Chapter 15 540s (440-449)

1. In spring, on the 20th day of the first lunar month, he fled to Dunhuang (Dunhuang City, Gansu Province). Juqu Wushu, the Governor of Shazhou appointed by the former Northern Liang Kingdom, counterattacked Jiuquan (Jiuquan City, Gansu Province), which had been captured by the Northern Wei Empire. .Gonggong Jie of Yiyang in the Northern Wei Dynasty looked down on the remnants of the subjugated state, so he went out of the city to have a conversation with Juqu. On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Juqu captured Yuan Jie alive and surrounded Jiuquan. 2. In February, Xing Ying, an intermediate cavalry servant (Tongzhi Changshi) of the Northern Wei Empire (capital Pingcheng), went to the Southern Song Empire (capital Jiankang) to apply for employment.

3. In March, Juqu Wuji conquered Jiuquan. 4. Summer, April 1st, solar eclipse. 5. On April 23, Juqu Wushi attacked Zhangye (Zhangye City, Gansu Province) under the occupation of the Northern Wei Empire.The bald-haired Baozhou who betrayed the Northern Wei Dynasty (refer to October last year) was stationed in Tunzendan (Shandan County, Gansu Province). On April 29th, Tuoba Tao (33 years old this year), Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty (the third emperor of Taiwu), sent Tuoba Jian, General of Fujun and King of Yongchang, to lead the army to crusade. 6. Liu Yikang, Prime Minister (Situ) of the Southern Song Empire (capital Jiankang), took over the power of the central government.However, Liu Yilong (34 years old), the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty (the third emperor of Wen Dynasty), has been ill for many years, and when he was a little tired, the disease would break out, and he faced death several times.Liu Yikang took care of him wholeheartedly. He would never let his elder brother take the medicine unless he had tasted it himself. Sometimes he would not sleep for several nights.Both inside and outside the palace are arbitrary.Temperament loves administrative work, reading official documents, and reviewing plans are very detailed.Therefore, Liu Yilong entrusted him with many things.All Liu Yikang's memorials, as long as they are sent to the palace, will be approved immediately.Officials below the governor level are fully authorized to be directly appointed by Liu Yikang.Regarding the major matters of pardon or execution, Liu Yikang ruled in the capacity of "in charge of government secrets" (recorded affairs).The power and influence moved far and near, and people in the ruling and opposition circles from all directions flattered and flattered him in every possible way.Every morning, hundreds of vehicles are often parked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.Liu Yikang personally received the visiting guests and never felt tired, and he had a strong memory. He would never forget what he heard or saw in his life.He loves to show off his memory and show off his intelligence in the public.Many talented intellectuals are valued and appointed to official positions.He once said to Liu Zhan, the director (leading general) of the Central Forbidden Army: "Wang Jinghong, Wang Qiu and his like, what ability do they have to sit there and enjoy the blessings? No matter how they think about it, they can't figure it out!" He is proud of not working, but he is famous all over the country and holds a high position.) However, Liu Yikang did not read too much and did not know the general idea. All talented officials in the government were recruited to the prime minister's office, which had no ability or Officials who offended him were exiled to other government agencies.He believes that brothers are close relatives of flesh and blood. To the emperor's elder brother Liu Yilong, he is not too constrained by the etiquette between monarchs and ministers. He does things frankly and frankly.More than 6,000 guards were set up privately, and they were never reported to the government.The tribute items from all over the country presented the best ones to Liu Yikang and the second-rate ones to Liu Yilong.One day in winter, Liu Yilong ate Guanggan and sighed that it was ugly and tasted bad. Liu Yikang said: "This year, there are some good Guanggan." Eat three inches larger in diameter.

Liu Zhan, director of the Central Forbidden Army (leading general) and Yin Jingren, executive director of the State Council (pu She), had a deep grudge (refer to March 435).Liu Zhan intends to use Liu Yikang's power to overthrow Yin Jingren.Liu Yikang was already powerful enough, and Liu Zhan poured more soup on him, and Liu Yikang became more and more inflated. Liu Yilong felt aggrieved that he could no longer maintain the minimum etiquette as a subject to the emperor's elder brother Liu Yilong.When Liu Zhangang was transferred from Jingzhou (the state government was located in Jiangling) to the central government (refer to June in 431), Liu Yilong treated him very generously.Liu Zhan talks clearly and logically about how to govern the country; he is more familiar with the laws and regulations of the previous generation, and his narration and analysis can make the listeners forget their fatigue.Every time Liu Zhan entered Yunlongmen (the east gate of the palace city), the coachman untied his horse, and the left and right attendants and guards of honor scattered away; because they knew that the master would not come out until dusk when he had a meeting with the emperor. , as usual.However, later, Liu Zhan incited Liu Yikang to commit crimes. Although Liu Yilong was alienated in his heart, his superficial courtesy was still the same as before. When talking to him, I often check the time for fear that he will leave. Recently, I also often check the time for fear that he will not leave." (Liu Zhan, nicknamed Banhu.)

Yin Jingren secretly told Liu Yilong: "The power of the Prime Minister (Prime Minister and Prince Liu Yikang) is too great, and it is not a blessing for the country. It is best to suppress it a little bit." Liu Yilong agreed in his heart. The Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Office Zuo (Situ Zuo Changshi) Liu Bin is the same clan of Liu Zhan; ; refer to March 404); and Liu Jingwen, chief secretary (master book), and Kong Yinxiu, director of the office (sacrificing wine), from Lu County (Qufu City, Shandong Province); all were deeply favored by Liu Yikang because of their insidiousness and flattery. Favor.Seeing that the emperor Liu Yilong was weak and sick, they all agreed: "Once the emperor dies, he should support someone who is older to be the king." Liu Yilong was once critically ill, so he ordered Liu Yikang to be the Minister of Tuogu and ordered him to return to the government immediately.Liu Yikang burst into tears and told Liu Zhan and Yin Jingren.Liu Zhan said: "Things in the world are extremely difficult, how can the young supervisor succeed!" Liu Yikang and Yin Jingren did not answer.However, Kong Yinxiu and others went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the State Council (Shangshu) to meet with the Etiquette Department (Yicao) and asked for a copy of Sima Yan, the ninth emperor of the Jin Empire (Chengdi) died in 342 and his younger brother Sima Yue, the tenth emperor (Kangdi), was established. Statutes and regulations.But Liu Yikang didn't know anything about these behaviors.After Liu Yilong recovered from his illness, he heard some news.The conspiracy of Liu Bin and others was to make the throne of the emperor belong to Liu Yikang in the end; so they formed a party and formed a faction to closely monitor the movement of the court. If someone refused to agree with them, they must do everything possible to frame them.They also collected information about Yin Jingren, and even fabricated information to tell Liu Zhan.From then on, the relationship between the emperor and the prime minister broke.

Liu Yikang planned to use Liu Bin as the mayor of Jiankang (Danyang Yin) in the capital. He first reported to Liu Yilong that Liu Bin's family was poor. County (Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province) County Chief Yang Xuanbao asked to be transferred back to the capital, and Liu Yikang wanted to teach Liu Bin to take over. He reported to Liu Yilong: "After Yang Xuanbao left, I don't know who to use?" , replied: "I have used Wang Hong!" Since the autumn of last year (439), Liu Yilong no longer went to Dongfu (the prime minister's mansion·Jiankang city south). On May 6, Liu Zhan's mother passed away, and Liu Zhan resigned and went home to observe the funeral.He also knew that his evil deeds had been exposed, and it was impossible to save his life. He said to those close to him: "This year must fail! In the past, it was just talking and delaying. Now things have come to an end, and there is no other hope. Disaster It’s coming, and we won’t have to wait too long.” (Liu Zhan’s only hope is that Liu Yilong dies and Liu Yikang sits on the throne. Now that Liu Yilong has recovered, with Liu Zhan’s intelligence, he will think of the reward of injustice.)

7. On May 18th, Juqu Wuji, governor of Shazhou (state government Dunhuang) of the Kingdom of Northern Liang, once again besieged Zhangye, but could not conquer it, so he retreated to Linsong (south of Zhangye city). Tuoba Tao, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, no longer sent troops to crusade, but only issued an imperial edict, ordering Juqu to surrender without hesitation. 8. On June 21st, Tuoba Jun, the grandson of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was born, amnesty, and changed his year name to Taiping Zhenjun (before it was the sixth year of Dayan, and then it was the first year of Taiping Zhenjun).Because Taoist Kou Qianzhi presented a mysterious prophecy book ("Tulu Zhenjing"), there is a sentence: "Assist the Northern Taiping Zhenjun", so it was used (Kou Qian's matter, refer to December 423).

9. Liu Shao (17 years old), the crown prince of the Southern Song Dynasty, went to Jingkou (Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province) to pay homage to Jingling (the impromptu Ningling Mausoleum, where the father, mother, and stepmother of the first emperor Liu Yu were buried. Southeast of Dongdantu Town, Zhenjiang City); Prime Minister (Situ) Liu Yikang, King Jingling Liu Dan and others all followed.Liu Yigong, the governor of Nanyanzhou (the state government is located in Guangling) and the king of Jiangxia, came to join him from Jiangdu (south of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province). 10. In autumn, on July 3rd, Tuobajian, king of Yongchang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, captured Fanhe (Yongchang County, Gansu Province) guarded by Bald Baozhou.

11. On July 10, Ms. Dou, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty (Tuoba Tao's nurse) passed away. 12. On July 26, Yuan Qigui, Empress of the Southern Song Dynasty (mother of Prince Liu Shao), passed away (at the age of 36). 13. On July 27, Bald Baozhou (who was stationed in Shandan at the time) was desperate and committed suicide (bald Baozhou betrayed the Northern Wei Dynasty, refer to October last year). On August 29, Juqu Wuji sent Liang Wei, the commander (lieutenant) of the garrison area of ​​Jiuquan, the capital, to meet Tuobajian, King Yongchang of the Northern Wei Empire, and asked for the surrender of Jiuquan City and the captured Northern Wei general Yuan Jie.

Tuoba Tao, emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, ordered his family members to guard Liangzhou (the state government set up Guzang). 14. On September 27th, the Southern Song Empire buried the empress (Queen Yuan) Yuan Qigui. 15. The imperial government of the Southern Song Dynasty launched the second bloody purge (the first bloody purge, killing Xu Xianzhi and Xie Huishi; refer to the first month of 426). Emperor Liu Yilong of the Southern Song Dynasty believed that the Prime Minister (Situ) and Pengcheng King Liu Yikang hated him very clearly, and he was bound to cause disaster. In winter, on October 3rd (the original text "Wushen" was changed according to "Song Shu·Wen Di Ji"), Liu Yikang was ordered to enter the palace and immediately placed under house arrest in the Legislative Yuan (Zhongshu Province); Lead the army to prepare for war under martial law in the Jinluan Palace to prevent extraordinary incidents.In the evening, Liu Zhan and others were arrested separately and handed over to the Supreme Court (Ting Wei). Immediately issued an imperial edict announcing Liu Zhan's guilt, he was executed in prison (at the age of forty-nine), and Liu Zhan's three sons were killed: Eight people including Liu An, Liu Liang, Liu Yan, and party members Liu Bin, Liu Jingwen, and Kong Yinxiu; five people including He Mozi, director of the Military Supplies Department of the Ministry of Justice of the State Council (Shangshukubulang), were demoted to Guangzhou Panyu).amnesty.They sent someone to explain Liu Zhan and other crimes to Liu Yikang, and Liu Yikang went to the Shu and asked for his resignation.Liu Yilong issued an edict to appoint Liu Yikang as the governor of Jiangzhou (Jiangxi Province and Fujian Province); he still maintained the old official titles of senior consultant (servant) and supreme commander (general) and left Beijing to guard Yuzhang (Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. Jiangzhou The state government moved here from Xunyangnan).

At first, Yin Jingren, the executive director of the State Council (Shangshu Pushe), was sick and bedridden for five years (refer to April 435). Although he never met Liu Yilong, there were dozens of secret letters and letters every day. Liu Yilong consulted Yin Jingren on major and minor matters of the central government, and his whereabouts were very secretive, and no one noticed anything unusual.On the day of Liu Zhan's arrest, Yin Jingren ordered his family to prepare the cap and clothes, but the people around him didn't know what it meant.That night, Liu Yilong went to Yanxian Hall in Hualin Garden and summoned Yin Jingren.Yin Jingren still claimed to suffer from foot problems, and was carried into the palace with a small chair.Liu Yilong handed over all arrests, executions and other punishments to Yin Jingren.

At first, the Supreme Inspector (Sikong) Tan Daoji recommended Shen Qingzhi from Wuxing County (Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province) to be loyal and prudent, as well as have military talents. Southern Song Emperor Liu Yilong ordered him to lead an army to guard the east gate of the imperial city.Liu Zhan, director (leading general) of the Central Forbidden Army, once said to him: "You have been in this position for a long time, and you should consider this issue recently." Shen Qingzhi's face was serious, and he replied: "I have served in the court for ten years. I should be transferred, and I dare not bother you any more.” On the night of Liu Zhan’s arrest, Liu Yilong first opened the palace gate to summon Shen Qingzhi, who was fully armed and entered with his trousers tightly tied (when fully armed, he must “tighten his trousers tightly” to facilitate fighting).Liu Yilong said: "Why do you think of such attire?" Shen Qingzhi said: "In the middle of the night, I summoned the commander (team leader) of the Imperial Guard. There must be something urgent, so I can't take off my clothes and sleeves." Liu Yilong ordered him to arrest Liu Bin and behead him. Xiaoqi General Xu Zhanzhi, the son of Xu Kuizhi (Xu Kuizhi was Liu Yu's son-in-law, died in battle, refer to February 415), had a very close relationship with Liu Yikang, and Liu Yilong was secretly angry.After the purge began, Xu Zhanzhi was also arrested and beheaded for the crime.His mother is Liu Xingdi, the princess of Kuaiji. Among the brothers and sisters, he was born to his aunt (Liu Yu's original spouse, Zang Aiqin), and he is the oldest.When Liu Yu, the first emperor (Emperor Wu), was poor and humble, he went to Xinzhou (a small island in the north of the Yangtze River in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province) to chop and cut grass. The patched cloth shirts and cotton jackets he wore were all sewed by Zang Ai himself.Later, enjoying wealth and splendor, Zang Aiqin gave it to his daughter Liu Xingdi and said: "For future generations, if someone is proud and extravagant, show them these clothes." Weeping loudly, instead of kneeling down to worship the courtesies and concubines, they threw the tattered cloth shirts and cotton-padded jackets wrapped in satin bags in front of him, crying and saying: "Your family was poor and humble, this is what my mother gave you." The clothes your father made, you only have enough to eat for a day, and you are going to kill my son!" Liu Yilong pardoned Xu Zhanzhi from death. Wang Qiu, Minister of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials), is Wang Lu's uncle. He lives a simple life and has a calm temperament. He enjoys a good reputation and is deeply respected by Liu Yilong.However, Wang Lu pursued fame and fortune, and tried every means to make friends with Liu Yikang and Liu Zhan.Wang Qiu often advised him, but he refused to listen.On the night of the purge, Wang Lu escaped from his home and went to Wang Qiu with bare feet.Wang Qiu ordered the servants on the left and right to wear shoes for Wang Lu first, served warm wine to calm the shock, and said to him, "How about what I usually tell you!" Wang Lu was terrified and could not answer.Wang Qiu said slowly: "Uncle is here, don't worry!" Because Liu Yilong loved Wang Qiu, he also specially pardoned Wang Lu from death, only deprived of political rights, and could no longer come out to be an official. When Liu Yikang was in power, people rushed to get close to him.Only Jiang Zhan, the chief secretary of the prime minister's office (master secretary of Situ), estranged himself from Liu Yikang very early on, and asked to be the governor (internal history) of Wuling County (Changde City, Hunan Province).The Supreme Inspector (Sikong) Tan Daoji once asked Jiang Zhan to marry him for his son, but Jiang Zhan resolutely refused.Tan Daoji asked Liu Yikang to come forward, but Jiang Zhan's refusal was even firmer.Therefore, Jiang Zhan was not implicated in the catastrophe of Liu Yikang and Tan Daoji.Liu Yilong got the news and praised him.Jiang Zhan is the son of Jiang Yi (Jiang Yi incident, refer to April 429). Pengcheng King Liu Yikang was placed under house arrest in the Legislative Yuan (Zhongshu Sheng) for more than ten days.Finally, after seeing my elder brother Emperor Liu Yilong bid farewell, I went directly to the pier.When Liu Yilong saw him, he wept bitterly without saying a word.Liu Yilong sent Hui Lin, a Buddhist monk, to visit Liu Yikang. Liu Yikang asked, "Is there any hope for the disciple (the Buddhist believer) to return to the capital?" Hui Lin said, "I hate you for not reading hundreds of books!" In the beginning, Xie Shu, the governor of Wuxing County, was Xie Yu's younger brother (Xie Shu, refer to the leap in June of 431), who had been assisting Liu Yikang and often advised Liu Yikang, but died very early.Liu Yikang will leave the capital and go south to take up his post in Yuzhang County. He sighed and said: "In the past, Xie Shu blindly persuaded me to give in, but Liu Zhan blindly persuaded me to fight for it. Liu Zhan is alive, but Xie Shu is dead. I should not have failed. !" Liu Yilong said: "If Xie Shu was still alive, Yikang would definitely not have reached this point." Liu Yilong appointed Xiao Bin, the military and political officer of General Zhenglu's Mansion (Zhenglu Sima), as Liu Yikang's chief military counselor (consultant to join the army) and the governor of Yuzhang County. Xiao Bin had full authority to handle all matters, no matter how big or small.Xiao Bin is the son of Xiao Mozhi (Xiao Mozhi, refer to November 435).He also ordered General Longxiang Xiao Chengzhi to lead the army to garrison and guard.Liu Yikang used to have subordinates around him, and those who were willing to follow were all allowed to go to Yuzhang together.Liu Yilong gave his brother a lot of things, and there were a lot of letters, telling Liu Yikang about major government events. After a while, Liu Yilong went to the banquet at the house of his elder sister, Princess Kuaiji, Liu Xingdi, and was very happy. Liu Xingdi left the seat and kowtowed to Liu Yilong, feeling infinitely sad.Liu Yilong didn't understand what it meant, so he helped her up himself. Brother Liu Xing said: "When Che (Liu Yikang's nickname) is in his later years, His Majesty must not tolerate him. I beg you to spare his life." Pointing to Jiang Shan, he said: "Don't worry, if I violate today's oath, I will fail Chuning Mausoleum (the cemetery of the first emperor Liu Yu is called Chuning Mausoleum, which is located in the southeast of Jiangshan Mountain)!" Then he sealed up the wine he was drinking, Send it to Liu Yikang, who is thousands of miles away, with a letter saying: "I have a banquet with Sister Kuaiji (Liu Xingdi), think of my brother, and send the rest of the wine!" Therefore, Liu Yikang's life is safe when Liu Xingdi is alive. . Sima Guang said: Liu Yilong's brotherly love for Liu Yikang was not insignificant at the beginning.But the brothers finally broke up and lost peace, which caused the loss of righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. They went after Yuangang who caused the chaos, but it was only because Liu Zhan was greedy for profit and greedy.Said: "Greedy people harm their own people." (Greedy people and scum) Doesn't it mean this. Bo Yang said: Liu Zhan is a typical figure in officialdom: typical ungrateful, typical flatterer, typical bloodthirsty shark.In form, he is loyal to Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, and even actively designs Liu Yikang to be on the throne. In fact, it is a kind of wolfish loyalty. Smashing north, avenging himself, eradicating potential enemies on the way forward.There is nothing wrong in the world, and it is the catastrophe caused by fools who think they are smart. The more people like Liu Zhan, the more chaotic society will be.As a leader, it should be the first priority to distinguish who is Liu Zhan among the cadres.If he couldn't see or recognize clearly, he would have to pay the price Liu Yikang paid, failure, or even death. 16. The Southern Song Dynasty recruited Liu Yigong, the governor of Nanyanzhou and the king of Jiangxia, to be the prime minister, in charge of government secrets. On October 23, Liu Yiqing, king of Linchuan, was appointed governor of South Yanzhou.Yin Jingren was the commander of the Gyeonggi garrison (the governor of Yangzhou), and the original executive positions of the State Council (Pu She), Minister of Civil Affairs (the Minister of the Ministry of Officials) and other official positions are still maintained. Liu Yigong accepted the lesson of his elder brother Liu Yikang's failure, so although he was "in charge of government secrets", he did not dare to intervene in political affairs, but only signed the paperwork, so Liu Yilong was relieved of him. Liu Yilong allocates 20 million yuan to the prime minister's office every year, and other items are similar to this.But Liu Yigong's extravagant temperament is still not enough; Liu Yilong also gives him another 10 million yuan every year. 17. On November 2, Tuoba Tao, Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, went to Shanbei (north of Xiwu Zhoushan Mountain, Datong City, Shanxi Province). 18. Yin Jingren, the commander of the Gyeonggi garrison of the Southern Song Dynasty (the governor of Yangzhou), became seriously ill after he took office.Emperor Liu Yilong of the Southern Song Dynasty ordered that vehicles and horses be prohibited from passing on the Xizhou (west of the capital Jiankang) road to avoid making noise (the Gyeonggi General Garrison Headquarters is located in the west of Jiankang Palace City, so it is called Xizhou). On October 29, Yin Jingren passed away (at the age of 51). On December 9th, Emperor Liu Yijiang appointed Wang Qiu, the highest senior official (doctor Guanglu), as the executive director of the State Council (Pushe). On December 14, Liu Jun, king of Shixing, was appointed as the commander of the general garrison of Gyeonggi.Just because Liu Jun is still young (twelve years old this year), the affairs of the headquarters are fully entrusted to the Secretary-General of the General's Mansion of the Rear Army (the history of the Rear Army Commander) Fan Ye (sound ye), and the Chief Secretary (Chief Book) Shen Pu .Fan Ye is the son of Fan Tai (Fan Tai, refer to the first month of 424).Shen Pu is the son of Shen Linzi (Shen Linzi, refer to May 410). Fan Ye was soon promoted to the commander of the garrison in the eastern district of the capital (General Zuowei); In short, he was also promoted to the garrison commander of the capital's western district (General Right Guard), and jointly controlled the Royal Guards of the capital.He also appointed Yu Bingzhi as the Director of the Examination and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Libulang), and at the same time participated in the central secret decision-making.Shen Yanzhi is the great-grandson of Shen Jin (Shen Jin died in Luoyang, refer to March 365). Fan Ye is very talented, but his behavior is not very proper, and he often offends the "famous teaching" at that time - the Confucian school attaches great importance to status, status, social ethics and norms, which are despised by intellectuals; Playing, often depressed, so even less powerful.He Shangzhi, Minister of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials), reported to Liu Yilong: "Fan Ye's ambitions and interests are different from ordinary people. It is best to send him out to be the governor of Guangzhou. If he stays in the central government and causes a catastrophe, he must be punished. It’s not a good thing for the empire to continue killing people.” Liu Yilong said: “You just killed Liu Zhan, if you drive Fan Ye out of the capital, others will think that you can’t tolerate talents, and they will also think that I listen to sowing dissension. As long as everyone knows With Fan Ye's flaws, he can't create disasters." This year, Wang Huilong, General Ningnan of the Northern Wei Empire, passed away (at the age of fifty).Lu Xuanbo stayed in his cemetery and refused to leave for life (Lu Xuanbo was an assassin, refer to February 431). 20. Tuoba Tao, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, intends to appoint Yi Yu as the executive officer of the State Council (shangshu) and a county-level duke (to reward him for his contribution to the conquest of the Northern Liang Kingdom, refer to March last year).Yi Yu resigned and said: "The executive officer of the State Council (shangshu) has a heavy workload, and the duke's position is lofty, which is not what a young and foolish subject like me deserves." Tuoba Tao asked him what he thought?Yiba said: "In the Legislative Yuan (Zhongshu Province) and the Royal Library (Secretary Province), most of the officials are senior intellectuals. If you still receive rewards, please allow me to join them." Tuoba Tao praised him very much and appointed him He served as the Central Military Director (General of the Central Guard Army) and the Royal Librarian (Secretary Superintendent). Yang Nandang, the "King of Di" (capital Qiuchi) who claimed to be the King of Great Qin, resumed the title of King of Wudu (known as King of Great Qin, refer to March 436). 1. In spring, on the 20th day of the first lunar month, the Northern Wei Empire (capital Pingcheng) appointed Juqu Wuyu (who was stationed in Jiuquan at the time) to be the general of the west, the full-power governor (shepherd) of Liangzhou, and the king of Jiuquan. 2. Liu Yikang, king of Pengcheng in the Southern Song Empire (capital Jiankang), arrived in Yuzhang (Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province) and resigned as the governor (inspector) of Jiangzhou (Yuzhang, the state government). On the 21st day of the first lunar month, Liu Yilong (35 years old this year), Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty (the third emperor of Wen Dynasty), appointed Liu Yikang as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangjiaoguang Military Region (the governor of Jiangjiaoguang and the three prefectures of the military). Fu Lingyu (Fu, surname), a former military counselor of General Longxiang's mansion (Longxiang joined the army), and a native of Badong County (east of Fengjie County, Chongqing City), presented a memorial in front of the palace gate, saying: "Once upon a time, Yuan Ang warned Liu Heng (the fifth Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty) said: "If Liu Chang died on the road, His Majesty will bear the notoriety of killing his younger brother." Liu Heng couldn't accept it, and it was too late to regret (refer to 174 years ago). Liu Yikang, king of Pengcheng, is the dearest son of the first emperor (the first emperor Liu Yu) and the second younger brother of His Majesty. If you make mistakes because of being lost, you should take this opportunity to make him distinguish between good and evil, and guide him on the path of justice. Why? Believe in suspicious crimes, once deposed, they will be relegated to the southern frontier! The people in the wilderness are all sorry for His Majesty. The history of Luling King (Liu Yizhen) being moved and killed (refer to the first month of 424) is enough to generate vigilance. I am deeply afraid of Liu Yikang I am poor, my life is over, and I died in the south. Although I am lowly and humble, I am secretly ashamed of Your Majesty. Your Majesty only knows that bad branches and leaves should be cut off, but you don’t know that cutting off branches and leaves will hurt the trunk! I hope Your Majesty will treat Liu Yikang Recall the capital (the capital of Jiankang), brotherly love, harmony between the monarch and ministers, the resentment of the world can be relieved, and the slanderous words can be wiped out. It is not necessary to use him as the prime minister (Situ) and the commander of the capital garrison (Yangzhou Mu). Let him be settled. If you think that what I said is harmful to the empire, I am willing to accept heavy punishment and make atonement to Your Majesty." After the memorial was submitted, Liu Yilong ordered Fu Lingyu to be arrested and handed over to Jiankang Prison to force him to commit suicide. Pei Ziye said: When people in superior positions do good deeds, it is like dark clouds gathering and raining down, and all things in the universe are blessed.When people in positions of authority do evil things, it is as if the heavens are collapsing, the earth is shaking, and everything in the universe is panicking and terrified.Who doesn't know this phenomenon?Who can't see it?Could it be that killing a person's body and clamping a person's tongue can escape and destroy it?This is all because of being unable to bear one's own anger and anger, which makes the crime more serious.With Liu Yilong's magnanimity, and he used blood to cover up his killing of Liu Yikang, from now on, who would dare to say a word?Since the founding of the Southern Song Empire, honest voices have rarely been heard. How can he be a man of bones, not as good as the ancients?Or was it the political and criminal laws at the time that caused that situation?Zhang Yuezhi died at the hands of officials in power (refer to the first month of 424), and Fu Lingyu was executed by the wise king.The murder of the Southern Song Empire, hey, awesome. 3. Tuoba Jun, the emerging king of the Northern Wei Dynasty (Tuoba Jun, the second emperor of the Ming and Yuan Dynasties), committed adultery and violated the law.On March 28, he was reduced to duke.Tuoba Jun's mother was killed for offending the Northern Wei Emperor (the third Taiwu Emperor) Tuoba Tao.Tuoba Jun accumulated resentment, conspired to betray, and the matter was discovered.Tuoba Tao (34 years old this year) ordered Tuoba Jun to commit suicide. 4. On March 29th, the Northern Wei Dynasty granted Yu Jiulu Qilie to be the king of Shuofang, and made Juqu Wannian the king of Zhangye (Yu Jiulu Qilie was captured in September of the previous year; Juqu Wannian was surrendered in September of last year) , causing Guzang to fall, and the Northern Liang Kingdom to perish). 5. In summer, in April, Juqu Tanger, the governor of Dunhuang County (Dunhuang City, Gansu Province) (refer to September of the previous year), rebelled against Juqu Wuji, who was named King of Jiuquan by the Northern Wei Dynasty.Juqu Wuyu ordered his cousin Juqu Tianzhou to stay in Jiuquan, and he and his younger brother Juqu Yide led an army to attack Juqu Tang'er. Juqu Tang'er was defeated and died. The government of the Northern Wei Dynasty believed that Juqu Wushi was a disaster on the frontier after all. On April 28, General Xi Juan of Zhennan was sent to surround Jiuquan. 6. In autumn, on August 1st, the Northern Wei Empire sent Zhang Wei, a Sanqi advisor (Sanqi servant) to the Southern Song Empire to apply for employment. 7. On September 19th, Tuobajian, king of Yongchang in the Northern Wei Dynasty (heir of Tuoba, the second Ming and Yuan emperor), passed away. 8. In winter, on November 10, Wang Qiu, executive director of the State Council of the Southern Song Dynasty (Pu She), passed away (at the age of forty-nine). On November 21, Meng Wei, the mayor of the capital Jiankang (Danyang Yin), was appointed as the executive director of the State Council (Shangshu Pushe). 9. When the food in Jiuquan City ran out, more than 10,000 people died of starvation. Juqu Tianzhou, the guard, killed his wife, cut up his wife's body, and distributed it to the soldiers to eat. On November 22, Xi Juan, commander in chief of the besieging army of the Northern Wei Dynasty and general of Zhennan, captured Jiuquan, captured Juqu Tianzhou alive, sent him to Pingcheng, and beheaded him.Juqu Wuji (who was in Dunhuang at the time) lacked food and was afraid of the military power of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was going to cross the quicksand and go to the Western Regions (Xinjiang and eastern Central Asia); he first sent his younger brother Juqu Anzhou to attack the Shanshan Kingdom (capital Shuni) westward. At that time, the king of Shanshan was going to surrender. It happened that the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty came and advised him to resist and stick to it. Juqu Anzhou could not be conquered, so he surrendered Dongcheng (the east city of the Shanshan Kingdom Ruoqiang County East). 10. "King Di" (capital Qiuchi) Yang Nandang mobilized all possible troops, poured out the country, and launched an attack on the Southern Song Empire, intending to occupy the land of Shu (central part of Sichuan Province).He sent his Jianzhong general Fu Chong to send troops from Dongluo (northeast of Qingchuan County, Sichuan Province) to resist the troops of Liangzhou (the state government was established in Nanzheng) of the Southern Song Dynasty.Liu Zhendao, governor of Liang and Qin states in the Southern Song Dynasty, met him and beheaded Fu Chong.Liu Zhendao was Liu Huaijing's son (Liu Huaijing's mother fed Liu Yu, refer to December 399).Yang Nandang captured Jiameng (southwest of Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province), and captured Shen Tan, the governor of Jinshou County (Jiameng County Government), alive, and besieged Fucheng (Mianyang City, Sichuan Province).Liu Daoxi, the governor of the two counties of Brazil and Zitong (the county governments are both located in Fucheng), defended the city firmly. Yang Nandang attacked the city for more than ten days, but was unable to conquer it, so he had to retreat.Liu Daoxi is the younger brother of Liu Daochan (Liu Daochan was governor of Yongzhou at the time). On December 15th, Emperor Liu Yilong of the Southern Song Dynasty issued an edict ordering General Longxiang Pei Fangming to lead 3,000 armed forces; , are under the command of Liu Zhendao. 11. Cuan Songzi, the governor of Jinning County (Jinning County, Yunnan Province) of the Southern Song Dynasty, rebelled.Xu Xun, governor of Ningzhou (a county established by the state government), crusaded against Pingding. The barbarian chief Tian Xiangqiu of Tianmen County (Shimen County, Hunan Province) rebelled and captured Luzhong (west of Cili County, Hunan Province).The governor of Jingzhou and the king of Hengyang, Liu Yiji, sent Cao Sunnian, the deputy military councilor (joining the army), to attack Pingding. Bo Yang said: Cuan Songzi and Tian Xiangqiu are wronged and difficult to sue for rebellion?Or an ambitious rebel?Or do a lot of evil, can't close the stall, and take risks?Traditional history books do not explain this, but only call "rebellion" as "rebellion".We readers should think twice. 12. Kou Qianzhi, a Taoist priest of the Northern Wei Dynasty, told Tuoba Tao, Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty: "Your Majesty rules the world in the form of a 'true monarch' (a god in Taoism), and establishes the Dafa of 'Jinglun Tiangong' (Taoist terminology); since the creation of heaven and earth, , There has never been such a grand occasion. It should be accepted on the stage to accept the 'Fulu' (Book of Heaven) to praise the kindness of the sage." Tuoba Tao agreed. 1. In spring, on the 7th day of the first lunar month, Tuoba Tao (35 years old this year), the emperor of the Northern Wei Empire (Pingcheng, the capital), took a Fajia (royal ceremonial guard, refer to the leap September of 180 years ago), Climb to the Taoist altar and receive "fulu" (scriptures from heaven); the national flags are all in blue.Since then, when the new emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty ascended the throne, they all accepted the "fulu" and became a tradition ("fulu", also known as "falu". Just like Christians must be baptized, Taoist priests must receive "lu". Initially, it was accepted by "Five Thousand "Wenlu", then "Sandonglu", then "Dongxuanlu", and finally "Shangqinglu". "Lu" is a dead word in classical Chinese. It is called "fu" in modern language, and it is a magic paper used in Taoism. It is called "Fu", such as "Desire Talisman". The "Fu" is made of white paper, and the words on it are flying and dancing, which is difficult to recognize, let alone understand).Kou Qianzhi also asked to build the Jinglun Palace. The palace should be built so high that the chickens and dogs can't be heard in the world, so as to get close to the gods in the upper world. The prime minister (Situ) Cui Hao also persuaded Tuoba Tao to build it.Therefore, both manpower and money are calculated in tens of thousands, and the amount of manpower invested will not be completed after many years. Prince Tuobahuang dissuaded him and said: "Heaven and the world have different paths, and there is a major difference between the humble and the noble. It is a matter of course that the two cannot be combined. Now, to waste the treasury and make the people tired and poor, to do this What is the use of what is not beneficial? If you can’t achieve your goal unless you use Kou Qianzhi’s method, please take advantage of the height of Dongshan (the mountain east of the city), the project is easier.” Tuoba Tao refused. 2. In summer, in April, Juqu, who was guarding Dunhuang (Dunhuang City, Gansu Province), abandoned the city and led more than 10,000 families to the Western Regions (Xinjiang and eastern Central Asia) to join forces with Juqu Anzhou (refer to last October ).Before arriving, King Bilong of Shanshan was terrified and abandoned the capital, Jini (Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang), and led all the people to defect to Qiemo (Qiemo County, Xinjiang).The prince surrendered to Juqu Anzhou.Juqu Wuji then occupied the Shanshan Kingdom, and half of his soldiers died of thirst when they crossed the quicksand. Li Bao (refer to April 423), who fled to Yiwu (Hami City, Xinjiang), led a thousand people from Yiwu, went east to occupy Dunhuang, built a city wall and government office, and appease and gather the remnants of the Xiliang Kingdom. When the Northern Liang Kingdom fell (refer to September 439), Kan Shuang, a native of Liangzhou (central and western Gansu Province), guarded Gaochang County (east of Turpan City, Xinjiang) and claimed to be the county governor. Tang Qi, who still stayed in Yiwu and was named the king of Yiwu by the Rouran Khanate (Hanhai Desert Group) (and defected to Yiwu with Li Bao), was oppressed by the Rouran Khanate and could not gain a foothold. He led his troops westward and planned to Take Gaochang.The Rouran Khanate sent general A Ruo to pursue; Tang Qi was defeated and killed.Tang Qi's younger brother Tang He gathers the remnants of his troops and joins Yiluo, king of Cheshi's former kingdom (capital Jiaohe City).At this time, Tang He captured Hengjue City, which was stationed in Juqu Anzhou, and also captured Gaoning and Bairen (the Gaochang Kingdom has a total of forty-six cities: Jiaohe, Tiandi, Gaoning, Bairen, etc.; Hengjue is one of them) .Send envoys to the Northern Wei Empire to ask Qing to surrender. 3. On April 28th, Liu Yilong (36 years old), the emperor of the Southern Song Empire (the capital of Jiankang) (the third emperor of Wen Dynasty), recovered from a long illness and received amnesty. In April and May, the commander of the Southern Song Empire's dispatched army to attack the "King Di" (capital Qiuchi), General Longxiang Pei Fangming and others led the army to Hanzhong (Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province), and Liangzhou (the state government is located in Nanzheng) Governor (Inspector) Liu Zhendao and others attacked Wuxing (Omit Yang County, Shaanxi Province), Xiabian (Cheng County, Gansu Province), and Baishui (Dongshazhou Township, Qingchuan County, Sichuan Province) respectively, and conquered them all. "King Di" Yang Nandang sent General Jianjie Fu Hongzu to guard Langao (Kang County, Gansu Province), and sent his son Fujun General Yang He to lead the main force as his successor.Pei Fangming fought with Fu Hongzu in Zhuoshui (west of Chengxian County, Gansu Province), defeated the Di army, and beheaded Fu Hongzu.Yang He retreated, and Pei Fangming pursued them until they reached Chiting (east of Longxi County, Gansu Province), where they defeated Di's army.杨难当投奔上邽（上封·甘肃省天水市，时属北魏），裴方明生擒杨难当的侄儿、建节将军杨保炽。之前，杨难当派儿子杨虎当益州州长，镇守阴平（甘肃省文县）。得到老爹杨难当逃走消息，率军后退，退到下辨，裴方明派儿子裴肃之拦腰攻击，生擒杨虎，送到航空距离一千二百千米外的建康，斩首，对仇池完全征服（无论是国家或个人，横挑强邻，都等于给自己制造灾难，只有忘了自己是谁的人物，才贸然以赴）。 南宋政府任命辅国将军府军政官（辅国司马）胡崇之当北秦州州长，镇守仇池。再命杨保炽继承杨玄王位，驻防仇池（杨难当罢黜杨保宗，参考四二九年七月）。北魏帝国派中山王拓跋辰把杨难当迎接到首都平城。 秋季，七月，南宋政府任命刘真道当雍州（州政府设襄阳）州长，裴方明当梁、南秦二州（州政府南郑）州长；裴方明辞让，不肯就职。 七月二十二日，北魏帝拓跋焘对南宋帝国占领仇池，反应强烈。派安西将军古弼（此时姓吐奚）率陇右（甘肃省陇山以西）各路兵马及宫廷虎贲禁卫军，会同武都王杨保宗（秦州州长，参考四三九年三月），自祁山（甘肃省礼县东北）南下；征西将军、渔阳郡（北京市密云县）人皮豹子跟琅邪王司马楚之率关中（陕西省中部）各路兵马，穿过散关（陕西省宝鸡市西南）西上；各军在仇池会师。又命谯王司马文思指挥洛州（州政府设洛阳）、豫州（州政府设虎牢）各军，南下攻击襄阳。征南将军刁雍在东方攻击广陵（江苏省扬州市），文告传布到徐州（古徐州·江苏省北部），声称替杨难当报仇。 5、七月三十日，日食。 6、唐契攻击阚爽占据的高昌时，阚爽派使节到沮渠无讳处，诈称投降，打算共同抵御唐契。 八月，沮渠无讳率军北上援救高昌，快要到时，唐契已经阵亡，阚爽紧闭城门，拒绝沮渠无讳。 九月，沮渠无讳部将卫兴奴向高昌发动夜袭，攻克，屠城；阚爽投奔柔然汗国，沮渠无讳遂进驻高昌。派他的侍从官（常侍）氾隽携带奏章，前往建康。南宋帝刘义隆下诏任命沮渠无讳当凉河沙军区司令长官（都督凉河沙三州诸军事）、征西大将军、凉州州长，封河西王。 7、冬季，十月六日，北魏帝国封皇子拓跋伏罗当晋王、拓跋翰当秦王、拓跋谭当燕王、拓跋建当楚王、拓跋余当吴王。

12、南宋帝国雍州州长、晋安侯（襄侯）刘道产逝世。刘道产有极强的行政能力，人民安居乐业，无论是大户或小户人家，全都富庶，因之，民间有《襄阳乐歌》，叙述生活幸福。一向躲藏在山里、从来无法制伏的“山蛮”都走出深山，沿着汉水定居，结成村庄，户口殷实繁盛。刘道产死后，蛮夷把他的灵柩一直送到沔口（汉水注入长江处·湖北省武汉市）。 不久，各地蛮夷纷纷叛变。征西将军府军政官（征西司马）朱脩之出军讨伐，失利。南宋帝刘义隆下诏，命建威将军沈庆之接替，斩杀及俘虏蛮夷一万余人（贪官污吏把那些纯朴老实、心存感恩的“蛮夷”逼反，然后再讨伐杀戮，可痛）。 13、北魏帝拓跋焘，命国务院执行官（尚书）李顺评估文武百宫的等级，用作封赏爵位的标准。李顺接受贿赂，评估不能公平。本年，凉州人徐桀向中央告发。拓跋焘勃然大怒，追溯李顺包庇北凉王国往事（参考四三九年三月），认为他当面欺骗皇帝，贻误国家；命李顺自杀。 1、春季，正月，北魏帝国（首都平城）征西将军皮豹子进击乐乡（甘肃省成县东北），南宋帝国（首都建康）将军王奂之等全军覆没。北魏兵团挺进到下辨（甘肃省成县），南宋将军强玄明等战败，被杀。 二月，南宋帝国北秦州（州政府设仇池）州长（刺史）胡崇之在浊水（甘肃省成县西）迎战，大败，被北魏生擒，残余部众逃回汉中（陕西省汉中市）；另一位将军姜道祖也大败，投降北魏兵团。 北魏帝国遂占领仇池。“氐王”（首府仇池）杨保炽逃走。 2、二月五日（原文“丙午”，据《魏书·世祖纪》改），北魏帝（三任太武帝）拓跋焘（本年三十六岁）前往恒山（河北省曲阳县北）南麓。 三月二十日，拓跋焘回宫。 3、三月二十二日，乌洛侯部落（内蒙古东北部大兴安岭东麓）派使节到北魏帝国。 最初，北魏帝国还是原始部落时，居住在北方荒凉地带（索头部落迁徙过程，参考二六一年），敲凿山上石头，建立庙院（在今内蒙古鄂伦春旗嘎仙洞），在乌洛侯部落的西北方，祭祀祖先。高七十尺，深九十步。乌洛侯部落使节到达平城，告知石庙还在。拓跋焘派立法院主任立法官（中书侍郎）李敞前往石庙祭祀，在石壁上刻下祝祷文而回。石庙距平城四千余里（航空距离一千三百五十千米）。 4、北魏帝国河间公拓跋齐跟武都王杨保宗，分别驻守骆谷（陕西省周至县西南）两旁，营垒遥遥相对。杨保宗的老弟杨文德，煽动杨保宗据守险要，背叛北魏。消息走漏，有人报告拓跋齐。 夏季，四月，拓跋齐引诱杨保宗见面，生擒，解送首都平城，斩首。“氐王”过去部属前镇东将军府军政官（镇东司马）苻达、征西将军府参谋指挥官（征西从事中郎）任朏等（音fei）遂聚众起兵，拥护杨文德当盟主，据守白崖（陕西省宁强县东北四十千米），派出军队，分别夺取据点，遂包围仇池，称征西将军，秦、河、梁三州全权州长（牧），仇池公。 5、四月二十四日，南宋帝国封皇子刘诞当广陵王。 6、四月二十七日，北魏帝国大赦。 四月二十九日，北魏帝拓跋焘前往阴山。 7、五月，北魏帝国安西将军古弼动员上邽（上封·甘肃省天水市）、高平（宁夏固原县）、汧城（陕西省陇县）各地军队，攻击杨文德，杨文德撤退。征西将军皮豹子率关中（陕西省中部）各路兵马，抵达下辨（甘肃省成县），听说仇池已经解围，打算回军。古弼反对，派人对皮豹子说：“宋国（南宋帝国）对于这次战败，一定认为是奇耻大辱，势将卷土重来。你的大军撤退之后，要想再发，十分困难，不如暂时停留，一面训练，一面养精蓄锐，等待他们攻击。我预料，不会超过秋冬两季，宋军（南宋帝国军）必然抵达。我们以逸待劳，无往而不利。”皮豹子同意。北魏政府任命皮豹子当仇池镇防守司令（镇将）。 杨文德派使节向南宋帝国请求援救。 秋季，七月十四日，南宋帝（三任文帝）刘义隆（本年三十七岁）下诏，任命杨文德当北秦雍军区司令长官（都督北秦雍二州诸军事）、征西大将军、北秦州州长，封武都王。杨文德驻军葭芦城（甘肃省武都县东南），任命任朏当左军政官（左司马），武都郡（甘肃省武都县）、阴平郡（甘肃省文县）一带氐民族，很多人归附。 8、七月二十五日，南宋帝国前雍州（州政府设襄阳）州长刘真道，梁、南秦二州（州政府设南郑）州长裴方明，被指控仇池之役吞没金银财宝及名马，下狱，处死。 胡三省曰： 南宋帝国舍弃功劳不记，专记过失，自己诛杀自己的良将，怪不得受北魏帝国打击。 9、九月三日（原文“辛已”，据《魏书·世祖纪》改），北魏帝拓跋焘前往瀚海沙漠之南。 九月六日，拓跋焘放弃辎重，率轻装备骑兵向柔然汗国（瀚海沙漠群）发动突袭。分军四路：乐安王拓跋范、建宁王拓跋崇，各率十五个将领，东路进击。乐平王拓跋丕率十五位将领，西路进击。拓跋焘中路进击；中山王拓跋辰率十五位将领，当后备部队。 拓跋焘抵达鹿浑谷（蒙古国哈尔和林市北），恰恰跟柔然汗国敕连可汗（五任）郁久闾吴提遭遇，这是难得的良机，太子拓跋晃对老爹说：“盗贼（柔然汗国）再也想不到我们大军突然出现，应该乘他们没有防备，急速进击。”国务院总理（尚书令）刘絜坚决劝阻，认为柔然军营之中，尘土飞扬，人数一定很多，一旦在平地接战，恐怕反被包围，不如等各路大军集结之后，再行攻击。拓跋晃说：“尘土所以飞扬，是他们的士卒惊慌恐惧，奔跑骚动引起；一个平静的营区上空，怎么会有尘土？”但拓跋焘怀疑，不敢放手攻击，而郁久闾吴提遂乘机逃走。拓跋焘追赶，追到石水（蒙古国色楞格河上游楚鲁特河），无法追及，班师。不久，俘虏柔然汗国斥候，斥候说：“柔然不知道魏军（北魏军）突然开到跟前，上下恐惧成一团，可汗（郁久闾吴提）率部众向北逃走，一连奔跑六七天，知道背后没有追兵，才慢慢步行。”拓跋焘自己怨恨自己。自此之后，军中或国家大事，拓跋焘都听取太子拓跋晃的意见。 琅邪王司马楚之另率别动部队督运军粮。镇北将军封沓逃亡，投降柔然汗国，劝柔然袭击司马楚之，断绝北魏大军粮食供应。司马楚之军营之中，忽然一只驴的耳朵被割掉，不知去向，所有将领都不知道什么缘故，司马楚之说：“这定是盗贼（指柔然汗国）派间谍暗中入营侦察，割掉一只驴耳，作为证明。盗贼大军马上就要对我们攻击，火速戒备。”砍伐附近柳树，建立城垒，上面浇水，使它结成厚冰。刚刚完成，柔然兵团果然抵达，冰坚而滑，无法进攻，只好撤退。 10、十一月，南宋帝国将军姜道盛跟“氐王”（首府葭芦城）杨文德会师，合军二万人，攻击北魏军据守的浊水指挥所。北魏仇池镇防守司令（镇将）皮豹子、河间公拓跋齐率军增援，斩姜道盛。 11、十一月二十七日，北魏帝拓跋焘南下回京，抵达朔方（黄河河套地区），下诏授权太子拓跋晃总管全国事务，统御文武百官。诏书上说：“各功臣勤劳辛苦太久，一律保持原来封爵，从官位上退休，但仍随时出席政府高阶层官员会议，参加在我面前举行的欢宴，谈论治国道理，贡献优良谋略；唯不再担任繁杂艰巨的任务。另外重新推荐贤能人才，补充缺额。” 十二月一日，拓跋焘返首都平城。 1、春季，正月三日，南宋帝国（首都建康）皇帝（三任文帝）刘义隆（本年三十八岁）到民间行耕田仪式。amnesty. 2、正月六日，北魏帝国（首都平城）太子拓跋晃开始总管全国文武百官。北魏帝（三任太武帝）拓跋焘（本年三十七岁）命高级咨询官（侍中）、立法院总立法长（中书监）穆寿，宰相（司徒）崔浩，高级咨询官（侍中）张黎、古弼辅佐太子裁决政务。上书给太子时，都自称“臣”，用“臣”的礼仪。 古弼这个人，忠厚谨慎，朴实正直。曾经认为上谷郡（河北省怀来县）皇家林园面积太大，打算削减一半，赏赐给贫民，而入宫晋见拓跋焘，准备当面奏请这件事。可是拓跋焘正跟御前监料宫（给事中）刘树在那里下棋，全神贯注，顾不得理会古弼。古弼呆坐一旁很久，没有机会开口。忽然间，他大发脾气，跳起来抓住刘树的头发，拉到床下，揪住他的耳朵，揍他的脊背，喊叫说：“政治所以不上轨道，都是你的罪过！”拓跋焘大吃一惊，推开棋盘说：“不听报告，是我的错，跟刘树打什么关系，放了他！”古弼遂说明来意，拓跋焘批准。古弼说：“当人的臣属，竟无礼到这种程度，罪过太大。”出宫后，前往公车门，脱下冠帽，不穿鞋袜，请求处罚。拓跋焘命他入宫，对他说：“我曾经听说，兴筑神坛时，光脚赤臂挑土；神坛落成后，穿衣戴帽祭祀，神灵照样赐给他福分。那么，你有什么罪？快穿鞋戴帽，去做你的事。只要对国家有利，对人民方便，就应竭尽全力，不要有什么顾虑。” 太子拓跋晃督导农民耕种，规定：没有牛的农家，可以向有牛的农家借牛耕田，然后再替有牛农家耕田，作为偿还；凡自耕二十二亩，就为牛主代耕七亩，大概以这种比例计算。命农民在地亩前标出姓名，用来考察他们的勤快懒惰；又禁止人民饮酒和从事休闲活动，于是耕地的数目人增。 3、正月十二日，北魏帝拓跋焘下诏：“王爵、公爵以下，直到平民，凡是私自在家供养佛教僧侣或男女巫师的，应把他们全体送交政府。二月十五日之后，如果仍留在家中，僧侣、巫师处死，主人全家斩首。” 正月十四日，又下诏：“王爵、公爵、部长级官员、政务官（大夫）级官员的儿子，一律送到国立大学（太学）。工匠、商人的儿子，应继承老爹老哥的行业，不可以私自设立学校读书。凡有违背，教师处死，当事人全家斩首。” 4、二月六日，北魏帝国中山王拓跋辰、京畿及全国部族政务总监（内都坐大官）薛辨、国务院执行官（尚书）奚眷等八将领，被指控攻击柔然汗国军事行动中，没有在预定时间抵达目的地，绑赴平城南郊，全部斩首。 最初，国务院总理（尚书令）刘絜，长期主管政府机要（拓跋焘当太子时，刘絜、古弼、崔浩都担任辅佐，主管机要，迄今二十余年。参考四二二年五月），仗恃皇帝的宠信，做事独断专行，拓跋焘心里早不高兴。等到突击柔然汗国，刘絜劝阻说：“蠕蠕（柔然汗国）东迁西移，没有常性，上次出军（指四三八年七月之役），劳而无功。不如推广农耕，积蓄粮秣，等待他们送到门口。”而宰相（司徒）崔浩，却一再劝拓跋焘御驾亲征，拓跋焘采纳崔浩建议。刘絜对自己的建议竟被拒绝，感觉没有面子，认为是一种奇耻大辱，打算想办法使远征军失败，用来证实自己的智慧高人一等。拓跋焘本来跟各路军将领约定某一天在鹿浑谷（蒙古国哈尔和林市北）会师，刘絜却假传圣旨，变更会师日期。所以，拓跋焘在鹿浑谷等候六天之久，各路人马，竟没有到达。柔然汗国部众遂得远远逃走，追赶已来不及。班师途中，穿过瀚海沙漠群，粮食吃完，士卒很多饿死。刘絜又暗中煽风点火，军心大为惊扰，刘絜劝拓跋焘抛弃大军，自己先行轻装奔回，拓跋焘不接受。刘絜认为此次出军，又一次的劳而无功，请求惩罚崔浩。拓跋焘说：“是各路将领不能如期会师，而我自己碰上盗贼（指郁久闾吴提），又没有攻击，崔浩有什么罪！”崔浩遂向拓跋焘检举刘絜假传圣旨之事，拓跋焘大怒，抵达五原（内蒙古包头市）后，逮捕刘絜，囚禁。拓跋焘北伐时，刘絜暗中对他的亲信说：“如果皇上不能回来（战死或病死），我就拥护乐平王（拓跋丕）。”刘絜听说国务院右秘书长（尚书右丞）张嵩家藏有神秘预言书（图谶），问说：“魏国（北魏帝国）之后，姓刘的应该当王，有没有我的姓名？”张嵩说：“有姓无名。”拓跋焘听到这个消息，命主管机关穷追细查，搜索张嵩家，果然搜出神秘预言书。审问中，口供牵连到南康公狄邻。于是刘絜、张嵩、狄邻一律屠杀三族，处死的一百余人。刘絜在位时，傲慢不可一世，作威作福，将领们击败敌人，抢夺到金银财宝，都要分一份给刘絜。刘絜既死，没收他的家产，有亿万之多。拓跋焘每谈到刘絜，就痛恨入骨，咬牙切齿。 二月八曰，乐平王（戾王）拓跋丕（拓跋焘的老弟）因忧虑过度，逝世。最初，拓跋焘兴筑白台，高二百余尺（《魏书·太宗纪》：四一七年七月十五日，二任帝拓跋嗣在首都平城南郊，建白台），拓跋丕梦见登到台上，四下张望，看不见人。命巫术师董道秀卜卦，董道秀说：“大吉大利。”拓跋丕虽不说话，但脸上有喜悦的表情。等到拓跋丕逝世，董道秀也被指控有罪，绑赴刑场斩首。高允听到这件事，说：“凡卜卦的人，都应该依照卜卦书上指示，劝人尽忠国家，孝顺父母。大王（拓跋丕）询问董道秀时，董道秀应该说：'高到不能再高，称“亢”，说：“亢龙有悔”；又说：“高而无民”；都是不祥预兆，大王不可以不存戒心。'如此，大王在上位得到平安，董道秀在下位保住性命。他的回答却恰恰相反，怪不得会死。” 5、十五日，北魏帝拓跋焘前往庐柳（山西省·临猗县西北）。 6、二月二十四日，南宋帝国江夏王刘义恭晋升全国武装部队总司令（太尉），兼任宰相（司徒）。 二月二十五日，南宋政府任命高级咨询官（侍中）兼首都西区卫戍司令（右卫将军）沈演之当中央禁军总监（中领军）；首都东区卫戍司令（左卫将军）范晔当太子宫总管（太子詹事）。 二月二十六日，封皇子刘宏当建平王。 7、三月九日，北魏帝拓跋焘回宫。 三月十八日，拓跋焘命最高监察长（司空）长孙道生镇守统万镇（陕西省靖边县北白城子）。 夏季，四月十一日，高级咨询官、太宰（上公）、阳平王杜超被部下刺死。 8、六月，北魏帝国北部屯垦区移民击斩立义将平、衡阳公拓跋莫孤，集结五千余帐，向北逃走。北魏政府派军追击，追到瀚海沙漠南，斩变民军首领，把剩下来的部众强行迁到冀州（州政府设信都）、相州（州政府设邺城）、定州（州政府设中山），作为“营户”（《通典》：营户就是“军营户口
