Chapter 176 Eastern and Western Wei
The sky slowly unfolds,

The Wei-Liang territory map that originally divided north and south changed again.

The Wei Dynasty, which dominated the north, was divided into two.

The Yellow River flowing from north to west is the dividing line.

To the east is the "Eastern Wei", and an eight-foot-long figure appears in the sky.

His physical appearance is like a god, his eyebrows are thick and beautiful, and his eyes are bright.

Next to it is written "Gao Huan"

To the west is the "Western Wei", and an eight-foot-long figure also appears.

He has floor-length hair, a handsome beard, and a purple face.

Next to it is written "Yu Wentai"

……

[In 499 AD, after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty died, his son Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke succeeded to the throne. 】

[Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke was mediocre and incompetent, and appointed Gao Zhao, the brother of Empress Dowager Gao, to lead political corruption and sell off officials at a price, and the Northern Wei Dynasty gradually turned from prosperity to decline. 】

[Because Emperor Xuanwu loved Buddhism, his wife Hu gave birth to a son, Yuanxu, and established him as the crown prince. He abolished the "child noble mother's death system" and did not kill Hu, and made her a noble concubine. 】

[In 515 AD, Emperor Xuanwu died, Emperor Xiaoming and Yuanxu came to the throne, and Empress Dowager Gao came to the throne. 】

[Empress Dowager Gao wanted to kill Hu Guifei, but Liu Teng and others tried to stop her. 】

[In 516 AD, Hu Guifei conspired with Liu Teng and others to ambush Gao Zhao and kill the Empress Dowager Gao. The Hu family claimed to be the Empress Dowager and took the throne at the court to serve Liu Teng and her brother-in-law Yuan Yi. 】

[Empress Dowager Hu favored Emperor Xiaowen's son, Prince Yuanyi of Qinghe. Yuan Yi and Liu Teng killed King Qinghe and imprisoned Queen Mother Hu. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che looked at the sky and sneered.

He turned to look at Wei Zifu who was about to open his mouth but then closed his mouth.

Wei Zifu looked at Liu Che doubtfully.

Liu Che smiled:
"It's okay, the queen is very beautiful, I admire her."

Wei Zifu knew that his words were untrue, but he smiled obediently.

Huo Qubing looked at Liu Che with his eyes closed.

'Your Majesty doesn't mean to say, you see, I am right to leave the mother and leave the son! '

Huo Qubing thought seriously.

'Um! Your Majesty must want to say this! '

Northern Wei Dynasty·Era of Emperor Taiwu

Tuoba Tao looked at the sky with murderous intent.

"Tuoba Hong is like an eagle!"

"How could you have a son who is as stupid as a pig!"

Didn’t I order the destruction of this Buddhism?

What treacherous person restored it!

The angry Tuoba Tao suddenly had an idea flash in his mind!
It's the prince! It must be the prince!

When I issued the edict, he repeatedly disobeyed and secretly tried to protect the monks.

Tuoba Tao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Let the prince come and see me."

The new eunuch on the side took over the order.

……

Continue playing on the marquee

The scene slowly advances from the sky to the northern land.

The sun was blazing.

The originally vibrant green land turned into a withered yellow.

Rivers run dry, wells run dry, and the earth cracks deep wrinkles.

Huaihuang Town,

"Sir! Give me some food!"

"If we don't provide food, our brothers will starve to death!"

"Sir, have mercy and save us!"

Hungry faces surrounded an official, begging.

The official looked at the hungry people and said sternly:

"I have said this countless times!"

"Opening a warehouse to release grain requires the permission of the imperial court!"

"As a general, how can I know the law and break it?!"

"Hurry up and go back and forth from where you are!"

"If the crowd gathers again, we will not retreat! We will kill you without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence all around.

The official with his beard twirling was surprised.

Why are these unruly people so quiet this time?

Looking down,
The face that originally only had the intention of begging turned into a ferocious look!

……

[In 523 AD, there was a severe drought in the north, and there was a lack of grass and food both outside and inside the Great Wall. 】

[Rouran, who was hungry and poor, asked the Northern Wei Dynasty for food but failed, so he sent troops to Huaihuang Town to plunder. 】

[Huaihuang Town was already suffering from famine, so the disaster was even worse. The residents of Huaihuang Town, who were responsible for defending against the enemy, strongly requested that the warehouse be opened to provide grain, but the town Yu Jing arbitrarily refused. 】

[There was a serious danger in Rouran in the front, and there was a risk of starvation and death in the back. Anyway, it was death. Therefore, the townspeople of Huaihuang swarmed up to kill the town's governor Jing, and plundered all the food in the treasury. 】

[At this point, the chaos in the six towns begins! 】

……

On the territory map, Huaihuang Town, located on the easternmost side of the Great Wall and reaching the Yanshan Mountains, was blazing with fire.

Then the war broke out in Woye Town on the far west side!
The rest of the land also began to rebel one after another.

The land of Hetao fell.

……

[In March, the descendants of the Xiongnu royal family broke Liuhan Baling and incited the residents of Woye to revolt. The townspeople, who had been oppressed by the generals and Daibei Qiangzong, broke out in a large scale. 】

[In April, Hu Chen, the chief of the Hu tribe in Gaoping Town, heard the news, led his people to rebel, killed the town general, and called himself King Gaoping, echoing the rebels in Woye Town. 】

[In June, Mo Zhe Dati, a native of Qinzhou, occupied Qinzhou City and claimed to be the King of Qin and rebelled against the court. After Mo Zhe Dati died, his son Mo Zhe Nian succeeded him and established himself as emperor. 】

[In July, the chiefs of the Hu tribe in Liangzhou, Yu Boti and Hu Yanxiong, assassinated the governor of Liangzhou and rebelled in the city. 】

[In October, Liu Anding and Jiudexing of Yingzhou killed the assassin Li Zhongzun and rebelled in Jicheng. Liu Anding was killed by Wang Er'er, a man of the city. He fled eastward from Jiudexing and named himself King of Yan, continuing the rebellion. 】

[In December, the Hu people in Zhengping and Pingyang of Fenzhou rebelled. 】

[In the first month of 524 AD, Yuan Faseng, the governor of Xuzhou, occupied Xuzhou City and claimed to be the king of Song Dynasty and rebelled against the Northern Wei Dynasty. 】【The Northern Wei Dynasty sent a large army to conquer, but due to the lack of generals, the army was defeated one after another. 】

[In order to suppress the successive rebellions, the Northern Wei Dynasty finally came up with a plan that seemed more feasible: asking Rouran to send troops to quell the rebellion. 】

……

{The beginning of luring the wolf into the house. }
{It is easy to invite God but difficult to send him away. }
{The trigger of the Six Towns Rebellion was that the Sinicization and gentryization of the Northern Wei Dynasty crowded out the career paths of the soldiers in the Six Towns. }
{The royal family and the noble family occupy a large amount of government resources. The number of noble families is increasing indefinitely, but the official positions in the court are not enough to arrange for so many people to serve as palaces, and some minor officials are not willing to work. }
{Some people also proposed to ban military promotions and leave the vacant positions to nobles. The six towns on the edge of the Northern Wei Dynasty were the first to suffer. }
{The military town at that time was not an administrative district, but a war zone, and the townspeople at that time were not ordinary people, but soldiers. }
{The killing of the town generals by the townspeople is essentially a mutiny by the soldiers, not a rebellion by the common people. }
{The later operations of Empress Dowager Hu and Emperor Wu of Liang made me sigh: the excellent matching mechanism of China during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (dog head)}
{Leave this to Yu Wentai and Gao Huan. }

Northern Wei Dynasty, period of Emperor Xiaowen

Tuoba Hong looked at the sky in disbelief.

Why is my Dawei still cracked?
Is it wrong for me to restructure?
But without restructuring, Wei State would still be a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural country.

Wars and plundering are still needed to maintain survival needs.

You can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately!
……

Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xuanwu period

Yuan Ke looked at the sky blankly.

I captured the Sichuan land of Liang Dynasty in the south and Rouran in the north. The country became very powerful for a while!
Why did it suddenly become so chaotic?

Moreover, the six towns are the main force resisting Rouran, and each town has a general to lead the army and prepare for the defense!

Its generals are all confidants of the imperial court!
Even the soldiers on guard are clan members or descendants of the powerful clan of the Tuoba clan!

How could it be possible to ignore the children of Six Towns?

……

[In February of 525 AD, Anagui, the leader of Rouran, led an army of troops to march westward towards Woye Town. They fought and won consecutive battles and defeated the armies of the six towns. 】

[In May, Liu Teng died, and Yuan Yi's precautions were slightly neglected. Empress Dowager Hu tried to kill Yuan Yi and return to the court to claim control. 】

[After Empress Dowager Hu took power, she acted arbitrarily and reused her favorite ministers and villains. She became extremely corrupt, civil strife continued within the country, the court had no prestige, and the political situation of the Northern Wei Dynasty began to deteriorate. 】

[In February 528 AD, Emperor Xiaoming wanted to recruit foreign aid to control the Queen Mother, so he summoned Er Zhurong, the chief of Qihu in Bingzhou, to the capital. 】

[Empress Dowager Hu then committed poison and killed Emperor Xiaoming Yuan Xu, falsely claiming that the girl Yuan Xu, who was born that month to Emperor Xiaoming, was the prince, and wanted to make her the emperor. 】

[However, the matter could not be revealed, so the three-year-old Yuan Zhao, the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaowen Yuan Hong and the son of Lintao King Yuan Baohui, was made emperor instead. 】

[In the same month, Er Zhurong, under the pretense of Emperor Xiaoming's will, established Yuan Ziyou, the younger brother of Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong and the son of Yuanxie, King of Pengcheng, as the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was the Emperor Xiaozhuang of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Then he marched into Luoyang. 】

[On April 13, Er Zhurong lied that Wang Yuanyong of Gaoyang wanted to rebel, and used this as an excuse to drown the Empress Dowager Hu and the young emperor Yuan Zhao in Taozhu, Heyin, and sent troops to surround and kill more than 2,000 princes and officials. , known as the "Heyin Incident" in history. 】

……

Da Qin,

There was a gloomy atmosphere in Zhangtai Palace.

The palace attendants outside the palace all lowered their heads and breathed slowly, for fear of making any strange noise.

Ying Zheng looked at the sky with gloomy eyes without saying a word.

……

Big man,

Lu Pheasant looked at the sky with cold eyes, and then glared at Liu Bang fiercely.

Liu Bang instantly understood what he meant, and he slapped the case and said angrily:

"Naigong, say it again!"

"Nai Gong never kicked them out of the car! No!"

Then he pointed at Liu Ying and said harshly:
"Tell me! Did Mr. Nai kick you and Lu Yuan before?"

Before Liu Ying could answer, Lu Pheasant on the side also slapped the table fiercely! Shout loudly!
"Liu Ji! Speak up! If you don't feel guilty, why are you yelling at him?"

Liu Bang opened his mouth wide and pointed at himself with trembling hands:

"I feel guilty? I feel guilty?!"

How many cases can be made in one shot! He said angrily:
"Ever since he was born, Nai Gong has never known how to write the word "but guilty"!

"boom!"

"Why are you yelling if you don't feel guilty?!"

"boom!"

"What I haven't done! I don't admit it!"

"Father, Mom, please stop arguing! Stop arguing!"

"boom!"

"Then why are you yelling!"

"boom!"

"Lu Zhi! You are going too far!"

Xiao He and Zhang Liang below were drinking while listening to the constant "bang bang" sound.

At the same time, they looked at the two emperors and empresses who kept arguing with each other.

Xiao He moved to the side and elbowed Zhang Liang, who was drinking.

"Look, is it right to let you out? Can you see this scene while hiding in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Zhang Liang glanced at Xiao He and said calmly:
"You know, you are just like His Majesty now."

Xiao He was not happy when he heard this.

Who are you calling a rogue? Who do you think is disgusting?
Just when I was about to refute, I heard bang! Click! Bang! A voice came from above.

Oops! The fight started!
The two of them stood up and looked up, and saw that the troubled case was almost broken into several pieces, and they could finally rest in peace.

Seeing that there were just a few broken things scattered on the floor, the two old men slowly sat back down and continued eating and drinking.

Liu Ying was left looking at Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant with a sad face as they looked at each other with hatred.

"Zhuzi! Speak!"

"You still yelled at him!"

"Lu Zhi! You shrew!"

"Liu Ji! You gangster!"

……

[In 530 AD, Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuanzi You lured Zhu Rong into the court and then killed him. 】

[Er Zhu Rong's subordinate Er Zhu Zhao raised an army to kill the emperor and established Yuan Ye as the king of Changguang. The next year he was deposed and Emperor Min Yuan Gong was established. 】

[In 531 AD, Gao Huan raised his troops in Xindu, established Bohai Prefect Yuen Long, and attacked Yecheng. 】

[Gao Huan defeated Er Zhu Zhao and entered Luoyang, deposed Emperor Jie Min and Yuan Long, and established Emperor Xiao Wu and Yuan Xiu. 】

[In 534 AD, Emperor Xiaowu was at odds with Gao Huan, so he abandoned Gao Huan and ran west to Guanzhong, joining Daxingtai in Guanzhong to congratulate Ba Yue and Yu Wentai. 】

[Gao Huan was caught off guard and hurriedly made the eleven-year-old Yuan Shanjian, the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaowen, the grandson of Yuanyi, the king of Wenxuan of Qinghe, and the son of Yuandan, the king of Wenxuan of Qinghe, as emperor. 】

[With Yecheng as the capital, the Eastern Wei regime was established, and Yuan Shanjian became Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. 】

[In 535 AD, Emperor Xiaowu Yuanxiu defected to Guanzhong and wanted to seize power from Yuwentai. He had frequent conflicts with Yuwentai and was poisoned by Yuwentai. 】

[Yu Wentai replaced Yuan Baoju, the grandson of Emperor Xiaowen Yuan Hong and the son of Yuan Yu, King of Jingzhao, as emperor, and established the capital in Chang'an. Yuan Baoju became Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty. 】

[At this point, the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties. The emperor was still the Yuan family, and the political power claimed to be inherited from the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, they were nothing more than puppets of the Gao family and the Yuwen family. 】

[In 535 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty fell. 】

 Northern Qi, Southern Chen, Northern Zhou, and then the Sui and Tang expansion pack begins!
