In the thirteenth year of Daye, Tiger Benlang conspired with Yuan Li and others to conspire with Pei Qiantong of zhige, taking advantage of the resentment of the guards who missed their hometown, and launched a mutiny led by Yuwen Shu's son Yu Wenhua. Yang Guangwen changed his clothes and fled into the Western Pavilion, but was captured by the rebels Pei Qiantong, Yuan Li, Ma Wenju, and others, and Yang Guang wanted to drink poisoned wine to commit suicide, and the rebels were not allowed, so he ordered Hu Xingda to hang him.
Yu Wenhua was a generation of warriors and a famous rebel general in the last years of the Sui Dynasty. However, in general, everyone does not have a high opinion of him, mainly because he is extremely proud.
Yu Wenhua and came from a family of warriors, and his father was a famous general, which can be said to be majestic. Therefore, he has lived in the upper echelons of the ruling class since he was a child, and he has heard of the extravagance and lavishness of aristocratic life, and naturally has the characteristics of a non-legal personality.
When he grew up, as a court guard, he could freely enter and leave the palace inside and outside, and his relationship with the prince was naturally very good, which gave him the confidence to be brazen. Later, his younger brother married the eldest daughter of the Sui Emperor, and Yu Wenhua and his identity suddenly became a relative of the emperor and the state, and his status was much more honorable, and he was even more blind and speechless, and many ministers in the court were ridiculed by him.
In this way, a person who usually relied on his old friendship with Yang Guang to act arbitrarily eventually instigated the army to rebel and executed the Sui Emperor in Yangzhou. So, what's going on?
It turned out that although Yu Wenhua and although he was a man, he was actually a person who was only a promise and was timid and afraid of things, and of course, such a big thing as rebellion was not something he could decide, and the real rebel heart was Yuwen Zhihe, who had always been angry personality. At that time, it was the last year of the Sui Dynasty, and there were warlords everywhere, and the people's livelihood was poor.
At this time, the Sui Emperor traveled to Jiangnan, but was blocked by people to return to the capital, and Yang Guangsuo planned to set up another capital and not return to the Central Plains. However, he was the only one who supported this resolution, the soldiers in the army had been away for many years, and the homesickness was needless to say, and this homesickness was just used by Yuwen Zhi and others to launch a rebellion.
However, such a thing as rebellion must have a "head bird" to make things happen, and the timid and fearful Yu Wenhua mistakenly hit and bumped into the leader of the rebel army.
Later, on the way back to Korea, Yu Wenhua and along the way burned and looted, capturing many horses, ships and weapons. It has indeed increased its own momentum and increased its wealth, but at the same time, it has also multiplied the difficulties of the march, and gradually the people's hearts and minds have begun to loosen. They missed their hometown and fled.
Since then, there is a scene at the beginning of the article, where Yang Guang is hanged by the rebels. After Yang Guang's death, Xiao Hou and the palace people dismantled the bed board and made a small coffin, which was secretly buried under the Liuzhu Hall of Jiangdu Palace. Later, Chen Ling gathered all the people to mourn For Yang Guangfa, prepared yiwei, and reburied him under Wu Gongtai. The news of Yang Guang's murder reached Luoyang, and the Luoyang courtiers supported Yang Guang's grandson Yang Tong the Prince of Yue as emperor, and was known as emperor.
Yu Wenhua and the money directly inherited by the Sui Emperor in the south, plus the part he plundered, was really rich enough to make people have to pay attention. The truth of "bearing his sins" is more obvious in the chaotic world, not to mention that he was not just a "puppet". Li Mi of Wagangzhai, Wang Bo of Qizhou, and Dou Jiande of Hebei Province, one by one, all looked at the tiger and aimed at Yu culture.
In the end, Dou Jiande of Hebei captured Yu Wenhua alive and, after publicly listing his crimes of harming the country and the people, beheaded him and showed it to the public. Moreover, he and his two sons Yuwen Chengji and Yuwen Chengji cut off their heads one by one. Since Dou Jiande did not dare to offend the Turks, he sent Yu Wenhua and his head to the Turkic Princess Yicheng and hung it in the Turkic royal court.
At that time, in addition to the peasant rebels everywhere, the Turks were also a team that should not be underestimated. The Turks opened their mouths to ask for Yu Culture and the head of xiangshang, did Dou Jiande have a reason not to give it? After all, his strength was not yet enough to tear his face with the Turks. But why were the Turks interested in yu culture and their heads?
It turned out that the wife of the Turkic leader Chuluo Khan at that time was married to Princess Yicheng of Qimin Khan in order to achieve friendly relations with the Turks, and she was the sister of the Sui Emperor. Princess Yicheng's feelings for the Sui Dynasty were extremely deep, and it was precisely with the belief of thinking of the homeland that Princess Yicheng married the Turks without hesitation, and finally, for the sake of the "Jingbian Cause" of the Sui Dynasty, she remarried again and again, took root outside the Sai, rooted in the grassland, and sacrificed her youth without regrets.
Moreover, as early as a few years before Yang Guang was killed, Princess Yicheng had rescued the sui emperor who was in distress, which can be said to be closely related to Yang Guang. At that time, it was the time of the northern tour, and the Sui Emperor was surrounded by a Turkic team without noticing. It was Princess Yicheng who risked her life to attack the east and the west, and tricked the Turks into saying that there was a crisis on the border, which relieved the crisis for the Sui Emperor.
It can be seen that although Princess Yicheng is in turkistan, she still has a heart that loves the Sui Dynasty and hopes to ensure the peace of the Sui Dynasty. It is such a righteous princess who values love and righteousness, and values her family and country, after Yang Guang's death, how can she watch Empress Xiao toss and turn in the hands of various warlords, naturally she let her husband rescue her.
At the same time, for the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty, the culprit who killed the Sui Emperor, Yu Wenhua, how could she swallow this breath. Therefore, when he let Chuluo Khan take back Empress Xiao, he also took Yu Wenhua and the head of Xiangshang in his pocket by the way.
Princess Yicheng always believed that the Sui Dynasty was the orthodox, and her feelings for the Sui Dynasty could hardly be described as "love". Therefore, in her eyes, Li Tang was just plotting against the usurpation of the throne, how could he be called emperor! Therefore, Princess Yicheng stubbornly supported the Turks in starting a war with Li Tang, but in the end, it ended in a fiasco.
Princess Yicheng's love for the Sui Dynasty throughout her life is deep, and when the Sui Dynasty dies, who will she love? Who can she love? She had no one to be loyal to, and in the end, she could only recite the original Sui Dynasty, constantly denying the change of dynasties, and finally, tragically, dying.
However, even if she dies, she still maintains her last strength.
