Why did Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who worked hard all his life, finally die so cowardly? Tuoba Hong, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was the most famous emperor in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During his reign, he reorganized the bureaucracy, concentrated on localization, moved the capital to Luoyang, and fought in the north, which had a far-reaching impact on the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty and China. In this poem, Tuoba Hong wrote: "Every Sunday and day, there is no one in the left corner of the river", which shows that he is ambitious and does not forget the great cause of reunification between the North and the South. But he died first, and TaBaHong died at the age of 33. As for his early life, people think that he died alive after learning about the queen's affair (although this is one of the reasons), but TaBaHong died of illness.

Why did TaBaHong die young? There are four main reasons.

First, Tuoba royal family has a tradition of early marriage and early childbearing. The ancestors of Tuoba Hong, such as Prince Tuoba Hong 13, Tuoba Zhuo 15 and Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong 14, were born in Tuoba. They all had children in their teens. Because of the low quality of sperm, Tuoba Hong, like their ancestors, is also a person who marries early and gives birth early. He is 65438+. Teenage is the early stage of physical development. At this time, excessive sexual intercourse can easily lead to loss of qi and blood and physical weakness.

Secondly, his early experiences had a great influence on his body and mind. He lost his mother at the age of 3 and his father at the age of 10. In winter, he was punished by "naked, hunger strike for three dynasties", threatened by "eating insects" and punished with crutches for "dozens of times". The painful death of his biological parents and the jitters at the beginning of his accession to the throne have dealt a heavy blow and hurt to Tuoba Hong's young mind in this series of tragedies, which is not conducive to his healthy growth.

Third, Feng infected TaBaHong with lung disease. When he was young, Feng Taihou's two nieces entered the palace. One of them is Feng, the cuckolded TaBaHong Feng Queen (played by Miao Lian). Soon, Feng was "sent away" because of illness. Mr. Feng Shui is not a common disease, but a terrible "vegetarian rash". In ancient Chinese, "vegetarian rash" means "persistent illness", that is, fever, which refers to lung disease. This disease is highly contagious, and it is extremely difficult and inevitable to recover. After his death, TaBaHong greeted Feng back to the palace on the pretext of "recovering from a rash". Tuoba Hong is in poor health, but he really loves Feng Miaolian. Even though he knew that his illness had not been cured, he returned to the palace and had close contact with Feng, eventually suffering from lung disease. More importantly, when Emperor Xiaowen was in military service, Feng Miaolian had an affair with two false eunuch harems. Princess Pengcheng, the younger sister of Emperor Xiaowen, told her daughter-in-law that Emperor Xiaowen was so angry that he vomited blood.

Fourth, mental fatigue aggravated TaBaHong's condition. After TaBaHong came to power alone, he made great efforts in government affairs and set off a wave of reform. Especially on the issue of moving the capital, Tuoba ruled out public opinion, applied both hard and soft skills, and even personally created and interpreted the drama "Southern Expedition", which can be described as painstaking and painstaking. After moving the capital, TaBaHong didn't rest, but personally expedition, launched the battle of cutting qi, hoping to be successful. As a result, he went out many times in vain. Anxious for success, anxious for success, made TaBaHong "seriously ill" when he made another personal expedition in the 22nd year of Taihe (498 years old). Fortunately, Jian Xu's treatment has improved.

When TaBaHong was ill and upset, his courtiers made a small mistake and immediately reprimanded him. He must be punished, even if he is soft on his wife and children. Feng Yuan, the first queen, refused to speak Chinese after she moved to Luoyang. At first, it was hot in Hanfu, but he didn't wear Hanfu either. After being scolded, he rebelled, and TaBaHong, who was given the death penalty, abdicated. Congenital deficiency, acquired troubles, intimacy in everything, impatience for success, irritability, neglect of health care at ordinary times, and lighting up TaBaHong's illness. When he tried the second queen himself, he couldn't do it anymore.

Hong died because he knew his heart was failing and his spirit was weak, and he continued to forget his roots, hoping to unify the whole country and become the real emperor of China in his lifetime. As a seriously ill person, in March of the 23rd year of Taihe (499), TaBaHong tried his best to deal with the queen's aftermath. In order to realize his political ambition, TaBaHong once again strongly supported the seriously ill relatives to cut Qi. On the way, Maan Lawton said, "I am very ill and have no pity."
