In China's feudal dynasty, there were many traitors who confused the emperor, causing chaos in the world, the collapse of the country, and finally even the loss of their own thrones. Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was such an emperor, which traitor did he appoint to lose Jiangshan? How did this traitor kill the emperor and sit on the dragon chair?
Yu Wenhua and presumably many people know that he was a great traitor of the Sui Dynasty. If you want to be a traitor, you must first be bad, and Yu Wenhua and in the government and the public are indeed bad enough. If any minister dared to live with him, he would move his head and the whole family, because at that time he was the head of the hundred officials.
First, gain trust
When Yang Guang was still the crown prince, he needed guards to protect him, and he could have chosen an army from elsewhere to protect Yang Guang, and Yu Wenhua told Emperor Wen of Sui at that time that he, as a janissary officer of the Eastern Palace, should protect the safety of the prince. Yang Guang still trusted Yu Wenhua, after all, Yu Wenhua and his father had made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty.
When Yang Guang was young, he was a very scheming person, and it just so happened that Yu Wenhua and such a person, the two people were very close, and they became familiar with each other when they came and went. Yang Guang also has great trust in Yu Wenhua and is of course also in political considerations, and he also wants to cultivate a force of his own.
When Yang Guang destroyed the Chen Dynasty, Yu Wenhua accompanied Yang Guang, deeply afraid that Yang Guang would be in danger, and every time he confronted the Chen Dynasty, Yu Wenhua and he rushed to the front, which made Yang Guang very moved. After destroying the Chen Dynasty, back in Chang'an, Emperor Wen of Sui was also very pleased to learn that Yu Wenhua and Yang Guang were so protective, and he was about to promote Yu Wenhua and his official to a higher level.
After more than ten years, Emperor Wen of Sui was old, but he still had no idea who would inherit the throne, after all, he had three sons, each of whom was very good. Although Yang Guang bribed many ministers to help him, Yang Guang's other two sons also secretly chen cang, which was difficult to deal with.
In the ancient court, the competition for the throne was very cruel, and if Yang Guang could not ascend to the throne, the whole family would die, because the emperor who had ascended to the throne since ancient times would not treat his brothers kindly. Just when Yang Guang's heart was on fire, Yu Wenhua and Yang Guang walked up to Yang Guang and said that it would be better to kill Emperor Wen of Sui and ascend the throne as emperor.
Emperor Wen of Sui was Yang Guang's father, and how could Yang Guang get his hands on it, he refused. Yu Wenhua and seeing that Yang Guang was so weak, he told Yang Guang that the Forbidden Army was his person, but it was indeed foolproof. When Yang Guang heard Yu Wenhua and said this, he really killed his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, and ascended the throne himself.
2. Attempts to usurp the throne
In order to thank Yu Culture and, Yang Guang gave Yu Culture and more and more rights, which can be said to be the power of the opposition. Gaining important official positions in the court, Yu Wenhua intervened in the government and framed the officials who opposed him. Many officials were dissatisfied with him, so they sued the emperor, Yang Guangyi protected Yu culture and made big things small and small things small.
In fact, the Sui Dynasty seems to be a great unification, but there are still many contradictions, and the generals who hold military power in various places are in civil war with each other, either this city is breached or that city is destroyed, and the people are displaced and miserable. Yang Guang did not care about the lives of the people at all, he ordered people to build the Grand Canal, this project is very huge, requiring human and financial resources.
At that time, the tax revenue of the Sui Dynasty was simply unable to support such a large project, so Yang Guang ordered all localities to increase taxes and seize the young and middle-aged people to build the Grand Canal. The common people were completely angry, and increasing taxes was tantamount to taking their lives, and all localities began to rise up, resisting paying taxes and refusing to build the Grand Canal.
This angered Yang Guang, and when Yang Guang held a pre-imperial meeting, the minister of the DPRK and the Central Government advised Yang Guang not to build the Grand Canal, and that it was not a good thing for uprisings to break out in various places, and advised Yang Guang that he should appease the people. Yu Wenhua and accusing the ministers of greed and fear of death, he told Yang Guang that for those who resisted paying taxes and were unwilling to build the Grand Canal, there was only one word: "kill"
Yang Guang also felt that as the Son of Heaven, his orders were actually not obeyed, so he asked Yu Wenhua to deal with this matter. Yu Wenhua was playing his own wishful thinking, as long as the people who suppressed those uprisings were more intense, the more those people would hate Yang Guang, which laid the groundwork for his future rebellion.
Within a few years, Yang Guang wanted to show his skills, wanted to destroy Goguryeo in Liaodong and turn Liaodong into the territory of the Great Sui. So he personally led his troops to attack Goguryeo, the first conquest was unsuccessful, he was not convinced, decided the second conquest, so three consecutive conquests still did not succeed!
Yang Guangmi was unable to conquer Goguryeo and led his army back to Chang'an. As a result, Li Mi, the leader of the Wagangzhai army, deliberately did not let Yang Guang's army return. Yang Guang originally wanted to clean up Li Mi, but was advised by Yu Wenhua that it was better to stay in Jiangdu for a while and then return to Chang'an when the time was ripe. Yang Guang still agreed to Yu Wenhuahe's suggestion and sent a large army to garrison Jiangdu.
3. Establish yourself as emperor
You must know that many of the soldiers brought by Yang Guang are Chang'an people, they miss their hometown, and many soldiers are old and young, so they have a grudge against Yang Guang. In their opinion, Yang Guang only knew that he was comfortable, and he didn't care about the lives of these soldiers at all, and let Yu Wenhua and rebel.
Yu Wenhua waited for this day, so he joined forces with those soldiers to kill Yang Guang in Jiangdu. Yu Wenhua returned to Chang'an with his soldiers, and now that he had taken control of the situation in Chang'an, he assisted Yang Guang's grandson in the position of emperor. The other ministers of Chang'an wanted to use the little emperor to abolish Yu Wenhua and the family, so they wanted to launch a coup d'état to destroy Yu Wenhua and his family, and Yu Wenhua became angry and angry, and after punishing some ministers, he deposed the little emperor.
Looking at the golden dragon chair, Yu Wenhua and then called the emperor, Yu Culture who put on the dragon robe and enjoyed the worship of the civil and military officials, and also said a famous saying throughout the ages: "Life should be dead, isn't it a day for the emperor?" This sentence is enough to show Yu Wenhua and what a sinister and cunning person he is.
This is not nothing, the most shameless thing is that Yu Wenhua and also chose Yang Guang's most favored empress, Empress Xiao, into his harem. If Empress Xiao did not comply, she would kill Empress Xiao, and Empress Xiao could only survive from Yu Wenhua. Yu Wenhua and eventually were expelled from the throne by many Soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty and died elsewhere.
4. Summary
There is only one fate of chaotic courtiers and thieves since ancient times, that is, a dead end. Yu Wenhua and the attempt to usurp the throne by usurping Yang Guang's trust are already capital crimes. Back in Chang'an, Yu Wenhua, who ascended to the throne, and even more chaotic Chao Gang, occupied Yang Guang's empress day and night.
At that time, the ministers in the court dared not speak out, and when the time came, they would unite to eliminate Yu Wenhua and the traitors of the cholera court, and finally Yu Wenhua and the guests died in another place.
