Who was Emperor Xuanwu of Northern Wei?
Tuoba Ke, later Yuan Ke was known as Emperor Xuanwu of Northern Wei during the Mongolian Xianbei dynasty Northern Wei.
During Xuanwu's reign, Northern Wei appeared, outwardly, to be at its prime, but there was much political infighting and corruption, particularly by Xuanwu's uncle Gao Zhao.
Xuanwu was an avid Buddhist, and during his reign Buddhism effectively became the state religion, as Xuanwu himself often personally lectured on the Buddhist sutras.
