Text Chapter 4 Yuwentai's melancholy

The origin of the Guanlong Group and the main characters have been described in more detail, and then they will begin to enter the text. The Guanlong group's entry into the political arena began with its support for the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty, which led to the improvement of the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Eight Pillars of the State, and the Twelve Generals. However, the real rapid development of the Guanlong Group began in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, a series of character events related to Li Yuan, the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty will also be revealed one by one.

Here the Western Wei Dynasty skipped it, after all, the Western Wei Dynasty was honestly just a puppet regime. The Western Wei Dynasty was a split from the Northern Wei Dynasty that opposed the Southern Liang of the Eastern Wei Dynasty controlled by Gao Huan, and its first emperor was the Yuan Bao Torch, the grandson of Emperor Xiaowen, who was supported by the powerful minister Yuwentai. As mentioned earlier, Yuwentai didn't kill an emperor, or ran from Gao Huan's men, to be honest, this emperor was also sad, thinking that he could be admired by all the people and gain power when he came to the Western Wei Dynasty, but who knew that he died in the hands of another powerful minister.

In other words, in history, the ministers are also divided into two categories, one is those who want to be emperors, such as Yang Jian, the founder of Li Yuan's uncle Da Sui; The other type likes to manipulate behind the scenes and live a director's addiction, such as the Yuwentai we are talking about now, and Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms is actually this kind of person. Mention Cao Cao because Yuwentai's experience is similar to Cao Cao's, he did not claim the emperor, and after his death, his son immediately kicked the emperor away and ascended to the throne. The difference is that Cao Cao's son Cao Pi has strong abilities, and Sima Yi, the biggest careerist, does not dare to have any objections, while Yuwentai's son Yuwenjue is just a puppet.

Yuwentai is a person who has the ability, and his ability is not only reflected in the court, but also in the internal affairs, but also in the military. His greatest dream was to unify the Central Plains, which was also the common ideal of any group of people at the peak of the divided era in history. Yu Wentai thought so, and Gao Huan, another hero of his time, the Eastern Wei Dynasty, also thought so. As a result, the Western Wei and Eastern Wei fought four wars during the Yuwentai and Gao Huan periods. In the first battle of Xiaoguan, Yuwen Tai won; In the second battle of Shayuan, Yuwentai won again; In the third battle of the river bridge, Gao Huan defeated Yuwentai miserably after losing his number one general, Gao Aocao; In the last battle of Pishan, Gao Huan won a complete victory this time.

In general, the two are equal, but in troubled times, heroes are more heroes, both sides have a large number of civil and military generals, plus they themselves are also very powerful, they are good at employing people, good at admonishment, so in the next ten years, there was a relatively stable period in the north and south. During this period, the economy of both the north and the south has been restored to a certain extent, but in 556 AD, the Western Wei Dynasty fell into turmoil again, and the reason for the emergence of this turmoil was that the director of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai, died, no, it should be said that it collapsed, at least it was also a collapse (here, the ancient saying of the word death and the nickname are very particular, and it is very interesting, and then a chapter will be used to write about the ancient name and death, here in advance, this collapse is the death of the ancient emperor, such as the death, Xue is called Xue when the princes and ministers die), but in any case, the Western Wei Dynasty, which had just begun to recover, fell into turmoil again because of the death of Yuwentai.

In April 556 AD, Yuwentai toured the north, crossed the Beihe River in August, and contracted a serious illness when he arrived at the mountain on the way back in September. Although there were miracle doctors such as Huatuo Zhang Zhongjing in ancient times, but the transportation in ancient times was a big problem, and Yuwentai was seriously ill on the way to the north, although it was on the way back, but this Liantun Mountain is probably the current Ningxia Guyuan, and the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty is in Chang'an, which is now Xi'an. Needless to say, the distance is too far, coupled with the root of the disease left by the long-term war, so Yuwentai's illness has directly reached the level of being given a critical illness notice now. Although the doctor often plays a critical illness notice on TV, the patient can rely on his strong consciousness to recover himself, but unfortunately, Yuwentai's self-awareness is not as strong as those on TV, let alone self-recovery, so he is going to die.

Before he died, he was very sorry, he was really sorry, he was a powerful minister, why could he be a powerful minister? In addition to his own ability, one of the most important reasons is that the emperor is small, so he needs someone else to help manage it. There are many sayings about this help in history, the emperor and his mother are called curtain and listen to the government, the emperor and his uncle are called regents, and the emperor and his eunuchs and ministers are called power. Anyway, there is just one meaning, the emperor, you are too young, I will help you manage it, and when you grow up, I will return the power to you, of course, this will definitely be returned, but whether the emperor can grow up is a question. Although Yu Wentai is not the emperor, his power is greater than that of the emperor, and he has many sons, but they are still young, and they do not have the ability to fight those old foxes. So Yuwentai is afraid, afraid that another Yuwentai will appear, it doesn't matter if his son can't reach his current status, but at least he has to save his life, and the Yuwen family can't be left behind.

So, he made a deliberate and resolute decision, and he decided to call his nephew, Yubungo. This Yuwentai is Yuwentai's nephew, he followed Yuwentai to fight with the Eastern Wei Dynasty many times earlier, repeatedly made military exploits, and followed Yuwentai for many years, Yuwentai himself is more assured, but he forgot a sentence that wealth is moving, and power is even more moving. After Yuwen Hu came, Yuwentai said a lot, but the historical record is limited, but we can also think of playing the emotional card first: you are my nephew, my most optimistic junior, I have always liked you; Then lyrically, my ambition to unify the Central Plains has not yet been completed, and I am not reconciled; Secondly, I encourage you, only you can complete my ambition, you must complete my ambition; Finally, indicate the purpose, your brothers are still young, and I hope you can help them. This event is also famous in history, called Tuogu. It's just that Tuogu is also divided into many categories, one is like Zhuge Liang, who died with all his might, Liu Bei died, and Zhuge Liang was still struggling for the foundation of the old Liu family; The other type is to take your place after you die, and Yuwen Hu here is this kind of person. Faced with the supreme power at his fingertips or helping Yuwentai's son to obtain the supreme power, Yuwenhu made a choice after a little thought, and he chose to gain power by himself. I have to say that there are always some people in history who are so lucky that they have obtained the right to choose the pinnacle of power just because of a summons.

After Yu Wentai said a lot, thinking that his nephew could help his son to go more peacefully, he died. So far, this outstanding military strategist, politician, commander, reformer, and de facto ruler of the Western Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties has withdrawn from the stage of history, and after his death, he was posthumously named Emperor Wen, known as Emperor Wen of Zhou.
