Ask what the world's love is - the annihilated love between the deposed emperor Yuan Qin of the Western Wei Dynasty and Empress Yuwen

author:Listen to the view of history

After watching zhou Xingchi's "Big Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair" children's shoes, will be more impressed by the word "love than Jinjian", an encyclopedia explained it as "describing feelings are very firm, often made in the love of men and women", it is quite reliable, but the dog tail continues to sable a sentence "gold, referring to metal" is more ghostly.

Star-like love

The earliest source that Can be found by Jin Jian is a sentence in Bai Lotte's "Long Hate Song": "But the heart is like Jin Dianjian, and the heavens and the earth will meet each other." And in the yuan song "Dead and Alive Fan Zhang Ji Huang", there is also a sentence of "love is strong and golden stone, never change", but here is the love of men and men, we temporarily ignore him. But in any case, what the ancients used as a metaphor for deep feelings was gold.

The ancients obviously lacked modern physical knowledge, and we all know that gold is not hard, but very soft, as long as the strength is large enough, it can be kneaded like plasticine into any shape. In addition, gold is also a very inactive metal, and the more formal statement is that it is very inert and difficult to react chemically.

In a way, love and gold are inherently opposed

If love is a soft- and fickle thing, wouldn't it feel disillusioned?

However, this statement seems to have wronged Bai Juyi. After all, for most of history, the only legal use of gold is the royal family, and "Long Hate Song" is exactly what the royals are doing. Lao Bai has long said that "the most ruthless imperial family" ("Harem Words"), it is really much more difficult to find love in the royal family than to pan for gold, so can we understand this metaphor of Lao Bai as irony?

After all, like Sima Yan, emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and Li Longji, the emperor of Tang Xuanzong, there are tens of thousands of harem beauties, and if you want to say that he is "more emotional than Jinjian", I definitely have no opinion.

But there are exceptions to everything.

I have read many articles that say that Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youfan and Empress Zhang are the only models of monogamy in Chinese history, which is another nonsense. Let's not care that Empress Zhang, Zhu Youfan's exclusive favorite, has a lot of physical and psychological reasons (certainly not purely out of love), at least in Mr. Tan Qian's "Guo Yu", it is mentioned that Zhu Youfan has sealed five wives. Despite the controversy, it also makes people feel that the relationship is not pure.

(By the way, I personally think that the best reference material for studying the history of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not the various editions of the "History of Ming" that have been castrated countless times by "My Great Qing", but the "Guoyu" written by Mr. Tan Qian, who calls himself "the remnants of Jiangzuo")

"Guo Yu" is indeed a good book, it is too special and expensive!

Even if Zhu Youfan and Empress Zhang were indeed monogamous, they were not the only ones, and their loyalty and insistence on love were far inferior to those of another imperial couple whose names had almost been obliterated by the dust of history, the deposed emperors of Western Wei, Yuan qin and Empress Yuwen.

Yuan Qin almost left people speechless for a lifetime.

It is said that career and love are the two most important aspects of life, and Yuan qin's failure in his career is simply speechless.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was undoubtedly a very important dynasty in Chinese history, ending the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms that had divided northern China since the Wuhu Rebellion, and Emperor Xiaowen's reform was a monument to ethnic integration. However, northern Wei was eventually destroyed at the hands of powerful ministers and split into Eastern Wei and Western Wei.

The existence of the two puppet regimes of eastern and western Wei has always been very low

And Yuan Qin was one of the two generations of three emperors in the short 22 years of Western Wei's state history--like his father, Emperor Yuan Baoju of Western Wei, and his fourth brother Emperor Gong, Yuan Kuo, he was only a puppet manipulated by the father and son of The Powerful Minister Yuwen Tai, who not only had no authority, but also "ruled by his hands", and even his life could not be guaranteed.

Yuan Qin was only 29 when he died, and this portrait is painted like 92

Yuan Qin was born in the sixth year of Zhengguang (525 AD), and was made crown prince at the age of 10. In the seventeenth year of the reign (551 AD), the 26-year-old Yuan Qin succeeded to the throne, and three years later, because the joint ministers deposed the powerful ministers and regained power, they were discovered by Yuwen Tai, and Yuan Qin was deposed and poisoned in the same year.

After Yuan Qin's death, Yuwen Tai supported his fourth brother Yuan Kuo as emperor. For another three years, Yuwen Tai's nephew Yuwen Hu ordered Yuan Kuo to take the throne of Yuwen Jue, and as usual, offered a cup of poisoned wine, and Western Wei finished playing.

Because Yuan Qin was more kind and dared to resist, his posthumous affairs were worse than his father and brother, and he did not even have a nickname, and was called "Abolished Emperor" in history.

Yuan Qin and Empress Yuwen - a love that has too many words but cannot be said

The two generations of the Three Emperors of the Western Wei Yuan family have always lived in the shadow of Yuwen Tai, and in their hearts they are afraid that they will hate and cannot eat their flesh and sleep on their skins. The strange thing is that the other protagonist in this article, Empress Yuwen, who has been in love with Yuan Qin all her life and is inseparable from life and death, is yuwen tai's eldest daughter.

Yuwen Black Otter is indeed a majestic master

In the first year of the reign, Yuan Qin, who was only 10 years old and had just been made crown prince, married the eldest daughter of Yuwen Tai as a princess. At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that this is a political marriage, and it is only a means for the powerful Yuwen Tai to control the next generation of the Western Wei royal family.

The history books do not record the date of Empress Yuwen's birth, only judging from the fact that Yuwen Tai's eldest son Yuwen Yu was born in 534 AD, when she married Yuan Qin, she was only afraid that she was still a weeping girl, and it would be good to be sensible, and the love god horse was absolutely non-existent for her.

Empress Yuwen not only did not have a record of her date of birth, but she did not even leave her name

The so-called blind marriage and dumb marriage, but so, but who would have thought that this was the starting point of a legendary love story?

There are only a few records of Yuan Qin in the history books, and even the most verbose "General Commentary" does not bother to mention him, let alone Empress Yuwen. Moreover, the history books, especially the correct history, have always focused on their deeds and lacked the spirit of gossip, so we cannot know what stories have happened between this couple who are seriously married early. Fortunately, Empress Yuwen and his father are still a big person in the history books, and we can still find a clue about Yuwen Tai's records of a scaly claw-

"Deposed Emperor Yuwen of the Yuwen clan, daughter of Emperor Wen of Zhou (i.e., Yuwen Tai). On the day of the first birth, there are clouds filling the room, and the weather is long. There is a wind god in the young, so as to display the female figure, and put it around. Zhou Wenyue: "Every time I see this woman, I am very comforting." (Northern History, Vol. XIII, Liechuan No. 1)

- Well, the birth or childbirth of a great person in the history books is always habitually accompanied by supernatural events, which cannot be evaluated. In view of the fact that we have already concluded that Empress Yuwen was married just after she understood things, it is said that she is quite graceful at an age when she is not even Lori, and has already regarded the ancient concubines, virgins, and pets as role models, and personally think that if it is not bragging, this girl is too precocious.

When a great man is born, there will be a Daoist friend who will cross the robbery

Let's keep looking at it --

"Abolish the emperor as the prince, and na as a concubine." and ascended the throne as empress. Zhi Cao Mingxiu, the emperor is deeply important, exclusively favoring the harem, not concubines. ”

Because of her father's nobility, Empress Yuwen was severely praised, and then the focus came: the emperor was deeply important, and he favored the harem and did not put concubines.

But why?

A 10-year-old already has a basic concept of love and hate. Yuwen Taiquan fell to the opposition, and the imperial power of the Yuan clan existed in name only, and Yuan Qin could not be ignorant of this. Moreover, the child's emotions are the simplest, most direct and difficult to conceal, so how will Yuan Qin treat this princess who has been forced on him and does not know what use it is and how to get along?

Bite the bullet? stoop to compromise? Virtual and snake?

Is this too hard for a 10-year-old?

Think about how I treated nasty people when I was 10 years old – rolling my eyes, spitting, swearing, making small reports, and if I had, I wouldn't have spared him...

Although Yuan Qin did not have any great success in his life, the "abolished emperor" was also an emperor, far from being comparable to that of an ordinary man like me, so I could not speculate about what kind of stories and emotions occurred between this young couple who could not be complicated in their minds, so that they could "spoil the harem and not put a concubine" instead.

Fairy tales are mostly used to deceive people

Those who have a dark mind will think that since Yuan Qin's life is in the hands of Yuwen Tai, then the son-in-law, intimidated by the adulterous power of the old man, does not dare to remarry, and can only guard the yellow-faced woman in the family and live - this also makes sense. After all, Yuan Qin was 29 years old when he was poisoned and married to Empress Yuwen for 19 years, but looking through the history books, he could not find a record of the two giving birth to children (even if they died prematurely), which was obviously very abnormal at the time.

Moreover, compared with the attitude of his father and brother, Yuan Qin was extremely dissatisfied with the abuse of power by his father-in-law, and was deposed and killed. If he and the queen were to fall in love and live to the death, then they would inevitably take into account the queen's feelings and would not take such a drastic measure as "plotting".

However, can therefore negate the authenticity of the feelings between Yuan Qin and Empress Yuwen?

Personally I thought I couldn't.

Because the Western Wei state was extremely short and the state administration was usurped by the powerful ministers, the record of this history in the history books was extremely brief and rough, and the focus was basically on the military and political relations between the Eastern and Western Wei and the Southern Dynasty. Therefore, we should clarify the following issues:

1. The fact that the history books do not record that Yuan Qin and Empress Yuwen gave birth to offspring does not mean that they and their husbands have no offspring, perhaps it is just that Yuan Qin and his descendants have no historical value, and historians are too lazy to write it down.

2. Almost all the records of Yuan Qin and Empress Yuwen in the history books are from Yuwen Tai's biography. Considering Zhengshi's extreme disregard for Western Wei, and even calling his emperor "lord of the country" and usurping Wei Lizhou by Yuwen Tai's father and son as orthodox, there must be a problem of praise and demeaning. The history books blame Yuan Qin's deposing on his attempt to assassinate Yu Wentai, but can we also think that this is yuwen tai's desire to add to the crime of no excuse - by abolishing the yuan clan and cracking down on royalists, laying the groundwork for the change of his own dynasty?

3. Yuwen Tai, a powerful courtier, has achieved the ability to manipulate the emperor's abolition and death, and he may indeed be very fond of Empress Yuwen, the eldest daughter, but to show his authority and favor for his daughter by asking Yuan Qin to "not put a concubine" is not only very excessive but also completely unnecessary. To protect her daughter and control Yuan Qin's family affairs, an empress's position was sufficient, and gross interference with the emperor—even the family life of a puppet emperor was extremely bad and criticized under the ethics of the time, and with Yuwen Tai's mind and means, he would not do such a meaningless thing.

Therefore, I think that the love between Yuan Qin and Empress Yuwen is likely to be real, and "not to concubine" is also likely to be his own choice.

The more direct evidence is that Empress Yuwen's birth year is a mystery, but the time of her death is clearly recorded: the Western Wei Emperor was deposed three years ago, and Yuan Qin was poisoned in that year.

(Another pair of Zhu Youfan 1470-1505, Empress Zhang 1470-1541 - just to name, no meaning)

The Biography of Yuwen Tailie in the Northern History records: "The emperor was deposed and collapsed, and later he was also killed for his loyalty to the Wei chamber. ”

Because of the word "misfortune", some people think that Empress Yuwen was also poisoned by Yuwen Tai, but in fact this possibility is very low, after all, this record is related to "Zhou Wenyue: 'Every time you see this woman, it is good and comforting. In the same article, the author is not very likely to contradict himself. After all, Ouyang Xiu praised the "History of the North" in the New Book of Tang, "its book is quite organized, deleting the brewing words, and the book is far worse." ”

With the Song dynasty as the boundary, the previous history books are generally more reliable

Therefore, the greatest possibility of Empress Yuwen's death was martyrdom.

She could not have died. Her father destroyed a dynasty, 3 of her brothers sat on the throne, as long as she lived, even if she could not become an empress, the worst would be a princess. For the customs of the time, it was not a common thing for a widow to remarry, and with the power of her family, the good men in the world could be chosen by her, and the rest of her life would inevitably be accompanied by glory and honor.

But she chose martyrdom, with the life and death of her beloved (and perhaps equally beloved) husband. Moreover, her posthumous affairs are the same as Yuan Qin's, and there is no nickname, we can only call her Empress Yuwen.

Maybe the previous inferences are all wrong, maybe Yuanqin has never had feelings for his empress, but I can't deny that Empress Yuwen's love for Yuanqin is sincere and warm, and can be trusted by death.

If that's not love, then what is love?

Love is two-way, so Yuan and Yuwen should be true love

The lack of historical materials makes this article like a dry argumentative essay, and out of respect for the Yuanqin couple, especially Empress Yuwen, I am clumsy with words, even more ashamed to speculate and make up a story. There is only one "Yanqiu Word", which is thought to commemorate this beautiful and precious love.
