Chapter Three: The Iron-Blooded Lord Yuwen Protector
2 Wrath of the Courtiers: Yuwen Hu kills Yuwen Yu again
After Yuwen Hu killed Yuwen Jue, the King of Northern Zhou, he had to consider one thing, who would succeed to the throne.
Yuwen Jue was only 16 years old, he did not have a son and a half daughter under his knees, and if he wanted to establish a new emperor, he would have to choose an heir from among his brothers.
In ancient times, heirs were established, and the first heir was the eldest son, and if there was no eldest son, the eldest could only be chosen. At this time, among Yuwen Tai's many sons, the eldest was the 24-year-old Yuwen Yu, who was also the best candidate for the world before in addition to Yuwen Jue.
Therefore, above the court, Yuwen Husheng tearfully complained about Yuwen Jue's guilt: "Since taking the throne, (Yuwen Jue) has been absurd, small, jealous of flesh and bones, and the minister is a heavy general, and he wants to be cursed. If this plot is carried out, the community will collapse. (Quoted from the Zhou Shu Jindang Biography)
Yuwen Hu, while crying and complaining, created his image of The Duke of Zhou, and at the same time said: "Today, Ning Negative Luoyang (Yuwen Jue) does not live up to Shejier." ”
This remark is almost the same as Cao Cao's saying that "it is better for people to bear me, not for me to bear others", which is both hypocritical and false, but also a sentimental attitude.
Then, Yuwen Hu turned his words around and began to focus on today's point: "Now that you want to abolish Li Ming, what do you think?" ”
At this point, what else can everyone say, and the courtiers can only bow down and say, "This is a matter of the public family, dare not listen to the order." ”
Meaning, this is your Yuwen family's own business, you just have to watch and do it yourself.
Indeed, at this time, Yuwen Hu really regarded the abolition of the emperor as a family affair, and he was the head of the family, whoever he wanted to establish, and whoever he wanted to abolish.
In this way, the 16-year-old Yuwen Jue was killed, and the 24-year-old Yuwen Yu stepped on the body of his brother Yu Wenjue and began to walk to the forefront of history, that is, to become the King of Heaven.
Yuwen Yu is different from his younger brother Yuwen Jue, Yuwen Yu is already a 24-year-old strong boy, Yuwen Yu is more mature and more experienced than Yu Wen jue, and before he became the King of Heaven, he had been serving as a local governor and was deeply loved by the people.
This actually made Yuwen Hu very unhappy, the Heavenly King was 24 years old, would he still honestly obey his orders? However, the traditional rule is to stand long, and you Yuwen Nu no matter how cattle, you dare not overstep the rules.
In addition, what made Yuwen Hu dissatisfied was that Yuwen Yu married the eldest daughter of Dugu Xin, yuwen Yu became the king of heaven, and the Dugu clan became the queen. For the knot in dugu xin's heart, Yuwen Hu has always been difficult to let go.
Yuwen Yu was obviously reluctant to obey Yuwen Hu, but he would not commit murder with "fanfare" like his younger brother Yuwen Jue.
Although Yuwen Hu didn't treat this Yuwen Yu much, he learned from Yuwen Jue's experience, after all, people are heavenly kings, they should not treat people like puppets, give him a little power, maybe his majesty the heavenly king will still be grateful to himself.
After Yuwen Yu became the Heavenly King, he was very busy. Today we pay homage to the ancestral tombs, tomorrow we worship the heavens, and the day after tomorrow we grant amnesty to the world, and we have issued various edicts one after another and proposed various policy reforms.
This made an old Yuwen Hu stunned, Yuwen Hu originally thought that it would be good to let Yuwen Yu live the Addiction of the Heavenly King, but he did not expect that this person liked to play reform.
Yuwen Hu gradually felt a sense of crisis. At a young age, Yuwen Yu showed extraordinary political talent and gradually began to win hearts and minds.
This was something that Yuwen Yu didn't want to see, but Yuwen Yu didn't leave any handles, and Yuwen Yu couldn't help Yu Wenyu for a while. The time soon arrived in 559, Yuwen Yu was already 26 years old, this is no longer a child, Yuwen Hu You are still cheeky as an auxiliary minister?
Well, I'll give it up.
Yuwen Hu began to compromise and officially announced his return to the Heavenly King Yuwen Yu.
However, Yuwen Hu left a hand, and politically you have the final say, and militarily you have to listen to me. Yuwen Hu knows the truth of power in the barrel of a gun.
Yuwen Yu did not engage in conspiracies like Yuwen Jue, yuwen Yu and Yuwen Yu fought with each other.
Step by step, Yuwen Yu used his status as the Heavenly King to grab more power little by little, accumulate his popularity, and then compete with Yuwen Hu, he believed that one day, he would defeat Yuwen Hu.
Soon, Yuwen Yu made a bold decision to give himself a "promotion". The title of Heavenly King was too old-fashioned, full of rural style, so he changed the title of Heavenly King to Emperor and changed it to Yuan Wucheng.
The emperor let you do it, the power is also given to you to a certain extent, want to toss me also let you toss, you are not satisfied, Yuwen Yu, what do you really want to do?
Yuwen Hu really couldn't sit still, if this boy didn't clean up, he would definitely ride on his head in the future.
If you can't stand it, then you don't have to put up with it anymore.
Yuwen Hu also didn't bother to find any reason to abolish Yu Wenyu, of course, he couldn't find it, Yuwen Yu didn't leave the slightest handle, Yuwen Hu pondered for a moment and made a decision.
Yuwen Hu called a person, this person is called Ang Lee, of course, his profession is not directing, he is a chef.
Following Yuwen Hu's instructions, Ang Lee made a sugar cake. It was not that Yuwen Hu wanted to eat it himself, but to give it to Yuwen Yu, because in this cake, there was a little more ingredient- poison.
Li An took this elaborate sugar cake (poisoned) and went straight to the palace of Emperor Yuwen Yu.
Yuwen Yu was also hungry, looking at this sugar cake, the aroma was fragrant, and he took it to eat.
But when Yuwen Yu finished eating this sugar cake with relish, he suddenly found that there was a problem with this cake, what was the problem? poisonous! Without thinking too much, this must be Yuwen Hu who wants to kill himself.
At this time, Yuwen Yu began to use seconds to calculate the time of his last life, he held his last breath, shouted out his last words, and passed the throne to his brother Yuwen Yong.
In fact, Yuwen Yu had a son, but he did not pass the throne to his son, because his son was still wearing open crotch pants, and letting a little fart child in open crotch pants be emperor was tantamount to continuing to give up his hard-won power to Yuwen Hu.
At the moment of his death, Yuwen Yu made an incomparably correct decision, he did not pass the throne to his son with selfish intentions, but entrusted it to his younger brother, the purpose was to let his brother Yuwen Yong inherit his legacy and fight Against Yuwen Hu to the end.
After saying his last words, Yuwen Yu left for the west, only 27 years old, with the title of Emperor Ming and the temple number sejong.
Yuwen Yu's departure marks that Yuwen Hu has broken a historical record, that is, Yu Wen Hu has obtained the title of the most powerful king in history.
From Emperor Gong of Western Wei, to Yuwen Jue, to Yuwen Yu, the three "dragon slaying" dramas starring Yuwen Hu are all blockbusters, and he plays with the true dragon Tianzi under the butcher's knife and uses the emperor's blood to pave his own way of power.
In history, Yuwen Yu only served as an emperor for 5 years, and if you exclude the period of being called a heavenly king, it is only two years. On this limited historical stage, it has left a strong mark on history.
Yuwen Yu was not only an emperor who dared to fight against his courtiers, he was also a brave and resourceful emperor with outstanding talent.
Yuwen Yu has been erudite since childhood, and he has written good poetry, he has poetry in the world, and his literary talent is very high. Before he ascended the throne, he guarded the side, governed in an orderly manner, and was loved by the people, which showed that his political talent was already evident at a very young age.
After he came to power, he made many policy reforms, many of which were of historical significance, not to oppose Yuwen Hu, but to oppose neighboring Northern Qi.
Yuwen Yu knew that Yuwen Hu was just a powerful courtier, and no matter how arrogant and arbitrary Yuwen Hu was, this was just a national infighting, while the old neighbor Northern Qi had been spying on Northern Zhou, and Northern Zhou was always facing a strong enemy, which was the survival of the country. Infighting and the survival of the country, which is more important, Yuwen Yu is very clear.
Yuwen Yu also carried out a strong cultural construction, the most famous of which was the establishment of the Lin toe Hall, which gathered a large number of literati to verify books. At that time, under the auspices of Yuwen Yu, the "Genealogy" edited into five hundred volumes can be described as a great work of the emperor.
There is no doubt that if the time comes, Yuwen Yu will definitely be a british lord, but it is a pity that God is jealous of the talents.
