Is Tang Yan's Feng Taihou really a legendary woman like in the TV series?

Feng Taihou is a famous legendary woman in the history of China.

Since the patriarchal society became the mainstream of the times, in the slave and feudal society of later generations, most officials were men. In that patriarchal era, it is not easy to be a woman, let alone a powerful woman, and the difficulties and obstacles are self-evident.

However, in the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a man who was in charge of the ruling and opposition, trained two emperors in one fell swoop, and made his legendary life-this man was Feng Taihou. Feng Taihou is a legendary woman because of the following three factors.

First, life experience. Feng Taihou was born in Beiyan, the granddaughter of the monarch of Beiyan, so she has an extraordinary aristocratic lineage from birth. Unfortunately, she was born at the wrong time. Since its birth, Beiyan has been attacked by other countries one after another, and the unbearable Beiyan was finally destroyed. Feng Taihou's childhood life was basically spent on the run with his family, living a life of running around and living without a fixed address. I finally became an adult, settled down, and my father was killed again. Fortunately, however, Feng Taihou survived and will have a future, which may imply that her future life will be brilliant.

Second, Queen's Road. Because of his royal blood, Feng's temperament is different and his personality is lively. Soon, she became Wen Chengdi's favorite. Because of his good relationship, Feng often accompanies in handling state affairs, and he is also willing to tell Feng how to handle state affairs. After a long time, she naturally mastered the ability to deal with harem government affairs, so Wen Chengdi couldn't wait to make her queen, and this time, she happened to be in love. But even if she has the status of queen, it doesn't seem to affect her in charge of the harem. The fair and just Queen Feng will also be praised by all the concubines in the harem. It's a miracle that three thousand beauties in the harem live in harmony.

Third, the ability to govern the country. Feng Taihou seems to be born with the ability to govern the country. There is a rule in the Northern Wei Dynasty that once the next emperor is determined, his biological mother will be executed immediately in order to avoid interfering in state affairs. So when TaBaHong was made a prince, he gave it to foster mother Feng. At this time, Feng Taihou not only had to serve the emperor and take charge of the harem, but also trained the future monarch, and at that time he had three jobs. But not long after, with the death of Wen Chengdi, the burden on her shoulders increased again, and ushered in a new era of listening to politics.

During the period of listening to politics, Feng Taihou was highly effective, helping the young emperor Tuoba Hong to eradicate the threatening ministers early, successfully assisting the crown prince to take the upper position, and stabilizing North Korea. Later, long-term rule made TaBaHong unable to deal with DPRK affairs. Under the pressure of Feng Taihou, his eldest son inherited the throne and died unexpectedly soon.

Emperor xiaowen was still a child at this time. In order to avoid the turmoil in the DPRK, Feng Taihou, who retired from politics, had to listen to politics again and assist the young master. However, things are unpredictable. Before Feng Taihou really saw Emperor Xiaowen's ruling ability, he died suddenly at the age of 49.

Feng Taihou was a legend all his life. He reformed the state system and monarchy with extraordinary skills. Under her leadership, the Northern Wei Dynasty made the country rich and strong. Because of her outstanding contribution, her status as the "First Empress of the Northern Wei Dynasty" has been recorded in history and will be immortal.
