In 579, at the age of seven, Yuwen Yan ascended the throne as emperor and four months later was crowned empress Dowager Sima Lingji, and Emperor Xian died of a serious illness the following year at the age of twenty-two. His maternal grandfather Yang Jian, as a chancellor, assisted the Zhou Jing Emperor Yuwen Yan, who after ascending the throne, implemented benevolent government, abandoned various heavy projects, reduced the burden on the peasants, and released the guilty people in the world, and gave the concubines of the former emperors their names one by one, and gave titles to the ministers one by one.
After Emperor Xuan's death, Emperor Jing dressed Emperor Xuan in filial piety, and during the period of filial piety, the state affairs were entrusted to Yang Jian, and hundreds of officials submitted to his management, which fueled Yang Jian's ambitions, and he designed that Emperor Jing, who had only been emperor for two years, give up the emperor's dragon chair and retire to another palace. Because during Yang Jian's reign as emperor, the young Emperor Jing did not submit to him in his heart, and many times the dynasty clashed with Yang Jian, and Emperor Jing's mother and queen also had suicidal thoughts about this matter. In order to sit firmly in Jiangshan, Yang Jian sent people to kill Emperor Jing, and found Yuwen Luo, who had always obeyed him, who was also the Yuwen family, as a puppet, and then buried Emperor Jing in the imperial tomb in the imperial ceremony.
In 581, as the Emperor of northern Zhou, The Zhou Jing Emperor Yuwen Xian was killed, Northern Zhou fell, Yang Jian took the throne, established the Sui Dynasty, and later the people of the Yuwen family were killed by Yang Jian in various ways, and his empress survived, but also remarried the officials of the Sui Dynasty.

What is the relationship between Yuwen And Yang Jian
What is the relationship between Yuwen Yan and Yang Jian? The Northern Zhou border was violated by the Rubran people, and the officials saw that Yuwen Xian was young and unable to manage state affairs, so they asked Yang Jian to ascend the throne and become king, Yang Jian was loyal and upright, and refused the officials' requests on the spot, but Dugu shi persuaded Yang Jian to accept the election. Yang Jian had no choice but to agree to be proclaimed emperor. At the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, after years of integration of various ethnic groups, although the north was still a Hu regime, the actual power had been held by the Han people, and Yang Jian was the representative. The Han clan also supported the Han people to regain power, and when Emperor Yuwen of Northern Zhou died, only orphans and widows were left, and Yang Jian seized power and used Northern Zhou Yuwei to destroy Southern Chen and reunify.
Shortly after Yuwen Yan ascended to the court, Yang Jian came to the court to accept the election of officials, Yuwen Xian's mother learned that her son was overthrown by Yang Jian, and returned to the room to commit suicide in grief, and Dugu Shi saved Yu WenYi's mother on the spot, saying that she wanted to marry Yuwen Xian's mother, and later Yuwen Xian's mother must call Du Gu Shi the mother queen.
Yang Jian officially declared himself emperor in 581 AD, changing the name of the country to Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Explained that his grandfather had become emperor, his heart was very dissatisfied, on the spot said that he would not kneel to Yang Jian, Yuwen Xian's mother looked scared and begged Yang Jian not to see yang Jian in general. What is the relationship between Yuwen Yan and Yang Jian? The birth mother of Emperor Jing of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yan, was Empress Dowager Zhu Manyue, not Yang Jian's daughter Yang Lihua, and Yang Lihua only had one daughter left, so the two were not related by blood. Yang Jian was not Yuwen Yan's grandfather, but the Dugu Empress adopted Yuwen Yan's mother Zhu Manyue as a righteous daughter, so Yuwen Yan should naturally be called Yang Jian's grandfather. Therefore, it is known that Yuwen Yan is Yang Jian's grandfather, but not his maternal grandfather.
Yuwen explained how he died
Yuwen Yan was born in 573, his original name was Yuwen Yan, a member of the Xianbei tribe, his father was Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou, and his mother was the empress at that time, and he was also the last person to ascend to the emperor's throne in the Northern Zhou Period, in 579 he became the crown prince, at that time he was only six years old, but what people did not expect was that he died in 581, that is to say, Yu Wenxian only lived for nine years, so how did Yu Wenxian die?
The question of how Yuwen Xian died is clearly recorded in history, he was the first son of Emperor Xuan of Northern Xuan, so he was always loved by Emperor Xuan after his birth in the Eastern Palace, and began to become the King of Lu in 579, and became the crown prince half a month later. He ascended to the throne as emperor in just a month, when he was only seven years old. However, at that time, he was still a child who did not understand anything, and the government was almost in the hands of Yang Jian, the Duke of Suiguo, and after Yang Jian became the Chancellor of the Left Dynasty, hundreds of officials in the imperial court began to obey his orders.
In 581, Yuwen Xian ceded his throne to Yang Jian, and he himself moved to live in the other palace, which was also something he did in desperation, Yang Jian first made him the Duke of Jieguo, and also promised him some territory according to the Northern Zhou system, but in fact did not take any action. It was after this that Yang Jian felt that Yuwen Yan's existence was always a threat, so after establishing the Sui Dynasty, he sent his own henchmen to secretly kill Yu Wenxian, and after his death, Yang Jian also pretended to be very surprised, and used a very solemn ceremony to pay tribute to him, so Yuwen Xian died at the hands of Yang Jian.
