Two Jin Dynasty And Northern and Southern Dynasties Character Zhi - (104) Yuwen Yun father and son
Who is the most indebted country in the history of the Three Kingdoms? Many people think it is Shu Han, but I think it is Cao Wei. After all, it was the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms, and it also destroyed the Shu Han, but eventually transformed into the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family. Cao Mengde knew underground that he was afraid that he would blow up Sima Yi's head.
After three hundred years, history staged a strange coincidence on the land of China - the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which destroyed Northern Qi in one fell swoop and aimed to unify China, became a past tense three years after Yuwen Yong's death. The speed of time is unexpected.
This problem still lies in Yuwen Yong himself.
Despite being a nine-five-year-old, Yuwen Yong's demands on himself have always been ascetic. This should be a good thing for the emperor, after all, if the palace saves a little, the treasury will be filled a little; the problem is that he has continued this fierce style to his own godson's way, which is a bit problematic.
For Prince Yuwen Yun, Yuwen Yong's requirements were extremely high. Maybe it was the hope that Qing was better than Blue out of blue, or maybe it was really that he didn't like him everywhere, anyway, Yuwen Yong never had a good look for him. From the beginning of Yuwen Yun's understanding, the most heard old father said was:
There were several people who were deposed by the prince of Gulai, and Yu'er could not bear to be evil!
In addition to daily intimidation, Yuwen Yong also advocated the concept of filial piety with sticks and sticks, and often disciplined his son personally. As long as Yuwen Yun did something out of the ordinary, he personally picked up the horse whip and went to education. What's more, he even ordered the officials in the Eastern Palace to report to him every month on the prince's every move. Nine hundred years before the invention of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Yuwen Yong used the secret service agency in practical work, which can be described as ahead of his thinking.
Under this strict discipline, Yuwen Yun put away all his desires and dressed himself as a well-behaved boy. And Yuwen Yong, who was busy with conquest, gradually relaxed his flogging of his son, and the relationship between father and son gradually eased until after Yuwen Yong's death.
Of course, Yuwen Yun was saddened by his father's death; but after a brief period of grief, he recognized a fact that made him ecstatic—from then on, no one in the world could control him anymore; the only father who could restrain him was gone, and he was going to become the father of the people of the world.
After understanding this, Yuwen Yun began his large-scale celebration:
Da Xing was in the funeral, and there was no qi Rong, that is, the people of the former imperial palace who were chaotic.
When Yuwen Yong's body had not yet been carried out of the palace, Yuwen Yun didn't even bother to pretend to be sad, and began to do things that he couldn't bear to look at directly in front of his father's coffin.
According to the rules, although the emperor at this time was already Yuwen Yun, the era name still had to be used by his father; and less than a month after changing the yuan to "Dacheng" in the following year, the northern Zhou era name was changed to "elephant", which was quite inexplicable.
Behind this change of era name, there is another more inexplicable thing, that is, Yuwen Yun, who was just twenty years old, ceded the throne to his six-year-old son Yuwen Yan. It is reasonable to say that this kind of thing is not the first time that this kind of thing has appeared, and Tuoba Hong, the Emperor of Xianwen, has done so during the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, after Tuoba Hong abdicated the throne, he became the Taishang Emperor, and Yuwen Yun gave himself a new title, emperor of Tianyuan.
At that time, Tuoba Hong and Empress Feng's mother and son were out of harmony, and the Zen position was considered to be the result of the political game of the court; at this time, inside and outside the Northern Zhou court, the power to restrain Yuwen Yun was almost non-existent. His reason for Zen is actually very simple and outrageous – fun.
After the Zen position, the regalia are extravagant. Those who are procrastinating in the harem, or who do not come out of the day, and who are close to the secretary of state, are accompanied by castrated officials. The palace where he lived, the drapery was decorated with gold and jade jewelry, and the glory was dazzling, extremely beautiful and luxurious. And the Luoyang Palace, although it has not yet been completed, its rules are magnificent, surpassing han and Wei Yuanyi.
In addition to being extravagant and wasting money, Yuwen Yun also likes to do another thing, which is to change his name. He changed his name not only for himself, but also for his family and the people of the world.
After renaming himself Emperor Tianyuan, Yuwen Yun changed the names of the women around him--he gave his mother a title called Empress Dowager, and then gave his eldest wife and little wives the Heavenly Empress, the Heavenly Left Empress, and the Heavenly Right Empress, respectively; later, it was not enough, and he got another Heavenly Empress. The position of "empress" that may have been vacant for a long time in other dynasties is as cheap as a charge for a phone bill in Yuwen Yun.
Although it is strange to change the title of his wife, after all, it is a matter of his own family and has little to do with ordinary officials and gentry; but Yuwen Yun himself wants to monopolize the terms of high, big, heaven, and upper, and cannot be used by others, which is excessive:
People who do not listen to people are called the highest and the greatest, the surnames of the high are changed to Jiang, and the nine ethnic groups call the high ancestor the long ancestor, and the former second elder ancestor. The title of the official shall be changed to the length of those who are superior and great, and to those who have heaven. He also made the cars under the sky become wheels, and the women of the forbidden world were not allowed to apply powder, but the palace people had to ride on the spokes and add powder to the car.
After tossing and turning for two years, Yuwen Yun finally died on the four words of wine-colored wealth, and was under the age of 21 all year round. Before his death, he issued an edict to let several brothers and princes enter the imperial government, but unfortunately, before the people arrived, he swallowed his breath first.
At the time of the change of power, the most feared thing is that the lord is less suspicious of the country. Originally, Yuwen Yun himself was an unclear child, and his eight-year-old son could only be a doll, especially his old husband, who was still Yang Zhong's son.
When Yuwen Yun had entered a coma and was barely breathing his last breath, his father-in-law Yang Jian (杨健) announced that he would preside over the government. In less than a year, he had eaten the Zen set that had been on the table for three hundred years. In the end, he deposed his grandson as the Duke of Jieguo and killed him shortly afterwards.
Subsequently, in order to cut the grass and remove the roots, Yang Jian used various excuses to kill almost all the sons of the Northern Zhou imperial family since Yuwen Tai. Thinking that when Yang Zhong sacrificed himself to fight a tiger to save Yuwen Tai, but his son slaughtered Yu Wentai's children and grandchildren, history is really ironic and ruthless enough.
Politicians about the Northern Dynasty are officially over here. According to common sense, I should turn to the Southern Dynasty and talk about the guy who is famous in the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, before the final curtain, I would like to talk about some influential figures in the history of the Northern Dynasty who did not attract attention but were influential enough to make a final greeting for the curtain of the Northern Dynasty. So, who are they?
We'll talk about it next time.
