Since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, from Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms to Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, to Liu Yu of the Liu Song Dynasty, Yu Wenhu of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, to Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, and Yuan Shikai of the near future, these heroes have played all the conspiracies and played the means in order to ascend to the throne, and all the goals are one: want to be the boss. These people have a common characteristic, that is, when they are humble, they are obedient to the heavens and the people, and once they turn over, they will immediately overturn all their mistakes, because they think that they have always been great, glorious, and right from birth to death.
Among these powerful ministers, only Liu Yu abolished the first emperor (Emperor An of Jin) and destroyed the second emperor (Emperor An of Jin and Emperor Gong of Jin), but the only one with the most spicy means was Yuwen Hu, the powerful minister of Zhou of the Northern Dynasty. This guy regards the emperor as a puppet, standing three and three wastes, and can be called the crown of ancient and modern ministers. The key problem is that he personally ruined the Yuwen family's business, causing his relative Yang Jian to take the opportunity to become the boss. Originally, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, and there was a great opportunity to unify the world, but because of the existence of Yuwen Hu, Yang Jian directly picked up a big bargain.
Yuwen Hu is the nephew of Emperor Zhou Wen Emperor Yuwentai, because he is older than Yuwentai's sons, and has followed Yuwentai for many years to manage the relationship between the Quartet, so before Yuwentai died, he deliberately handed over power to him, hoping that he would faithfully assist his son in the future.
Soon after Yuwentai's death, Yuwenhu forced Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty to locate his cousin Yuwenjue and changed the name of the country to Zhou.
After the establishment of the Northern Zhou regime, Yuwen Hu proclaimed himself the Great Sima, the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Jin, and the commander-in-chief of all political and military affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Unwilling to be a puppet and unable to measure himself, Emperor Xiaomin Yuwenjue wanted to take back his power several times, but was deposed and killed by Yuwenhu on various charges. Then, Yuwen Hu killed all the men of the Western Wei clan, and Emperor Wei Gong was naturally among those who would die.
Everyone persuaded Yuwen Hu to take the throne, but Yu Wen Hu thought that he had military power in his hands, and the nominal emperor was just a false name, so he decided to make Yuwen Tai's other son Yu Wenyu the emperor, for Emperor Wucheng.
Emperor Wucheng Yuwen Yu is young and intelligent but impatient and lacks political experience, he succeeded to the throne soon after the most tried to regain power, what he did made the arrogant Yuwen Hu more and more uncomfortable, this discomfort The result of this discomfort is that Yu Wen Hu instructed his henchmen to kill the little hairy boy Yu Wenyu (poisoned).
Everyone once again expressed their willingness to serve Yuwen Hu as the master, but Yu Wen Hu still did not agree, so he set up Yu Wentai's fourth son Yu Wen Yong as the emperor, and at the same time named himself the Taishi and concurrently served as the prime minister.
Yuwen Yong is extremely smart, his wise and resolute Xiao is his father Yuwentai, from the beginning of his position, what he did was quite taboo for Yuwen Hu. But Yuwen Yong's forbearance kung fu is really good, and because of this, Yuwen Wu can't find a reason to help him for a while. Yuwen Yong used this opportunity to accumulate his strength, and he was waiting for the opportunity to give Yuwen Hu a fatal blow.
In the seventh year of Tianhe (572 AD), Yuwen Yong, who had been in forbearance for 12 years, took him to meet the queen mother under the pretext of taking him to meet the queen mother under the pretext of taking him to meet the queen mother, and set up an ambush in advance in the Hanren Hall of Chang'an.
Yuwen Hu's establishment in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, including the maintenance of the stability of the Northern Zhou regime and his economic construction in the future, was praised by the people of the time, and he was also filial to his mother, and he was a model of the feudal era. But he has a loss in the discipline of his children, his sons are all masters of accumulating wealth, all of them are rich and rival the country, especially he is unwilling to let go of power until he dies, which eventually leads to the death of the whole family, which cannot but be said to be his tragedy!
