On March 18 of the seventh year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (572 CE), Yuwen Hu, a powerful minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, returned to Chang'an. Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was very face-saving to the courtiers, and after greeting him at the Wen'an Palace, they went to see the empress dowager together. Yuwen Yong has always had great respect for his cousin Yuwen Yong for his own life and the throne, and he has always performed family gifts, so Yuwen Hu is accompanied by Yuwen Yong when he sees the empress dowager, and after the empress dowager gives the throne, Yuwen Yong, as the emperor, stands and accompanies him.
Yuwen Hu
At the time of this visit, Yuwen Yong first took a "Wine Curse" outside the palace and said to Yuwen Hu, "The empress dowager is old and loves to drink, and the wine is not good, and she loves to lose her temper randomly, hoping that her cousin will persuade her." Yuwen Hu felt that there was nothing, entered the ceremony, after the ceremony was completed, he took the "Wine Curse" to read there, Yuwen Yong took the opportunity to sneak attack with the jade wat from behind, how many years of fear, all at once out, Yuwen Hu was knocked unconscious by a board on the ground. Yuwen Yong also ordered the eunuch He Quan to take the imperial sword and slash, and He Quan was afraid and did not dare to exert himself. Fortunately, the Wei King, who had been hiding beforehand, rushed out and killed him. In this way, Yuwen Hu, the founder of Northern Zhou, killed Yuwen Hu of three emperors (Emperor Gong of Western Wei, Emperor Xiaomin of Northern Zhou, and Emperor Ming of Northern Zhou) in his lifetime, and ended in such a humiliating way!
The power that was killed
After reading this story, do you think that it is similar to Kangxi Zhiaobai, it is indeed too similar!!
Catch the Ao bye
First of all, Yuwen Yong and Kangxi were both young and lonely, and they had nothing to rely on in the name of righteousness.
Second, Yuwen Hu and Ao Bai are not stupid people, but they have stepped up to the top of the power by virtue. Both were powerful ministers
Third, yuwen hu and Aobai are still people who know how to repay the favor. Yuwen Hu was raised by Yuwen Tai from an early age, and after Yuwen Tai's death, he inherited Yuwen Tai's legacy to establish northern Zhou, and at the same time supported Yuwen Tai's son as emperor from beginning to end; Ao Bai had received the great favor of Emperor Taiji and Shunzhi, and also had no idea about Kangxi's throne. It can be said that these two are real powerful ministers, not traitors and mediocre ministers.
Fourth, if the king is not secret, he will lose his subjects, and if the subjects do not secretly lose their bodies, a few things that are not secret will be harmed. Both the Northern Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong and Kangxi were well versed in this way. The confidentiality work is done well, and it is a one-hit kill.
Reading history can be wise, watching Yuwen Yong kill Yuwen Hu, profoundly proves the sentence "Open a meeting to do small things, open a small meeting to do big things, do not hold a meeting to do the most important things, and only impulsively can do things that break the sky."
