Chapter 136: Contribution to the Zen Seat
After Empress Dowager Feng killed Tuo Ba Ming and Li Xin, Emperor Xianwen's face turned pale with fright. His right and left arms were all cut off by the Empress Dowager, leaving him little chance.
Empress Dowager Feng turned back to Emperor Xianwen Tuoba Hong and said: "Although the Emperor is wise, wise and resolute, he is naturally fond of Huang Lao's way and the study of Buddha. I have heard that the Emperor often congratulates himself with the court sergeants, officials and ascetics.
talk
Xuanli, elegance and wealth, tired of state affairs, and not interested in world affairs. I have long thought that the state of the Wei Dynasty is in danger! The emperor appoints treacherous ministers again, but the talented ministers in the court are dismissed by the emperor, which is a shame for the loyalty and uprightness of the Wei Dynasty.
The heart of a minister."
She turned to Zhongshu Ling Gao Yun, Taiwei Yuanhe, Situ Liuni, Sikong and his slaves and said: "Your four beloved ministers are the pillars of the country, loyal and wise. Now you can see that the emperor is still able to govern the country.
?”
Gao Yun and others immediately knew that Empress Dowager Feng had the intention of abolishing the throne. They were well aware of the danger and cruelty of the power struggle in the palace. In today's situation, Empress Dowager Feng has completely gained the upper hand. If Empress Dowager Feng shows her kindness to women again, let her go.
Emperor Xianwen, if Emperor Xianwen regains his breath, Empress Dowager Feng will be in great danger in the future, and the many veterans who support Empress Dowager Feng may not be able to save the lives of their entire family.
Gao Yun and others made up their mind not to give Emperor Xianwen a chance, but to use the hands of Empress Dowager Feng to get rid of Emperor Xianwen and establish a new emperor. So the ministers whispered for a while, and then Gao Yun came out and said: "Qi Qi
Report to the Queen Mother, the Emperor is obsessed with Buddhism and does not think about state affairs
.Our Wei Dynasty’s treasury is not yet full, and the Northern Rouran is constantly harassing the border, and the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasty are watching. If the king is unclear, the country will be in danger! The ministers have sent a memorial to the Queen Mother, asking the Queen Mother to preside over the great righteousness, and to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Wei Dynasty in front of the Ancestral Temple.
My ancestors, we have decided to establish a new and enlightened king!"
Empress Dowager Feng remained silent and slowly scanned the officials in the Golden Palace with her eyes. Hearing Gao Yun's words, all the civil and military officials understood the Empress Dowager's intention, and they all knelt down in the Golden Palace and asked the Empress Dowager to establish a new king. This shocked the Golden Palace.
Emperor Xianwen's face was ashen. He regretted planning to kill Li Yi and ended up being forced into the palace by his once extremely respected and filial mother.
He knew in his heart that the current situation was one-sided, and even if there were still a few trusted people, they were insignificant roles in the court. What's more, these people had already taken advantage of the situation and asked the Queen Mother to depose him. Emperor Xianwen was in Feng
Under the intense gaze of the Queen Mother, she quickly found a way out.
He knew in his heart that if the Queen Mother established a new emperor, his fate would be very tragic. He would either be deposed as a commoner or be imprisoned in the palace. Therefore, when the Queen Mother Feng had not yet made a formal decision on the civil and military officials, Emperor Xianwen was determined to retire.
Advance, save your life first, and then make plans later.
Emperor Xianwen knelt down and sobbed: "My son is confused and cannot bear the affairs of the state. Please punish my mother. I would like to live in Zen in Tuoba Zitui, my uncle. I voluntarily live in the harem and will no longer be involved in political affairs. I sincerely ask my mother to allow it!"
"
Emperor Xianwen's move was beyond Empress Dowager Feng's expectations. This Tuoba Zitui also played an important role when Empress Dowager Feng planned to kill Yihun. He led troops to confront Yihun's old troops and killed thieves in the palace of Empress Dowager Feng.
Made a great contribution.
Empress Dowager Feng thought that if she agreed to let Emperor Tuoba Zitui become the emperor, the emperor's grandson Tuoba Hong, whom she had long admired, would completely lose the opportunity, and she was unwilling to do so. Moreover, although Tuoba Zitui was the emperor's uncle, he would not be the emperor.
Empress Dowager Feng said that she felt like an outsider. She devoted herself to raising him.
Tuoba Hong, the son of Emperor Xianwen Tuoba Hong, had already planned to force Emperor Xianwen to give way to his son Tuoba Hong before going to court today. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xianwen turned an army against him in desperate situation, sacrificing his own son.
The desire to pass it on to his uncle put Empress Dowager Feng in a dilemma.
Empress Dowager Feng also understood that if he rejected Emperor Xianwen's suggestion, someone might stir up trouble and instigate Tuoba Zitui, the emperor's uncle who had a large number of soldiers and was in a high position, and civil strife might break out in the Wei Dynasty.
Sikong and his slaves saw what Empress Dowager Feng was thinking, and went out to shout angrily: "Empress Dowager, your Majesty's words are wrong! Since ancient times, the throne is only passed down to the son. How can it be contrary to human relations? The nephew is passing the throne on to his uncle instead."
What? Therefore, the Queen Mother must not accept the words of the Emperor. She can only choose a new monarch with both talents and virtues from among the princes!"
The words of Sikong and his slaves immediately relieved the siege of Empress Dowager Feng. Empress Dowager Feng said loudly in front of all the civil and military officials: "My dear lords, since the emperor has said that he would like to be the emperor of Zen, who has both talent and virtue, I think
,Prince Tuoba Hong
He is intelligent, well-read Confucian poems and books, is loyal and filial, and although he is young, he has the talent to govern the world. Therefore, I believe that if the emperor ascends the Zen throne, he should be succeeded by his prince Tuoba Hong. What do you think?
?”
When all the civil and military officials saw that Empress Dowager Feng had designated the heir to the throne, they all shouted long live. They prostrated themselves in the Golden Palace and supported Empress Dowager Feng's decision. Seeing that the situation was over, Emperor Xianwen had no choice but to sigh and agreed to give the throne to his son Tuoba Hong.
Empress Dowager Feng has suffered several losses, and now she deeply understands the importance of power. She will never give up power again, even to her personally designated successor, Tuoba Hong.
Empress Dowager Feng announced that because Tuoba Hong was young and lacked experience in governing the country, Empress Dowager Feng once again came to the court to proclaim the throne. She chose a day to pay homage to heaven and earth and the ancestors of the Wei Dynasty in the Ancestral Temple, and dedicated Emperor Wen Tuoba Hong as his
The Supreme Emperor, himself the Empress Dowager, established Emperor Xianwen's eldest son Tuobahong as emperor, known as Emperor Xiaowen in history. In this year, Emperor Xianwen Tuobahong was exactly eighteen years old and became the youngest Supreme Emperor in Chinese history.
When Emperor Xiaowen came to the throne, the Supreme Emperor, who had moved to Chongguang Palace, did not completely give up his power. Not only did important state affairs in the court have to be reported to him, he also repeatedly issued edicts to exercise power, and even personally led troops to conquer the north and the south.
.Winter of 475 AD (the fifth year of Yanxing)
In October, Emperor Xianwen, who had become the Supreme Emperor, held a grand review ceremony in the northern suburbs of Pingcheng to send envoys to pay tribute to the emperor. All this made Empress Dowager Feng increasingly feel that if she wanted to take charge of the government again, the Supreme Emperor would already be in the way.
Hands and feet. In this way, another palace incident was quietly triggered.
Emperor Xiaowen Tuobahong was indeed a smart, wise and talented person. It is unbelievable to say that when Emperor Xiaowen was only 4 years old, he was able to suck pus and blood for his father, Emperor Xianwen, who suffered from carbuncles.
, to relieve his father’s pain.
When he was 5 years old, he accepted the throne of his father. He was extremely sad at such a young age. Emperor Xianwen didn't know why, but he said: "I succeeded my dearest relative, and my heart's sorrow cannot be expressed. I don't want to see my father leave!"
"
Emperor Xiaowen's words reached the ears of Empress Dowager Feng. Empress Dowager Feng felt that Emperor Xiaowen was too smart and was worried that he would be disadvantageous to her in the future, so she wanted to destroy him. Empress Dowager Feng even once took Xiaowen, who was only wearing a single coat, in the cold winter when the north wind was howling.
