After Yu Wenhua and the killing of the monarch, he only served as the emperor for half a year
Through the torrent of history, we can glimpse the rise and fall of various dynasties and generations, and at the same time, we can also understand many life philosophies. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, due to the abuse of the people by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, heroes from all over the country revolted, and he lost the support of the people.
As the saying goes: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world", obviously, Emperor Yang of Sui is not such a bright monarch. In the end, watching his power fade, he fled to Jiangdu, trying to survive here.
However, on March 11, the 14th year of the Great Cause, a group of rebels broke into his Jiangdu Palace, not only killed him, but also killed his entire clan, plundered his wife and throne, and led the army was his favorite favorite minister Yu Wenhua, which shocked history.
However, half a year later, history repeats itself, and a generation of traitors Yu Wenhua was killed in Liaocheng. So, why did Yu Wenhua betray his former benefactor, brutally kill Emperor Yang of Sui, and finally end up in such a tragic end?
Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, has made outstanding achievements, and his historical contributions are still praised by future generations. He created the system of three provinces and six ministries, promoted Confucianism, established the imperial examination system, built the Grand Canal, conquered the surrounding areas, expanded the territory of the Sui Dynasty, and consolidated the unity of the country, all of which were his achievements.
However, despite his countless achievements, the world still calls him a tyrant. This is because behind his exploits are countless people who have been displaced and living in hardship.
During his reign, he levied the people's power for many years, and the people complained. Finally, peasant uprisings broke out in various places, and Yang Guang was forced to take refuge in Jiangdu, but this escape became his death journey.
In the early morning of March 11, the 14th year of the Great Cause, he was awakened in his sleep by the noise outside, but he did not realize that his life was coming to an end.
It wasn't until the rebels took him up that Yang Guang suddenly realized that this was a palace coup. What made Yang Guang most sad was that the leader of the rebels turned out to be his most trusted favorite - Yu Wenhua.
For a long time, Yu Wenhua and by virtue of his identity, his father's status and the emperor's favor, he acted recklessly, lawlessly, and even stretched his hand to the court, causing a great negative impact.
In this regard, the courtiers dared not speak out, and in the end, Yu Wenhua and also blatantly cheated. The people are the enemies of the people. Such a traitor deserves it.
However, Yang Guang has repeatedly been tolerant of Yu Culture and treats the law as nothing, which shows his extreme trust in Yu Culture and He.
The Son of Heaven has his own way of dying, how can he be killed by you villains? Bring me wine. However, the ruthless Yu Wenhua did not listen to Yang Guang's wishes, and directly ordered his subordinates to strangle Yang Guang, and even the royal clan did not let go.
As a leader, if you are tolerant of the corruption of officialdom and know who is the traitor but do not punish it, then the consequences will be endless.
Yu Wenhua, the wife of Yang Guang, killed her husband and stood on her own, was crowned prime minister, and supported Yang Guang's nephew Yang Hao as the emperor. Yu Culture, who is in power and the opposition, is salivating for the beauty Queen Xiao.
Empress Xiao, the daughter of Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang Ming in the Southern Dynasty, has royal blood and is slim. Ill-fated, he was adopted by his uncle, and because of his beauty and intelligence, he was valued by Emperor Wen of Sui, married Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and became the queen.
Empress Xiao, known to the world, became one of the main reasons for her ill-fated fate.
Yu Wenhua has coveted Xiao's beauty for a long time, and in the face of this lustful rebel leader, Xiao's heart is helpless, and his heart is full of pain and humiliation. However, she can't resist, and if she chooses to die, it will only make Yu Wenhua more angry, leading to more deaths.
Therefore, she can only choose to obey. Xiao asked Yu Wenhua to allow her to bury the body of her deceased husband Yang Guang, although she is already a, but the charm is still there. Yu Wenhua and Jianmei agreed, so they didn't care about other things, and directly agreed to Xiao's request.
As a result, the queen, who was once the mother of the world, was forced to commit herself to the rebellious ministers and thieves. What happened to Empress Xiao makes people sigh, the world is impermanent, even the noble queen can hardly escape the fate of being played with.
Rebels and thieves bring about their own destruction. Yu Wenhua and for his own selfish desires, he plundered the boats of the people of Jiangdu to make a living, cruising for pleasure, and did not think about the people's livelihood and suffering. When he first took power, he went against the grain, and he was proud of his ability to "solve", but in fact he dug his own grave.
As the team reached its destination, the former allies realized Ubunkaji's incompetence and brutality, and decided to plot to kill him on behalf of the Celestial Path. However, the conspiracy was leaked, and he was killed by Yu Wenhua.
This series of events has allowed the world to see the self-destruction of the rebellious ministers and thieves.
In court meetings, Yu Wenhua often sat still and listened to the speeches of the ministers, but he never took the initiative to speak. After retreating, he will conspire with a few of his cronies about the content of the meeting just now.
This strange behavior puzzled the other ministers. In fact, Yu Wenhua is not a real politician, and he does not have the ability to govern the country. He did this to disguise his incompetence and pretend to be majestic.
On the way to Xuzhou, they were forced to take a dry road because the waterway was impassable. Yu Wenhua ordered his subordinates to rob the common people's ox carts, and even took away their ploughing cattle, completely ignoring the lives of the people.
In this era of chaos in the world, Yu Wenhua not only did not conform to the will of the people, but wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment, and oppressed the people, which is really absurd.
What is hilarious is that Yu Wenhua and the stolen ox carts are full of beauties and gold and silver treasures in the palace, but the soldiers are carried with food and **, and it is difficult to walk. This is undoubtedly self-defeating, even the former tyrant Yang Guang has never reached such a ridiculous point.
His judgment of priorities was completely unbalanced, which not only lost the trust of the people, but also shook the morale of the army. Sure enough, Xiao Guojun became more and more dissatisfied with him, and Sima Dejiao stood up against him again.
On the way back to the west, Yu Wenhua and all kinds of behaviors, Sima Dejiao saw it in his eyes. He gradually understands that only talented people can manage turbulent situations, and Yu Wenhua is clearly not suitable for this role.
So, he secretly contacted a few like-minded people and planned to get rid of Yu Wenhua. However, as in the past, Sima Deji's plan was discovered by Yu Wenhua.
Yu Wenhua and his shrewdness and courage quickly killed Sima Deji and more than ten of his henchmen. However, no matter how much he eradicates the troubles of his henchmen, he cannot stop the wheel of history.
In the dark, there is a providence. Yu Wenhua's flying and domineering finally angered the people and the rebels. Eventually, he became the public enemy of the people. Li Mi took the lead in declaring war on Yu Wenhua, and severely attacked Yu Wenhuahe, forcing him to flee north to Wei County.
Since then, Yu Wenhua has been defeated repeatedly, and even his subordinates have begun to betray. Faced with this situation, Yu Wenhua couldn't help but sigh: "Life is impermanent, why don't you enjoy the glory of the emperor for a day?" ”
Yu Wenhua had a plan, and he secretly thought to himself: "Since you are already burdened with the notoriety of killing the monarch and usurping the throne, why not try to be the emperor?" So, he decided to kill the killer, poisoned Yang Hao, and established himself as the emperor in Wei County, with the country name "Xu".
However, in the second month of the leap month of 619 AD, before his throne was hot, he was betrayed by Wang Bo, the leader of the Qizhou peasant rebel army, who had pretended to take refuge in him. Wang Bo opened the city gate and let Dou Jiande enter Liaocheng.
Dou Jiande easily defeated Yu Wenhua and his two sons, ending Yu Wenhua's career. Yu Wenhua's behavior can only be that he eats the consequences of his own evil and betrayal, and after killing Yang Guang, he is copying Yang Guang's atrocities and being extravagant.
Originally, the world was already full of dissatisfaction with the Sui Dynasty, and if he concocted it like this, he would only kill himself.
Historically, Yu culture and experience are thought-provoking. His story teaches us not to be able enough not to try challenges lightly. Be innocent and down-to-earth.
At the same time, we must also understand that if morality is not matched, there will be disaster, and only then will there be pressure if we are not able to do anything. Everything in this world has two sides, just as water can carry a boat and sink a boat.
Those who ignore the feelings of the people and go against the will of the people will will eventually be forgotten by history.
Through in-depth analysis of the Book of Sui and other documents, the true appearance of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is revealed. At the same time, the life trajectory of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, as well as the evolution of the image of Empress Xiao in different texts and its cultural connotation.
