Yuwen Yun became the Supreme Emperor at the age of twenty-one, and still controlled the power of the court. He selected beauties from all over the world to enrich his harem, and played with each other all day long, enjoying it endlessly. It is said that he dumped the emperor's responsibility to Yuwen early for more fun.
Explain, if what is recorded in the history books is true, then the emperor Yu Wenyun is really beyond description.
No matter what he thought, the result was that Yu Wenyun became the Supreme Emperor.
Here, I want to mention a person, Yu Wenyun’s father-in-law—Pu Liurujian.
As mentioned before, Pu Liurujian is the father of Yuwen Yun’s queen Pu Liuru Lihua. Pu Liurujian’s father Pu Liuruzhong is a fierce general under Yuwentai. Pu Liurujian himself is also a very talented person.
Therefore, after Yuwen Yun succeeded to the throne, he appointed Pu Liurujian as the general of the Zhuguo State, the Grand Sima, and the Elephant in the early years (579). In the early years of the year (579), he was also appointed as the Grand Houcheng, Yousi Wu, and other official positions. I will not go into them one by one.
, in short, the prestige is growing.
Yu Wenyun is a man without talent. To be honest, if he were born in an ordinary family, he might not be able to farm well. The only thing he is good at is spending time and drinking. Therefore, he is afraid of talented people, especially those who are talented.
People with great power, Yu Wenxian and others above are the best examples.
Pu Liurujian's prestige grew, which aroused Yu Wenyun's suspicion. However, ahem, Pu Liurujian did have ambitions. Yu Wenyun was incompetent, and the indiscriminate killings made people's hearts disperse. As long as there was a chance,
, usurping the throne and seizing power is easy, but before the opportunity comes, you must not alert the snake, and you have to fight with this A Douxu, so Pu Liurujian took the initiative to request an external transfer, which was exactly what Yu Wenyun wanted, and he directly appointed Pu Liurujian as the general manager of Bozhou
, kicked him to Bozhou, so that Yu Wenyun felt at ease, and Pu Liurujian also felt at ease.
Gou Xiong did not agree with Yu Wenyun's approach. He clearly noticed that Pu Liurujian had different intentions, so he should have kept him under surveillance. Do you think that it would be fine if he was kicked out of the political center? This is simply letting the tiger go back to the mountain, no.
I thought that Pu Liurujian would die in depression like Yuchi Yun. Being able to die in depression shows that he was a truly loyal minister, so Pu Liurujian should forget about it.
Pu Liurujian left Chang'an and Yu Wenyun's supervision, and was able to show off his skills even more.
In May of the second year of the Elephant Year (580), he appointed Pu Liurujian as the general manager of Yangzhou and prepared to attack Chen. Pu Liurujian also planned to take this opportunity to earn some prestige for himself, but unfortunately,
Before setting off, something happened to his foot and he couldn't set off immediately, which made Pu Liurujian very unhappy.
He was bored in bed for several days, and his temper became irritable. Everyone who served him was very careful, and the house was also shrouded in a thick cold air, making people shiver and unable to feel the heat of the approaching summer.
One day, a cheerful "Master Manager" broke through the silence of the mansion, and everyone looked at Pang Huang in panic as he trotted along.
Pang Huang rushed straight into Pu Liurujian's bedroom, ignoring Pu Liurujian's black face dripping with ink, and said to himself:
"grown ups……"
Suddenly realizing that there were others in the room, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Pu Liurujian waved his hand, and they were the only two people left in the room. Pang Huang lowered his voice and said:
"My lord, the opportunity has come. The emperor passed away on May 24th!"
Pu Liurujian looked at Pang Huang for a long time, then looked at him again and said:
"You, what did you just say?"
Pang Huang smiled, leaned closer to him and lowered his voice and said:
"The Emperor has passed away! My lord, your opportunity has come!"
Although Pu Liurujian tried his best to hide it, his face still overflowed with joy and he rubbed his leg with foot disease. Before, he thought it was because God didn't want to help him, but now he doesn't think so. It's because God didn't want to help him.
I was helping him. If he hadn't been seriously ill, he would have set off as scheduled. In that case, after Yu Wenyun died, he would still be on the battlefield, and many things would be difficult to deal with.
I couldn't help but shout in my heart:
God helps me! God helps me!
Not long after, the imperial official Liu Fang and the internal history official Zheng Yi took advantage of Yuwen Yun's serious illness and forged an imperial edict asking Sui Guogong Pu Liurujian to accept his death and assist the government.
Ru Jian once again set foot on the land of Chang'an.
After getting off the carriage and looking at the majestic palace in front of him, Pu Liurujian was in a difficult mood. When he left Chang'an, he thought it would take a long time to set foot here again, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.
Now that he is back, Pu Liurujian does not want to lose this opportunity again. He must first clear the roadblocks. The kings of the Zhou royal family have many powerful vassal kings. These people are as talented as those kings in the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty.
, if he couldn't find a way to deal with them, his own road to usurping power would not be realized, so in the name of Yuwentai's seventh son, King Zhao Yuwenzhao, who was about to marry his daughter to the Turks, the remaining five people who returned to the feudal country last year were
Wang Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao, Chen Wang Yuwenchun, Yue Wang Yuwensheng, Dai Wang Yuwenda, and Teng Wang Yuwenkui summoned Chang'an.
Not only did they summon them to Chang'an, but they also ordered Wei Chidun, the son of Wei An, Duke of Wei, to bring an imperial edict to Yuchi Jiong in Xiangzhou, recruit Wei Chijiong to the capital in the name of a funeral, and then replaced Yuchi Jiong as the general manager with Yun Gong Wei Xiaokuan.
This series of arrangements is obviously also wary of Yuchi Jiong, so who is Yuchi Jiong?
Speaking of which, brothers Yuchi Jiong and Yu Wenyu are considered cousins. Yuchi Jiong's father, Yuchi Qidou, married Yuwentai's sister, Princess Changle. In addition, Yuchi Jiong's ancestors are a branch of the Tuoba family of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
, is known as the Yuchi tribe, and everyone takes "Yuchi" as their surname. In addition to these identities, Yuchi Jiong himself is also a talented man with both civil and military skills. Moreover, Yuchi Jiong's reputation and status have always been very high, and he is a powerful faction on par with Pu Liurujian.
For such a person, Pu Liurujian would not be of the same mind as him and was worried about his change, so he also called him to Chang'an.
Obviously he was worried about Yuchi Jiong's change, so he was transferred to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, this move backfired. Yuchijiong had already seen that Pu Liurujian had the intention to usurp the throne, so he raised troops according to the state to resist Pu Liurujian's autocratic power.
.
At this time, King Zhao Yuwenzhao went to Chang'an from his feudal state of Xiangguo County in Luozhou (today's southwest of Xingtai City, Hebei Province), but his younger son stayed here, and Yuchi supported him to command the world.
Yuchiqin, the son of Yuchijiong's younger brother Yuchigang, was the general manager of Qingzhou at that time, and also obeyed Yuchijiong. The provinces under Yuchijiong's jurisdiction were the prime ministers, Wei, Li, Mao, Ming, Bei, Zhao, Ji, Ying, Cangzhou, and Yuchiqin.
The states of Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju all followed Yuchi Jiong, with hundreds of thousands of troops.
Not only that, Shao Gongyu Wenzhou, the governor of Yingzhou, Li Hui, the governor of Shenzhou, Fei Yelijin, the governor of Dongchuzhou, Cao Xiaoda, the governor of Dongtongzhou, and Sima Xiaodan, the general manager of Yunzhou, all responded to Yuchi Jiong according to their respective prefectures, and powerful local officials
There is also a group of powerful potential followers in the clan.
