This is really difficult. If we don't find out clearly, we will always have a problem in our minds. Although Xuan and the others also think that it is unlikely to be the Wei State, who knows, what if Empress Dowager Feng has other thoughts?
Yuan He led his people and met with Hyun and the others dejectedly. He did not want to stalemate the relationship with Kun Yuguo, and he was also trying his best to find clues to get rid of the suspicion, but it was very regrettable.
Yuanhe was a little tired and sat on a chair casually and said to Hyun:
"General Zhuo, I know that no matter how much I guarantee, Wei will still not be able to get rid of suspicion without solid evidence."
Although I had a lot of doubts about the Wei State in my heart, I couldn’t say that on my face. So, Xun smiled and said:
"General Yuan, don't worry. We naturally believe in your majesty. We have cooperated for so long and have a long-term relationship. We are destined to be together. How could I doubt your majesty? General Yuan doesn't have to worry too much."
When Yuan He looked at Hyun, he couldn't help but turn his eyes and look at Ning Yu, who was standing behind Hyun. Yuan He always felt that this servant's aura was too strong and he couldn't ignore his presence.
One of Yuanhe's guards wandered outside the door for a while. Yuanhe stood up and said to Yun:
"I won't bother General Zhuo here anymore."
Hyun also stood up and said:
"General Yuan, you're welcome."
The two of them bowed and Yuanhe left.
After the first attack, Yuanhe didn't take it to heart. He planned to worry about it after he came back. But when he was attacked again, Yuanhe didn't dare to ignore it anymore. He hurriedly wrote a letter to Tuoba Hong and Queen Mother Feng. When the guard came, It was with the reply that Yuan He wanted to see what the emperor and the empress dowager had to say.
After Yuan He left, Ding Wangcai who was at the door closed the door and Ning Yu sat down.
He picked up Hyun's teacup and took a sip:
"These people are really good at pretending, it's difficult..."
Hyun was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Ning Yan's arm, his eyes gleaming with excitement:
"I have an idea!"
The two came to the place where the man in black was imprisoned. At this time, the man in black was not only removed from the poison in his mouth, but also stripped naked by Lai Hou. They huddled together shivering to keep each other warm.
Hyun forgot about this, rushed in excitedly, and quickly escaped, bumping into Ning Yan behind him.
Ning Fang asked puzzledly:
"What's wrong?"
Hyun rubbed her nose and said in confusion:
"I won't go in. I've told you the method, so you can do it."
Ning Yan took a step forward, looked inside, and couldn't help laughing, which made Hyun glare at him angrily.
Ning Fang smiled and hugged Xun, winking at Jiazi and the others. They all heard when Xun explained the method to Ning Fang on the road just now. After receiving Ning Fang's look, several people walked in. Ding Wang Cai and Lai Hou moved two chairs, and Ning Yu waited outside with Hyun.
The punishment that does not hurt a hair, but can make the person under trial worse than death, has piles in his mind. I really have to thank the punishments all over the world for thousands of years.
Now Jiazi and the others are tickling these men in black, and wherever there are various kinds of ticklish flesh, Jiazi and the others are taking good care of them.
At first, these men in black didn't take it seriously, but as time went on, they couldn't stand it anymore, and their laughter was mixed with howls.
Finally someone couldn't help but yell:
"You guys, let go! You guys, come in pairs! There's no one like this!"
Hyun and Ning Yan, who had been listening outside the door, looked at each other, smiled, and said in unison:
"Tuyuhun."
As mentioned before, Mandarin was not spoken in ancient times, so judging from the accent is the simplest and most direct way. This was also inspired by Yuan He and Ning Fang.
Yuan He was from Nanliang, which is in today's Qinghai and western Gansu, and Kunyu was in today's central and eastern Gansu. Therefore, Yuan He and Ning Yu naturally spoke with different accents.
The special forces only appeared before World War II, and first appeared in Germany. Therefore, it was impossible for the army in the Southern and Northern Dynasties to train soldiers like the special forces. Their quality in all aspects was not even comparable to that of the army of Kun Yu. It is even more impossible to take into account language issues. Being able to eliminate all objects with national characteristics is already considered amazing.
Now that we have found the culprit, we naturally have to tell Yuan He. When people get old, they can't stand things anymore. They always dwell on trivial things in their hearts, which will cause insomnia and a series of other problems. Therefore, Yuan He must be told. Peace of mind.
Yuanhe learned that they had found the culprit and asked excitedly:
"Then who's going to attack us?"
Hyun smiled and helped Yuan He sit down next to the chair:
"General Yuan, we can't talk about this. The other party's target is me, and we are not easy to bully. No matter how they come, we have to fight back ourselves so that we can stand upright in the future."
Yuanhe thought about it and felt it was right, but he was a little worried:
"When you need me, you must say it. I am obligated to do so."
Hyun chatted with Yuan He and made him laugh for a while. Yuan He returned to his room feeling relaxed and quickly told Empress Dowager Feng the result.
Empress Dowager Feng was also extremely anxious in Pingcheng:
What bastard is causing trouble for Wei at this time? Although Kunyu is a small country, it cannot be underestimated. If there is a fight...
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Feng did not dare to think about it. Wei State was only calm on the surface, but in reality there was a turbulent undercurrent. At this time, she must not dare to make any mistakes.
I had been worried for several days, with dark shadows appearing under my glasses. Finally, when I saw the good news from Yuanhe, I took a long breath and nestled comfortably in the chair.
Let’s not talk about how the Kunyu Kingdom and the Tuyuhun Kingdom will deal with it. Let’s fill in the two holes dug earlier.
After the mysterious death of Emperor Xianwen Tuobahong, Tuobahong succeeded to the throne at the age of five. At this time, the Empress Dowager Feng became the Empress Dowager and continued to handle the affairs of the court.
Now let’s fill in the first pitfall: when Tuoba Hong abdicated, the successor he chose was his uncle, not his son.
Generally speaking, when establishing an heir, the first thing that comes to mind is your own son.
Well, actually this is not very tenable.
Because the nomads are in the form of a tribal alliance, young heirs cannot control the overall situation. Therefore, when selecting successors, the nomads have the habit of "establishing the elders rather than the young." During the Tuoba Hong period, the Northern Wei Dynasty still retained the nomads. However, the ministers in the imperial court strongly recommended Tuoba Hong.
Don't think that there are many Han people in the imperial court. Although Han people were appointed in the Northern Wei Dynasty, very few Han people were given important positions. This was exactly the same as the Qing Dynasty. It was only at the end of the Qing Dynasty that Han people began to be used in important positions. Therefore, Han officials were undervalued. To put it bluntly, the Han inheritance rules were unlikely to hold up in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In such an environment, the ministers tried their best to support the young Tuoba Hong. Hum, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
In addition, historians have proposed that Emperor Xianwen Tuoba Hong was born in 454, and Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong was born in 467. That’s right! Tuoba Hong became a father at the age of 13! This... you don’t need to move a bunch of people.
Let’s talk about growth and development, so some historians suspect that Tuoba Hong was actually the illegitimate son of Empress Dowager Feng.
In this case, those ministers strongly recommended Tuoba Hong, and they found the reason.
Of course, ahem, Bear said seriously, these are all inferences. What are the facts? If we can really travel back in time one day, maybe we will know. So, inferences are inferences, don't confuse them with history.
Well, the first hole has been filled, now let’s fill in the second hole: after the death of Emperor Xianwen Tuoba Hong, the Tuoba family died.
The first step to fill in the hole: let’s talk about Empress Dowager Feng.
The woman Empress Dowager Feng left her own mark on the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although some people doubted her identity, in any case, her activities did have an impact on the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Let’s first take a look at her presiding over the reform of official salaries.
Since the founding of the country by Tuoba Gui, officials at all levels of the Northern Wei Dynasty have had no salaries and have to rely on corruption, plunder and arbitrary rewards from the emperor to obtain wealth. At the beginning of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the regime established as a nomadic people took this approach
The way is not surprising.
However, as the Northern Wei regime gradually established its dominance in the Central Plains, this plunder-based wealth distribution method increasingly brought serious problems to the politics of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
As the number of wars decreased and opportunities for wartime plunder were limited, officials at all levels unscrupulously exploited and plundered the people's wealth in order to satisfy their selfish desires, which led to the intensification of social conflicts and the crisis of political rule in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Wencheng, Tuoba Jun, he issued several edicts prohibiting corruption. During the reign of Emperor Xianwen, Tuoba Hong, strict regulations were also made, and some people put forward suggestions for giving official salaries, but unfortunately they were not implemented.
After arriving at Empress Dowager Feng, in June of the eighth year of Taihe (484), under the auspices of Empress Dowager Feng, the Northern Wei Dynasty issued the "Ban Salary" edict following the old system of the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties.
It is stipulated that in addition to the original household adjustment, each household will be added three horses, two husks and nine measures of grain as the source of the salary for all officials. All officials, both internal and external, will determine their salary levels based on their rank. After the salary is determined
, whoever steals more than one horse will be put to death.
This is a good thing. Although there are additional shares in addition to the original household transfer, these are dead. You don't have to worry about being robbed of the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate from time to time.
However, some people are unable to turn around, are short-sighted, and feel dissatisfied when they see that they are paying more than before.
Moreover, this reform also blocked some people's way of making money, and aroused the opposition of the Xianbei nobles represented by King Tuoba of Huainan. He petitioned to stop the ban salary and still cut off the salary.
However, Empress Dowager Feng enforced it with an iron fist. In September of the eighth year of Taihe, Emperor Xiaowen's uncle Li Hongzhi, who was the governor of Qinyi Province at the time, was ordered to commit suicide at home due to excessive corruption and violence. Local officials took advantage of the stolen goods and executed more than 40 people. After this order
, the Northern Wei Dynasty saw great improvements in the administration of officials, and those who took bribes were also greatly restrained.
Let’s talk about the equalization of land.
In October of the ninth year of Taihe (489), Empress Dowager Feng promulgated the "Field Equalization Order" at the suggestion of Minister Li Anshi. The "Field Equalization Order" refers to the state's allocation of unowned and abandoned land in the name of land at a fixed time and according to the population.
