And Yuwenzan and Yuwenzhen, shortly after Yang Jian became the emperor, "want to conform to the situation", that is, to conform to the human feelings, that is to say, for the sake of relatives, they were also awarded official positions such as Shangzhuguo and Dayoubi, who were also nominal, and at that time, they were still hairless and insecure, because Zhou Tianyuan was the eldest and was only twenty-two years old when he died.

Therefore, it is possible to stand up and speak, and the words are effective, only these five kings summoned them to the capital, on the grounds that Yuwenfang, the daughter of Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao, wanted to marry the Turks and relatives, and the kings should come to see them off.

This decree should have been issued to the Five Kings after the news of Zhou Tianyuan's death was released. Prior to this, Zhou Tianyuan was seriously ill, and he also sent a recruitment to these five kings, asking them to come to Que, that is, to enter the court and see the emperor.

These decrees calling the five kings should have arrived at different times, and the order was deliberately reversed.

Because of Zhou Tianyuan's death, it was secret at first, and it was not until May 23, twelve days later, that Yang Jian released the news of Zhou Tianyuan's death, because this was a premeditation and many things had been taken into account, so it was unlikely that the five kings would arrive in time. When the Five Kings arrived, Zhou Tianyuan had been dead for many days.

In May of the second year of the elephant (580 AD), after receiving the news of Yuwenyun's illness and death, he sent envoys to mourn and marry the princess and his relatives. Then, the holy decree to let the five kings come to attend the wedding of the princess was issued after Zhou Tianyuan died.

The arrival time of the five kings was in early June, and more than 20 days had passed since Zhou Tianyuan's death.

From this point of view, Yang Jian immediately before this time let the second holy decree issued by the five kings come to see off the princess Qianjin, because he was worried that they would not come, and because of this, he hurriedly agreed to the Turkic request for peace.

The marriage had been decided the year before. Soon after Zhou Tianyuan inherited the emperor's throne, the Turkic Khanate's Ashina Tuobo Khan sent a messenger to ask to be the son-in-law of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which is also the kind of situation we often see, that is, the country's leaders have changed, and the neighboring countries want to express themselves, which is a friendly gesture, Zhou Tianyuan agreed, on the condition that the other party was asked to hand over the exiled emperor Gao Shaoyi of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but at that time the Tuobo Khan did not agree, and the matter was temporarily put down.

This Gao Shaoyi is the third son of Emperor Gao Yang of Northern Qi Wenxuan. In 578, after the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Gao Shaoyi fled to the Turks. The Turks began to attach importance to him and let the fugitives from Northern Qi come under his jurisdiction. Later, Gao Baoning elected Gao Shaoyi as the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Yingzhou (the seat of the state is present-day Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province), and formed a government in exile.

Therefore, Gao Shaoyi's preservation zài is a hidden danger in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, although the Turkic Na Tuo Bo Khan's welcoming procession has arrived in the second lunar month, because there is no agreement on this exchange condition, these people probably did not leave, but sent people back to convey this message.

Zhou Tianyuan died suddenly, and Yang insisted on being in power, but he suddenly remembered this incident and agreed to this marriage, which had ulterior motives. Although the Turks later handed over Gao Shaoyi, the land was afterwards.

In doing so, Yang Jian could take the opportunity to summon the five kings into Beijing and catch them all.

Zhou Tianyuan reigned for only one year, he was the nephew of the five kings, but he killed his uncle Yu Wenxian, so these five uncles, as elders, did not attend his funeral, which is in line with etiquette and reasonable.

However, to participate in the wedding of Yuwen Zhao's daughter Princess Qianjin, to issue an edict in the name of Emperor Yuwen Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it seems too solemn, making people realize that this is just an excuse for another thing to do.

3. Stabbing

The five kings all have their fiefs and government soldiers, if they stay where they are, once there is a change, it will be difficult to control it, so Yang Jian found this somewhat exempt reason and summoned the five kings into Beijing in order to facilitate the capture of them all, and it is not difficult to see this clearly.

Zhao Yu and Wang Yu saw it clearly.

In addition to being a prince, because he was born in Wuchuan, he also led troops to fight, and he is the highest ranking person in the Yuwen family in the court, he is the seventh son of Yuwentai, that is, as Yan Zhiyi, who is a staunch non-party person, but wants to play Yang Jian's sworn enemy, said, the eldest of today's Fang Zhou Tianyuan's relatives, whether in terms of kinship or moral character, are all in line with the person who takes on the emperor's heavy responsibility, because he has become one of the referents of public opinion, so his mind should be itemized and must be kept clear.

However, he has another identity, he is a poet, known as one of the "three talented sons of Yuwen", the other two are, Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwentai's eldest son Yuwenyu, and Teng Wenwang, Yuwentai's thirteenth son Yuwenkui.

The problem is that there is a certain conflict between engaging in politics and writing poetry, the latter relies on imagination, but for the latter, reality cannot have any illusions.

This Yuwen poet usually had small talk with the famous poet Yu Xin and others at that time, so he naturally had to reduce some of the time for political calculations.

This is also the style of Chinese politicians as "scholars" for thousands of years, in order to show their talent and elegance, and to make it like Li Bai, a poet who appeared later, to engage in politics as the greatest pursuit of his life, in front of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, wasted a lot of expressions and dignity.

That is to say, if it is the other way around, poetry is excellent, that is, writing poetry and writing has leisure, and then becoming an official, it is problematic. Engaging in power tricks with rich imagination is like a man riding a blind horse, approaching the abyss in the middle of the night, and others are afraid to look at it on the side, and they will be frightened when they open their eyes.

Of course, there are some differences in the fact that this Zhao Yan Wang Zhao has led his troops to fight, and his left and right brains are changed, which makes people inconsistent.

Because of the above reasons, when Yuwen Zhao was summoned to the capital to see off his daughter, he thought of most practical problems, in this case, without the call of the holy decree, he was a father who naturally wanted to see off his daughter, but because of letting the princess marry the Turkic Khan, it was a life and death charm sent to him by Yang Jian, whether life or death, it was all determined by his own choice. Therefore, this time the five kings entered Beijing, and he saw that there was more than one bad luck.

Therefore, Yuwen Zhao has a contingency plan for this, that is for sure.

However, because he was also a poet, the unrealistic part of this plan was revealed in the subsequent implementation process, probably because the imagination was at work.

Yuwen Zhao's plan is to put on a Hongmen banquet.

This trap, which is a bit overused and seems to be indiscriminate, does not reflect the innovation that this gentleman should have as a poet by relying on his imagination in a big way.

However, it is indeed a bit strange that Yang Jian, who is usually extremely intelligent and sophisticated, actually took the risk of going to the banquet, as if he was unprepared for the possible situation.

For Yuwen Zhao, headed by the five kings, Yang Jian first began to show goodwill, in the name of the little emperor Zhou Jingdi, gave him privileges, the so-called "enter the dynasty does not tend, the sword goes to the palace", that is, when entering the court, you don't need to trot, and you can wear a sword and wear shoes to the palace, Cao Zhen in the Three Kingdoms, has also enjoyed this special grace treatment, and the hero Dong Zhuo, who is wearing shoes and swords, swaggering to the palace.

This is also a technique of anesthesia before surgery.

When Yuwen Zhao came to Chang'an, he left his youngest son Yuwen Guan in the fiefdom of Xiangguo, and he did this, but he couldn't help but say that there was a kind of consideration in case of accidents, and maybe there were other intentions, I don't know.

However, Wei Chi Yu used the banner of Yu Wen Guan to rise up and declare his opposition to Yang Jian, he should consider it, so it will bring danger to Yu Wen Zhao in the capital, even if he doesn't think about it, Yu Wen Guan should also think that Yu Chi Yu played the banner of Yu Wen Guan, and it is impossible for these two people to have no collusion in advance.

The time when Wei Chi rose was in June, and the specific day is not very clear in the historical records.

On May 28, Yang Jian appointed Wei Kuan as the governor of Xiangzhou and asked him to go and announce the dismissal of Chi Yuan's officials.

However, Wei Xiaokuan first sent Xiao Situ (Deputy Minister of the Interior) to inquire about the situation first, and after sensing the unfavorable situation, Wei Xiaokuan blocked the pursuing soldiers with a sprinkling array and fled back to Chang'an.

Later, Yang Jian sent the director of the Central Intelligence Agency to reconnoiter the situation, and wrote a secret letter to Wei Chi's secretary general, Jin Chang, the matter was revealed, and Wei Chi killed the two people, and when he saw the letter, he finally made up his mind to expose it.

In this way, Wei Chi Hui raised his troops before 10 June, because Yang Jian officially appointed Wei Xiaokuan as commander-in-chief on 10 June, and led the seven front armies composed of seven commanders to crusade against Wei Chi Yuan.

This should be before Yuwen Zhao set up the Hongmen Banquet.

It can be seen that Yang Jian knew that Wei Chi was raising troops under the banner of Yuwen's son, but he actually went to participate in this Hongmen banquet quietly.

The reason why Yang Jian wanted to go to the banquet was because he thought that this Yuwen Zhao didn't know that Wei Chi Yu had already risen up.

However, Yuwen Zhao really didn't know, if he knew, he wouldn't think that it was Yang Jian who was waiting, but the soldiers in Yang Jian's mansion.

Wei Chi Hui didn't know the situation in the capital, he saw Yang Jian's secret letter to Jin Chang, so he held high the banner of rebellion, and the premise of doing so should include that he thought that the matter had been exposed, and that King Zhao was either imprisoned or killed, and this may be the reason why he played the banner of Yuwenguan.

Yuwen recruited Yang Jian, but he decided to do it by himself, maybe he was afraid that if the matter did not succeed, several of his other brothers would be involved.

However, those who helped him do this, as well as his two sons, Yu Wenren and Yu Wenguan, as well as his brother-in-law Lu Feng, and a group of knife and axe men, were ambushed behind the tent.

Yuwen Guan was originally in the fiefdom of Xiangguo, but he appeared here at this time, he should have come to report the news, and in terms of time, it should have been when he set off, and Wei Chi Yu had not yet moved.

However, what is doubtful is that Yuwen Guan is not in the fiefdom of Xiangguo, how can this Wei Chi Yuan play his banner? That can only be done if they have already discussed it.

Yang Jian brought wine and food by himself, and the statement that Yuwen Zhao was a Hongmen banquet is not very accurate.

The two of them got together to drink, which is a good relationship.

Before the wine and food were arranged, Yuwen Zhao called Yang Jian to his bedroom.

This is Zhao Wangfu, not above the court hall, after all, Yuwen Zhao is the prince.

Yu Wenren, Yu Wenguan, and his brother-in-law Lu Feng stood with swords here.

From this point of view, it is not like the Hongmen Banquet, the wine has not been drunk yet, and this Yuwen move is too explicit.

Yang Jian followed up alone, a bit like going to the banquet alone. I don't know if I brought a knife or not. The cousin Yang Hong and the general Yuan Zhou who came with him brought knives, and a large group of entourages brought knives, but they were not allowed to enter the door here.

At this time, Yang Hong and Yuan Zhou stayed at the door of the bedroom.

It seems that this banquet is going to be placed in the dormitory, which is not usual. Because this is the way the prince acts, it's not easy to say.

Before waiting for Yang Jian to come in, this Yuwen Zhao whispered to his two sons, you see the opportunity, go up to the melon, and I will kill him when I see the opportunity.

So, the wine and food were served, and the two began to drink.

Now it's like a feast.

However, there was no one like Xiang Zhuang who came out to dance the sword to help the fun.

Although this Yuwen is a poet, he makes this matter not interesting at all.

It's just that the wine is drunk, and it is still in place, and when the wine is hazy, Yuwenzhao's second son came over to enter the melon.
