Yuwentai's nephew Yuwenju really didn't live up to him in a sense, after Yuwentai's death, Yuwenhu helped Yuwentai's son Yuwenjue kick away the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, and made Yuwenjue the emperor, known as the Northern Zhou Dynasty in history.

But this Yuwen Hu I mentioned before, he is the kind of person who belongs to the latter kind of person in Tuogu, he openly put Yuwen Jue on the throne, but secretly took over all the forces left by Yuwentai and became another Yuwentai. Yuwentai would never have thought that this nephew, who had high hopes, would become a nightmare for his Yuwentai family.

Yuwen Jue, the first emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but he is actually a puppet, and it is no one else who controls him, it is the nephew of Yuwentai mentioned above, his cousin - Yuwen Hu. Yuwentai is a person with great talent, and his son has also inherited his excellent genes, not only Yuwenjue, but several of his sons are very good, this will be said later, let's talk about Yuwenjue today. At the beginning of his ascension, Yu Wenjue, with his sensitive political sense, immediately realized a problem, his cousin wanted to learn from his deceased father and play behind the scenes. Of course Yuwenjue is not happy, as long as there is no particularly abolished emperor in history, who does not want to have his own dictatorship, even if it is particularly useless, it will only fall after trying to dictate power. So Yuwenjue carried out a series of deployments, ready to kill his cousin, here I have to say that Yuwenjue is really a very good person, and his deployment was concealed from Yuwenhu, who was in power at the time. But there was no way, the person he was looking for was unreliable, Yuwen Hu still knew about it, and then a glass of poisoned wine was unknowingly sent to Yuwen Jue's table, and in this way, the first emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty went to see his father.

After Yuwen Jue's death, Yuwen Hu actually had a headache, he didn't kill his cousin with his own hands, he was thinking about who the next emperor would be a headache for. Here I have to talk about this bloodline issue, although the Northern and Southern Dynasties period was very chaotic, today you are the emperor, tomorrow I will be the emperor, but not everyone can be the emperor, the most important thing is that your bloodline should be noble. In fact, this is easier to understand, that is, you must be a concubine, you cannot be a concubine. The son-in-law is your father is the son-in-law, and your mother also has the corresponding status, and must be married in the media, which is generally a marriage in ancient times, which is more common, which is also the most common way for the two families to keep in touch. The concubine is your father is the son-in-law, your mother is not, your mother is a maid, and then on a stormy night, with you, then you are the concubine; Or if your mother doesn't have the corresponding status, then you are also a concubine. In the aristocratic class, it is very rare for a mother to be expensive by her son, but there is, the more famous in history I am impressed by the Empress Dowager Hu of the Northern Qi Dynasty at the same time, this is not much to say, the most free and easy queen mother in history, if you are interested, you can Baidu yourself. Back to the topic, there are very few things that are expensive for mothers and sons, and it is generally the mother who is expensive so that their sons can be more expensive, after all, a big family has many descendants, and only the background of a stronger mother can become the inheritor to the greatest extent. Therefore, Yuwen Hu is a concubine, he can't be the emperor, the Guanlong Group can tolerate you to become a minister, as long as you give them benefits, but you can never tolerate a concubine to inherit the unification, this is an unspoken rule, and it is also the default rule in the aristocratic circle, Yuwen Hu knows that although he is now in power, as long as he dares to break this rule, such as ascending the throne and becoming emperor, he himself dares to guarantee that his family, including himself, will definitely be hung on the city wall, which may be a living person or a corpse. So he could only continue to look for his cousin, and then a literary young man appeared in front of him. This literary youth is called Yu Wenyu.

Yu Wenyu, a literary young man, likes to write articles when he has nothing to do, and finds a large group of people to repair books or something together. Yuwen Hu was very satisfied with this literary young man, after all, it was very troublesome to change the emperor, and he didn't want to kill his cousin anymore. In history, the literary youth as the emperor is divided into two situations, one is to take art as the main position, and the emperor as the deputy position, for example, Chen Shubao, the queen of Nanchen in the back, is such a literary youth who has lost the country; The other is to treat art as a deputy position, the emperor is the main job, the purpose of his art is to better govern the country, the famous tyrant Emperor Sui Yang in history is actually such a person, and the current Yu Wenyu is also such a promising literary youth. Unlike Yuwenjue, who is an emperor with political literacy but not enough experience, Yuwenyu has been guarding Longyou in Yuwenjue for many years when he was the emperor. And the most important thing is that this person is very good at local governance, and he is also very well respected by the local people, such a literary young man, when he first became the emperor, he played art for only one purpose - to understand his own place, and think about what he should do next.

He first pardoned the people of the Western Wei royal family, and then carried out a round of reforms, such as freeing slaves, lowering punishments, etc., and under his management, the economy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was greatly restored. And he selected a group of young and promising young people from powerful families to serve as the new pillar country, and one of the people he promoted had to say that it was Yang Zhong, that is, the father of Yang Jian, the founder of the Great Sui. Of course Yuwen Hu knew these things, in fact, without Yu Wen Hu's acquiescence, Yu Wen Yu would not have been able to do these things. But Yuwen Hu will never tolerate others taking his power, and the last Yuwen Jue who did this is gone. So he was going to see what the ultimate goal of his cousin was, so one day he found Yu Wenyu and told him that you are doing so well, your father thought you were small, let me help you take care of it, you are now mature, I am ready to hand over all the power to you, and assist you wholeheartedly. Here we have to remember one thing, that is, no matter which dynasty, when a powerful minister says this kind of thing to you, he is testing you to see what you want to do in the end. If the emperor says don't want to, I'm still young, you handle it very well, and I want you to continue to help me manage it, then this interesting emperor can live for a while; If the emperor says, "Okay, I'm going to do it well," then the minister will know what you want to do, and you'll have to die. Although Yuwen Yu is very powerful, he is still a literary young man after all, he takes it for granted, thinking that his own power can fight against Yuwen Hu, thinking that Yu Wen Hu is soft, so he gladly accepted it. So Yuwen Wu knew what to do. Then, another glass of poisonous wine, Yu Wenyu went to see his father and his brother.

So who will be the emperor next?
