During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Yu Wenhua was a "household name", although he was very famous, but notorious, was a well-known traitor, he launched the Jiangdu Rebellion, killed the Sui Emperor, and later established himself as emperor. However, Ubunaga was soon defeated and killed. However, the Yuwen family was not destroyed, and Yu Wenhua and his brother became a life winner in the Sui and Tang dynasties, so what kind of life legend did this person have?
Yu Wenhua's father is named Yuwen Shu, and he has three sons, namely Yu Wenhua, Yuwen Zhihe, and Yuwen Shihe, and the protagonist of this article is Yu Wenshi and Yu Wenshi. During the reign of emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yu Wenshi and his father were awarded the Duke of Xincheng County for their father's merits. Emperor Yang Jian of Sui summoned Yuwen Shiji in his bedroom, and after some conversation, admired him so much that he married his granddaughter Princess Nanyang (the eldest daughter of Emperor Sui).
Yuwen Shi and later served as Shang Ren Feng Yu and Hongxu Shaoqing, although the official position was not high, but after all, he was the son-in-law of the Sui Emperor, and was the younger brother of the powerful minister Yu Wenhua, so he enjoyed great glory and wealth during the Sui Dynasty. Princess Nanyang is not only very beautiful, but also knowledgeable, so the life of Yuwen Shi and her is very happy, and the husband and wife are very loving. However, in March 618, Yu Wenhua launched a coup d'état, killed the Sui Emperor, established himself as emperor, and made his younger brother Yuwen Shi and the King of Shu.
Yu Wenhua and his troops then marched north to Liyang, only to be defeated by Li Mi and later defeated by Dou Jiande. At this time, Yu Wenshi and his wife and son came to Guanzhong alone to defect to Li Yuan, the emperor of Tang Gaozu. It turned out that during the Kai Emperor's reign, when Yuwen Shi and served as the emperor, Li Yuan served as the young supervisor of the palace, and the two became friends. During the journey north, Yu Kepts and sent people to present the golden ring to Li Yuan. Li Yuan was very happy and said to the crowd, "I have tried to work with the soldiers and the soldiers, and I will offer it today, which is the future." ”
When Yuwen Shi and the Marquis of Chang'an came, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan also rebuked him, "Brother Ru led the people who thought of returning to the customs for the purpose of entering the customs, and when Erde was obtained, my father and son, Shang Ken was false?" Where do you want to be now? "Yuwen Shi and hurry to apologize for their sins," the subjects deserve to die, but the subjects went to Zhuo County, tasted the night with His Majesty to discuss the affairs of the world, and offered them again, hoping to atone for their sins. Speaking of this, Li Yuan smiled and said to Pei Huan and the others: "He and I discuss the affairs of the world, and they have been arrested for six or seven years, and the public and others are behind them." ”
That is to say, six or seven years ago, Yu Wenshi and Li Yuan had said about starting a war, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary. More importantly, yu wenshi and foreign relatives of the Tang Dynasty! Originally, after Li Yuan came to Chang'an, he incorporated Yu Wenshi and his sister into the harem and was given the title of Zhaoyi, known in history as "Yuwen Zhaoyi", which was deeply favored by Li Yuan. Because of these two layers of relationship, Li Yuan was very kind to Yuwen Shi and "by seeing relatives, he conferred yi tong".
After that, Yu Wenshi and Li Shimin fought, and restored their original titles due to their military achievements. However, Princess Nanyang, because her father was killed by Yuwen And, broke off her marital relationship with Yuwen Shi and chose to become a nun. Yu Yushu wanted to reconcile with the princess, but was categorically rejected by princess Nanyang. Upon hearing the news, Li Yuan issued an edict, "As the wife of the patriarch, move the palace to the general of the Hussars." After the army destroyed Wang Shichong, Yu Wenshi was made the Duke of Yingguo.
In 626, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion and became the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Yuwen Shi and was given the title of chancellor, "Bai Zhongshu Ling, 700 households in Zhenyi Yizhou, with this official inspection school Liangzhou Governor". Later, Li Shimin often summoned Yuwen Shi and did not end until night, and when he encountered rest, he often sent people to summon him to the palace. However, Yuwen Shi did not indulge in this, but became more respectful and cautious. However, Yuwen Shiji also has a disadvantage, that is, life is too luxurious. In 642, after his death, Yuwen Shi was deposed as a zhong.
