Yuwen Xian was the fifth son of Emperor Wen of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Tai, and was intelligent and astute. Yuwen Tai once wanted to give several sons good horses and take him
They took them to the racecourse and let them choose for themselves.
Everyone chose horses with pure fur, only Yuwen Xian chose a miscellaneous horse, Yuwen Tai asked him why, he replied: "This horse has a different coat color than other horses, maybe it runs faster." When it comes to fighting, who chooses the best horse will naturally be able to tell. "
Yuwen Tai said happily, "This child is very intelligent, and he will certainly become a great instrument in the future."
Later, every time Yuwen Tai saw a hairy horse, he would say, "This is my child's horse." He would order the people to take the horse and give it to Yuwen Xian.
After Yuwen Tai pacified shu land, because the terrain of Shu was dangerous and very rich, he did not want to let the generals guard it, and wanted to be among his sons
Pick one and ask them who wants to go.
Before the others could answer, Yuwen Xian begged to let him go.
Yuwen Tai said to him, "The history of thorns should appease the people and govern the people, you can't do this." And in order of age, you should let your brother go. "
Yuwen Finish said: "Everyone's talent and age have nothing to do with each other. If I am not allowed to govern well, I am willing to accept my sins. Yuwen Tai was very happy, but because Yuwen Xian was too young, he still did not let him go.
After Emperor Ming ascended the throne, he remembered that Yuwen Xian had this idea and appointed him as the governor of Yizhou.
【Yuwen Xian】
Yu Wenxian was only 16 years old at the time, and after he took office, he was very able to govern, no matter how many official duties he had, he could handle it in an orderly manner.
Later, Yuwen Xian and Yuwen Hu attacked Northern Qi together, and Wei Chiyi took the lead and surrounded Luoyang.
Suddenly tens of thousands of Qi troops appeared behind them, and the whole army was greatly frightened. Only Yuwen Xian and Wang Xiong, Da Xiwu and others led an army to meet the battle, Wang Xiong was killed by the Qi army, and the morale of the Zhou army was low. Zi Wenxian immediately personally supervised the battle, which encouraged the earthy atmosphere.
At that time, Yuwen Hu was in power and was very close to Yuwen Xian, and let him participate in everything. Yuwen Xian and Zi Wen Hu have a very good relationship, Yuwen
After Hu was killed, Yuwen Xian was afraid that he was implicated, so he apologized to Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou.
Emperor Wu of northern Zhou said to him: "The world was the world that Gao Zu laid down in those years, and after I inherited Jiangshan, I was often afraid of losing it, Yuwen protected his eyes without a monarch, and he committed a crime and plotted against him, so I killed him." You are my brother, flesh and blood, and you are not involved in this matter, there is no need to apologize. "
That being said, because Yuwen Xian's reputation was too high and Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou was still wary of him, he nominally promoted his officials, but in fact weakened his military power.
Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou
Later, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou fell seriously ill, and Yuwen Zhi, the King of Wei, took the opportunity to rebel.
Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou came to Yuwen Xian and said to him, "Do you know about the rebellion of king Wei?"
Yuwen Xian said, "I didn't know it before, but I don't know until I hear What Your Majesty has said." If Yuwen Zhi really rebelled, it would be self-destruction. "
Emperor Wu of northern Zhou said, "You set off with your troops immediately, and I will arrive immediately."
Yuwen Zhi was defeated and fled soon after.
After Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou returned to the capital, he said to Yuwen Xian: "Guan and Cai were killed and Zhou Gong was supplemented, and the difference in people's hearts and faces are the same, but brothers and relatives kill each other, which is something I have always regretted."
At the beginning, Yuwen Zhi was very jealous of Yu Wenxian, and Yu Wenxian had always been patient with him.
When Yuwen Hu was killed, Yuwen Zhi insisted on killing Yu Wenxian, and Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou said, "I know Yuwen Xian's heart, don't treat him."
What doubts. "
After the empress dowager's death, Yuwen Zhi falsely accused Yu Wenxian of still drinking wine and eating meat during the mourning period, and Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou said: "Neither Yuwen Xian nor Yuwen Xian is righteous
My wife was born, and it is reasonable to say that I and his inheritance rights are the same, but instead of fighting with me for the throne, he came to support me, and you should be ashamed to say that others have committed mistakes. You are the son of the empress dowager, and you have so much favoritism, just take care of yourself, don't care about others. "
Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou wanted to attack Northern Qi, and he only consulted with Neishi Wangyi, and no one else knew about it. Because Yu Wenxian's talent is very high, he also revealed this matter to him, and Yu Wenxian was very much in favor. When the army set out, Yuwen Xian requested that his property be donated to the army, but Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou did not agree.
He made Yuwen Xian the forward and attacked Liyang, and Yuwen Xian was victorious, but later withdrew his troops because Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou was ill.
The following year, Northern Zhou attacked Northern Qi again, and Yuwen Xian once again served as a forward, winning the warplane for the Zhou army.
Northern Zhou destroyed Northern Qi, and Yuwen Xian made a great contribution.
Yuwen Xian also knew that he had great merit and authority, and began to secretly consider the matter of retirement.
When Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou wanted to personally lead an expedition to the Turks, Yuwen Xian pretended that he was ill and did not want to follow the army. Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou suddenly changed his face and said, "If you are afraid to go on a campaign, who else can listen to my dispatches?"
Yu Wenxian said nervously, "I really want to accompany Your Majesty, but I am sick and there is really no way."
Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou agreed.
Soon after, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou died, and Emperor Xuan of Zhou ascended the throne, and when he was still crown prince, he was very jealous of Zi Wenxian. After becoming emperor, he was afraid that Yuwen Xian's great prestige would be unfavorable to him, and he wanted to be strong.
In the case that the Northern Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong had not yet been buried, Yuwen Yun could not wait to take action.
Yu Zhi denounced Yuwen Xian for plotting against him, and Yuwen Yun ordered Yu Zhi to interrogate him, and ambushed the soldiers in advance, summoning Yu Wenxian to enter the temple alone. After Yu Wenxian came in, the heroes rushed up and grabbed Yu Wenxian.
Yu Wenxian said: "My status is so high, now that I have fallen to this step, life and death have a destiny, I don't want to live anything." But the old mother was still there and didn't want to make her sad. So he threw away the wat board and was then hanged directly.
Less than three years after Yuwen Xian's death, his cousin Yang Jian seized the throne of the Yuwen family, saying that the Yuwen family had been killed and established itself as emperor.
