The historical style of Empress Dowager Cixi, a civilized Northern Wei Dynasty, has been in power for more than 20 years.

Feng, Empress Dowager Cixi of the Northern Wei Dynasty, listened to politics and prospered the country.

"Civilization Queen" is the honorific title of the descendants of Feng, Queen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Feng, widowed at the age of 24, is as brave and knowledgeable as Chu, the empress of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. She has been in politics for more than twenty years and made great contributions to the development and stability of the Northern Wei regime.

A junior is still a queen, Empress Dowager Cixi.

Tuoba GUI's Empress Shi Feng and Wen Chengdi of the Northern Wei Dynasty are really commendable. Feng is the daughter of a condemned man. When he was young, he had to fly away with his aunt and become the daughter of the harem of the Northern Wei Dynasty. She was diligent and studious, and gradually mastered accounting, literacy and court etiquette, which became her capital to attract the attention of Prince Tuoba.

After Tuoba ascended the throne, Feng, who was only fifteen years old, acceded to the throne. After Tuotuo's death, she listened to politics with extraordinary ability for more than 20 years. More importantly, she did not listen to politics like a "gatekeeper", but boldly reformed the political system of the Northern Wei Dynasty and became one of the female politicians that later generations had to admit.

In fact, Feng was related to the Northern Wei court since he was a child. Although her ancestral home is now Jixian County, Hebei Province, she was born in Chang 'an. However, her grandfather Feng was the younger brother of the northern monarch Feng Ba. After Feng Ba died, he succeeded to the throne. Her father, Lang Feng, was a Guangping general in the Northern Wei Dynasty, because her biological mother was deposed and became a "redundant person". So, Lang Feng and his younger brother went to the eldest brother Feng Chong, and the three of them went to the Northern Wei Dynasty together. Later, her daughter Feng was killed after committing a capital crime in the Northern Wei Dynasty. She had to find an aunt who performed singing and dancing in the palace. With the help of her aunt, she entered the harem and became a palace maid. Although humble, you don't have to worry about your livelihood. This is already a big event for Feng.

Feng's aunt Feng has a certain position in the imperial court, likes Feng very much and often teaches Feng. 1 1 Feng became very sensible under the guidance of his aunt. In addition, his beauty and gentleness quickly attracted the attention of Tuotuo Prince.

The relationship with Tuoba GUI can only be regarded as a little acquaintance, because Tuoba GUI is three years older than Feng Xiao. The so-called love is just the ignorant emotion of teenagers. However, after the prince ascended the throne, this was not the case. At that time, Feng and Tuoba GUI often played together, and adults thought it was two guesses. Although there are many harem women, Tuoba _ is willing to be with Feng, and sometimes he can't see them. Tuoba _ is still playing with the prince's temper

In 452 AD, Liang Wudi was killed by Emperor Sejong. Tuoba _ (12 years old) succeeded to the throne and became emperor. Feng was a noble man, but at that time, the throne of an empty queen was lacking. Four years later, Feng finally surpassed many concubines and was named the queen of civilization by Tuoba. She was only fifteen years old at this time.

Tuoba _ ruled for thirteen years, and the power of North Korea was basically in the hands of ministers. At this time, the Northern Wei Dynasty unified North China and became more and more powerful. However, Emperor Wutai put down the four-way unification war and exhausted the national strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In addition, Zong Ai, the waitress, even killed two emperors, and the officials and people were very excited. Therefore, after Tuoba _ came to power, the first thing to be solved is to reduce punishment, simplify administration and stabilize people's hearts.

The first measure taken by Tuoba GUI was to listen to the opinions of ministers, abolish Tuoba GUI's policy of suppressing Buddhism, and develop Buddhism in an orderly manner on the basis of unified management of Buddhist affairs by the state, with the aim of strengthening the state's control over Buddhism. At the same time, Tuoba Tuo strengthened the construction of legal system, which made the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty take on a new look.

In addition, at the suggestion of the minister, Tuoba Tuo attached importance to the construction of bureaucratic system and strengthened the supervision system. Although the problem of corruption has not been fundamentally solved, officials must be restrained.

Once, he and his ministers practiced martial arts at the foot of the mountain south of Lingqiu. On a whim, let the princes climb a mountain more than 400 feet. The arrows shot by the princes all reached the mountainside, and no one could reach the top of the mountain. Tuoba _ looked at him and smiled. He was holding a 1,000-kilo bow, and a sharp arrow shot from the string and landed on the top of the mountain more than 30 meters. All the ministers cheered when they saw this scene. Tuotuo is very proud. He built a monument to commemorate archery.

Although this story needs careful textual research, it can be seen from one side that Tuoba Hu inherited the martial arts fashion of Xianbei people when they were young and attached great importance to exercise.

However, just as the spring breeze was booming, Tuoba Tuo suddenly fell ill and died soon. Feng, 28, immediately became a widow.

According to Wei's old system, the emperor died. Three days later, he must burn all the clothes of the emperor before he dies. At this ceremony, palace officials and concubines will cry.

Feng is a young widow. He cried and jumped into the fire. He hurried around for treatment. It took Feng a long time to arrive. In any case, regardless of whether Feng's intention is to make the true feelings into a fake play, this cross-era move has shown unparalleled courage and extraordinary wisdom.

A few days later, the regime was handed over to her 12-year-old son Tuoba Hong, who was the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Feng is regarded as the empress dowager.

When Feng Gang was Empress Dowager Cixi, she didn't want to do anything like listening to politics, but later the situation in the imperial court pushed the young Empress Dowager Cixi to the front desk.

Because Emperor Xian Wen was too young, a general who served in China rode a bicycle, thinking that the emperor could bully him and wanted to establish a dictatorship. He even killed innocent people in the name of Emperor Wen, even ministers were not spared.

Faced with this situation, ministers were anxious all day and complained to Emperor Xian Wen. The young emperor had no choice but to ask Feng Taihou for advice.

In fact, there are only two ways to deal with such a bossy person as Mu Yi. First of all, fight, take tough measures, tit for tat, and get it over with; The second is to adopt a policy of appeasement, so that high-level officials can find their conscience, stop killing people and take power with peace of mind.

The queen mother of civilization also adopted the latter method at the beginning. She didn't dare to offend Puen publicly, so she made him the prime minister, which was almost the highest courtesy of courtiers.

Irrational conformists did not feel "the emperor's favor", but felt that the court might be bullied, so they stepped up their actions and even discussed with their confidants to overthrow the court and become emperor on their own.

At first, Emperor Xianwen kept suing Feng, but Feng didn't pay special attention. Later, ministers constantly reflected this confusing bad behavior to Feng, and Feng began to think deeply. In addition, the news that B wants to stand on his own feet as emperor reached Feng 'er. Empress Dowager Cixi of the Northern Wei Dynasty knew that even as a woman, she had to stand up. She must give up appeasement policy and fantasy and solve the problem by killing people.

After repeated weighing and planning, Feng ordered his confidants Yuan Pi, Yuan He, Niu Yide and others to lead the army to kill the chaos and completely solve the problem. Although the act of killing a Hun was creepy, it was still near misses. Finally, a powerful Hun was killed in his own palace. The northern Wei court can basically catch its breath.

Many ministers saw Feng's strength and ability to get rid of Yi Yin from this action. So a minister immediately advised him not to do nothing in the harem when he was young, but to listen to politics. After careful consideration, Feng agreed to the ministers' demands and announced that he would listen to the government's opinions in the future.

Although Feng has this ability, courage and some luck, Feng himself is not interested in the power of North Korea, nor is he willing to deal with the trivial affairs of North Korea every day. She called Zhong Shu Gao Lingyun, Zhong Shu Assistant Minister Gao Lv and Jia Xiuzhao to the palace to help her deal with government affairs. These three people work as secretaries every day, first expressing their opinions on government affairs, and then reporting important affairs to the Queen Mother.

A year later, thirteen-year-old Xianwen Emperor gave birth to a son, the noble Li, who became his father. What the Northern Wei Dynasty did was cruel. Once a concubine gave birth to a prince, and the prince was established as a prince, she would be immediately executed to prevent the tyranny of her consorts.

Li Guiren, a native of Nanliang, was beautiful and moving, and was captured in the battle of Beiliang. Wendi Deng fell in love with her as soon as she saw her. After good luck, he was made a nobleman. Wen was a little reluctant to kill Li Guiren, but the queen mother insisted on killing him and claimed that she had an emperor and grandson. Li Guiren was forced to become a victim of the imperial law in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It turned out that Wei Taizu said that Tuoba _ killed Tuoba Si's biological mother before making his son Tuoba Si a prince, and then summoned Tuoba Si to preach in the front seat, saying, "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a son and killed his mother, but women were not allowed to participate in politics, which caused domestic chaos. As a successor, it is a long-term solution for me to stay away from Hanwu. "

Tuoba Siming was the later emperor Yuan Taizong. He was so simple and filial that he cried and trembled that Emperor Wu sent someone to take him out of the temple. Soon, Liang Wudi was killed by his other son, TaBaShao, king of Qinghe. After Tuoba Si succeeded to the throne, although he sympathized with his biological mother, as the "ancestral law" of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the method of killing Mei was not abolished, but passed down from generation to generation. Except Sue's mother, all her birth mothers were executed without exception. Of course, whether it was suicide or imperial secretary who helped you is still unknown.

In fact, Shi Feng, the queen mother of civilization, still abides by the ancestral system. After Li Guiren's death, she immediately brought Emperor Sun Hong to raise him, and after communicating with Emperor Xianwen, she announced her return to the politics of Emperor Xianwen. In order to save Wendi, Empress Kaihua asked her younger brother Feng Xidi to be a teacher and supervise Wendi's power.

In this short year of listening to politics, the behavior of this civilized queen mother is remarkable. If this situation continues, the reputation of the civilized queen mother will be higher, but the civilized queen mother who listens to politics is different from the past. Although she raised her grandson, the temptation of power always bothered her.

Tiger poison is also courageous and resourceful, and its strength comes first.

After being ruled by Emperor Wen, he still couldn't make up his mind on many things. He must consult the civilized queen mother about important things. Only with the permission of the queen mother can he issue imperial edicts. Some people say that Wendi is young and respects the old and loves the young; Some people say that the queen mother of civilization has a strong desire for power.

Judging from today's situation, we can totally understand. People in politics are still too young in their thirties and forties, let alone teenagers.

Of course, as can be seen from the historical allusions of Kangxi's eight years old, except Ao Bai, there have been cases of heroic teenagers since ancient times.

Gradually, the power struggle brought subtle changes to the relationship between Feng Taihou and his son, and there was a gap between mother and son.

In addition, Feng Taihou is less than 30 years old, young and widowed. His life is a bit chaotic, and he has an affair with courtier Yi Li. Wendi Deng is young and handsome. Hearing the gossip outside, he was very angry and thought that Li Yi was "unbearable" to his dead father.

Just then, it was reported that Li Yi's younger brother Li Fu took bribes when he was appointed as the secretariat of Xiangzhou. Emperor Wen took this opportunity to order people to "occupy seats" according to law and killed two brothers, Li Yi and Li Fu.

Feng Taihou hates murdering her lover. But on the surface, she didn't show her wishes, but watched the courtier's actions and her son's next move. Due to the bereavement of mother and son and poor politics, the little emperor had no interest in the powerful after less than a year in office and wanted his uncle Wang to abdicate and beg for mercy. This incident aroused strong opposition from ministers, who all believed that only the crown prince could inherit the throne.

After a period of thinking, Emperor Tuoba Hong offered compassion meditation to his six-year-old son Tuoba Hong. Who knows, this little TaBaHong burst into tears crazily at the meditation ceremony, and Emperor Xianwen curiously asked him why he was sad. Tuoba Hong replied: "The feelings of a generation are rooted in the heart!" The words are touching. He is the famous Emperor Xiaowen in the future.

After Emperor Xianwen gave Zen compassion to the prince, the actual power of North Korea was still in his hands. At this time, he is diligent in political affairs and strict in rewards and punishments.

After several years of observation, Feng Taihou felt that TaBaHong was getting smarter and smarter, and he didn't listen to his mother when dealing with political affairs. As a result, the mother-child relationship has become increasingly alienated. In mutual suspicion, Feng Taihou began to kill his heart. One night in the summer of 476 AD, Feng Taihou sent someone to poison and kill his son.

The civilized queen mother and the powerful queen mother.

Feng Taihou rose to another level and once again presided over the important affairs of the country as the empress dowager.

Emperor Tuoba Hong was only 12 years old, but he was very filial. He can accept the way Yan Shunzhi treats his grandmother, dedicate himself to the Fu family and obey her decision.

Although Feng Taihou is a woman, she is considerate, smart and good at handling government affairs. Emperor Wen, out of filial piety, did not dare to go against his grandmother's wishes and told Feng Taihou all the major events. Therefore, all state affairs are decided by her alone.

Because Emperor Xiaowen was young, Feng Taihou wrote more than 300 exhortation songs, 18 letters, to teach Emperor Xiaowen to cultivate self-cultivation and be a good emperor. She also advocated Confucianism and established the Wang Wenxuan Temple in Chang 'an.

Feng Taihou is a simple man. He doesn't like luxurious decorations. He eats simple things and wears simple clothes. However, Feng Taihou believed in and respected the Buddha, so he spent a lot of money. There are treasures embedded in the Buddha statues of Buddhist temples. Their shapes are spectacular and can still be seen today.

Feng Taihou is very strict in management. Even if people around her make small mistakes, she will be punished and flogged. However, she has one advantage, that is, after forgetting some things, she is also a good person, because she started and gave people wealth. So everyone around you is diehard.

Although Feng is the Queen Mother, she is in her prime. Besides dealing with government affairs, she also has a rich private life. Feng Taihou likes Wang Rui and Li Chong best.

Wang Rui, also known as Luo Cheng, his father is a charlatan who lives by astronomical divination. Wang Ruizi inherited his father's business and supported himself by divination. Wang Rui is tall and outstanding in appearance. Once, because Feng Taihou received something, his outstanding appearance made the Queen Mother fall in love at first sight. After being called to bed by the queen mother, she was immediately promoted to give things. Soon, he was promoted to three flags room, service center and official department minister. Later, he was appointed as an official in Taiyuan. This is really a "secret foreign affairs", which is favored every day.

In the second year of Taihe, Feng Taihou and Emperor Xiaowen led officials and courtiers to admire tigers in the tiger enclosure. A big tiger suddenly rushed out of Tingzi Road and rushed to the throne. Soldiers and imperial guards were scared and scattered. Wang Rui was the only one who stood in front of Feng Taihou and the little emperor without fear and waved a halberd to stop the tiger. He looked brave and scared the tiger away.

Since then, Wang Rui has increased Feng Taihou's trust. The following year, he was promoted to secretary and was also appointed as Sun Yat-sen. Since Wang Rui and Feng Taihou were inseparable, Feng Taihou privately gave him many rare treasures. After playing for two nights, the eunuchs gave the treasures of the palace to Wang Ruifu in a caravan. In addition, he also received livestock, cattle, horses, handmaiden and various animals. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, while rewarding Wang Rui, he also rewarded ministers with the same official position and spent tens of thousands of property.

May be overworked, Wang Rui was seriously ill at the age of 48. Feng Taihou and Emperor Xiaowen personally went to his palace and sent attendants and doctors to serve and treat him, but Wang Rui finally died.

Shu Wei's "Enxing Biography" includes

After Wang Rui's death, Feng Taihou and Emperor Xiaowen personally mourned. Later, when Wang Rui's daughter got married, the Queen Mother allowed her to use the etiquette and ceremony of marrying the princess. When people saw the grand occasion of the wedding, they thought that the royal family had married a real princess.

Li Chong, whose real name is Si Shun, is from Longxi. His father's name is Dunhuang Gong. Li Chong grew up sedate and elegant, with a good reputation. During his tenure, Shangshu started the "three-long system" on the orders of the minister, which effectively prevented the people from taking risks. The civilized queen mother read his stamps and was very grateful. After seeing him, he became more caring. From then on, he became the guest of the Queen Mother.

Soon, he was promoted to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Hou and later renamed Longxi Gong. Since then, Feng Taihou has given him many royal treasures in private. Fortunately, David's national strength was strong at that time, and the four directions paid tribute every year. Feng Taihou's private donations have little impact on the national treasury. Besides, Li Chong is a young man with extraordinary skills and extensive knowledge. When she was deeply loved, she was able to remain humble and spread her wealth widely, distributing all the gifts given by the Queen Mother to the talented poor. Therefore, his reputation was not damaged by his affair with Feng Taihou, but was praised more.

Li Chong also has the same advantage, that is, he does not shy away from past mistakes, and takes good care of the sons and orphans of distant enemies. The relationship with Emperor Xiaowen and his officials is also very close. In Wei, according to the old system, the emperor directly addressed the nobles, but Emperor Xiaowen never called Li Chong by his first name, but called him "Li Zhongshu". It can be seen that he respects Li Chong. Now it seems that this is a trivial matter, but it is a major event of the feudal dynasty.

After Feng Taihou's death, Li Chong was responsible for negotiating etiquette and laws, and polishing the elegy of imperial edict. He tried his best and didn't encounter any problems. Even the senior officials in the clan at that time were very respectful.

After Emperor Wendi really came to power, he organized many expeditions to the south and moved the capital to Luoyang. Li Chong made suggestions to the court and did his best. He also designed Tang Ming, Taimiao, Yuan Qiu and Luoyang, the new capital of Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. According to historical records, Li Chong was "industrious and strong, industrious but not lazy, thin in theory and literature, engaged in the craftsman system, accumulated profits repeatedly and took great pains." He was only 49 when he died of illness. Wendi Deng personally mourned for him and wept bitterly.

As the "Toy Boy" of Feng Taihou, Wang Rui and Li Chong have always been loyal to the royal family, and they can also govern the country. Compared with Lv Hou's careful diet, Zhang Yizhi's brothers and monks around Wuhou are a hundred times stronger. It can be seen that Feng Taihou is really amazing! In the history books, Feng Taihou

Feng Taihou has always been very kind to her grandson Emperor Xiaowen. Since Emperor Xiaowen was born, she has raised him by herself. However, when she saw that the young Emperor Xiaowen was getting smarter, she wanted to hurt him because she was afraid that her grandson Xiaowen would hurt her family after his death. However, under the persuasion of Li Chong and others, she didn't hurt him. She is still very kind to his grandson Xiaowen, and has cultivated him into a monarch.

Of course, Feng Taihou is morally inferior to a woman, so she is afraid that others will talk about herself behind her back. As long as she suspects courtiers or people around her, she will kill them immediately. It was not until Feng Taihou's death that Emperor Xiaowen knew who his birth mother was, showing how dignified and cruel Feng Taihou was!

In the 14th year of Ming Dynasty, Feng Taihou died at the age of 49. Wendy stayed by her side for five days and nights without touching water, which was extremely painful. After her death, she was named "Wenmingji" and was known as the civilized Feng Taihou in history.

Feng, the elder brother of the civilized queen mother, has two daughters. The civilized mother first married Feng's little daughter to Emperor Xiaowen.

Taihe became queen in seventeen years. Later, the queen's half-sister also entered the palace, was hunted down, and began to compete with her sister, Queen Feng. Queen Feng is not a jealous person, but she often regrets not letting her sister into the palace. Feng tried every means to speak ill of the queen.

Feng entered the palace a little later than her half-sister, because her mother came from a humble background. History records: "After charm, prejudice and preference." Emperor xiaowen has sent many missions to the south. On the expedition, Empress Feng was unwilling to be lonely and committed adultery with a senior official, Bodhisattva. Knowing that Emperor Xiaowen was seriously ill in Runan, Queen Feng openly committed adultery with Gao Bodhisattva. It was reported later.

Emperor Xiaowen was shocked and couldn't believe it when he heard about it. After Emperor Xiaowen returned to Luoyang, he detained the client for interrogation. During the interrogation of Queen Feng, Emperor Xiaowen left only one bodyguard to accompany him and stuffed his ears with cotton. Therefore, what the wind said has become an eternal mystery. Emperor Xiaowen asked King Pengcheng and King Beihai to sit down and said, "She used to be your eldest sister-in-law, but now she is a foreigner. Don't be shy! "

Emperor Wen was so filial that he couldn't bear to abolish Queen Feng immediately, because he was grateful to his grandmother, the civilized queen mother, and gave it to her when Feng was dying. Be demoted to a reclusive queen.

Reform politics and punish corrupt officials.

Empress Kaihua's outstanding contribution to the Northern Wei regime is mainly manifested in her ability to reform politics and punish corrupt officials.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was the regime of Xianbei people. After Xianbei people entered the Central Plains, they also had many backward customs and systems, which could not adapt to the rule of the Central Plains.

As a Han woman, the civilized queen mother is not used to many bad habits in the palace. When she has no strength, she knows how to bear it. Once she had power in her hands, she immediately had the idea of reform.

After the poisoned Emperor Xianwen returned to power, the Empress Dowager Kaihua immediately realized her political ambition. In February of the first year of Ming Dynasty, an official served as a deacon in the ancestral hall, responsible for offering sacrifices to Emperor Wen. Generally speaking, these requirements are reasonable.

But the civilized queen mother doesn't think so. She said, "Everything you learn in the future should follow the' classic argument'. You can't follow any precedent. "

Ministers dare to speak out in anger, but no one does. The civilized queen mother saw the power of power. She knows that any reform cannot be separated from an iron fist. She has been galloping in court for many years, and now the time is ripe for reform according to her own wishes.

At that time, it was almost an open secret that officials at all levels in the Northern Wei Dynasty withheld national tax. In addition, they not only intercept, but also use their power to extort people's taxes. Because officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty did not pay salaries, their financial resources could only be obtained by extortion or "technology". This is a serious flaw in the system, and the civilized queen mother knows it well.

Therefore, Shi Feng, the empress dowager of civilization, advocated paying official salaries to solve life. At the same time, strictly put an end to extortion and tax withholding!

Of course, the implementation process is painful, because some people are used to getting money by extortion, and some people seem to be "used to" being blackmailed. The civilized queen has repeatedly instructed to strengthen publicity, which is widely known. In 484 AD, when the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the Luban system, in order to ensure the seriousness and authority of the law, more than 40 people who took bribes and perverted the law were killed.

As the emperor, TaBaHong actively supported and cooperated with his grandmother's measures to personally interrogate some corrupt criminals. It should be said that the reform of this system played a positive role in the development of the Northern Wei regime and social progress. From the perspective of social effect, it is also relatively good.

The civilized empress dowager also presided over the settlement of farmers' land problems, which was unprecedented at that time.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the annexation of land by strongmen was very serious, which led to the displacement of a large number of farmers and the loss of land, endangering social stability.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, only the imperial court occupied half of the country, and there was little cultivated land. This merger is very dangerous. The state has expropriated people, but it cannot take them away. On the other hand, many people have nothing to do in society. At the same time, some strongmen either

After stabilizing the political power, the civilized empress dowager devoted herself to solving this problem. She advocated the equal land system and established the "three-length system" to ensure the implementation of this system. During this period, it was mainly Li Chong who cooperated with Empress Dowager Cixi to implement this plan. He put forward a concrete plan to change the system of "parental supervision and protection" and establish a "three-parent system".

After the establishment of the "three-parent system", the state can systematically find out the missing accounts, expand the number of households, and smoothly implement the land equalization system. The fallow method thought by Empress Hua Kai was widely used at that time. Some fields need to be planted in rotation for two to three years, so the number of fields received has doubled. When the good people who get the land can't work or die, they should return the land to the country; If you lose your handmaiden and cow, you should also return the land you got. Because according to the regulations, handmaiden can also get a certain number of mulberry fields, which must be planted within three years. If they are not planted at maturity, the state will take them back. Give special care to the disabled, the young and the elderly. It should be said that the land equalization system promoted by the Empress Dowager Kaihua has obvious positive significance in the long history.

Since Empress Kaihua took orders from the North Korean government, the discipline of royal children has been very strict. Although the Northern Wei Dynasty continued the enfeoffment system of the vassal king, under the supervision of the civilized mother, a study was set up in the enfeoffment system to promote the learning culture of the children of the imperial clan.

Most of the children of the imperial clan can accept the advanced ideas of the civilized empress dowager. Of course, there are also some irregularities that objectively test the psychological bottom line of the civilized queen mother.

Wang Ruyi Tuoba Tianci and Nan 'an Tuoba are really the brothers of Emperor Wencheng. The civilized empress dowager came to the court to listen to politics. They are in high positions, ignoring or ignoring the words of Empress Dowager Cixi, and still accepting bribes.

After weighing the pros and cons, the civilized queen arrested him and beheaded him. As soon as the news came out, many ministers and clansmen asked the Queen Mother to intercede, but they were all rejected by the Queen Mother. The civilized queen mother asked them: if I forgive them, how can the laws advocated by the state be realized? Ministers still insist that they are the brothers of Emperor Wencheng and should not suffer this kind of crime. They still insist on asking for pardon. The queen mother of civilization turned a blind eye to this.

In fact, after the civilized Empress Dowager Cixi retreated to North Korea, the ideological struggle was extremely fierce. She knows that she can't tolerate conservative forces on reform. However, when it comes to royalties, the problem is obviously complicated. Failure to listen to the opinions of ministers must have offended members of the imperial clan, increased the resistance to reform and caused political instability. The queen mother of civilization decided to compromise before watching.

Since then, the imperial court issued imperial edicts in the name of Emperor Xiaowen, indicating its position on this issue. The purport of the imperial edict is: "Although the two kings committed the most heinous crimes, the Queen Mother thought they were brothers Wencheng." In addition, King Nan 'an is also a famous dutiful son. He decided to save their lives just to cancel their titles and detain their lives. "This is the royal account.

A few days later, the civilized empress dowager suddenly got the news that Wen Zu, an old courtier of Zhongqi, accepted a bribe from her client when she was ordered by the empress dowager to visit Chang 'an, in an attempt to cover up her crimes.

The civilized queen mother is very angry. She said to the courtiers, "I always thought Wen Zu was clean, so I sent him to know the situation." I didn't expect him to do such a thing. "

The heavenly queen removed Lu from all official positions. Later, when this kind of thing happened again, the officials who did not trust the queen mother to investigate even sent several groups of people before and after to get a true and fair situation.

The queen mother's strict attitude towards the royal family really shocked the nerves of these people. They also strengthened the supervision of people around them. Of course, the average corrupt official is even worse.

Soon, corrupt officials secretariat Hou and Yongzheng secretariat.

However, the stubborn civilized queen mother is determined not to be soft. After secretly sending someone to investigate, she sent someone to "visit" in the name of court officials, and the result was the same.

Empress Wen ordered the execution of Hou, Yongzhou secretariat and Wang Yidu, and sent Chang 'an Town to arraign Chen. The warning effect of this measure on governors is obvious.

While punishing corrupt officials severely, the civilized empress dowager also changed the practice of catching corrupt officials. Through the imperial edict of Emperor Xiaowen, she changed thousands of officials before and after. It should be said that the civilized queen mother is firm and resourceful in punishing corruption. After the implementation of these measures, the cornerstone of the Northern Wei regime was solid and the political outlook changed positively.

Of course, punishing corruption is a double-edged sword. While the civilized queen mother takes severe measures to punish corrupt officials, it is inevitable that she will be too strict with inferior people. Many people who serve her around her are often afraid to go out, cautious, seeking no merit but no fault. The queen mother is a person who demands perfection. She doesn't want people around her to live in fear every day. After learning that she was afraid of inferiority, she paid great attention to her attitude towards inferiority and always enjoyed it. These people are very grateful to the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager Kaihua is a Han woman. When she was young, she wandered around and witnessed the miserable life of the people. In the process of listening to politics, she is very concerned about people's lives. In 487 AD, there was no rain in most parts of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and drought caused a plague. Many people died of hunger or disease, and more people were forced to be displaced.

From the perspective of national stability, all kinds of mysteries are often hidden in huge disasters and epidemics, and social unrest is on the verge. Empress Kaihua presided over the disaster relief work and formulated measures to help the victims, so that the fleeing victims could return to their hometowns to participate in earthquake relief. At the same time, Empress Kaihua took out a lot of treasures from the national treasury for disaster relief. In order to improve the ruling consciousness of ministers, they are also required to donate soft materials. The attitude of the imperial court towards famine deeply touched the people and consolidated the Northern Wei regime.
