Chen Ji-Yang Jian usurped Zhou

Core elaboration: Yang Jian usurped Zhou

Example: Empress Yang of Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou was gentle by nature and never jealous. The other four empresses and harem concubines and concubines all respected her very much. Emperor Xuan was faint and violent, moody, and often reprimanded Empress Yang and wanted to blame her. Empress Yang behaved indifferently and her words did not yield, and Emperor Xuan was furious and ordered Empress Yang to be killed, forcing her to cut herself off. Empress Yang's mother, Du Gushi, went to the emperor to plead guilty and knocked her head on the blood, so that Empress Yang was spared. Empress Yang's father, Yang Jian, was of noble status and prominent, and Emperor Xuan had always been jealous of him, and once rebuked Empress Yang in anger, saying, I will definitely exterminate your family. So he summoned Yang Jian and said to the left and right, carefully observe Yang Jian's face, if there is anything unusual, immediately kill him. After Yang Jian arrived, he looked at ease, and Emperor Xuan was relieved and let him go for the time being. When Zheng Yi and Yang Jian were young classmates, they thought that Yang Jian was a very rare figure, so he devoted himself to fellowship with him. Since Yang Jian had already been suspected by Emperor Xuan, his heart was always troubled, and he once quietly said to Zheng Yi in the harem, I have always been looking forward to becoming a magistrate, which you also know, please help me pay more attention. Zheng Yi said, with your virtue and hope, you will certainly be able to return to the hearts of the subjects of the world, I want to ask for more blessings for you in the future, how dare I forget your things? I will definitely find the right opportunity to help you speak. Emperor Xuan wanted to send Zheng Yi on a southern expedition, and Zheng Yi asked Emperor Xuan to appoint a marshal. Emperor Xuan asked, Among the people, who do you think is the most suitable? Zheng Yi replied that if he wanted to pacify Jiangdong, if it were not for the emperor's relatives and nobles, he would not be able to subdue the army. It would be better to let him travel with his father and appoint him as the governor of Shouyang to take charge of the military. Emperor Xuan readily agreed. With Yang Jian as the governor of Yangzhou, he sent Zheng Yi to send troops to the south. When he was about to go on the expedition, Yang Jian suddenly fell ill with a foot disease and could not make the trip. In the middle of the night, Emperor Xuan prepared a carriage in front of Wang Tianxing Palace. At the end of the day, Emperor Xuan felt unwell and returned to the palace. Xiao Yuzheng Liu Fang had always liked to be flattered and was favored by Emperor Xuan, and he and Yan Zhiyi, the Grand Master of Yuzhengzhong, were both the closest and most trusted people of Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan summoned Liu Fang and Yan Zhiyi into the palace and wanted to command the aftermath, when Emperor Xuan's voice was so dumb that he could not speak. Liu Fang knew that Emperor Jing was still young, and Yang Jian was the empress's father, which was very prestigious, so he discussed with Zheng Yi of Lingnei Shi, Liu Qiu the Imperial Physician, Wei Wei (mó), and Emperor Fuji, the corporal of Yuzheng, and decided to let Yang Jian assist the government. Yang Jian found an excuse to pretend to resign, saying that he did not dare to bear this heavy responsibility. Liu Fang said, if you can serve as an assistant, please accept the appointment immediately, if you refuse to accept it, I myself will accept this position. Yang Jian reluctantly agreed to this, saying to the outside world that he was ordered by Emperor Xuan to stay in the palace to serve Emperor Xuan. On the same day, Emperor Xuan died, and after consultation, everyone decided not to mourn. Liu Fang and Zheng Yi falsely transmitted the Holy Will and appointed Yang Jian to be in charge of Chinese and foreign soldiers and horses. Yan Zhiyi knew that this was not Emperor Xuan's intention, and resolutely refused to carry out the order. Liu Fang and the others drafted the edict, signed their names, forced Yan Zhiyi to sign, Yan Zhiyi shouted loudly, the lord died, the heirs were young, the great task of assisting the government should be handed over to the capable people in the clan, and now king Zhao is the oldest, whether it is from the perspective of closeness to the royal family or virtue, he should bear this heavy responsibility. You have been favored by the court, you should think of being loyal to the country, how can you easily hand over the imperial power to outsiders? I would rather die today than deceive the Emperor. Liu Fang and others knew that he would not obey his fate when he died, so he signed in place of Yan Zhiyi, and then issued an edict. All the Janissaries accepted the edict and obeyed Yang Jian's command. Yang Jian was worried about what would happen to the kings of the clan, so he summoned the five kings of Zhao, Chen, Yue, Dai, and Teng into the dynasty under the pretext that Princess Qianjin was going to marry a distant Turk. After they entered the dynasty, Yang Jian immediately asked for the rune seals and jade seals on their bodies, and Yan Zhiyi said sternly, the rune seal belongs to the heavenly son of heaven, and naturally there are suitable people in charge, so why should the prime minister ask for it? Yang Jian was furious and ordered his men to pull Yan Zhiyi out, originally wanting to kill him, but taking into account his prestige, he sent him to the west to serve as a county guard. Ding Wei, Northern Zhou mourned the deceased Emperor Xuan. Emperor Jing entered Jutiantai and ordered the abolition of the name of Zhengyang Palace. Then he issued an edict to pardon the world and stop the construction of Luoyang Palace. When Yang Jian accepted Emperor Xuan's will, he sent Yang Hui, the Duke of Han (hán), to tell Li Delin, the grand master of the Imperial Household, that the imperial court had given the order to be in charge of civil and military affairs, and that he wanted to handle the affairs of the dynasty with you, so please do not resign. Li Delin said that he was willing to serve Yang Gong with death. Yang Jian was very happy. Initially, Liu Fang and Zheng Yi discussed that they wanted Yang Jian to serve as Otsuka Zai, Zheng Yi himself as the Grand Sima and Liu Fang as Xiao Tsukasa Zai. Yang Jian secretly asked Li Delin in private, for this matter, how do you think I should handle it more appropriately? Li Delin said that he should be the grand chancellor and the fake Huang Yu (official name), and supervise all the Chinese and foreign military forces, otherwise, he would not be able to subdue the people. After mourning Emperor Xuan, Yang Jian immediately acted according to Li Delin's advice. And the Zhengyang Palace was changed to the Xiangfu Mansion. At that time, the imperial court was still unstable, and Yang Jian appointed Lu Ben, the sergeant of Siwu, to accompany him. Yang Jian was about to go to the Eastern Palace, and the hundred officials didn't know if they wanted to follow him. Yang Jian privately asked Lu Ben to arrange a fully armed janissary, and then summoned hundreds of officials and said that those who wanted to get rich and noble would follow me. For a moment, the hundred officials did not know how to be good, whispered, and hesitated to leave. At this time, Lu Ben entered with a heavily armed janissary, and none of the people dared to move. Yang Jian and the hundred officials went out of the Chongyang Gate and went to the East Palace, the doorman would not let them enter, Lu Ben told them the situation, and the doorman still did not let them in. Lu Ben's eyes widened in disgust, and the doorman was frightened and kept retreating. Later, Yang Jian made Zheng Yi the governor of the XiangFu, Liu Fang as Sima and Li Delin as the subordinates, and Zheng and Liu became resentful of Li Delin. The Great Physician of the Inner History, Gao Jiao, was a broad-minded and sensitive person, familiar with the art of war, and had a lot of scheming. Yang Jian wanted to do it for himself and sent Yang Hui to convey his wishes to Gao Jiao. Gao Hao gladly accepted that he was willing to obey the arrangement of the prime minister. Even if Ling Gong could not succeed in one fell swoop, Gao Hao was also destroyed by the scourge of the clan. So Yang Jian asked him to be the Xiangfu Silu. At that time, Yuwen Zan, the King of Han, lived in the palace and sat with Yang Jian every time. Liu Fang often offered beautiful prostitutes to the King of Han, and Yuwen Zan was very happy. Liu Fang took the opportunity to tell Yuwen Zan that the Great King was the younger brother of Emperor Xian, which can be said to be the result of everyone's expectations. When today's son is still young, how can he take on big things? Now that the first emperor has collapsed and people are troubled, the king of Han might as well return to the throne for the time being, and wait until the situation is slightly stable, and then come back to claim the emperor, which is a perfect strategy. Yuwen Zan was young and mediocre, and thought that Liu Fang's words were very reasonable, so he followed his advice. Yang Jian announced the abolition of the harsh rule of emperor Xuan, the implementation of leniency, the revision of the original decree, and the "Penal Book System", which was promulgated and implemented after it was played. He personally practiced the path of frugality, and the government and the public respected him very much. Later, the kings' crusade against Yang Jian all ended in failure, and Yang Jian also killed him one by one, and finally the Outer Annei, the Jing Emperor Chan gave way to The Emperor at Yang Jian, and there was a Sui Dynasty with "the rule of the Kai Emperor".
