Since Taihe moved its capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the country has become rich and the national treasury is full, so that even the cloisters and corridors of the national treasury are full of uncovered coins and silks, which are hard to count. One day, the Queen Mother had a whim, why not give the extra silks to the officials, which would not only reward their work, but also reduce the inventory pressure.

The condition is that you can only take it yourself and do what you can. Under the supervision of Empress Dowager Cixi, most officials transported silks and silks back on their own. Only Zhang Wu, Wang Yuan and Li Chong, the secretary, fell down and hurt their ankles because they were carrying too much. The queen mother decided that they violated the rules and ordered them to go back empty-handed, which became a joke for everyone. Cui Guang, who was a waiter at that time, was also present, but he only took two pieces of silk.

The queen mother saw it and asked, "Shi Zhong, why do you only take so much?" Cui Guang replied, "I only have two hands, so I can only take two hands, but that's enough." Everyone in the court obeyed his integrity.

After Wei Zitai and his move to the capital, the country became rich and powerful, the national treasury flooded, and money, grain and silk accumulated in the cloister, which was countless. Empress Dowager Cixi gave the officials silk, and they measured it at will, and the courtiers left without weighing their strength. Rong, Chen, Li Changchong crossed the post and fell to the ground. The Queen Mother doesn't talk to her, leaving her alone. When she talks, people laugh.

Cui Guang no longer rides two horses. The queen mother asked, "Why are there so few servants?" He said: "I have two hands, only two hands, and I have gained a lot." Pay tribute to your dignity and serve your integrity.

Galand in Luoyang by Yang Xuanzhi in Northern Wei Dynasty

Extended data:

Creation background

After the Yongjia Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty in 3 1 1 year (Yongjia five years), Buddhism became increasingly popular in the north, and it became popular to dig caves and build temples in society. Only Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has more than 1,000 temples built inside and outside the city. After the change of dynasty, Luoyang was in a state of war and became a ruin. The capital also moved to Ye.

In 547 AD (the fifth year of Wuding in the Eastern Wei Dynasty), Yang Xuanzhi wrote this book because of the road crossing Luoyang, but he was saddened by the bleak scene of the bustling city "battlements collapsed, palaces overturned, temples turned to ashes, and temples and towers were in ruins". Its significance covers three aspects: remembering the old scene of Luoyang and preserving historical facts; Express the sadness of national destruction and the collapse of Kyoto; Expose the ruler's addiction to the scourge of Buddhist superstition.

2. Tell an ancient story about moving the capital, and thank Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty for moving the capital to Luoyang urgently.

After the death of Emperor Tai Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Wei Emperor stopped practicing the policy of strengthening the country by force and frugality, and politics began to become increasingly corrupt. Xianbei nobles and big businessmen oppressed the people and constantly caused resistance from the people in the north. Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong is the fourth generation descendant of Taizu Tuoba Tao (Tuoba Tao-Tuoba Huang-Tuoba Jun-Tuoba Hong-Tuoba Hong), the eldest son of Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the seventh monarch in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The young Tabahon was raised by his grandmother and served as regent. In 490 AD, 24-year-old Tuoba Hong began to lead the government, and he began to carry out drastic sinicization reform.

Emperor Xiaowen of Wei stipulated the salaries of officials and severely punished corrupt officials. Implement the "land equalization system" and distribute the wasteland to farmers, 40 mu for adult men and 20 mu for women, so that they can grow grain and distribute it to mulberry fields. Farmers must pay rent and serve the government. When farmers die, they should all be returned to the government, except Sangtian. As a result, more fields were cultivated, farmers' production and life were relatively stable, and the income of the Northern Wei regime also increased.

In order to learn and accept the advanced culture of the Han nationality and further strengthen the rule of the Yellow River valley, he decided to move the capital from Pingcheng (now northeast of Datong City, Shanxi Province) to Luoyang. Because of this, he was afraid that ministers would oppose the idea of moving the capital, and first proposed a massive attack on Nanqi. Once in court, he put forward this plan, and ministers opposed it. The most intense one was Ren Tuoba Cheng. Emperor Xiaowen was very angry and said, "The country is my country. Do you want to stop me from fighting? " Tuoba Cheng retorted: "Although the country belongs to your Majesty, I am the minister of the country, and I know the danger of using troops. How can I not talk about it?" After thinking for a moment, Emperor Xiaowen announced his retirement from the DPRK and returned to the palace. He summoned Tuoba Cheng alone and said to him, "To tell you the truth, I was angry with you just now to scare everyone. What I really mean is that I don't think Pingcheng is a place to use force and is not suitable for political reform. Now I want to change the customs, but I have to move the capital. In fact, I want to take this opportunity to lead the civil and military officials to move to the Central Plains. What do you think? "

TaBaCheng suddenly enlighted, immediately agreed with Wei Xiaowen. In 493 AD, Emperor Xiaowen personally led more than 300,000 infantry and cavalry south, starting from Pingcheng and arriving in Luoyang. It happened that the autumn rain lasted for a whole month, and the roads were muddy everywhere, making it difficult to March. However, Emperor Xiaowen still rode out of the city wearing a helmet and armour and ordered to continue marching. Ministers didn't want to send troops to cut Qi, so they took advantage of the heavy rain to stop it. Emperor Xiaowen said seriously: "This time, if you choose to mobilize the masses, if you give up halfway, it will be a joke for future generations. If you can't go south, move the capital here. What do you think? " Everyone looked at each other and said nothing. Emperor Xiaowen said, "Don't hesitate. The station that agrees to move the capital is on the left, and the station that disagrees is on the right. " A nobleman said, "As long as your majesty agrees to stop the expedition to the south, then we are willing to move the capital to Luoyang." Although many civil and military officials are not in favor of moving the capital, they have heard that the southern expedition can be stopped and have to express their support for moving the capital.

Emperor Xiaowen arranged one end of Luoyang and sent Wang Cheng Tuoba Cheng back to Pingcheng to publicize the benefits of moving the capital to the princes and nobles there. Later, he personally went to Pingcheng, and called the nobles and the old ministers to discuss the relocation of the capital. There are still many voices of opposition among the nobles of Pingcheng. They moved out one reason after another and were refuted by Emperor Xiaowen. Finally, those people really couldn't figure it out and had to say, "Moving the capital is a big deal. Whether it is bad luck or bad luck, let's divine. " Emperor Xiaowen said: "Divination is to solve difficult things." There is no doubt about moving the capital. There is nothing to worry about. If you want to rule the world, make the four seas your home. There is no fixed reason for going south today and going north tomorrow. Besides, we moved several times in the last generation. Why can't I move? "Noble ministers were rendered speechless by refutation, so it was decided to move the capital to Luoyang.

4. Why did Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty move to Los Angeles? First, it is related to advocating Chinese culture.

TaBaHong, Emperor Xiaowen, received a good cultural education in China and worshipped the culture of the Chinese nation. Emperor Xiaowen praised Sinology, let Hu people learn Chinese characters, wear Hanfu, and appoint Han officials.

Moving the capital to Luoyang is also to move closer to the Central Plains. Second, the need to rule the Central Plains.

Emperor Xiaowen is an accomplished politician. He doesn't want to be the king of China, nor does he want to be the king of the people. If you want to be the king of the people of China, you should naturally put your capital in the orthodox capital of China.

Third, solve the problem of food supply. The north of Pingcheng is cold, and the grain output is very limited.

Moving the capital to Luoyang solved the most fundamental food problem. Fourth, the influence of geographical environment.

Pingcheng (now northeast of Datong, Shanxi) is located in the north, with mountainous terrain, arid climate and low temperature, which is not conducive to the growth of crops, and natural conditions restrict the further development of the northern Wei economy.

5. Why did the Northern Wei Dynasty move its capital? In 494 AD, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty officially moved to Luoyang.

The reasons why the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang are as follows: First, it is related to the admiration of Chinese culture. Luoyang is an ideal place for ancient emperors to establish their capital and establish their careers, and it is also a place with profound Chinese culture. Emperor Xiaowen, TaBaHong, received a good cultural education in China and worshipped the culture of the Han nationality.

Second, the need to rule the Central Plains. Third, solve the problem of food supply.

The north of Pingcheng is cold, and the grain output is very limited. Luoyang is located in the center of the northern and plain areas, with convenient transportation. Moving the capital to Luoyang solved the most fundamental food problem.

Fourth, the influence of geographical environment. Luoyang is located in the west bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, in the Central Plains, surrounded by mountains and waters, known as the "warm land of nine continents", with distinct seasons and pleasant climate. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists and naturally became an ideal place for ancient emperors to build their capital.

Emperor Xiaowen's move to Luoyang not only showed the great talent of a generation of emperors, but also made Luoyang prosperous again after Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty.

6. Xue translated the ancient prose Xue, whose name is Gongrang, from Fenyang, Hedong.

He is young but cunning and chivalrous, and loves money and justice. At the end of Zheng Guang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was chaos and war everywhere. The imperial court specially recruited three thousand horses and made them other generals.

More than 7,000 people were summoned for a break, and they were appointed General Anbei and General Xifang. Because of his military achievements, he was worshipped by the governor of Longmen Town.

Later, Yuan Fengxian, an emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and others made an insurrection and attacked the city pool slightly. After a break, he saw the chaos in the world, mobilized troops to rebel and called himself General Huang Yue.

The court ordered Commander-in-Chief Zong Zheng to lead an army against him. Before the army arrived, he felt ashamed and regretted, and accepted the title of general when he asked. Fengxian and others still hold important positions and refuse to surrender.

Hugh wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender. The imperial court named Feng Xian General Long Xiang and Yang, and later renamed him Fenyin Hou.

Zhu Rong thought Xue was capricious, so he sent him to Jinyang and was locked up with Gao Gao and others. Zhu Rongling led the troops into Luo, let Yixiu and others set out with the army and were placed in the cattle dragging department.

Zhu Rong was executed, and Wei Xiao Zhuang appointed him the viceroy of Hongnong, Hebei, Hedong and Zhengping. At this time, Emperor Gao Huan was appointed as the secretariat of Jinzhou. He was treated well when he arrived.

Gao Huan defeated Zhu in the Han Mausoleum, and won a great victory. He was appointed as the agent of Bing government affairs. Emperor Xiao fled to Kansai, and Gao Huan ordered him to go to the right platform. Crossing the Yellow River from Longmen, he surrendered to Xue Chongli, the secretariat of the Western Wei and North China.

When Emperor Gao Huan wanted to overhaul Jinzhou City, Sima Yufang, a Chinese and foreign politician, advised, "If enemy soldiers come here, what's the use of having a city?" Then don't stop repairing it After the failure of Shayuan, the northern Wei army moved people from Qin, Nanfen and Dongyong to Bingzhou, and wanted to give up Jinzhou and move their family to Hero City.

After a pause, he said, "If Jinzhou is lost, Dingzhou cannot be saved." Emperor Wu was very angry and said, "You all want to betray me. Some time ago, you didn't let me build Bingzhou City, leaving me nowhere to live. "

Yixiu said, "If Golden State falls, please kill me." Hu also advised: "We must rely on this Han boy to defend Jinzhou, and take his whole family hostage, and don't give him military forces."

Emperor Wu took his advice and ordered a break to manage Jinzhou's affairs. Sun Ziyan, the eldest son of Yitong in the Western Wei Dynasty, led his troops to Jinzhou at the gates. After a break, he opened the gate and ambushed him there.

Sun Ziyan couldn't guess the actual situation in the city, so he withdrew. Emperor SHEN WOO appreciated him very much and made him the secretariat of Jinzhou.

Later, he was appointed as the secretariat of qi zhou, and was dismissed for his greed for money. Thinking of his contribution to defending Jinzhou, he resumed his original office.

Soon, due to his military achievements, Jin was named Zhengping County Duke and was named Kaifu. During the period of natural forest protection, he died in the official position of Prince Taibao, and posthumously granted it was common.
