Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Empress Dowager Feng has completely controlled the government, and the ideal conditions for her to realize her dream are ripe.From the moment she was raped and beheaded by the whole family when she was a child, her heart was full of pain for the bad government of the court.Empress Dowager Feng realized that although she held great power and became the real ruler of the Northern Wei Dynasty, if she wanted to carry out drastic reforms, she would definitely encounter resistance from many people inside and outside the court who kept old ideas.

Empress Dowager Feng was resourceful. She believed that in order to change the bad governance of the Northern Wei Dynasty, people's customary concepts must first be reversed.It is impossible for those stubborn and pedantic factions to accept her New Deal. If the New Deal is enforced by high-handed means, it will inevitably bring many hidden dangers, which is not conducive to the consolidation of the government

Therefore, Empress Dowager Feng set her sights on the younger generation.She believes that the younger generation can easily get in touch with her new ideas, and as long as these people grow up, her new policies will be supported by everyone.Empress Dowager Feng realized that in order to effectively implement the New Deal, a large number of talents must be trained and schools must be expanded.Empress Dowager Feng's guiding ideology laid the foundation for the establishment of rural schools in the early Northern Wei Dynasty and the establishment of schools in various states and counties.

The Northern Wei Dynasty has attached great importance to Han culture since the founding of the country by Emperor Daowu.The monarchs of all dynasties realized that although their Xianbei people prospered in the Great Xianbei Mountains, conquered the east and west by force, unified northern China, and established the Northern Wei Dynasty, but after all, the Xianbei people had a small population and did not have a deep cultural background.

The emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty realized that in order to gain a foothold in the Central Plains and achieve long-term stability, they must integrate with the Han nationality, which has a large population and profound cultural heritage.It is an impossible task to kill all Han people and completely eliminate Han culture.What's more, even if all the Han people are really wiped out, how many people will there be in Great Wei?It has long been unable to resist the Northern Rouran and the Southern Dynasty Liu Song.

Due to their long cultural history, the Han people have always believed that they are the orthodox Yanhuang, and it is almost impossible for them to accept Xianbei culture.Since the Han nationality with a large population could not be conquered culturally, the wise emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty made a decision to integrate the Xianbei nationality into the Han nationality.After a long time, there is no distinction between the Xianbei Han people, and the large Han people can naturally accept the rule of the Xianbei nobles who are originally a minority.

The founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Daowu Emperor, had just raised his troops to conquer the Quartet. Before the official founding of the country, he had a far-sighted vision and established Taixue.When the Northern Wei Dynasty was established, Emperor Daowu moved his capital to Pingcheng and built a palace in Pingcheng. In the second year, he ordered the Taixue to be moved to Pingcheng, expanded the scale of Taixue, and recruited [-] scholars.

Pingcheng is sparsely populated, and there are mainly emperors, concubines, eunuchs, and court ladies in the Forbidden Palace. This group of people is only a thousand.Then there is the Suwei Yulin Army, which is responsible for protecting the capital. There are more than [-] people, all of whom are children of the Tuoba clan.In addition to these cores, there are more than a thousand civil and military officials who rule the country.

In addition to ordinary people, among the core components of the imperial court, the Sanqiantai students are a large-scale group of people.The founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was very far-sighted and attached great importance to Taixue, so that all princes must receive a good education in Taixue since childhood.

The eldest son of Emperor Daowu, who later became Emperor Ming Yuan Tuobasi, was studious and respectful to Confucian scholars.Emperor Taiwu, the son of Emperor Ming Yuan, was even more talented, and his knowledge surpassed that of Emperor Daowu and Emperor Ming Yuan.

Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao was dissatisfied with the polysemy and polyphony of Chinese characters, and believed that the original appearance of these public security had been distorted by the literati of the past dynasties. Therefore, Emperor Taiwu created more than 1000 Chinese characters himself.At least the study of characters shows how much Emperor Taiwu attached importance to culture.

Therefore, after Emperor Taiwu, in addition to the Taixue in the capital, he gradually began to try to establish schools all over the country.This move was very popular and widely praised by the Han people.

Empress Dowager Feng proclaimed the system in court and got off to a smooth start.She is even more focused on the long-term and wants to establish government schools in various states and counties for the purpose of cultivating talents.The establishment of government schools in various states and counties is directly under the leadership of local officials, and the salaries allocated by the court are extremely easy to become the target of corrupt officials.She knows very well that the key to good or bad governance of a country lies in whether the officials are clear and clear, and the smooth construction of official schools cannot be separated from clear and clear officials.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Feng was determined to set an example of being an official to the civil and military officials of the Great Wei Dynasty. The best candidate in her heart was of course Gao Yun.Back then when she was the Empress Dowager, when she was confined to the palace to recuperate her wounds, she and Emperor Xianwen Tuo Bahong led all the officials to the Gaofu's younger brother, making all the officials bet on how poor and honest Gao Yun was.For this reason, the Empress Dowager also personally called Gao Yun "Ling Gong", and Emperor Xianwen even sent an edict to establish Gao Yun as a "model for all officials."

After Yi Hun was punished, Gao Yun, who played a secret role in stabilizing the government, was highly praised by Empress Dowager Feng.

Empress Dowager Feng chose Gao Yun after full deliberation, because she believed that setting Gao Yun as an example would not cause controversy among civil and military officials.This is because Gao Yun has three outstanding advantages:

The first advantage of Gao Yun is integrity: the emperors of all dynasties believed that besides talent, the most important character of a courtier is to uphold the truth.Gao Yun dared to uphold the truth and correct the emperor's mistakes.

At that time, Situ Cuihao convened to write "National Records", to record the predecessors of Longxing Daxianbei Mountain in the Northern Wei Dynasty, what achievements they had, and then what achievements were made by Emperor Daowu and Emperor Ming Yuan. recorded in history.This grand project requires the participation of many talents. In addition to appointing Cui Hao to be in charge, Emperor Taiwu also prepared two deputies for Situ Cui Hao, one of which was Gao Yun.

Emperor Taiwu explained to Situ Cuihao and his deputies and subordinates the great significance of revising the history of the country, emphasizing in particular that "follow the facts".The compilation of the history of the country must respect the facts. Since this is the emperor's oral order, all those involved in the compilation of the history attach great importance to it.

All of a sudden, literati were proud to participate in the construction of national history.Among them, a flattering official to curry favor with Situ Cui Hao said that the emperor attached so much importance to the history of the state of Wei, that is, the history of the Great Wei State, and that the common people, officials and people should all learn from it. Therefore, he suggested that "please set up a stone inscription, publish the letter of credence, and annotate the five classics, Hao agrees." Of."

Sometimes when classic texts are involved, annotations should be made, and these are all engraved for everyone to read.This is a great way to spread the word.The overjoyed Cui Hao heard it, without thinking too much, and strongly agreed.At that time, the prince Tuoba Huang also felt that this idea was very good, so he played Emperor Taiwu together with Situ Cui Hao.Although Emperor Taiwu was wise and wise, he was very happy to hear the words of the crown prince Tuobahuang and Situ Cuihao. He was very happy and readily agreed.

Therefore, the revision of the history of the country was finalized while writing, and at the same time craftsmen were called to engrave it on the stone tablet.At that time, a place was found three miles outside the east gate of the capital. These steles had a total of 130 steps on each side, roughly equivalent to 100 meters, at least several hundred steles.Since the stele stands on the side of a main road, and there are many people coming and going, everyone sees that this is the history of the Great Wei Kingdom, and they are very concerned about it, and it is widely spread.
