The world's first powerful minister - Yuwen Tai

When it comes to The historical figure of Yuwen Tai, you may not know that the military system of the government, you should have heard a little about it!

He invented the prefectural military system, which was later played to the fullest by Tang Taizong Li Shimin. Therefore, Yuwentai should have the intellectual property rights of the prefectural military system, and Li Shimin should pay some intellectual property royalties.

In the last year of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the warlords were in a scuffle, Yuwen Tai stood out in the melee, unified GuanLong, and then killed the Northern Wei Xiaowu Emperor Yuan Xiu, and Established Yuan Baoju, the son of Yuan Xiu, as emperor, established the Western Wei regime, and set the capital chang'an.

Because Yuwen Tai is very tough, the tough life usually does not need to be explained with his mouth, only with his fists, because he holds real power, and naturally it is harder than the fists of ordinary people. Therefore, Yuan Baoju became a puppet emperor in shame, and Yuwen Tai became a powerful courtier in honor.

There is no puppet emperor in the world, and since there are powerful subjects, there are also puppet emperors.

Being a puppet emperor is risky, because at any time you face the danger of being deposed or usurped by your vassals, or even dying.

Being a vassal of power is also risky, because at any time you are in danger of being seized by a puppet emperor, or even executed. In addition, we must beware of the danger of being replaced by a powerful minister who is more ferocious than yourself.

Being a power minister is risky, and it is necessary to be cautious in obtaining power. Being a puppet emperor is risky, and seizing power requires strategy.

When the chancellor Yuwen Tai held the power of Western Wei, Gao Huan, another powerful minister of the same period and of equal strength, took control of the Power of Eastern Wei, at this time Western Wei and Eastern Wei were controlled by Yuwen Tai and Gao Huan, two powerful ministers, and the emperor was a puppet. Therefore, the Northern Dynasty was a dynasty of power. Due to the similarities between Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai's careers as courtiers, there is no longer a description of Gao Quanchen here, but only the deeds of Tai Ge's courtiers.

In 551, because Yuan Baoju felt that being a puppet emperor was too snubby and too depressed, he simply swallowed his breath and went to Yan Wangye to report to him. Immediately after Yuan Baoju's death, the chancellor Yuwen Tai immediately supported a new puppet emperor to come to power. The new puppet emperor was named Yuan Qin and was the eldest son of Yuan Baoju.

In 554, the powerful minister Yuwen Tai noticed that the puppet Yuan Qin was not very obedient, so he immediately pulled him down from the puppet dragon chair. Shortly after Yuan Qin was deposed, the powerful minister Yuwen Tai carried forward the "fine tradition" of either not doing it or doing it, and viciously poisoned him to death.

After Yuan Qin's death, the powerful minister Yuwen Tai learned the lessons of the last time and seized the time to support another more obedient puppet emperor, who was Yuan Baoju's fourth son, Yuan Qin's fourth brother Yuan Kuo.

Because Yuwen Tai had always hated Sinicization and was originally a Hu person, Yu Wentai suddenly felt that he was in power, and on a sunny day, he finally couldn't contain the extremely excited emotions in his heart, so he coerced the puppet emperor Yuan Kuo to change his yuan surname to Tuoba surname.

Let's first explain that this Tuoba is not the mop that sweeps the floor, Tuoba is a compound surname of the Xianbei clan.

Therefore, Yuan Kuo changed his surname and did not change his name to Tuoba Kuo.

I remember watching costume dramas when I was a child, and I often saw that in order to honor meritorious ministers, the emperor would either give a reward of silver or marry a princess or something, and even give a surname. But it had never been seen that the chancellor in turn changed the emperor's surname.

When Yuan Kuo heard that his surname had been changed to Tuoba Kuo, he did not know whether his mood at that time was joy or sadness. But no matter what his mood was, he could not always use his mantis arm as a car, and raised his hand to oppose it. If he dared to oppose it, then the courtiers would be very angry, and the consequences would be very serious.
