"The thief of the hook, the thief of the country." Although this sentence satirizes the unreasonable legal regulations of the old society, it is indeed a real phenomenon. If the rebellion is successful, it can become the head of a country.
There are many celebrities who steal the country as kings, and today we are talking about a traitor in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenhua. By chance, he "stole" the Sui Dynasty and left his name in the annals of history. Yu Wenhua was the head of the Sui Dynasty Emperor's guards, killed the Sui Emperor during the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and established himself as king.
As we all know, the Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang was a tyrant, and according to legend, he ordered the excavation of the Grand Canal in order to go south to Yangzhou to see the Qionghua. But as the saying goes, "Two skins in a person's mouth, make it anyway." "History books are sometimes not credible, let alone stories of word of mouth.
Although Yang Guang was not a Ming Jun, he was really not faint. Looking at his exploits, it can only be said that it is out of date. Sin is in the present, meritorious and eternal. Therefore, under the anger of heaven and people, Yang Guang was stabbed to death by his own favorite, which was also deserved.
1. Be despicable and trustworthy
Yu Wenhua and are humble people, martial arts, strategies are also counted, and the late Sui and early Tang dynasties can also be regarded as heroes of the times. He was born into the Jingzhao Yuwen clan, and his father was the left guard general Yuwen Shu.
Unlike other heroes, history does not have a positive evaluation of him, but uses a slight disdain in the wording. He is said to be greedy, not to look at etiquette in his eyes, arrogant, and greedy to enjoy. So it seems to be the same as the stupid boy, so how did he get recorded in the annals of history?
The relationship between people and people sometimes depends on the eye, so the Yu culture and the partial entry into Yang Guang's eyes, the relationship between the two is very close. At that time, Yang Guang was still the crown prince, and Yu Wenhua and the relationship between the family and the family were given the position of a prince servant. Although he had a servant word, this was the official position of Zheng Wupin, mainly responsible for the safety of cars and horses, and Yang Guang had to use him when he went out on weekdays.
Yu Wenhua and Yang Guang are also similar in smell, and the relationship is getting closer and closer. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was promoted to Yu Wenhua and made a servant Shaoqing, in charge of che public opinion, soldiers and horses. It is roughly similar to the modern Minister of Strategic Resources.
The relationship between the two is not all close, but also a little kinship. Yang Guang's eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang, was the wife of Yuwen Wenhua and his younger brother Yuwen Shihe. Yu Wenhua and greedy for money once sold horses to the Turks behind the sui emperor's back.
The importance of soldiers and horses resources at that time was no less than that of guns and cannons now, and the Sui Emperor naturally could not tolerate it and ordered his arrest. It was the Princess of Nanyang who interceded to be spared the death penalty. Although he made a big mistake, remembering his old feelings, the Sui Emperor still used him as a general of the Right Tun Wei. It also laid the groundwork for the later death of the Sui Emperor.
2. Committing rebellion against the king
Speaking of Yu culture and its beginnings, I have to say that I am a little lucky, and I am a hero created by the times. After the Sui Dynasty Emperor ascended the throne, he pacified Southern Chen and unified the world; dug a canal to penetrate the water system; there was no gap between Yixia and culture; the Eastern Expedition to the West, and the Submission of the Four Yis. It seems that this is what a generation of Ming Emperors should do, why did Emperor Wu of Han also do this, but the evaluation of the two was diametrically opposite?
Without being in that era, it is easy to overlook one thing when commenting on people and events of that era, and that is time. The Sui Dynasty Emperor reigned for about 14 years, and after completing these things in more than ten years, you can imagine how bitter the lives of the common people were.
Peasant revolts occurred frequently at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and wars invaded the whole country. In the twelfth year of Daye (616 BC), Li Mi, the leader of the Wagang Army, led troops to intercept the Sui Emperor who was in Jiangdu, but because the important pass of the western return was occupied by rebels, the Sui Emperor was forced to stay in Jiangdu and could not return to the Capital Division.
In this case, Yang Guang had no intention of having to go back, and was ready to set up another capital in the south. However, most of his guards were northerners, and when they heard this news, they could not help but be restless, so people's hearts were unstable, and those who had hearts secretly planned to rebel and return to Beijing.
At that time, the leader of the Emperor's personal guard Xiaoguo Army was Sima Dekan (戡), and when he learned of the news of the internal rebellion of the Xiaoguo Army, he planned to use this to cause trouble and plunder the property. Since there was no leader, he consulted with his subordinates and decided to win over Yu Wenhua and start a rebellion in his name.
Yu Wenhua and although arrogant, they are not bold people. At first hearing the news, I couldn't react at all, thought about it for a long time, and didn't shoulder the temptation of power and agreed. In the fourteenth year of Daye, the rebels of the Xiaoguo Army broke into the palace of the Sui Emperor, and Yu Wenhua ordered the Sui Emperor to be hanged. Yang Hao, the nephew of the Sui Emperor, was made emperor and proclaimed himself the Grand Chancellor.
3. Kill the new emperor and establish himself as king
Yu's culture and ability are insufficient, and he has never thought of being an emperor. The reason that prompted him to become emperor was to talk about Li Mi as a person. Because he was intercepted by Li Mi and could not return to Beijing, a rebellion occurred within the Xiaoguo Army. Yu Wenhua and this will inevitably lead the SS back to the Beijing Division. At that time, the waterway had been cut off, and the army could only go by land.
Yu Wenhua and the gold and silver jewelry that were reluctant to be looted ordered the soldiers to carry the weight forward. The road is long and the terrain is difficult to walk, and the soldiers are miserable. How can a tired army fight and win a battle? After several confrontations with Li Mi, there was no benefit, and the army collapsed, leaving less than 20,000 people in the end.
After retreating to Wei Prefecture with the remnants of the army, Yu Wenhua and he knew that he was already a dead end, and said a sentence: "Life should be dead, isn't it a day for the emperor?" So he killed the puppet emperor Yang Hao at that time and established himself as king with the name of Xu.
Fourth, the spring breeze was once peach-colored scandal
Heroes from ancient times with beautiful people. The Chu emperor had Yu Ji (虞兮虞兮奈奈若何); Tang Xuanzong had Yang Guifei (六宫粉黛無 color);Wu Sangui (吴三桂) had Chen Yuanyuan (劉元元), who "rushed the crown and became angry with a red face". Yu Wenhua also has such a beautiful person with a peachy atmosphere.
At the time of the Coup d'état in Jiangdu, Emperor Sui and his wife Empress Xiao were stranded in Jiangdu. After the Sui Emperor was killed, Empress Xiao was forced to take the emperor's grandson and the remaining royal daughters with her and follow the rebels to Liaocheng. After Yu Wenhua ascended the throne as emperor, he forced Empress Xiao to be a concubine.
Empress Xiao was born noble, bright and moving, and was the concubine of Emperor Ming of Liang. Because he was born in February, he was unfortunate to be adopted by his uncle. After marrying Yang Guang, he gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and was extremely pampered. She tried her best to assist her husband, and the Sui Emperor was able to seize the throne to some extent stained the light of his wife Empress Xiao.
Killing the emperor and forcibly occupying the harem was not uncommon, and it could be passed down as a matter of affair, or because Empress Xiao later traveled many places, her life was like duckweed, and she still had a little close relationship with Li Shimin. In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, after empress Xiao's death, Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered him to be buried with the Sui Emperor with the courtesy name "愍".
summary
Although Yu Wenhua and this person are also called heroes, they are really not characters who stand tall in the sky. The evaluation of him by successive generations is inseparable from words such as mediocrity and incompetence, and the thief of the world.
Yu Wenhua and took the opportunity to kill Yang Guangcai got a good opportunity to establish himself as king. But this also helped Li Yuan get rid of a big trouble, allowing him to win the world more justifiably. It can be said that the time is also fate. Even if the incompetent people win only temporarily, in the end, Tang Annihilates sui and prospers is the trend of the times.
