Force scumbags to follow good records

If this is a later generation, if this storytelling writer talks about this period of history, I am afraid that he will wake up and say: "It is said that when Emperor Ai was in power, there were barbarians and monsters who harmed the country and caused chaos in the government. It's the reincarnation of the fox demon..."

It is always inseparable from judgments such as loyal and treacherous ministers, karma, etc., but it is a storytelling, not history, and it is not the book in Shen Fangliang's hand that lays out events that will happen in a straightforward manner without comment. Nine Swords Jianghu Guide", so let’s roughly talk about the things that Emperor Wei Ai did behind. When the crown prince was abolished, but the crown prince had a high reputation and had no major faults that prevented him from doing anything, he really couldn't figure out any tricks.

For a long time, some scholars in later generations who have not studied materialism will attribute the demise of a dynasty to the destiny. This is of course unreasonable, but it is also somewhat unreasonable. There are many times when there are a lot of comparisons, or bad luck, and this kind of bad luck is placed on the Western Wei Dynasty, that is, um, this planet that humans inhabit begins to enter a periodic cold season, and then the Western Wei Dynasty To the north, on the prairie where nomads popped up one after another, several years of heavy snowstorms made the already desolate northern prairie even more desolate. The livestock raised by the herdsmen died in large numbers, and the prairie people who could not survive Did what they always did when they couldn't survive - went south and robbed.

Turkic raids to the south were a disaster for the border people of the Western Wei Dynasty, but for Emperor Wei Ai who wanted to abolish his prince, it was a god-sent opportunity. Seizing this opportunity, Emperor Wei Ai kicked his prince to the border To fight against the Turks, and then he did something that his blue-eyed beauty didn't even bother to look down on, that is, when his son was desperately in front, he cut off the food and grass in the rear.

This unlucky prince of a well-behaved old man who is about to age but still rebellious in his heart, guards the border to deal with a large number of Turkic people who are forced to come down south by the cold winter and blizzard to compete for the chance of survival with the Western Wei people. Staring at the troublesome father, the prince feels aggrieved, he is not a god, it is impossible to conjure food and grass out of thin air.

Seeing this going on like this, the Wei army that I lead will be wiped out sooner or later. Think about my wife and concubine who are still in the capital, that big family, as well as relatives and friends, such as uncle's family, such as the teacher is the prince Taifu, such as those civil servants who are close to him, if he loses, these people may not survive, but in the current situation, the food and grass are almost eaten up, people have nothing to eat, so they don’t need to be beaten, so I will hang up first .

The crown prince was sad and angry, one was that he wanted to take revenge on his father, and the other was that in order not to hurt his relatives and friends in the defeat, the crown prince wiped his neck, and left a posthumous poem to express his ambition when he was dying: "The father of the king has the right to pour the whole country, and the son The minister is powerless to return to heaven."

The prince wiped his neck, and the two armies are facing each other. One side is the grassland wolves who will freeze to death and starve to death if they don't try their best. Say more?

The final result of this incident was that the more than [-] troops from the Western Wei Dynasty who had marched to the border, well, were defeated by the Turks. Yanmen Pass fell, Tongguan fell, and the Turks drove straight in, broke through the capital, and wiped out the entire royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Emperor Wei Ai hugged Yuxi and his blue-eyed beauty and wanted to escape the capital while taking advantage of the chaos. As a result, the white dragon fish suit was cut in half by a Turkic man who didn't know how to use polite manners and didn't recognize that she was the emperor. The blue-eyed beauty He was captured by the Turkic people who also knew how to appreciate beauties. It is said that the blue-eyed son of Emperor Wei Ai later filled in two more Turkic mixed-race brothers.

However, if compared with the fate of the entire Western Wei royal family, the fate of this blue-eyed beauty is not bad, at least she saved her life. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Wei, she fought against the Turkic people several times. It can be said that she is an old enemy. The Turkic people In order to prevent someone from using the title of the Western Wei royal family to summon the Rebel Army King Qin, the entire Western Wei royal family was chopped off, and even the baby in the swaddle was directly pierced with a knife.

It's cruel, but it can't be said to be stupid. After all, in the entire land of China, the population of the Han people is dozens of times that of the Turkic people. The Turkic people invaded the Central Plains, but it doesn't mean they are not afraid. After all, this is not the grassland desert they are familiar with. After walking a few steps, they were all Han Chinese, and they were all people of a different ethnicity from them. Therefore, in the eyes of the Turks, eradicating the Western Wei royal family was a necessary act to prevent the Han people from rebelling.

In other words, as mentioned earlier, the Western Wei Dynasty was followed by the Eastern Wei Dynasty. That is to say, the Li family has not been killed. Otherwise, even if the subsequent dynasty was established by the Han people, the country name must be changed. Generally speaking, only the successive dynasties descended from the same ancestor will have the same country name.

So the Li Wei clan is not dead, why not?

It can only be called luck. When Li Wei founded the country, there was a great general named Han Yulong who made great military exploits. When Han Yulong was stationed at Yanmen Pass, one of Li Wei's clans that he relied on was very important because he followed Han Yunlong and defeated the Turks several times. The emperor at that time named Anping County King, and Wei Taizu personally promised this branch of the Anping County King's clan, allowing him to be hereditary, and his title would not be reduced, and he would be the County King forever.

The branch of Anping County King has been stationed at the border, and has made great military exploits. Two generations of emperors passed after the death of Taizu. At that time, Emperor Hui, who succeeded the throne, was suspicious of the clan of Anping County King, so he used the excuse that pirates in the south were rampant. The Anping County Prince's Mansion and the Army of the County Prince's Mansion were moved to the south, and they were sent to fight pirates. That's it, this branch of Li Wei's clan took root in the south.

When the news of the destruction of the capital came, many of the aristocratic families in the north and the local tyrants fled south, and they came to the royal palace of Anping County with clan status. Seeing the Turkic people burning, killing and looting in the north, and even the news of massacres, one by one was very flustered. Seeing that the Turkic people were going to fight near the Yangtze River, these wealthy families in the south made a calculation and felt that the Anping County Prince's Mansion was rooted in the south It has been nearly a hundred years, and they are familiar with each other, so they are reliable, but those rich families who went south from the north feel that Li Wei's clan has been killed, not even a personal hair is left, and now only a branch of the Prince's Mansion in Anping County is left, which is still famous call the rebels.

So in the end, these many prestigious family gentry, all of them together, jointly elected the lineage of Anping County King as the emperor and the country.

The lineage of Anping County Prince's Mansion is also very competitive. It may be because of fighting against pirates all the year round. Brothers and nephews are very tough, and they have not been worn out by the too peaceful days. The county prince's mansion summoned rebels, prepared food and grass, gathered forces from all sides, and fought against the Turks.

First, they defended the Yangtze River with the advantage of their relatively strong naval forces, and then gradually expanded to the north. After decades of fighting in the South and the North, they finally defeated another rising tribe on the United Grassland—the Uighurs. The people were almost wiped out, and finally succeeded in regaining the old northern territory, moved the capital to Chang'an, and established the current Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Now, the Eastern Wei Dynasty has been handed down to the third emperor. It is the time when the national power is at its peak, and it has a bit of the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the past.
