Yuwen Hu's fourth uncle is the famous Yuwen Tai, when the Six Towns Uprising, Yu Wen Hu followed the fourth uncle Yu Wen Tai to defect in Ge Rong's army, at that time Yu Wen Hu was only twelve years old, and then Ge Rong rebelled failed, Yu Wen Tai defected to He Bayue, Yu Wen Hu was young, he stayed to take care of the family, and within a few years, Yu Wen Tai was mixed under He Bayue, at this time Yu Wen Hu went to Yu Wen Tai, when Yu Wen Tai's sons were still young, so the family affairs were entrusted to him.
He Bayue was killed by Hou Mo Chen Yue, Yuwen Tai went to Pingliang to lead his subordinates to recruit Hou Mo Chen Yue to avenge He Ba Yue, Hou Mo Chen Yue was defeated, announced that He Ba Yue's forces belonged to Yu Wentai, at this time the two major forces of Northern Wei were Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai, and no one obeyed anyone, the two simply supported an emperor themselves, thus separating Northern Wei into Eastern and Western Wei.
After the separation of the Eastern and Western Wei dynasties, wars often broke out between the two sides, Yuwen Hu in the war against the Eastern Wei, repeatedly meritorious achievements, the status gradually increased, Yuwen Tai often boasted that his nephew's ambitions were very similar to him, and the war against Southern Liang also helped Western Wei occupy many lands.
When Yuwen Tai was seriously ill, considering that his sons were still young, and with the attention of the Northern Qi Gaojia regime and the Southern Liang regime, he handed over the heavy responsibility of protecting the country to his eldest nephew Yu Wenhu and instructed Yu Wenhu to complete his volunteers.
In this way, the power of the Western Wei Guanlong clique was in the hands of Yuwen Hu, who took advantage of Yuwen Tai's prestige and united with Yuwen Tai's old subordinates to abolish the Western Wei Emperor, and established The Western Wei Dynasty with Yuwen Jue's son Yuwen Jue, who was only sixteen years old when he ascended the throne, and he was a puppet emperor controlled by his cousin Yuwen Jue.
Since Yuwen Jue ascended the throne, every day has not been happy, although he is said to be the founding prince, but he does not have half the power in his hands, unlike Gao Yang of Northern Qi, several of Yuwen Tai's old ministers watched Yuwen Jue's power grow, and they were also worried that they would threaten their own interests, and frantically offered yu Wenjue a plan to help Yu Wenjue seize power, and this seizure of power was to turn his face with Yuwen Jue.
Coupled with the Eight Pillars of the State of Zhao Gui, Du Guxin, all want to rebel against Yuwen Hu, which makes Yu Wen Jue think that he has enough strength to fight with Yuwen Hu, so he decisively fell out with it, Yu Wen Jue thought that he had the certainty of victory, did not expect the two trump cards in his hand, Zhao Gui and Du Gu Xin were easily destroyed by Yu Wen Hu, Yu Wen Hu asked Yu Wen Jue with a handful of snot and a handful of tears, your own brothers you don't believe, you still believe outsiders, since you are disobedient, then I will change someone to be this emperor.
After imprisoning Yuwen Jue, he pushed Yuwen Yu to inherit the throne, and Yuwen Yu was still very grateful to this cousin, because he was out of the house, if it were not for Yuwen Hu, this throne would not have a half-cent relationship with him, so his attitude towards Yuwen Hu was very good, and Yu Wen Hu also felt that this cousin was a well-behaved puppet emperor, so he successfully spent a period of peaceful and stable days.
Unfortunately, the good times are not long, no one wants to be a puppet, Yuwen Yu does not want to continue to be this puppet emperor, Yuwen Yu also knows that this younger brother is still a little skilled, if he continues to grow, he will certainly not have a good end, so Yuwen Hu pretended to resign from all his positions, in fact, he was testing Yuwen Yu's attitude.
Yuwen Yu saw that his cousin was actually willing to return the government to himself, it was quite happy, he agreed to Yuwen Hu, seeing such a result, this Time Yu Wen Hu was more worried, Yu Wen Yu had a clever personality, had insight and courage, he was more sure of his own conjecture, Yu Wen Hu found one of his own cooks, this cook because of the good cooking, was promoted by Yu Wen Hu many times, received the favor of others, that must be repaid, especially the ancient people's thoughts, the soldier died for the confidant, Yu Wen Hu let him poison in Yu Wen Yu's meals, Not long after, Yuwen Yu was poisoned.
His two cousins, one locked up by him, one slightly more severe, was poisoned by him, when his fourth uncle Yuwen Tai was about to die of illness to explain to him, this time he did not remember anything, properly did not talk about martial arts, after destroying Yu Wentai's two sons, he set his sights on Yuwen Tai's fourth son, Yuwen Yong (yong), because at that time this brother was only seventeen years old, easy to control, usually stupid.
What Yuwen Hu did not expect was that he was deceived by this younger brother, the person who really dressed up as a pig to eat a tiger was Yuwen Yong, this brother was the most tolerant one, seventeen years old when he was the emperor, let Yu Wen Hu be the Emperor on his head for thirteen years, and finally killed Yu Wen Hu at the age of thirty, really grasped the power of Northern Zhou, after killing Yu Wen Hu, he also killed all of Yu Wen Hu's sons and grandsons, no wonder the ancients often said that ruthlessness is the most imperial family.
Yuwen Hu's end was already doomed when Yuwen Jue was spent, after all, this Jiangshan was fought down by Yuwen Tai, and as long as the old minister loyal to Yuwen Tai saw that his descendants were capable, he would have to let you die in that minute, and he had two choices at that time to save him, either to return to Yuwen Jue, or to abolish Yu Wenjue, and become emperor himself by his iron blood means.
