a nunnery, and since she was a child, she studied Buddhism with her aunt, and she was familiar with it, and these early experiences also brought opportunities to her life.
She is already a woman of a rich family, but she is not willing to be mediocre, and she has the heart of "sparrow to phoenix". She gave the opportunity to teach the teachings at the palace, spreading rumors that her daughter Hu Shi looked like a fish and a goose, a closed moon and a shy flower, and that her moral character and virtue were very good.
Emperor Xuanwu was a firm believer in Buddhism, and naturally believed in the nun's words. Therefore, he summoned the Hu clan into the palace, saw that she was indeed as the people said, and was very happy, and crowned the Hu clan as the Chenghua Shi woman.
A few years later, in 510 AD, Hu Shi gave birth to the crown prince Yuan Xue, "mother with a son gui", and was crowned as Chonghua (Southern Dynasty female official name, concubine title).
Just two years later, Yuan Xue was made crown prince. Before the Hu clan, Yuan Ke already had a family, many wives and concubines, and the reason why Yuan Xue was made crown prince was that Yuan Ke was devoted to Buddhism, but most of his heirs died prematurely.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, there was also a saying that "the son and the noble mother died", that is, if the biological son was made crown prince, he would have to die. This was not Hu's original intention, so he secretly turned to Liu Teng, Yu Zhong, and many other ministers of the DPRK to advise Yuan Ke to abolish the "death of the son and the noble mother" system.
Yuan Keben was a loyal person. Seeing that hu had already given birth to a prince, and that he was meek and miserable, he could not help but feel compassion, so he accepted the minister's advice.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > making waves</h1>
Hu Shi escaped from death, and naturally he was cautious from then on. In 515, the 33-year-old Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke died, and the 6-year-old crown prince Yuan Xue succeeded to the throne, that is, The Xiaoming Emperor.
Yuan Xuan honored Emperor Xuanwu's empress Dowager Gao as empress dowager, and his own mother, Hu, as imperial concubine. Since his son had become emperor, Hu used his power to force Gao to become a nun and become the empress dowager himself.
Because Yuan Xue was young and could not handle state affairs, the Hu clan went to the court to listen to the government, and all the affairs of the DPRK and China were first taken care of by themselves. The former emperor has passed away, the new emperor is young, and he has the right to listen to the government of the dynasty, and the ambition and desire of the Hu clan are becoming more and more intense.
She first forced the emperor's younger brother Yuan Yi to do something with her. There are no impermeable walls under the heavens, and this scandal was spurned by the ministers of the DPRK and China when they heard about it. In 520, the leaders of the dynasty, Yuan Fork, Changqiu Qing Liu Teng, and others broke into the palace in the name of King Qin, killed Yuan Yi, and imprisoned the Hu clan.
However, Liu Teng and Yuan Cha were not bent on the imperial court, and the reason why they entered the palace to serve the king was that they wanted to control the government. Sure enough, after they gained power, they sold officials and knights, raised concubines and prostitutes, and forced the good to be prostitutes and the people to be slaves to satisfy their selfish desires.
In 523, Liu Teng, the changqing of Changqiu, died, and the leader Yuan Cha was overstretched in dealing with the Hu clan. Hu and Yuanyong, the King of Gaoyang, agreed on a plan and surrounded and annihilated Yuancha.
The Hu clan came to the court again, spoiling Zheng Yu, Xu Qi, and others, and committing adultery in the palace. At this time, she learned the lesson of the last time, while satisfying her desires, she cultivated henchmen in the DPRK and China, and whenever the wind blew, she went on a killing spree.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > intensified</h1>
At this time, after the Northern Wei Dynasty experienced the control of the government by Liu Teng, Yuan Fork, and Hu Shi, the people's hearts were scattered, the righteous ministers were angry and did not dare to speak, and the people in the DPRK were complicit from top to bottom, the people everywhere were gossiping, bandits and bandits were rampant, and the country was in danger.
Emperor Xiaoming grew up day by day, began to have his own thoughts, and saw that the dark clouds of the country covered the sun, all because of his mother's absurd behavior, and there were many words of dissatisfaction in private. Hu Shi also noticed this through the minions of the dprk, and suspicion between mother and son was rampant, and secretly began to fight for life and death.
Hu's behavior was increasingly disliked, and the male pets Zheng Yu and Xu Qi spoke to Empress Hu, and it was better to attack first. In 528, Empress Dowager Hu poisoned Emperor Xiaoming with the help of Zheng Yu and Xu Qi. Poor Yuan Xue, who had a sense of justice in his heart, died violently, only 19 years old.
In order to stabilize the government, The Hu clan established Emperor Xiaoming's infant daughter Yuan Shi as emperor. The Yuan clan was originally born to Pan Chonghua, a concubine of Emperor Xiaoming, who had just been born a few days ago, and was declared "crown prince" by the Hu clan, and was historically called Yuan Girl.
After The Yuan maiden succeeded to the throne, the Hu clan saw that there was nothing unusual in the imperial court, so they deposed the Yuan clan and installed Yuan Zhao, the son of Yuan Baohui the Prince of Lintao, as emperor. When the Yuan girl succeeded to the throne, she was less than a few days old, and she became emperor for less than a day, that is, she was deposed and became the first female emperor in the history of our country.

Although there was no wave in the DPRK, when the news of Emperor Xiaoming's violent death spread throughout the country, everywhere was eager to move.
Erzhu Rong, the son of the Duke of Liang County, who was then the Assassin of Wanton Prefecture, originally led troops to suppress the peasant revolt in the north, and became a force to be reckoned with. When he heard the news, he led his troops to attack Luoyang in the name of avenging Emperor Xian and conspiring against King Yuanyong of Gaoyang.
At this time, hu shi was only focused on lust, and he had the ability to organize the Janissaries to resist Erzhu Rong's attack. Erzhu Rong quickly entered the city, and Hu Shi summoned all the palace ladies of the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards to shave their hair as nuns, hoping that Erzhu Rong would spare himself.
On April 13, Erzhu Rong killed hundreds of princes and ministers, then escorted Hu and YuanZhao to Heyin, where they were buried in the Yellow River, and then installed Yuan Ziyou, the son of King Wuxuan of Pengcheng, that is, Emperor Xiaozhuang of Wei ascended the throne (this is the famous change in Heyin). The poor Hu Clan died.

Possessing a charming beauty, Hu learned the teachings from his aunt since childhood, was born smart and intelligent, married Emperor Xuanwu under the guidance of his aunt, and gave birth to Emperor Xiaoming.
"The empress dowager is intelligent and versatile, and her aunt is a nun, and she relies on her young children to get a little righteousness in the Buddhist scriptures." - Book of Wei"
I could have enjoyed the glory and wealth of my life, but indulged my desires, first listening to the rumors of the male pet and poisoning my son, and finally ending up with the tragic fate of sinking the Yellow River, which is really sad.
She is like a glamorous, poisonous poppy flower, swaying in the long river of history.
