But the real history is not as beautiful and romantic as the TV series. In March of the second year of Zhengping (452), eunuch Zong Ai murdered Emperor Wu and made Tuoba Yu, the king of Nan 'an, emperor, but Tuoba Yu was killed by Zong Ai only half a year later. Later, his ministers made Tuoba GUI emperor. This is Wen Chengdi in history. Wen Chengdi was indeed a wise monarch. After he ascended the throne, he killed eunuch Zong Ai, restored Buddhism, built Yungang Grottoes, and conducted peaceful exchanges with Southern Dynasties and Northern Countries.
Because when Emperor Tuoba Tao was in power, the national strength was empty and the imperial court was constantly in conflict, whether it was an official or for the people, life was very miserable. After Tuoba GUI took office, he stopped expanding to the outside world, reduced high-pressure means to implement Huairou control and appease the people.
However, politics is harsh after all. During the reign of Tuoba GUI, the opposition between Xianbei people and Han people intensified, while the rebellion in the imperial court continued. First, in November of the first year of Xing 'an (452), Wang Jingwen, the butcher of Longxi, defected to the court. In February of the following year, Sikong rebelled with Du Yuanbao, the king of Jingzhao, and then Tuoba Chong, the king of Jianning, and Tuoba Li, the king of Jinan, were appointed as traitors by Du Yuanbao to participate in the riots. Then came the rebellious generals Zheng of Puyang and Tuoba Ren of Yongchang. Although these rebellions were rehabilitated, the national strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty was greatly consumed and gradually declined.
Peace for six years (465), Wen Chengdi died at the age of 26. Emperor Wencheng of posthumous title, whose temple number is Emperor Gaozong, was buried in Jinling.
There are two queens in history, one is Yuan and the other is Feng, the queen of civilization. Li is a fictional princess of Beiliang in TV series. In the previous history, she was the daughter of Li, the satrap of the Southern Song Dynasty. Wang Yongchang Toren was killed when he joined the army in the southern expedition. After that, Li was sent to the palace to be a maid of honor. Her beauty brought good luck to Wen Chengdi and gave birth to the later little emperors Tuohong and Toba.
Let's talk about another queen of Tuobajun, Feng, who was born in the Feng family of Changle, the royal family of Beiyan. After Beiyan was destroyed, she was accepted as a handmaiden by Tuoba Tao, and was later elected as a nobleman in Wen Chengdi. In the second year of Tai 'an (456), she was made queen. And this Queen Feng, a notorious poisonous woman in history, was succeeded by the nine-year-old Wendi Tabajun. Emperor Xianwen was a famous monarch, who carried out many reforms during his reign. It can be said that he lived in the Northern Wei Dynasty for a long time. After killing Toy Boy in Feng Taihou, he was forced by Feng Taihou to give way to the 6-year-old Prince Tuoba Hong (Emperor Xiaowen). He became the father of the emperor at the age of 19, and was poisoned by Feng Taihou at the age of 23. Later, in order to ease the national opposition, Emperor Xiaowen TaBaHong made a reform and sinicization, which made the Northern Wei Dynasty prosperous again.
