Cui Hao
Cui Hao
Cui Hao (381-450 years), the word Boyuan, small peach slips, Qinghe County Dongwu city (now Hebei Province Gucheng County) people. During the northern and Southern Dynasties, he was an outstanding statesman and military strategist in the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was the seventh grandson of Cui Lin and the eldest son of Cui Hong.
Cui Hao was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, a big family in the north. He was very resourceful and often compared himself with Zhang Liang. The most important contribution of emperor Wei to the unification of Taiwu and his officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty was to promote the unification of Taiwu and his officials in the northern Ming Dynasty. He helped emperor Taiwu to destroy Huxia, Beiliang and other countries, broke Rouran, relieved the military threat from the north and Guanzhong area, and opened the way to the western regions. Leibai situ was granted the title of Duke of Dongjun.
In 450, Cui Hao was implicated in the "prison of national history" and was annihilated by nine ethnic groups. He was 70 years old.
Life of the characters

Cui Hao was born into a noble family in northern China. His mother was the granddaughter of Lu Chen, a writer in late Western Jin Dynasty and later Zhao Dynasty. Therefore, he was a cousin to Lu Xuan, a writer in gaomen of Fan Yang. Cui Hao himself and his brother Cui Tian's wife are both the daughters of Guo Yi, the Guo family in Taiyuan, so their families are all aristocratic families. Cui Lin, his seventh ancestor, was an official of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms. He worshipped Sikong and became the Marquis of Anyang. Cui Yue, the great ancestor of Zhao Shihu, is the history of situ Youchang. His grandfather Cui Qian was a servant of the yellow gate of Houyan. His father Cui Hong, known as Jizhou child prodigy, in the early Northern Wei Dynasty, tired officials to the Ministry of officials, minister, adult, given the Baron white horse. Cui Hao was more talented than his father. He was less good at literature, and he was not able to catch up with him when he read classics and history. A minor is zhilang.
During the reign of emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty (398-404), Cui Hao was appointed secretary of the government and became a writer. Emperor Daowu often followed him because he was good at calligraphy. In his later years, Emperor Daowu was very dignified. Most of the officials around the Imperial Palace and province were punished for their minor mistakes. All of them evaded the current disaster. Cui Hao was respectful, diligent and sometimes did not return all day. When Emperor Daowu knew, he asked someone to send him porridge.
Participating in the government
In the first year of Yongxing (409), Emperor Daowu was killed by his son Tuoba Shao, and then ascended to the throne by his eldest son Tuoba. Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty worshipped Cui Hao as the doctor's sacrificial wine and gave him the title of wuchengzi. Cui Hao often taught classics for emperor yuan of Ming Dynasty. When they were worshiping heaven and earth in the suburbs, Cui's father and son all took the Xuanyao bus, which was envied by people at that time.
In the first year of Shenrui (414), emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty was very good at Yin and Yang. After listening to Cui Hao's lectures on the book of changes and the five elements biography of Hongfan, he highly appreciated them and ordered Cui Hao to divine good and bad fortune, refer to astronomy and solve doubts. Cui Hao combined the way of heaven with the way of human affairs, and made a comprehensive investigation. He used it to predict all kinds of disasters, auspicious changes, and many of them came true. At this time, there are rabbits in the harem. After checking the guard, the rabbits can't come in at all. Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty felt very strange and ordered Cui Hao to speculate whether it was an ominous omen. Cui Hao thinks that it is a good omen when there are tribute concubines from neighboring countries. The next year, Yao Xing did offer the woman. Cui Hao's words are verified, so he is deeply favored and believed that "all military and state conspiracies are predicted.".
In the second year of Shenrui (415), Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty (today's Datong, Shanxi Province), suffered from frost and drought in successive years, and grain shortage occurred due to poor harvest in autumn. Many people in Yunzhong and Daijun starved to death. In September, the Taishi ordered Wang Liang and Su Tan to say to the emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty, "Pingcheng has been suffering from frost and drought for many years. Some people say that there must be great difficulties. We might as well move the capital from Pingcheng to Yecheng (now Linzhang County, Hebei Province)
Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty consulted his ministers. Cui Hao and tejin Zhou Dan said to emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty, "in the view of the ministers, although the relocation of the capital to ye can temporarily relieve the hunger of this autumn, it is not a long-term strategy. The people of Dongzhou (east of Taihang Mountain) always thought that the state of Wei had a large territory and abundant resources, with a large population and livestock. If we move the capital now, the eastern states will not be able to allocate many people, and let Xianbei and Han people live together in the wilderness, mountains and forests, acclimatized, and epidemic diseases, which will make people depressed. When people from all walks of life know the real situation, they are easy to despise and bully the Xianbei people. At the same time, Rouran and other tribes in the north will also take the opportunity to enter. At that time, Yunzhong and Pingcheng were in danger of becoming enemies. At that time, it would be too late to return to the army for rescue because Hengshan was separated from the earth. If we don't move the capital for the time being, even if there are some disturbances in Shandong Province, we can still ride south and show off our power. People don't know the truth, so they are bound to be afraid of the dust. This is the long-term strategy of the state to control the Central Plains. In addition, in the next spring, there will be enough grass, enough cheese and apples to help the autumn. If there is another good summer harvest, the situation will be better. “
After listening to this argument, emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty felt that it was very reasonable, but he asked Cui Hao anxiously, "if we can't survive the coming autumn, or if the crops are not ripe in the coming autumn, what will we do?" Cui Hao offered advice and said, "Your Majesty can send the poorest households down to the States for food. If the crops fail in autumn, you can think of other ways. But we must not move the capital! "
Following Cui Hao's advice, emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty selected a group of the poorest households and went down to the three states of Shandong Province, namely Dingzhou, Xiangzhou and Jizhou, where the Han people rented 50 meters and stones to support them. In the autumn of the next year, the harvest was good, the people were rich, the people were stable, and the country passed the storm. Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty was very happy. He gave Cui and tuei a concubine and a set of royal clothes, 50 pieces of silk and 50 Jin of cotton.
In August of the first year of Taichang (416), Liu Yu, a Taiwei of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, made a northern expedition to the later Qin Dynasty. The Jin army was in a state of great strength, and the later Qin Dynasty was defeated. In March of the next year (417), Liu Yu led the army to enter the Qinghe River from Huai and Si, and prepared to go West against the Yellow River. Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty summoned his ministers to discuss the matter of taking the road, which was opposed by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. He thought that Liu Yu's move must have the intention of drawing on the Wei Dynasty, and should send troops to prevent Liu Yu's army from going up the Hexi river. Only Cui Hao stood up against it and said, "Rouran is constantly harassing me. There is a shortage of food in our country. We should not send troops to meet the enemy. If we send troops to the south, the northern invaders will attack; if we send troops to save the north, the East will be in danger. Therefore, it is better to pass through Liu Yu, let him enter the pass, and then block his way back. It's like bianzhuang fighting tigers. He can kill two birds with one stone by waiting for two tigers to bite and fight
Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty was still worried about Liu Yu's plan, so he didn't agree with Cui Hao's suggestion. He sent his apprentice sun song to lead 100000 people to the north of the Yellow River, and sent thousands of cavalry to follow and monitor Liu Yu's troops on the North Bank of the yellow river. Liu Yu's advance was blocked, so in April he formed the "queyue formation" with chariots, crossbows and spearmen. The Wei army attacked with 30000 cavalry and was defeated. A Bogan and others were beheaded. The emperor of the Ming and Yuan Dynasties regretted the defeat of the Wei army and wished he could use Cui Hao's tactics.
When Liu Yubing came to Tongguan, emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty asked Ji Yu Cui Hao again. Cui Hao replied, "in the past, Yao had a good reputation, but not a practical one. His son, Yao Hong, was ill again, and all his relatives deserted him. Liu Yu takes advantage of the danger of others and is a good general. In the view of his ministers, victory is in hand. " Tuo Ba Si asked, "how does Liu Yu's military ability compare with murongchui's?" "Liu Yu is stronger," Cui said Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty asked, "how can you make a strong law?" Cui Hao said: "murongchui, with the capital of his father II as the king, was honored when he was born, and the same kind returned to him, just like the night moth going to the fire. With a little effort, he can make contributions. Liu Yu, on the other hand, emerged from the cold. He did not have a foot of land as capital and a pawn to call. He fought hard to destroy Huan Xuan, captured Murong Chao in the north, and destroyed Lu Xun in the south. He usurped the power of Jin, and then took charge of the state. If Liu Yu calms Yao Hong back, he will surely replace his master. This is inevitable. The land of Qin is a land of tigers and wolves. Liu Yu can't keep it well. Different customs make it difficult to change human feelings. It is impossible to cultivate in the land of the three Qin Dynasty, just like flying without wings and walking without feet. If we keep our troops there, we must help the enemy. Confucius said: a good man ruling a country for a hundred years can win and kill. Now it's hard for the Qin people to make it. How could Liu Yu make it in one or two years? For the time being, we can govern the army, restrain the people and guard the territory, so that the land of Qin will be owned by our country. We can sit as long as we can. " Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty said, "Liu Yu has entered the pass and can't advance or retreat. We sent elite cavalry to attack Pengcheng and Shouchun. Where can Liu Yu stand on his own?" Cui Hao said: "now that the two bandits in the northwest have not been eliminated, your majesty can not personally lead the six armies to the battle. Although the army was prosperous, there was no Han Xin or Bai Qi among the generals. Chang sun song was not Liu Yu's rival because he had the talent of governing the country but not the ability of making progress. I don't think it's too late. " Emperor yuan of Ming Dynasty said with a smile, "I know what you think."
Cui Hao said: "I have commented on modern people in private. I dare not let your majesty know. For example, Wang Meng was Guan Zhong of Fu Jian, Murong Xuangong was Huo Guang of Murong Wei, and Liu Yu was Cao Cao of Sima Dezong Emperor yuan of Ming Dynasty said, "what do you think of the former Emperor?" Cui Hao said: "how can a villain discover the vastness of heaven from his perspective. Even so, Taizu appointed honest people from Mobei, went south to the Central Plains, changed customs, and spread all over the world. He should be in line with Fuxi and Shennong. How can he respect his reputation and integrity? " Emperor yuan of Ming Dynasty said, "how about Qu Gai?" Cui Hao said: "Qu Gai's family and country were destroyed. He was sent alone and was appointed by Yao family. He didn't want to build a strong neighborhood and avenge himself, so he became angry and rebellious against Yao Xing, rebelled against villains, had no great strategy, and was cruel and tyrannical, and would eventually be destroyed by others. " Emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty was very happy. When they talked about midnight, emperor yuan of the Ming Dynasty gave him ten goblets of wine and one or two pieces of salt, saying, "I taste what you say, like this salt and wine, so I share it with you."
In 418, the comet came out of the tianhekou, entered Taiwei, passed through Beidou, passed through Ziwei, and invaded Tianshu. It was more than 80 days before and after that, and died in the Han Dynasty. Tuo Ba Si also called all the Confucians to ask
