During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yuwen Yong and SHEN WOO, the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, were outstanding in talent and unfathomable in wisdom. At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also advocated frugality. He usually wears a cloth robe and is covered with a quilt. He is not decorated with gold, silver and precious stones. For those palace rooms engraved with inscriptions and embroidered clothes, this is forbidden. The palace of the former dynasty was richly decorated. He ordered it to be demolished and replaced it with a local ruler as a thrifty servant. In the 19th year of his reign, Yuwen Hu, the powerful minister, was destroyed by the imperial clan. Then I personally took control of the machine and wiped out the Gaos in Beiqi. History shows that Emperor Wu of Zhou took over from Lao Qian and made unremitting efforts to improve himself. During the war, he walked in a dangerous valley and worked hard, which ordinary people could not bear. Emperor Wu of Zhou himself was very happy. Emperor Wu of Zhou saw soldiers walking barefoot in the March, and even took off his boots and put them on. With the enemy lines, they are all leading the way, and they have almost fallen into a dead line with the respect of the emperor for many times. After Qi broke, he surrendered to the Turks and attacked the Southern Dynasties. Judging from the momentum of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, within a year or two, the unification of the world would soon become a reality. However, the envy of talents is real. In 2008, Yuwen Yong suddenly fell ill during the Northern Expedition and died in a chariot. He is only 36 years old. Prince Yuwen attacked Tong Dabao. It is precisely this son who is less than 20 years old, Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou, as mentioned in the history books, who attacked the place for more than two years, and the great rivers and mountains that Emperor Wu worked so hard for were filled with smoke everywhere, which made people miserable!
When Emperor Wu of Zhou was alive, he was very strict with his sons, especially Prince Yuwen. Occasionally, because he was too young, he beat him with a big stick and said, "There have been many people who abandoned the prince since ancient times. Isn't it unbearable for my other sons to inherit him? " At the same time, he ordered officials of the Prince's East Palace to write a detailed report every month, recording ming prince's actions in detail for one month. In this way, the drunken, lecherous prince tried to suppress his hobbies. Like many martyrs, he stood outside the temple gate in the cold at five or six o'clock in the northern winter, waiting for the early morning. Well-intentioned, acting wholeheartedly. After all, he was afraid that his father would abolish him in a rage and set up another brother as the Crown Prince.
Historically, when Emperor Xuan Di first ascended the throne, he was very extravagant. The giant coffin of Emperor Wu of Zhou is still in the palace and has not been collected. Yuwen's face not only lost the sad face of his dead father, but also caressed the stick marks on his feet and shouted at the coffin of Emperor Wu: It's too late to die! Turning around, the new Real Madrid called the concubines and maids of Emperor Wu to the front, lined up to study, and took all the handsome ones as their harem. In feudal times, ethics has always been rigorous. Although the concubines of Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty are younger than Yuwen, they are still concubines and toffs in seniority. The new emperor completely ignored these imperial etiquette and embraced those young stepmother, and the spring breeze was everywhere. At the same time, his first administrative task after becoming emperor was to promote Zheng, an official doctor who had been advising him when he became a prince, and entrusted him with political affairs. (It was this Zheng Yi who took refuge in Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty two years after Yuwen's death, urging Emperor Wendi to enter the court and helping Emperor Wendi to usurp Zhou Li. ).
As soon as Emperor Yuwen's throne was secured, he immediately killed his uncle Yuwen Xian, the king of Qi, who had made great contributions. At the beginning of Yuwen Yong's claim to the throne, he was subjected to Yuwen Hu, the powerful minister, and kept silent all day. But at that time, Yu Wenxian and Yu Wenhu had a good relationship. He often led a great army to fight against the Qi army, and defeated the famous Northern Qi generals such as Hu Lvmingyue and Gao Changgong, and his power grew day by day. Yuwen Hu plays the book, and Yu Wenxian plays it. Yu Wenxian is in awe of half his own emperor and often mediates the subtle tension between the powerful minister and the emperor. Emperor Wu of Zhou knows this very well. So after destroying Yuwen Hu, he not only didn't kill Yu Wenxian, but also often let this samurai brother lead the former army to conquer World War IV. When the Northern Qi Dynasty was conquered, Yu Wenxian led the army to defeat running all the way, the ruler of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and captured Andrew Gao Yanzong, Ren gao xie and Wang Guangning, the imperial clan who could fight the most in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It can be said that Wang Chaoping of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the first hero to destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty. At the same time, this kind and mature prince is a wise man who knows how to retreat quickly and bravely. He knows that being the emperor's brother is not only resolute, but also a master of guessing. After the collapse of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yu Wenxian felt that his prestige was too heavy, so he deliberately refused to admit that he was sick from time to time, and stopped following Emperor Wu of Zhou to attack foreigners in the north, hoping to support himself for a long time so that he could finally go home.
When Emperor Wu of Zhou died, Yuwen, who had just acceded to the throne, immediately thought of his uncle. One night, he called the king of the imperial clan to see him. When everyone gathered in front of the temple, he called Yu Wenxian, the king of Qi, to see him alone. The temple gate suddenly closed, and a group of macho men rushed forward to hold down the uncle. Yu Wenxian's words were uncompromising, and Chen said that he was not guilty. The scribe who recorded the testimony next to him advised: Your Majesty, you don't have to say so much about your situation today. Yu Wenxian sighed: I am a respected person, and you are my brother and uncle. Once this happens, I'm dead and alive, and I don't want to live ... I just miss my mother in the hall, and no one supports me ... At the sound of my voice, the strong men swarmed and hanged the King of Qi in the hall. At the age of 35, he gave birth to six sons, all of whom were killed except the eldest son, Yu Wengui, who died before. It is not surprising that the feudal era paid attention to uprooting. According to the truth, if Yuwen ascended the throne as a young master, it would be a bad thing to punish an uncle like Yuwen Xian, so as to maintain the proper continuation of the feudal monarchy. Maybe he will expel his nephew from the throne like Emperor Zhao Xiao of the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, Yu Wen, who was only 20 years old and in his prime of life, immediately killed his uncle, who was kind and good at fighting, for nameless crimes, and was greatly disappointed with the world.
When Yuwen was a prince, he was surrounded by literati and scholars, who read widely and studied Chinese well. It stands to reason that the young emperor is not low in talent, but he only knows out of context and only knows the skin. According to historical records, shortly after he took office, ministers held a meeting, and everyone put on clothes of the Han and Wei dynasties, and put on clouds and big sleeves according to the ancient system. They are ecstatic and beautiful, and their practicality is definitely not as good as that of his father, Emperor Wu of Zhou. During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao rode and shot in Hu clothes, which took many opportunities in troubled times. Yuwen used Chinese, Wei and Korean musical instruments, which were flashy. Of course, after his death, Emperor Wendi established the Sui Dynasty, but he completed most of the process from Hu to Han.
Yuwen also thought that the punishment in the Criminal Book of Emperor Wu of Zhou was too severe and decided to abolish it. In order to buy people's hearts and pardon prisoners, thieves ran out of the prison and made trouble in the village. Seeing that the country's sentencing is too light, people around it have also tried the law, and the society is in chaos. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was divided and competing with each other. The so-called severe punishment in troubled times, Zhou Wudi's criminal law should be a must. Yuwen's youth was ignorant, ruling the country by books, dull and ignorant of current affairs, which made him lose face for a time. Besides, he leads a luxurious life and has many shortcomings. In order to subdue his lieutenants, he promulgated a new law, a sanctified penalty system, and staged a trick of offering sacrifices to heaven and telling the earth to do the new law. The punishment was heavier than that of Emperor Wu of Zhou. If the servants make a small mistake, they will be beheaded and destroyed immediately. A few months later, Yu Wen suddenly remembered that he had been beaten by his father's stick. In a casual chat, he asked his favorite Zheng Yi: Who is to blame for the stick marks on my feet? Zheng Yi immediately replied: It's both King Gui and Yu Wenbiao! Originally, these two important officials were selfless. At that time, when Emperor Wu of Zhou was alive, he made a good plan and hoped that Prince Yuwen would be self-reliant and self-reliant. On one occasion, Wang Gui pretended to be drunk, touched the beard of Emperor Wu of Zhou and said, Such a good father, but unfortunately there is no good son! At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou also knew that Yuwen's good wine was lewd and undeserving, but his second son was even more incompetent. The other sons were all children, and finally he did not adopt Wang Tie's words. At this point, Yuwen remembered the old evil, Zheng Yi killed Wang Gui in Xuzhou in a rage, and Yuwen Xiaobo died at home. Before Wang Gui was killed, he was mentally prepared. Knowing that a great disaster was coming, he said to his cronies: Xuzhou is very close to Chen State, and it is easy for me to save myself (meaning to surrender to Chen State), but the festival of loyalty and righteousness cannot be violated. The former emperor (Emperor Wu of Zhou) was so kind to me that I can't forget it. I will die here, hoping to know my loyalty after a thousand years.
After the death of parents, the ancients had to spend at least three years in mourning. They can't listen to music or laugh. They have to wear simple clothes. Yuwen completely ignored these funerals. He watched song and dance performances in front of the temple every day, and Zheng Yi reorganized the song and dance troupe of Emperor Gaowei in the last years of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was eliminated by Zhou Guo, resulting in a variety of performances in front of the temple, including dragon dancing, gnome comedy, cross talk, mountain bike attack, elephant patrol, tug-of-war performance, killing horses, peeling donkeys, etc., and was busy day and night; There are countless beautiful women in the harem, plus countless strange titles of concubines. Even the historians who wrote Ju Zhu in Zhou Dynasty can't remember so many names. Indulge in debauchery, have fun in the palace all month, and ministers are at the mercy of eunuchs, making a mess.
Less than a year after he ascended the throne, he was only 2 1 year old and passed on to his 8-year-old son Yu, calling himself Emperor Tianyuan and living in a palace called Tiantai. He wore a crown of twenty-four jade, and his clothes were twice as high as those of the ancient emperor. He changed old rituals and ancient musical instruments at will, and he didn't call me when talking to his servants. He calls himself heaven and is arrogant. When eating, he put strange things such as bottles, Yi and Zan, which were recorded in ancient books, into his diet. He also wears a high crown, ornaments made of golden cicadas and exaggerated ribbons, which can be said to be the best among ancient emperors who like strange clothes. Before the minister received him, he was asked to fast for three days and clean himself for one day before he could go to the temple. Emperor Wu of Zhou once destroyed buddhas and statues. Yuwen rebelled against his father's actions and made a giant Buddha and a Buddha statue. He sat between two statues, facing south, and there were a lot of zaju in the square in front of him, which made the literati in Chang 'an see. He really had the demeanor of a king and a superstar. Zhou Tianyuan Yuwen also loves to play liegeman, and his playing is also customized. He takes one hundred and twenty sticks as the measure, which is called the heavenly stick. Later, he doubled it to 240. Even many beautiful women, such as favored queens and wives, are not immune, and they are moody and can hit whoever they want.
Yuwen also likes the grand ostentation and extravagance of the army. He often wears his armor up and down, and the lights are bright. He wandered around on a tall horse. The most grand time was when he was in a spectacular military parade. More than 100,000 infantry troops were arrayed in Hongwu Lake, and more than 500 large ships and warships slowly sailed out of the mouth of Guabu River, with banners covering the sky, which was spectacular. He toured in the same state, with 360 non-commissioned officers in the lead. Among the dozens of miles, banners are large and the music is shocking. Countless warriors hold halberds at the same time, and their spectacular scenery will certainly not achieve that effect even with today's digital technology. It is certainly difficult to reproduce the grand occasion of the emperor in ordinary movie scenes. If the future time machine comes true, people will be lucky enough to travel back to Zhou Tianyuan's Yu Wendi era and will be amazed at such ostentation and extravagance.
Yuwen has a quirk of pursuing fame and gain. His own queens are Tianyuan Queen, Tianda Queen, God Bless Queen, Tianzuo Queen and so on. On the contrary, his official queen only called them unadorned adjectives. Shortly after he acceded to the throne, he took a fancy to the beauty of Wei Chi, the wife of Xiyang's nephew Kelly. He got his niece drunk at the court meeting and forced her to commit adultery. Kelly's father was very worried when he learned that the emperor's cousin had occupied his daughter-in-law. He was afraid that the emperor would kill his son and take the whole family away, so he rose up and rebelled. Unexpectedly, he was soon defeated and killed, and Kelly, who was wearing a big cuckold, was dragged to be beheaded. After the cousin and nephew were slaughtered, Yu Wenying's cousin and daughter-in-law Wei Chi entered the palace and officially accepted her as the imperial concubine.
Although the little emperor was absurd, the national strength and fighting capacity of the Zhou Dynasty were not weak. The ministers joined forces to capture Shouyang, Imperial City, Guangling and other places, and all the places north of the Yangtze River entered the week. In order to celebrate the victory, Yuwen gathered hundreds of officials in the resplendent Wu Zhengting Hall, and invited imperial maids and maids at home and abroad to participate in the ceremony and show off their songs and lyrics. In order to be funny and happy, he got a group of conference semifinals to wander around the yard with bare arms in winter, pretending to be beggars and beggars begging for warm clothes. The emperor himself messed around with all the ministers and imperial secretaries, throwing cold water on them, and when he saw those conference semifinals jumping and screaming with cold, everyone laughed in unison. After the game, I suddenly visited Luoyang. I personally carry a post horse and walk 300 miles a day, which is very fast. At that time, this speed was about equivalent to driving at 300 kilometers per hour today. Unfortunately, his four queens were ordered to keep pace with his rear today. The civil and military guards were frightened. If they were slightly dissatisfied, they would be reprimanded and punished by the emperor's self-appointed staff 120. Along the way, horses and servants were scattered all over the place, flags were flying, and a group of people fled in defeat.
It is estimated that the game is excessive, the wine is debauched, and the cold and heat are not good. Yuwen became seriously ill soon after he returned to the palace, and died a few days later at the age of 22.
When the palace was in chaos, she was an orphan and widowed mother. Jade's eldest son, who was only 8 years old, was made emperor. Zheng Yi, the favorite of Emperor Tianyuan, translated a letter to Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty to help the government. At this time, Yang, the Queen of Tianyuan, was also glad that his father had the ability to prevent him from being usurped by powerful ministers or ambitious people in the royal family. Unexpectedly, this Yang Jian mercilessly took away her grandson's position (Yu's biological mother's surname is Zhu, and Yang Jian's daughter is a nominal mother and son). In less than two years, Yu Yu, the son of the absurd emperor, was killed after 25 descendants of Emperor Wen of Zhou, 6 descendants of Min and Liang Wudi 12. Yuwen's other two youngest sons are still in her arms. In order to kill the grass, he was also killed by Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. In addition, the remaining Yuwen imperial clan was scarce, which was almost completely destroyed by Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, killing thousands of Eichhornia crassipes in more than a year. Zhao Yi, a scholar in the history of Qing Dynasty, lamented that it was cruel and cruel for no one like Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty to take his wife and Weng's relatives to the throne ... to steal the people's country and kill his descendants. How can it be a bit popular! However, the way of heaven showed that Emperor Wendi of Sui claimed to be the fifth son of his true brother (that is, the fifth son had the same father and mother, both of whom were born to Emperor Wendi of Sui and Queen Dugu), and his eldest son, Yong Yang, was given death after being abolished. The second son, Yang-ti, was strangled by his liegeman. Wang Junjun, the second Qin Dynasty, died young. The second time, the king showed off and neglected, and died in Jiangdu. Yang Liang, the second Hanwang, was punished for rebellion. Yong Yang's ten sons were all executed by Emperor Yang. The sons of Yang Jun, Yang Liang and Yang Xiu all died in Jiangdu. Three sons of Yang-ti were also killed in Jiangdu, and Yang's descendants also survived. Coincidentally, the surname of the person who killed Emperor Yang in Sui Dynasty happened to be Yuwen (Yu Wenhuaji shared the same surname as the royal family in Zhou Dynasty, but it was not a clan), which was a pity in the dark, and the theory of Buddhist and Taoist retribution seemed to be true.
In reviewing this historical fact, Wang Fuzhi, a thinker in Qing Dynasty, thought that although the achievements of Yuwen Yong, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, went down in history, his belligerence had deviated from the people's hearts. In addition, Emperor Tianyuan was too desperate for more than two years. Two generations of kings forgot to rule the country by virtue, which led to the cold bones of one old emperor and one young emperor, and the clan society moved. On second thought, the result seems reasonable.
A few months later, Yu Wen suddenly remembered that he had been beaten by his father's stick. In a casual chat, he asked his favorite Zheng Yi: Who is to blame for the stick marks on my feet? Zheng Yi immediately replied: It's both King Gui and Yu Wenbiao! Originally, these two important officials were selfless.

According to the truth, if Yuwen ascended the throne as a young master, it would be a bad thing to punish an uncle like Yuwen Xian, so as to maintain the proper continuation of the feudal monarchy. Maybe he will expel his nephew from the throne like Emperor Zhao Xiao of the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, Yu Wen, who was only 20 years old and in his prime of life, immediately killed his uncle, who was kind and good at fighting, for nameless crimes, and was greatly disappointed with the world.
When Yuwen was a prince, he was surrounded by literati and scholars, who read widely and studied Chinese well. It stands to reason that the young emperor is not low in talent, but he only knows out of context and only knows the fur. According to historical records, shortly after he took office, ministers held a meeting, and everyone put on clothes of the Han and Wei dynasties, and put on clouds and big sleeves according to the ancient system. They are ecstatic and beautiful, and their practicality is definitely not as good as that of his father, Emperor Wu of Zhou.

In order to subdue his lieutenants, he promulgated a new law, a sanctified penalty system, and staged a trick of offering sacrifices to heaven and telling the earth to do the new law. The punishment was heavier than that of Emperor Wu of Zhou. If the servants make a small mistake, they will be beheaded and destroyed immediately. A few months later, Yu Wen suddenly remembered that he had been beaten by his father's stick. In a casual chat, he asked his favorite Zheng Yi: Who is to blame for the stick marks on my feet?

The former emperor (Emperor Wu of Zhou) was so kind to me that I can't forget it. I will die here, hoping to know my loyalty after a thousand years.
After the parents of the ancients died, they had to spend at least three years in mourning, not listening to music, not laughing, and wearing plain clothes. Yuwen completely ignored these funerals. He watched song and dance performances in front of the temple every day, and Zheng Yi reorganized the song and dance troupe of Emperor Gaowei in the last years of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was eliminated by Zhou Guo, resulting in a variety of performances in front of the temple, including dragon dancing, gnome comedy, cross talk, mountain bike attack, elephant patrol, tug-of-war performance, killing horses, peeling donkeys, etc., and was busy day and night; There are countless beautiful women in the harem, plus countless strange titles of concubines. Even the historians who wrote Ju Zhu in Zhou Dynasty can't remember so many names. Indulge in debauchery and have fun in the palace all month, and the ministers are all handled by eunuchs, which is a mess.
