Chapter 36 The Trapping of the Five Kings
Daqian is suspected to be the official name of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and is one of the "four auxiliaries" used by Emperor Xuan of Zhou to assist the monarch (himself). Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Since it was originally a quarter of the "auxiliary", it is not surprising that it is now a "secondary" of the second (left and right prime ministers).
Although Yang Jian holds great power, he is not alone, because the position of the right prime minister, who is equal to him, is still in the hands of Yu Wenyun's younger brother and Emperor Jing's own uncle Yu Wenzan of Han.
Yang Jian asked Liu Fang to send a batch of beauties to the Han Palace, and persuaded Yu Wenzan to retreat: "You are the younger brother of the first emperor, everyone expects it, now the little emperor is young and ignorant, it is naturally difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, it won't be long before you become the emperor!" Why do you have to get up early to go to court? When things settle down, we'll welcome you as emperor! ”
Yuwenzan, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, is mediocre and talentless, and if he believes it, he doesn't go to court, and picks up girls at home all day long-the beauties sent by Liu Fang, living the days of Diao Chan singing-sound and colorful-, daydreaming of the blue sky, waiting for a big pie of "emperor's crown" to fall from the sky!
As a result, Yang Jian integrated the left and right prime ministers, and set up the prime minister's mansion, which became the real central leadership and decision-making body of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
Yang Jian, who monopolized the military and political power in the DPRK and China, and naturally controlled the capital garrison, let the puppet Emperor Jing Yuwen Yun ascend the throne three days after the death of Emperor Yuwen Yun of Zhou.
However, for the death of Emperor Xuan, he still did not mourn (it was not mourned until the twenty-third day).
Because Yang Jian's group is more worried about external troubles: those vassal kings who support troops outside Beijing and respect themselves! And the most powerful of them are the sons of Emperor Wen and the younger brothers of Emperor Wu, that is, the five uncles and ancestors of Emperor Jing now: Zhao Wangyu Wenzhao, Chen Wangyu Wenchun, Dai Wang Yu Wenda, Yue Wang Yu Wensheng, and Teng Wang Yu Wendi.
As a result, Yang Jian Group made an edict:
Due to the growing strength of the Turkic forces outside the Saiwai, in order to eliminate external troubles, he wanted to marry the daughter of King Zhao, Princess Qianjin (a beautiful woman with both talents and appearances, and mixed Hu and Han blood) to the Turkic Shabo Khan, and specially summoned the five kings to come to Beijing to discuss quickly.
[Khan, also known as the Great Khan, or simply Khan. It is the honorific title of the leader of the nomadic tribes of the ancient Altaic language family of Xianbei, Turkic, Tuyuhun, Hui, Tiele, Jurchen, Rouran, Gaoche, etc., and later evolved into the honorific title of their monarch or political leader. It is equivalent to the Son of Heaven, Wang, and Emperor in Chinese. 】
The edict was forged by Yang Jian's group, but the reason for summoning the five kings to Beijing quickly made them unbelievable.
Because it was still a year before the death of Emperor Xuan Yuwenyun of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that is, in 579, the Turkic Tubo Khan, the "old cow" of Mobei, wanted to eat the "tender grass" of the Central Plains, the young and beautiful princess of the Northern Zhou royal family, so he sent an envoy to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to propose.
Yu Wenyun, a playboy who is good at love and afraid of the battlefield, saw that the strong enemy Turks came to propose, and it was sleepy and touched the pillow - he couldn't ask for it, so he chose his cousin - the daughter of Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao - Princess Qianjin to marry.
When the princess heard that she was marrying an old man, she had the feeling of "sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster came from heaven"! But the king's fate is hard to disobey, not to mention that this king is a tyrant!
A few months later, when the family was sad and the princess was crying, a piece of good news made the princess burst into tears and laughed: Tong Bo Khan died of illness!
However, before the princess's family could be happy, in February 580, the newly enthroned Shabalu Khan (the nephew of the Tubo Khan) sent an envoy to repeat the old tune: to marry the princess. Because Yu Wenyun fell on the edge of the pit at that time, he was not away from death (), so he was temporarily separated.
