The mountain will collapse, and it will be because of the uprooting. The tree will be folded, all by scorpions. When the kingdom is about to perish, there will be demons. If Fu Tianyuan and Zhou Zhiyi are also strange, are they strange enough?
Tianyuan, also known as the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, was the fourth emperor of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yun. Later historians' evaluation of this Tianyuan Emperor was mostly not very good, and Yu Shinan's evaluation of Zhou Zhi's evil was still a more subtle statement. For example, Sima Guang commented on it as: Tianyuan is very violent and irritable. It can be seen that Yuwen Yun is really a dimwitted lord, but it is worth mentioning that he has accidentally achieved an emperor for thousands of years.
Yuwen Yun
In the first year of Wucheng (559), Yuwen Yun was born in Tongzhou, and it should be said that he was born at the right time. At that time, his father Yuwen Yong was still only a Duke of Lu, but when he was one year old, Yuwen Yong became the emperor. Therefore, when he was two years old, the position of Duke of Lu was given to his eldest son, and at the age of thirteen he was made crown prince. Emperor Yuwen Yong of Zhou Wu was a good emperor, he was intelligent and far-sighted, and he had the wisdom to judge big things.
Twelve years after ascending to the throne, he killed The Power Minister Yuwen Hu, took sole control of the government, and was still able to live frugally and care for the sufferings of the people in a timely manner. Rectify the administration of officials, make the politics of Northern Zhou clear, and the people's lives stable. Logically, under the guidance of such a father, Yuwen Yun should be able to lead Northern Zhou further. However, although Yuwen Yong was strict with the education of the prince, he raised a faint prince. Yuwen Yun was industrious in front of his father and emperor, and was actually a person who coveted beauty and pleasure.
Extremely drowsy
On the day he was thirteen years old, he ran to the cell not far away, not for anything else. But for a beautiful woman, that is, the later Tianyuan Emperor Zhu Full Moon, Zhu Full Moon was submerged in the palace because of the guilt of her family, and she looked like a flower at the age of twenty-five. Yuwen Yun somehow learned of a beautiful person in the cell, and actually ran over on the day of his canonization, which showed that he was overwhelmed. Not long after, Zhu Manyue was assigned to the Eastern Palace to take charge of the management of clothes for Yuwen Yun.
The following year, he gave birth to his son Yuwen Yan, and in the year that Yuwen Yan was born, Yuwen Yun also married Yang Lihua as the crown princess. Yang Lihua is a noble and noble daughter, the eldest daughter of Yang Jian and Lonely Garo, with a gentle personality. But he could not persuade his husband's words and deeds, and Yuwen Yun had to observe filial piety for a month according to the rules after his father's death. As a result, ten days later, he took off his filial piety to celebrate his ascension to the throne, and he took the throne and indulged in wine, following the example of Later Zhao Emperor Shi Hu.
Father-in-law usurped the throne
Even five empresses stood side by side, and the national election of beauties to enrich the harem. He wantonly decorated the palace, inflicted indiscriminate punishments, and killed the emperor's uncle Yuwen Xian of Qi. However, Yuwen Yun's dimwitting, but by mistake, gave Yang Jian a chance, and Yuwen Yun tossed and turned to toss his body down. On May 24, 580, the second year of the elephant (580), he died at the age of 22, and Liu Fang and Zheng Yi took the opportunity to forge an edict to let Yang Jianfuzheng.
As early as when Yuwen Yun was drunk and dreaming of death, Yang Jian wantonly seized power, and summoned the powerful king of the domain to the capital to suppress it in the name that Yuwen Zhao, the king of Zhao, was going to marry a daughter in the Turks. Most of the officials in the imperial court were his men, and in June of the same year, The Governor of Xiang prefecture, Wei Chi, the governor of Xiangzhou, Sima Quenan, the governor of Yun Prefecture, and Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou, raised troops one after another.
However, Yang Jian ordered Wei Xiaokuan, the Duke of Shangzhu and the Duke of Yun, to send troops, and after the mutiny was settled, no one could compete with him for power. In February of the first year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (581), Yang Jian was made the King of Sui by the Duke of Sui, and in the same month, Emperor Jing of Northern Zhou announced the Zen concession with yang Jian's expectations. Yang Jiansan was given the Mandate of Heaven, set the name of the country sui, and changed the name of the country to Emperor Kai.
The hero of an wanshi
Yang Jian can also be regarded as a rare lord of great talent and strategy, in zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation: those who have the virtue of the king of the world and the merits of an eternal world are also. After unifying the whole country, he carried out a series of reforms in the political, economic and other aspects of the system, and revised the criminal law and system. Many tax cuts have been made to reduce the burden on people and promote national industrial production.
Adopting a policy of military defense and political appeasement for the surrounding ethnic groups, it effectively handled ethnic contradictions, and was respected by the ethnic minorities in the north as "saint khans". However, in his later years, like most monarchs, he gradually became suspicious and dim-witted, and listened to the words of the Empress of Literature and established Yang Guang to lay the foundation for the subjugation of the country.
