In governing the country, Tuoba GUI attached great importance to culture and education. Based on the Confucianism of the Han people, he followed the example of the Central Plains Dynasty for development. In addition, Tuoba GUI gradually transformed Xianbei people into farming people. In order to make the Northern Wei regime more stable, Tuoba GUI, who learned from the previous experience, moved a large number of aristocratic families out of the mainland, ensuring the centralization of the dynasty. Throughout the first half of Tuoba GUI's life, it is a magnificent imperial history.
But after Tuoba GUI was over 30 years old, the monarch who made great efforts changed. In Shu Wei, there is such an appalling record, and the words in the book are hard to make people believe that these things were actually done by Tuoba GUI:
Tuoba GUI not only waved a butcher's knife at the ministers around him, but also often sat in the chariot and killed the servants who carried the dragon chariot with their swords, which immediately made people "fill the gap." Tuoba GUI kills dozens of people every time he travels, but no one can tell what his motivation is. If Tuoba GUI is a psychopathic killer, then it is natural for him to make this insane fact. After all, the world is full of miracles, and some people are born cruel.
But before the age of 30, Tuoba GUI was obviously a wise gentleman who made great efforts to govern and knew Confucianism and Taoism. How did he become a terrible killer? According to scholars' research, Tuoba GUI's transsexuality is entirely due to his severe schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is what we often call "psychosis".
Then, why did Tuoba GUI suffer from such mental illness?
Scholars analyze the external causes and think that Tuoba GUI's mental illness is related to a drug called "Wushi Powder".
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, literati liked to talk empty talk. The so-called empty talk is based on "metaphysics" and has no practical effect. Simply put, it is caused by the emptiness of thought. At that time, the literati thought they had seen through the mystery of the world of mortals and life and death, and sought purity and enjoyment by this theory.
We are familiar with the allusion "What is snow?". In fact, it is also a kind of talk. People in Wei and Jin Dynasties who like to speak freely often refer to "Wushi San" as "Cold Food San" when talking about metaphysics. This medicine is actually an improved version of Shi Ru Powder in Tang Dynasty. Because the main components of the medicine are realgar, stalactite, celadon, cinnabar and Bai Shiying, it was called "Wushi Powder" at that time.
Li Shizhen annotated the medicinal properties of these herbs in Compendium of Materia Medica, most of which are harmful to human body. According to the analysis of modern chemistry, these medicinal materials contain a lot of compounds of mercury, lead, arsenic and sulfur. Obviously, Wushi powder is similar to the ancient "elixir". The only difference between them is that Wushi powder is a natural mineral, while alchemy is an artificially refined compound. The key to Tuoba GUI's schizophrenia lies in Wushi San.
Yanhe was a famous person in the Three Kingdoms period, and also a famous addict in the May 4th Movement. At that time, it was popular for nobles to eat black food. It is said that after taking this medicine, people's skin will become hot and dry, their mood will become happy, and a series of hallucinations will be triggered. Judging from the efficacy, Wushi powder is no different from drugs in the modern sense. After taking Wushi powder, it must be accompanied by warm wine and cold food, and insist on exercising and wearing loose clothes so that the medicinal properties can be distributed as soon as possible.
Obviously, if this drug spreads to today, it will definitely be classified as a drug. But at that time, people didn't think Wushi powder was a drug harmful to human body. On the contrary, they think that eating Wushi powder often can make people healthy and live longer.
Sun Simiao had made an in-depth study on Wushi Powder, and came to the conclusion that Wushi Powder was very toxic. I would rather eat pueraria lobata than accept five stones. If you meet this party, you must burn it, not for the sake of life ... people refuse to accept the stone, and ordinary things are not good; When the stone is in the body, everything will be peaceful. You can't take Wu Shisan. "
Sun Simiao believes that people want to take this drug because it has a strong addiction, which can give people a short-term pleasure and encourage sexual desire: "You can get bait with five stones and enjoy sex". Mr. Lu Xun, who gave up medicine and devoted himself to literature, also analyzed Fifty-three. He thinks Wushi powder is a kind of drug similar to opium.
Of course, apart from Wushisan, Tuoba GUI's experience is also an important cause of his mental illness.
Tuoba GUI spent the first half of his life on the battlefield, and his youth was spent in Jingge MOS Rail. But after he established the dynasty, he gradually fell into a dilemma. The Northern Wei Dynasty was based on the Central Plains, but it retained a large number of Xianbei customs. Tuoba GUI, as a Xianbei, was not as good as the emperor of the Central Plains in governing the country.
Tuoba Yi is Tuoba Gui's younger brother, and Muchong is Tuoba Gui's most trusted deployment. The two of them followed Tuoba GUI to the north and made great achievements. However, after Tuoba GUI established political power, the two people he trusted most betrayed him. They laid an ambush around the palace, killed Tuoba GUI and seized power.
After Tuoba GUI exposed the conspiracy, considering that the two men were powerful and full-fledged, if we delve into this matter, it would involve a wide range and it would be difficult to end. Coupled with the frequent wars in the West, the imperial court turned a blind eye to employing people and did not punish the two culprits.
Although Tuoba GUI forgave the two men generously on the surface, the taste of being betrayed by the closest person made him feel at a loss. This blow made Tuoba GUI no longer trust the minister. In 403 AD, Tuoba GUI executed the prefect and postscript of Pingyuan for the crime of arrogance and extravagance, and the whole family was killed. Because he and Zhong Lei's general Deng Yuan are good friends, Tuoba GUI gave Deng Yuan an excuse to die.
In 407 AD, Tuoba Zun, the great Changshan king, offended Tuoba GUI for a small matter, which led to his death and was given death by Tuoba GUI. In August of the same year, Sikong Yu Yue was executed by Tuoba Gui on the charge of "being well dressed, elegant and a gentleman". In 408 AD, the Medog family, who had a feud with Tuoba GUI, was executed.
Tuoba GUI in his later years, like Zhu Yuanzhang in later generations, set up "Hou Guan" to supervise his ministers.
Tuoba GUI's mental problems even directly led to the war between him and his son.
When Tuoba GUI was young, he met his aunt in Helan Department. Tuoba GUI thought her aunt was beautiful and proposed to her mother. It is naturally against the rules to marry an aunt, so the queen mother immediately said, "It's too beautiful, and there will be shortcomings." And you're married, you can't take it away. "
Who knows, Tuoba GUI refused to let go. He ordered someone to secretly kill his uncle, forcibly took his younger sister as a concubine, and gave birth to TaBaShao, king of Qinghe, instead of incest. Tuoba Shao was fierce since he was a child. He liked to rob pedestrians and took pleasure in stripping them naked. Tuoba GUI saw that Tuoba GUI was moody, so he personally hung his son upside down at the wellhead until Tuoba GUI was dying.
In 409 AD, the moody Tuoba GUI publicly condemned his Princess Helan and put her under house arrest, threatening to kill her soon. Princess Helan had to ask her son Tabashao for help. Although TaBaShao was only sixteen years old that year, he was as violent and fierce as his father. Tuoba Shao conspired with the eunuch in the palace to kill his father with a knife in Tianan Temple. Because of the sudden incident, Tuoba GUI failed to find a self-defense weapon around him, so his own son who was broken into the palace was killed.
According to unofficial history's records, there was a very effective witch among the people during the reign of Emperor Daowu who predicted that there would be chaos in the world, and only by "destroying the Qinghe River and beheading ten thousand people" could it be broken. After Tuoba GUI heard about it, he immediately sent someone to slaughter Qinghe County, and then he began to "kill ten thousand people". Tuoba GUI has a favorite concubine named "Ten Thousand People". Tuoba Shao had an affair with ten thousand people, and they plotted to kill Tuoba GUI. I have to say that this is fate, and this palace change may be the "chaos" in the witch's mouth, and the so-called "ten thousand people" is not the massacre of ten thousand people, but the favorite princess named "ten thousand people".
It was precisely because Tuoba GUI failed to understand the secret and hid around without realizing the danger that he was killed by "ten thousand enemies" and his son Tuoba Shao.
Of course, what unofficial history said was a joke, and he couldn't count it. Tuoba GUI's death was entirely caused by his mental problems.
It's no wonder that Sun Simiao put forward an initiative to kill Samurai III at that time. Wushisan turned a normal person into a madman who killed everyone. This drug is more terrible than drugs.
