Decree the selection of a son-in-law

In the second year of the elephant (580), Yuwen Eying's father Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died, Yuwen Eying's half-brother Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Xian was young, and Yuwen Eying's maternal grandfather Prime Minister Yang Jian assisted in the government. In the first year of Kaihuang (581), Yang Jian usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty for Emperor Wen of Sui.

In the sixth year of the emperor's reign (586), Yuwen Eying's mother Yang Lihua was named Princess Leping [1], and at this time Yuwen Eying also reached the age of marriage, and her maternal grandfather Emperor Wen of Sui issued an order to choose a son-in-law for her, and gathered at the Hongsheng Palace on the order of the emperor, waiting for the son-in-law of the noble son, and there were hundreds of people every day. His mother, Princess Leping, Yang Lihua, personally let the nobles who participated in the selection of sons-in-law introduce themselves and try their skills in the tent. If you don't choose, let them out. When Li Min, the son of Li Chong, the governor of Youzhou, entered the test, he was selected as his son-in-law by Princess Leping.

Li Min pretended to borrow a product of Yuyi, and his gift was like marrying the emperor's daughter. Later, when she was about to serve Emperor Wen of Sui for a banquet, Princess Leping said to Li Min: "I have given the whole world to the emperor, and I have only one son-in-law, so I should ask for the position of the pillar country for you." If the emperor approves you to be another official, you must not thank you and accept it. When he came to see Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Wen of Sui personally played the pipa and asked Li Min to sing and dance. Emperor Wen of Sui was very happy and said to Princess Leping: "Is Li Min any official? Princess Leping replied, "He is nothing but a white ding." Emperor Wen of Sui said to Li Min: "Now I will give you the position of Yitong." Li Min should not admit it. Emperor Wen of Sui said: "Dissatisfied with your wishes? Now I will give you the opening of the house. Li Min should not be thanked. Emperor Wen of Sui said: "Princess Leping has made great contributions to me, why should I be stingy with her son-in-law!" Now I give you the position of Pillar Kingdom! Li Min danced and thanked him. Emperor Wen of Sui then wrote an edict on the dragon throne to grant Li Minzhu the country, and was on duty in the palace as an official.

Poisoned

In the fifth year of the Great Cause (609), when Yang Lihua died[4], before his death, he asked his younger brother Emperor Yang of Sui: "I have no son, only a daughter." I am not afraid of death, but I deeply love my daughter and son-in-law. My existing food is begging to be given to Li Min. Emperor Yang of Sui agreed to her request. Li Min's food estates were later increased to 5,000 households, and Li Min was appointed as the general of the Tun Guard.

In the eleventh year of the Great Cause (615), Fang Shi Anjia said: "The Li family should be the Son of Heaven", and he persuaded Emperor Yang of Sui to kill all the people surnamed Li in the world. Li Min's nickname is Hong'er, and Emperor Yang of Sui suspected that this name just fulfilled the proverb, and once told Li Min about it in person, hoping that Li Min would commit suicide. Li Min was terrified, and he talked privately with his cousins Li Hun and Li Shanheng about the matter several times. Yu Wenshu said bad things about Li Hun in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, and asked Hu Benlang to report Pei Renji to Li Hun for rebellion. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty imprisoned Li Hun and other families, and sent Shangshu Zuo Cheng Yuan Wendu and Imperial Historian Pei Yun to treat Li Hun together. They interrogated for several days, but they couldn't find the charge that Li Hun wanted to rebel, so they reported it to Emperor Yang of Sui according to the truth. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Yuwenshu to try his best to investigate Li Hun's crimes, and Yuwenshu lured Yuwen'e Ying to falsely accuse Li Hun of plotting to attack the imperial camp with the children of the generals in his family when the Sui army crossed the Liao River, and then proclaimed Li Min as the Son of Heaven. Yuwenshu took this false accusation and reported it to Emperor Yang of Sui, who wept and said: "My temple was almost overturned, and it was all up to you to save it. On the fifth day of the third month of the same year, Emperor Yang of Sui executed Li Hun, Li Min, Li Shanheng and thirty-two members of their clan, and the relatives of the three clans were exiled to remote areas. A few months later, Yuwen Eying was also poisoned to death by her uncle Emperor Yang of Sui.
