The Zhou Jing Emperor Yuwen Yan was the last emperor of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yan was only 6 years old when he succeeded to the throne, and after only 2 years on the throne, he was killed by Yang Jian. In fact, Yuwen Yan was also a victim of the power struggle, and at a young age, he could not be the lord at all, and finally Yang Jian's ascension to the throne also completely declared the demise of Northern Zhou. In "The Lonely Queen", Yuwen Yan's life is a mystery, and some people think that Yu WenYi may be Yang Lihua's child, is this possible? The following is a brief talk about who Yuwen Xian's birth mother is, as well as his historical experience.
Yuwen explains the historical archetype
Emperor Yuwen of Zhou, whose original name was Yuwen Yan, was the last emperor of Northern Zhou and the eldest son of Yuwen Yun, emperor xuan of Northern Zhou. However, Yuwen Yan was not born to Yang Lihua, Yuwen Yan's birth mother was named Zhu Manyue, one of Yuwen Yun's five queens.
Zhu Manyue was not from a noble background like Yang Lihua, she was at first just a maid in the palace, but with her good posture, she seduced Yuwen Yun and gave birth to a son for Yuwen Yun, who was later inherited from Yuwen Yun's throne.
Unfortunately, Yuwen Yan was not born to Yang Lihua, so Yang Jian was not his maternal grandfather, and there was no affection for him to speak of, but Yang Lihua, the empress dowager, wanted to plan for the Yuwen family, she was the one who opposed her father Yang insisted on being emperor, but with her own strength, she could not stop all this coming. The gap from the empress dowager to the princess also made Yang Lihua's situation very embarrassing.
In 581, emperor Yuwen of Zhou Jing ceded the throne to Yang Jian on the grounds that "Zhou Dequan was exhausted and followed Wang Xing". After Yang Jian succeeded to the throne, he executed Yuwen Yun's other two sons, Yuwen Yun and Yuwen Shu. And Yuwen Xian, who took the initiative to give up the throne, was also inexplicably killed by someone in that year, only nine years old. Yang Jian's heart was fierce, and it was vividly reflected in this matter. Fortunately, Yang Lihua and Yuwen Yun did not have a son, only a daughter, if it was her son who inherited the throne at that time, it was difficult to ensure that Yang Jian would not compete with his own grandson for this world.
Yuwen's birth mother was not Yang Lihua
In "The Lonely Queen", Yuwen Yan is the eldest son of Yuwen Yun, and his birth mother is not Yang Lihua, but another favorite concubine of Yuwen Yun. As we all know, Yuwen Yun was absurd and incompetent, and in the short period of one year of his reign, he had five empresses in a row, and Yuwen Yan's birth mother was Yuwen Yun's Heavenly Empress Zhu Manyue.
Zhu Manyue's status among the five empresses was only lower than that of Yang Lihua. Although she came from a humble background, because she was favored by Yuwen Yun and gave birth to his eldest son Yuwen Yan, Zhu Manyue's position in the palace was still very honorable before Yang Jiandai Zhou established himself.
In 581, the nine-year-old Yuwen Xian ceded the throne to Yang Jian, the Duke of Suiguo, on the grounds that he was young and incompetent to take care of Jiangshan Sheji. Yang insisted that soon after the emperor, Yuwen Xian was killed, and it is not known who the real culprit behind this is.
Yuwen Yan's birth mother, Zhu Manyue, also became a nun in the same year that Yang insisted on becoming emperor, and took the title of Fa Jing. As for Yang Lihua, as Yuwen Xian's concubine, she was originally very opposed to Yang insisting on being emperor. In "The Lonely Empress", in order to prevent Yang from insisting on becoming emperor and helping Yuwen Xian to keep the emperor's throne, Yang Lihua also did many wrong things, and she even disregarded her parents' kindness and was bent on opposing her father.
However, no matter how Yang Lihua tossed, Yang Jian's ascension to the throne is the trend of the times, and she is the most beloved daughter of LoneLy Garo and Yang Jian, so no matter what kind of mistakes she commits, Yang Jian will unconditionally tolerate her and forgive her. In fact, Yang Jian still feels guilty about Yang Lihua, after all, it is his father who caused her country to be destroyed, so in history, Yang Jian, in order to make up for Yang Lihua, also thought of letting her remarry, but Yang Lihua swore to die, and Yang Jian could only give up in the end.
