Chapter 55: Underground

North

The Northern Wei Dynasty was the first dynasty of the Northern Dynasty, which ended the chaotic division of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms in the north and unified the north.

In January 386 B.C., the Xianbei tribe Tuoba Jue held a tribal assembly in Niuchuan to inherit the throne, and in April of the same year, Tuoba Jue called the King of Wei, and the country was called Wei, which was the Northern Wei Dynasty. Northern Wei grew under the careful rule of Tuoba Jue, but he was unfortunately assassinated in a palace coup in 409 AD, reigning for twenty-four years at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. In order to establish the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Jue conquered the east and the west, and made great contributions.

In 409 AD, Tuoba heir, who was the crown prince, succeeded to the throne after killing the rebellious Tuoba Shao. After Tuoba Hei carried out the Northern Expedition, Rouran broke Rouran and personally conquered Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty, died of illness after hard work, reigned for 15 years, and died at the age of 32.

In 423 AD, Tuoba Tao, the eldest son of Tuoba heir, succeeded to the throne, and Tuoba Tao succeeded to the throne to resist Rouran, defeat Hu Xia, unify the north and then attack Liu Song in the south.

In his later years, Tuoba Tao was short-tempered, often killed, and regretted it after killing people. Due to the harsh punishments, there have been several times of political chaos in the country. Later, at the instigation of Zhongchang Zong Ai, he forced the prince of Jingmu to death. In 452 AD, Zong Ai was afraid of being killed by Tuoba Tao, so he killed Tai Tuoba Tao first, and Tuoba Tao died at the age of 45 and reigned for 29 years.

Tuoba Tao is the grandson of Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao and the eldest son of Emperor Jingmu Tuoba Huang. In March 452 AD, the eunuch Zong Ai killed Emperor Taiwu and established Tuoba Yu, the king of Nan'an, as the emperor. In October of the same year, Zong Ai killed Tuoba Yu and supported Tuoba Jun to ascend the throne for Emperor Wencheng. After Emperor Wencheng ascended the throne, he killed Zong Ai. During the Tuoba Dynasty, the internal struggle of the Northern Wei Dynasty was fierce, and countless ministers were executed by Tuoba Jun; On the other hand, the struggle for power and throne was continuous, and there were countless other large and small rebellions, and the Northern Wei Dynasty began to decline.

In 465 A.D., Tuoba Hong, who was only 26 years old, died of illness, and his eldest son Tuoba Hong ascended the throne as Emperor Wen. Emperor Xianwen had just turned twelve years old and respected Feng as the empress dowager. At that time, the power of the government was controlled in the hands of the general Yihun. Yi Hun has evil intentions and wants to be above the kings. Feng Shi was aware of Yi Hun's conspiracy, so he made a big plan, killed Yi Hun for the crime of treason, and then personally went to the court to listen to the government and control the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In 471 A.D., Tuoba Hongchan made the emperor his five-year-old son Tuoba Hong, who was raised by his grandmother, Empress Dowager Feng.

In June 476, when Tuoba Hong had just turned ten years old, the Emperor Tuoba Hong was poisoned by his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Feng, who was in the name of the Empress Dowager for the second time. Empress Dowager Feng was resourceful, able to do great things, reward and punish life and death, and had rich political experience and talents, and then carried out Sinicization reforms in social customs, politics, and economy. In 490 AD, Empress Dowager Feng died of illness, and the 24-year-old Tuoba Hong began to govern himself. Emperor Xiaowen inherited the will of the Empress Dowager and fully implemented sinicization.

In 499 A.D., Emperor Xiaowen fell seriously ill and died, and Yuan Ke became the emperor and was Emperor Xuanwu. During the mourning period of Emperor Xuanwu, the political authority was delegated to the left and right prime ministers. Emperor Xuanwu fell ill and died in 515 at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

After the death of Emperor Xuanwu, the second son Yuan Xu succeeded to the throne, and after Yuan Xu ascended the throne, his mother Hu began to abuse power and disorder, which directly led to the collapse of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In 528 AD, Yuan Xu was very dissatisfied with the Hu dictatorship, and issued a secret edict ordering Er Zhurong to lead troops to help. Unexpectedly, the secret edict was discovered, and Hu poisoned Yuan Xu at the age of nineteen.

Yuan Zhao is the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty Yuan Hong, after the death of Emperor Yuan Xu, Empress Dowager Hu first falsely called Emperor Xiaoming ** as the prince and supported him as the emperor. Unable to hide the woman's death, he set up only 3-year-old Yuan Zhao as the emperor, the world was shocked, and it was determined that the queen mother killed Emperor Xiaoming, and the warlord Er Zhurong led the army to fight. In May 528, Er Zhurong occupied Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, and Yuan Zhao and Empress Dowager Hu were captured. Er Zhurong sank the young lord Yuanzhao and Empress Dowager Hu into the Yellow River, and then Er Zhurong embraced the throne of Yuanziyou, the king of Changle, for Emperor Xiaozhuang. In 530 AD, Yuan Ziyou was unwilling to fall into the hands of the Erzhu clan next to the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he falsely claimed that the crown prince was born, summoned Erzhurong into the court, and killed Erzhurong.

In order to avenge the death of his uncle Er Zhurong, Zhu Zhao sent troops from Jinyang to attack Luoyang, and Yuan Ziyou was captured by Erzhu Zhao and went north and was killed in the third-level Buddhist temple in Jinyang. In October of the same year, Erzhu Shilong supported Yuan Ye as emperor and became a puppet emperor.

In February 531 AD, Erzhu Shilong forced Chan Rang and became the king of the East China Sea. Guangling King Yuangong ascended the throne as Emperor Jiemin.

In October 531, Gao Huan, a warlord who opposed the Erzhu clan, proclaimed Yuen Long, the king of Anding, as emperor. After defeating the Erzhu clan, he deposed Emperor Min and took sole power. In April 532 AD, Gao Huan deposed Yuen Long as the king of Anding in the name of Chan Rang, and supported Yuan Xiu, the king of Pingyang, as the emperor, as the emperor of Xiaowu.

In 534 AD, Yuan Xiu was dissatisfied with Gao Huan's dictatorship, moved the capital to Chang'an, defected to Yuwentai, and was killed by Prime Minister Yuwentai at the age of twenty-five. After that, Yuwentai persuaded Yuan Bao Torch to ascend the throne, which was for Emperor Xiaowu and the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty. The Western Wei Dynasty has always been controlled by Yuwentai. And Gao Huan set up an eleven-year-old Yuan Shanjian as the emperor, which was for Emperor Xiaojing. From then on, the Northern Wei Dynasty officially split into Eastern Wei and Western Wei.

After Gao Huan's death, the eldest son Gao Cheng was assassinated by a domestic slave soon after he took up the responsibility of the Wei Dynasty. The second son, Gao Yang, ascended the throne, and Gao Yang soon deposed the puppet emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaojing, and replaced the Eastern Wei to establish the Northern Qi in 550 AD. The Northern Qi Dynasty went through Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang, abolished Emperor Gao Yin, Emperor Xiaozhao Gao Yan, Emperor Wucheng Gao Zhan, Hou Lord Gao Wei, and Young Lord Gao Heng, a total of six emperors. In 577 AD, it was wiped out by the old enemy Northern Zhou and enjoyed the country for twenty-eight years.

In 556 AD, Yuwentai fell ill and died. The following year, with the support of his cousin Yuwenhu, Yuwentai's third son, Yuwenjue, was officially enthroned as the King of Heaven, with the country name Da Zhou, and the history of the Northern Zhou. Yuwen Jue said that the emperor wanted to govern in person, and launched a conflict with the prime minister Yuwen Hu, but was forced to abdicate by Yuwen Hu, was killed a month later, and was succeeded by Yu Wenyu. The following year, Yuwen Yu was poisoned by Yuwen Hu, and the seventeen-year-old Yuwen Yong was renamed emperor.

Yuwen Yong is the fourth son of Yuwen Tai, and after Yu Wenyong succeeded to the throne, he killed the powerful minister Yu Wenhu and got rid of the old customs. Rectify the rule of officials, so that the politics of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are clear, the people's lives are stable, and the country is strong. In 575 AD, Yuwen Yong launched a major attack on the Northern Qi and destroyed the Northern Qi a year and a half later. In 578 AD, Yuwen Yong led the army to attack the Turks in five ways, and died of illness before setting off, reigning for 18 years, only 36 years old.

Yuwen Yun was the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, who ascended the throne in 578 AD. After Yu Wenyun ascended the throne, he indulged in wine, tyranny and lewdness, overhauled the palace, and inflicted punishments indiscriminately. Killing Qi Wang Yu Wenxian led to the decline of the clan's power and the rise of the power of his relatives. In 579 A.D., Chan was located in the crown prince Yu Wenyan, who proclaimed himself Emperor Tianyuan and still controlled the imperial power. The selection of beauties enriches the harem, and the five queens in the palace indulge in wine and deterioration. In 580 A.D., he died of illness at the age of twenty-two. The following year, his father-in-law, Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty. The Northern Zhou perished.

During the entire summer vacation, Zhou Tianle and Ai studied, and You Da only contacted them once. The three agreed to bring their girlfriends together on the first day of school. After Zhou Tianle told Shu Xin, Shu Xin was a little reluctant, but she didn't say it explicitly, and she didn't want to wipe her lover's face, so she agreed.

Li Sisi didn't go to work for three days, she was used to being free, although she was very confident in her makeup skills, but in terms of being a person, especially getting along with others, she was very reluctant and not smooth, and she didn't want to give others a smile every day even though she was very uncomfortable.

One day after work, it was already three o'clock in the morning when Zhou Tianle returned to the dormitory, and Bao Hong, one of the three people in the dormitory, got off work with Zhou Tianle, and he said that he wanted to go out to eat something and then come back to sleep. Zhou Tianle said generously: Go, I'll please.

The two ate at a barbecue stall not far from KTV, Bao Hong was shorter than Zhou Tianle, but he looked very fine, loved to laugh and talk, and said a lot of meat words. Every day when he returned to the dormitory, he would say: Which woman has big breasts today, which woman has a big buttocks, which woman has a good figure and white skin, and said that when he entered the private room, he just saw the hot intimate scene of men and women. Zhou Tianle has also seen a lot in KTV, yelling, drunk, crying and wiping tears, men and women love, buying drunk alone, singing, listening to songs in a daze.

chatted a lot with Bao Hong, and Bao Hong said something about the past KTV. said to Zhou Tianle: "Our KTV has been seized before, and we have been reported for prostitution and drug abuse, don't look at our age, I have experienced a lot, and I came out to break into the rivers and lakes after graduating from junior high school." It's no wonder who or what happens. Now that KTV has changed its boss, it looks much more formal on the surface. ”

Zhou Tianle asked curiously: "On the surface?" And the back look? ”​

Bao Hong continued: "You have only been here for more than a month, I don't know more, in our KTV underground one or two floors, it is very different from the above, only senior employees can go to work below, and the salary is not known how many times higher than the above."

Zhou Tianle asked curiously: "Brother Hong, what's different below, brother is curious, let's talk about it."

Bao Hong waved his hand and said: "You are still half a month away, I know that you are a college student who came to work in the summer, and it is not good to know so much." I can only tell you that this is a society where money is supreme and entertainment is death, if you have money, you are an uncle, and if you don't have money, you are not even a grandson. It's not where we spend money."

Listening to Bao Hong's words, Zhou Tianle was even more curious about those places, and wanted to go once to see what was so special. Bao Hong saw Zhou Tianle's thoughts and said, "The other two people in our dormitory are working in the dungeon."
