Why did Ho Choi, the first counselor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, finally kill nine families?

Ho Choi was a top think tank in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and also an undisputed special-grade teacher in the Northern Wei Dynasty. If you have to list the smart heads in China's history, Ho Choi is smart enough to be in the top ten. Ho Choi is also very conceited and often compares himself with Sean. This is also the case. The Tuoba family in the Northern Wei Dynasty was able to unify the North in a short time, largely thanks to Ho Choi's strategizing. Ho Choi was born into a noble family in the north. He is naturally intelligent, well-read and versatile. At the age of 20, he was recruited as Naolang. Tuoba GUI, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, saw that Ho Choi was clever and especially good at calligraphy, so he put it beside him.

In his later years, TaBaGui suddenly fell in love with health, three meals a day? Cold stone powder? As a staple food. That's a magical medicine, and the effect is really not exaggerated. After taking it every time, Tuoba GUI shook his head and danced endlessly with the help of God. It is understandable for the emperor to jump a few times. The terrible thing is that every time he jumps out of his mind, TaBaGui is moody and suspicious, treating everyone around him as a dying monster. Holding a long sword, he stabbed as he spoke. As a result, people in the ruling and opposition parties were in panic, and everyone was in danger, and he did not care. Some important and old officials avoided it. At this point, Ho Choi has just stepped into the officialdom, and he is already twenty years old. He has been employed for less than three years, and all he recruits is an egg. As the saying goes:? Accompany you like a tiger? , and accompanied by a crazy tiger, when many old ministers and collectors cringed and stood by, Ho Choi was loyal to his duties, ventured to stay with TaBaGui all day, and fought with him, always getting away with it.

In the first year of Yongxing (AD 409), TaBaGui, who was obsessed with drugs, was killed by his second son TaBaShao and sent to the Western Heaven, while the throne was robbed by his eldest son TaBaXi for the sake of Ming Yuan Di. Appreciating Ho Choi's outstanding performance, Ming Bai offered wine to the doctor and gave him a knighthood. The emperor's hobbies are always different from ordinary people. His father likes drugs, while Tuoba Si likes Yin and Yang, which is exactly the director of Ho Choi. Therefore, Yuan Di of Ming Dynasty ordered Ho Choi to divine good and bad luck for many times, and to dispel doubts. Ho Choi took everything online, explained personnel by heaven, divined all kinds of disasters and auspicious changes, which was not only eloquent, but also fulfilled. On one occasion, Ming Yuan Di found some rabbits strolling in the harem. Ask the court guards, they don't know. Tuoba Si was very surprised and ordered Ho Choi to predict good or bad luck. Ho Choi stretched out his hand and pinched it and said? When there are beautiful women from neighboring countries. ? In the second year, I don't know whether it really happened or whether it was really calculated by Ho Choi, but Yao Xing, the emperor of the late Qin Dynasty in neighboring countries, really dedicated several beautiful blue-eyed girls to Ming Yuan Di. Ming Yuan Di overjoyed, also looked up at Ho Choi.

In August of the first year of Taichang (A.D. 424), another strongman in history, Emperor Wudi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, led an army to the Northern Expedition after Qin Dynasty. Land and water go hand in hand, and the later Qin dynasty, which is rich in beautiful women, is invincible and loses again and again. In March of the second year of Taichang, Emperor Wu of Song led the navy to the west of the Yellow River, ready to make a final blow to the later Qin Dynasty. Liu Yu wanted to borrow Wei to write a book to pay tribute. Tuoba Si called his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and the minister of Manchu rose up against it. Because everyone was drunk, I woke up alone. Ho Choi pushed his way through the crowd, persuaded him to take advantage of Emperor Wu of Song, let him enter the customs, and then blocked his way back. When the time comes, both sides will kill two birds with one stone. This plan can be described as sinister and sinister. But TaBaSi still worried that he was fooled by Emperor Wu of song. In the end, instead of adopting Ho Choi's rationalization proposal, he sent 65,438+10,000 troops north of the Yellow River and thousands of cavalry to harass Liu Yujun on the north bank of the Yellow River. Emperor Wu of Song's March was blocked, so he attacked Wei Jun in April. Wei Jun responded with thirty thousand riders, and the result was that Emperor Wu of Song had an inside job. Tuoba Siwen regretted Wei Jun's fiasco and missed Cui Haozhi's plan.

In November of the eighth year of Taichang (AD 43 1 year), TaBaSi died, and Prince TaBaTao ascended the throne and became Emperor Taizu. Emperor Mao is really martial. A year later, Helian Bobo, the master of Xia Dynasty, died, and all the scholars fought for power. Mao thought it was now or never and wanted to send troops to attack the summer. I often wait for a group of ministers to think that this is inappropriate and resolutely oppose it. Only Ho Choi raised his hand to show his approval. See Sun Song and others opinionated, Wu Tai flew into a rage. At that time, it was often official corruption, which was well known throughout the dynasty. Mao's old scores and new enmities welled up in his mind, so he ordered the samurai to punch and kick him often until he was black and blue and looked for teeth everywhere. Sun Song, the eldest son, is a veteran of North Korea, but the emperor's father has no mercy. He is heartless. Ho Choi, a clever man, had no pity on this, or warned him. He just smiled to himself and couldn't wait to get off the bus and punch each other.

Finally, Tuoba GUI followed Ho Choi's advice, led an army to raid the capital of Xia, and returned with great victory. After the attack on Xia Hou, Tuoba Tao decided to concentrate on attacking Rouran, so as to get rid of the threat of Rouran in the north and Liu Song in the southern dynasties. Worried that they would take the opportunity to go north, ministers discouraged Liu. Only Ho Choi strongly agreed. He confidently told TaBaTao: After the death of Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Song was weakened and became a spent force. However, he is arrogant and often talks nonsense. If we can take advantage of his arrogance, underestimate the enemy, take him by surprise and attack him by surprise, we will surely win a great victory. ? According to Ho Choi? Take it by surprise, take it by surprise? Policy, expedition, indeed as expected to win, but the main rout, and put forward pro, from now on out of the ranks of strong enemies. The great success of the crusade against Rouran once again confirmed Ho Choi's wisdom and foresight, but it also made the ministers lose face. In addition to the above extraordinary performance, Ho Choi also made great contributions to pacify the chaos of Xue Yongzong and Gaiwu, to conquer Tuyuhun and Liu Song. Ho Choi was smug and complacent, but he didn't know that bad luck was coming quietly.

become highly conceited

There is a saying:? If God wants to destroy people, he must first make them crazy. ? Unfortunately, Ho Choi, a wise man, consciously or unconsciously embarked on this self-destructive rhythm. Tuoba Tao once said to Ho Choi:? You are knowledgeable and loyal to III. I hope you can tell me what you think and help me save the world. ? He also pointed to Ho Choi and said to the high-speed bus captains who had just returned. Don't think this man is weak, but he has a thousand armor in his chest! ? Tuoba Tao not only trusted Ho Choi, but also got close to him. He sometimes goes to Cui Hao's house for advice, but in a hurry, Ho Choi has no time to cook exquisite meals, so he can only put on home-cooked dishes, such as steamed bread porridge and shredded dough. But TaBaTao didn't care, and he didn't miss it.

Not only that, Ho Choi often went to the palace to see the coachman, and often went in and out of TaBaTao's inner room like nobody's business. Ho Choi felt so good that he began to feel excited and dizzy that he was confused one after another. And Ho Choi also completely forgot his identity, he was not polite to Xianbei nobles. He often confronts them in North Korea, and sometimes he is very ironic and unreasonable. Worst of all, in September of the third year of God's reign (AD 430), Ho Choi, who felt good about himself, seemed to feel that he didn't have enough enemies, and tried to sort out and identify the clan according to the tradition of Han aristocratic families, thus offending many Xianbei nobles.

A fatal blow

Ho Choi's fatal disaster was triggered by the national record events. In December of the fifth year of Taiyan (AD 438), Tuoba Tao ordered Ho Choi, Gao Yun and others to continue the study of national history. Barto told us many times that it must be based on facts. According to this requirement, Ho Choi collected the historical materials of several generations of Wei and compiled the General History of Wei. Tuoba Tao ordered the compilation of national history, mainly to beautify propaganda and find the basis for the legitimacy of his own regime. However, after the completion of the National Records, Shi, Ji Biao and others who participated in the work suggested that the National Records be printed on a stone to make it straight. Zhan Min and Ji Biao are good at rhetoric. They usually flatter Ho Choi. Without careful consideration, Ho Choi readily adopted it. Under the supervision of Zhan Min, Yun Biao and others, the Temple of Heaven East Lisan built a forest of steles named "National Records" in a very short time.

The whole building took 130 steps in Fiona Fang, and it took 3 million workers to complete. Because the "Credentials" is a straightforward book, which tells the history of Tuoba's family in detail and has nothing to hide. Among them, the straightforward book records some ugly deeds that Tuoba did not want to know in his early years, and set up a forest of steles on the thoroughfare avenue. Xianbei nobles were indignant and gnashed their teeth. They ran to the front of TaBaTao to complain and accused Ho Choi of being interested? The evil of bombing the country, the evil of plotting? . Tuoba Tao ordered the arrest of Ho Choi. After Ho Choi was arrested, he couldn't find North for a while and knew nothing about his crimes. In order to muddle through, he confessed at random. Tuoba GUI personally questioned, Cui Hao off guard, prevaricated, irrelevant answer, always clever head in a cold sweat. In the past, Cui Hao, who was smart, energetic and omnipotent, disappeared.

In the 11th year of Taiping Zhenjun (AD 450), Wu Tai, who claimed to be Taiping Zhenjun, staged a rather unsettled play? Kill Ho Choi. When Ho Choi was taken to the south of the city for execution, not only did no one in the government or the public plead for him, but dozens of guards also gave him a urine ceremony together. At the same time, all the secretaries who participated in the revision of history were killed. Relatives of Qinghe Cui Shi, regardless of distance, in-laws john young Lushi, Taiyuan Shiguo and Hedong Liushi were all killed. This is called history? A prison of national history? . It's a dead rabbit cooking a dog. Xianbei nobles can't tolerate the Guo Cui clan of the Han nationality running the country for a long time, so they have to take advantage of it when starting a business. When Jiangshan sits firmly, they will definitely exclude the aliens from the court, or let them die.

Unfortunately, Ho Choi failed to recognize the cruel nature of Xianbei nobles and Tuoba regime from beginning to end, and repeatedly relied on talent and arrogance, turned against each other, bluffed and made enemies everywhere. Especially in the case of the strong rebound of Xianbei nobles, they still refused to stop, and blatantly engaged in some clever actions such as respecting the Han and humble the fresh, correcting surnames and erecting monuments. As a result, they were smarter than themselves, so that they missed their green life. If Ho Choi can also recognize the situation like Gao Yun, a wise man in the DPRK, he can hide his light and bide his time, or retreat quickly, or stop well, or walk away completely, and draw a satisfactory full stop for his life journey. However, this is not the character and manner of Ho Choi, a wise man. Ho Choi's cleverness and personality decided his fate. In fact, in the final analysis, Ho Choi is just a smart man, and he is far from being a real smart man.
