Tuoba Pi was demoted from his position.

Lu Li's son, Lu Rui, also asked Yuan Hong to drive the chariot on his behalf and attended Feng Xi's funeral in person, but he was also demoted.

Now no one dares to gibber any more.

That's what he said, but it can't be done like this, not to mention that the people in Daidi are all conservatives who oppose moving the capital. Yuan Hongruo is the most unreasonable and is worried that these people will rebel.

So, he went to pat Prince Yuan Xun as a sign of comfort.

The Wei State has the custom of a prince supervising the country, and the Zen Dynasty was the first to be established by Emperor Xianzu Xianwen Tuoba Hong. Therefore, Prince Yuan Xun was deceived by Mu Tai, Tuoba Pi and others for a while, and he actually turned out to be He was forced to live in the old capital in order to coerce Yuan Hong into appointing the prince to supervise the country.

Mu Tai, Tuoba Pi, Lu Rui and others had no rebellious intentions. They were just opposed to moving the capital and were resistant to a series of reforms. However, regardless of whether they were rebellious or not, they actually dared to coerce the emperor. They were afraid that their lives would be too long. , as a result, after a battle, they were killed or moved to another place.

Because Tuoba Pi lived in Bingzhou and did not participate in this matter, it was his son Tuoba Long, brother Tuoba Chao and others who conspired. However, Tuoba Pi allowed it to happen and did not stop it. Therefore, Tuoba Pi was spared from death, but was He was demoted to the common people of Taiyuan.

In August of the 20th year of Taihe (496), when Yuan Hong went to Songyue (now Songshan), he asked Yuan Xun to stay at Jinyong City.

Yuan Xun is described in historical records as "not good at calligraphy and fat in appearance". If this is true, looking at his body shape, he is also a lazy and easy-going type. It is precisely because of this body shape that he hates the heat in the Central Plains. , not only did not listen to Yuan Hong's reform of "wearing Hanfu", but also wore Hufu, and always wanted to return to the North.

Something had already happened in Dai. Although it was said that he was coerced, nothing could go wrong again. Gao Daoyue, the concubine among the princes, always tried to persuade him earnestly, but Yuan Xun didn't listen.

Later, Yuan Xun embarked on the old path again, was deceived again, and conspired with the left and right people in Xiye Gate to summon herding horses and ride lightly to Daidi, and killed Gao Daoyue in the ban. He was thirty-five years old at that time. .

The leader, Yuan Yan, kept a tight guard and did not let Yuan Xun escape. At night, the situation was calm.

Shangshu Lu Xiu reported the matter to Yuan Hong on horseback. When Yuan Hong learned about it, he was shocked and regretful.

Yuan Xun's move could become a lead for rebellion for the Wei State, which was still uncertain about the matter. Therefore, it was strictly kept secret from the outside world and it was still planned to arrive at Biankou before returning to the capital.

After returning, he personally beat Yuan Xun for more than a hundred times before giving up. Yuan Xun was dragged out by others, lay in bed for more than a month, and was imprisoned in the villa in the west of the city.

In December, Emperor Xiaowen deposed Yuan Xun as a civilian and placed him in Heyang. He sent troops to guard and monitor him, and provided him with food, clothing, and other supplies, which only kept Yuan Xun from hunger and cold. Yuan Xun was in trouble and regretted it. , and have the intention to repent, insist on reciting Buddhist scriptures, bowing and worshiping, and sincerely do good deeds.

Gou Xiong believes that a person like Yuan Xun cannot become the king of a country. He does not know what to do and what not to do, he allows his own temper to run wild, and he is easily deceived. Let alone a king who is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, he is an ordinary person. , this kind of careless and arbitrary behavior will eventually lead to self-destruction.

In April of the 21st year of Taihe (497), Yuan Hong went to Daidai, and then to Chang'an. Lieutenant Li Biao secretly reported to Yuan Hong, and Yuan Xun conspired with the left and right.

When Yuan Hong was in Chang'an, he asked Xing Luan, the minister of Zhongshu, and his younger brother Yuan Xi, King of Xianyang, to go to Henan and consecrate Yuan Xun to death at the age of fifteen.

In the winter of the 22nd year of Taihe (498), Yushitai ordered Shi Longwen to commit a crime and be punished with death. In order to reduce his sentence, he reported to Tingwei that before Yuan Xun committed suicide, he wrote a letter to Yuan Hong in his own handwriting.

He was unaware of the conspiracy, but was detained by Lieutenant Li Biao and Imperial Censor Jia Shang.

Li Biao and Jia Shang were certainly punished, but why didn't Yuan Hong investigate? Or maybe the history books distorted the facts again?

However, such repeated rebellions show that the situation at that time was critical. Every change had to face social turmoil, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was not immune to the disaster. In "The Biography of Yu Lie", it is said: "Dai

There are many old clans in the countryside who share the same evil, but there is only one sect that is fierce and untainted." It can also be seen how many people were holding back the bad water at the beginning.

In the 23rd year of Taihe (499), Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Yuanhong died on the way to the Southern Expedition at the age of thirty-three. Because he was on the march, the funeral was not announced secretly.

When he arrived in Wancheng, he sent Zhang Ru, a member of Zhongshushe, to summon Prince Yuan Ke and make the news of Emperor Xiaowen's death public to the public. After Prince Yuan Ke arrived in Luyang, he held a funeral ceremony for Emperor Xiaowen.

The emperor's position is Emperor Xuanwu.

A series of reforms carried out by Empress Dowager Feng and Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong (Yuan Hong) played a positive role in the recovery and development of the social economy. They greatly developed Xianbei's economy, culture, society, politics, military and other aspects, and eased ethnic barriers.

It is known in history as "Emperor Xiaowen resurgence".

From the above description, it can also be seen that the reform faced difficulties and pressures. However, Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong took office at the age of nineteen and resolutely suppressed the opposition, ensuring the implementation of the Sinicization policy and preventing the reform from being aborted.

However, we also need to see the final impact of the restructuring:

The Northern Wei Dynasty, which was once prosperous due to reforms, quickly fell apart and perished just thirty years after Emperor Xiaowen's death. This fact itself will naturally cause historians to question Emperor Xiaowen's reforms (especially his sinicization).

They thought deeply about the role and significance of measures) and formed different opinions. Therefore, there were many people who had a negative attitude towards Emperor Xiaowen's reforms.

One is:

The idea and content of Emperor Xiaowen's reform was to restore rituals and music, which was "pedantic Confucianization" and "negative Sinicization". What he learned was mainly the dross of Han culture and the red tape and decadence of the Han people.

two is:

Emperor Xiaowen's reforms not only failed to revitalize the Northern Wei Dynasty, but instead accelerated the decline of the Northern Wei state and the Tuoba nation. It is believed that Emperor Xiaowen's Sinicization reform lost Tuoba's strengths - bravery and simplicity, which weakened the military strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty. This is Emperor Xiaowen's

The important reason why Wei could not be powerful in the end.

The third is:

Emperor Xiaowen's uncompromising Sinicization, especially the transplantation of the Dading surname and the gentry system, quickly corrupted the Xianbei Tuoba nobles who had no cultural accumulation. This seriously eroded the vigor and vitality of the rulers of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

This intensified social contradictions and conflicts, causing the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty to rapidly turn from prosperity to decline and collapse.

In short, Emperor Xiaowen's Sinicization reform was not suitable for the national and ethnic conditions of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was the beginning of the political crisis of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The revolutionary nature of the north was completely replaced by the corrupt nature of the south. The lesson was extremely profound.

Gou Xiong also holds a negative view on the "Taihe restructuring".

Due to limited information, Gou Xiong does not fully understand the specific circumstances of the "Taihe restructuring". Therefore, Gou Xiong does not know whether the above rules are correct or not. I only post them to give you some information.

The reason why Gou Xiong holds a negative attitude toward the restructuring is because the "Taihe restructuring" is too fast, too tough, and has the tendency to undermine efforts.

It can also be seen from history that every reform, including the "Wang Mang New Deal" between the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, was called the emperor who traveled back in time. His reforms ultimately failed. Why? Because they were too eager for quick success.

China's reform is successful. In addition to complying with historical development, it was also achieved bit by bit. The five-year plans are not just for show.

From the beginning of the Opium War, the nation gradually awakened. Until now, it has been step by step. China's achievements today are due to the efforts of everyone in the past. Therefore, these emperors wanted to complete the reform in a short period of time, which was not the case.

Destroying seedlings and encouraging growth, what is it?

Society develops with the development of human beings, and human ideology determines the form of society. Tuoba Hong's sinicization was also for the better development of Wei State, but he was too hasty.

In fact, ancient emperors are very similar to modern Western presidents. When an emperor comes up and enacts such a decree, and another one comes up, he may overthrow the previous system and issue another decree. The decree is changed overnight, leaving the country without integrity.

Continuous development is probably why the emperor was so anxious about the innovations he made.

In fact, in the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, there was already a trend of sinicization. In addition to still retaining the characteristics of Beidi, it also mixed in the culture of China and the Western Regions. There were already people wearing Han clothes and talking about sinicization. If it is guided reasonably and step by step, sinicization will be achieved.

It will definitely come true, but the "Taihe restructuring" is too aggressive and pushes this good sign to the side of resistance.

In addition to the above reasons, another reason is Xiong Xiong’s selfishness. Pay attention! It’s selfish, so it’s mixed with a lot of personal emotions.

The reason that caused Gou Xiong to become selfish was that the Tuoba family name was changed to the Yuan family name.

"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname", which has a bit of a Jianghu flavor, but in fact, it is also an affirmation of oneself. There is a popular saying now: No matter how ordinary it is, it is still a limited edition. Gou Xiong believes that this sentence can be changed, and there are also limited editions

There are several, but we only have one. It can be changed to: No matter how ordinary, it is the only one.

When Tuoba Hong changed his surname, it seemed like he was denying himself, his bloodline, and the Tuoba family's ancestors.

Of course, changing the surname is for the sake of ethnic integration, but Gou Xiong believes that whether the ethnic groups are integrated or not cannot be changed by changing the surname.

Maybe Gou Xiong is a little too unreasonable at this point, but as I said before, this is Gou Xiong's selfishness. In the history of the Jin Dynasty, the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Gou Xiong liked the Tuoba family very much. As for the reason,

, I don’t know, haha.

Furthermore, after Tuoba Hong, the Northern Wei Dynasty entered turmoil. Soon it was divided and the country was destroyed. The glory of Tuoba Shiyijian, Tuoba Gui, Tuoba Si and Tuoba Tao period was no longer there. Because I like it, so

Gou Xiong has a lot of dissatisfaction with Tuoba Hong and Queen Mother Feng.

Uh-huh, Bear is just unreasonable on this issue. I have already said that this is Bear's selfishness. Don't get serious about this. There is no reason for the emotion of "like", haha. (Unfinished)
