Chapter 24 Killing Family Affection
I don't know if Emperor Wu of Zhou out of the selfishness of "fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", or learning from the Han people's imperial inheritance system of "establishing a descendant but not a concubine, and establishing a long man without being virtuous", he did not pass on the imperial power to his younger brothers, but gave it to his eldest son Yu Wenyun - to a gravedigger who brought himself and the Northern Zhou regime!
Therefore, Emperor Wu of Zhou's half-brothers, who are still alive and have made meritorious contributions, are regarded by Yu Wenyun as political enemies who are threatening or potentially threatening!
In order to prevent chaos from being born in the elbow and armpit, and to maintain his supreme dominance, he swung his butcher knife at his uncle! Kill your closest relatives!
Lo and behold, the throne is a huge gravitational suction cup for anyone! In order to keep the throne or seize the country, not only the officials and people in the society were ruined! Sometimes the royal family is also full of blood! Slaughter!
The first person who became Emperor Zhou Xuan's Yu Wenyun was his uncle and his henchman, Yu Wenxian!
Yu Wenxian is the fifth son of Emperor Wen of Zhou Yu Wentai, and the half-father of Emperor Wu of Zhou Yu Wenyong (his mother is the Dabugan clan, a member of the Ruru clan). Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info decades of military career, outstanding achievements! In particular, he defeated the number one general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Hu Luguang (also known as Hu Lu Mingyue), and beheaded his generals Helan Leopard, Mattress Rose, etc., and conquered the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty! After eliminating the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dingding, he knew the harm of the meritorious master, so he wanted to fade out of the political arena and retire for the rest of his life. In the future, he always used illness as an excuse and did not go out to fight with Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu of Zhou, after the emperor, among Emperor Wu's younger brothers, Yu Wenxian, the eldest and most optimistic heir of Qi, who combines generational order, merit, and prestige, naturally became the number one suspect in Yuwenyun's heart! I want to get rid of it and then quickly!
After some conspiracy, on June 20, 578, Emperor Xuan of Zhou called a katana axe who had been ambushed in advance to arrest him when he took Yu Wenxian to the court! Then let Yu Zhi go out of the court to frame Yu Wenxian for rebellion in person, although Yu Wenxian refuted it decently, but he was still hanged for the crime of rebellion! He was only 35 years old when he died.
Qi Wang Yu Wenxian's subordinates were not spared: the general Wang Xing, Kaifu Yi and the general Dugu Xiong, Kaifu Yi and the general Dou Lushao and other generals were all killed!
If the subordinates are still like this, then Yu Wenxian's relatives will suffer even more: except for the eldest son who died of illness two years ago, the other five sons were all killed with their father! It is called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots!
The framer, Yu Zhi, was promoted to the Pillar Kingdom because of his "merit" and was crowned Duke of Qi!
Yu Wenyun cleared Yu Wenxian's henchman, and did not forget to settle the old accounts: those who blocked his ascension to the throne and caused him to be beaten!
In a small talk, he pretended to touch the east, west, and rub all over his body, and asked Zheng Yi in a matter-of-fact manner: "I am covered in bruises, who is to blame?" ”
Zheng Yi blurted out and provoked: "Then do you need to say it?" Of course, Wang Rail and Yuwen Xiaobo should be blamed! ”
Although these two people are not relatives of the emperor, they can be regarded as heavyweights!
Wang Liang's father, Wang Guang, once followed the actual founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Zhou, Yuwentai, to conquer the east and west, and became the general of the Western Wei Hussars. Wang Liang himself had participated in Emperor Wu's plot to murder Jin Gongyu Wenhu; attacked the Northern Qi Dynasty and made many military exploits; In the battle of Xuzhou with the Chen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, he supervised and captured more than 30,000 enemies, and was promoted to the governor of Xuzhou, and supervised the military of fifteen towns in seven prefectures.
At a banquet in the palace, Wang Liang pretended to be drunk, touched Emperor Wu of Zhou's beard, and said "drunk": "My Holy Emperor Wu, you, you, you are so wise, godly, and martial, but it's a pity that the successor is so, so cowardly, so incompetent!" ”
It was not only Wang Liang who lobbied Emperor Wu to abolish Yu Wenyun and change the crown prince.
