Yuwentai thought about it, but he really couldn't think of a good way, so he discussed with his old friend Su Sui, and Su Sui said two words "innovation".

Yu Wentai was puzzled. Su Sui said again: The most painful thing now is that everyone has no sense of belonging culturally, to put it bluntly, you are not orthodox, and people do not dump you. Cao Cao is always scolded, isn't he unorthodox? Yuwentai continued to be puzzled, saying that I am not orthodox, and the emperor is in my hands, isn't it orthodox enough? "You have an emperor, and Gao Huan also has an emperor in his hands, right?

The Liang State in the south also had an emperor, didn't he? What's more, we are still an artificial emperor, and the emperor in the south is still pure natural. "How's that good?

Su Sui has two more words: "reform". Change what? Su Sui said: "It is to perfectly combine China's traditional culture with modern science and technology to create an original and contemporary political system, that is, to restore the Zhou Dynasty system."

Now there is a scholar culture in Shandong and a Confucian culture in the south, and the system implemented since the Han and Jin dynasties is the system, let's make a system of the Zhou Dynasty, hundreds of years better than him, to see who is more orthodox. "Why?

It's simple, it's right! So let's carry out reforms. How to change it? Five aspects: First: the establishment of the government soldier system, the establishment of the Eight Pillars State, the twelve generals, can open the government and build a government, can recruit troops and buy horses, establish a leading group, those old guys from the ministry to the chairman of the autonomous region, who is not willing to do it! It's called retaining the team.

Second: Change the county wang (county wang, explained earlier) of the people who moved from Shandong to Guannei, and the people in the province are always homesick.

It's called keeping the heart. Third: change the surname, change the surname of the generals of the government soldiers to the surname Hu, and require their subordinates to follow the surname of the leader. It's all a family from now on. That's easy. It's called retaining people.

Fourth: give the land, and tie it to the land. The generals of the government and soldiers were given fields and soldiers. Where there is land, there is money, and this is called keeping money. Fifth: Taking advantage of the geographical advantage that Chang'an is the birthplace of Zhou, the official system of "Zhou Li" was combined with his Xianbei tribal system to establish the six official systems of spring, summer, autumn, winter, heaven and earth, and compete with the Eastern Wei and Xiao Liang.

It's called retaining culture. The result? Let's quote Mr. Chen Yinke's words: "Yuwentai mixed the Shandong people he brought with the Guannei people, and the Han people with the Xianbei people, and formed a powerful army with a nationality in Guanzhong, a professional soldier, a Hu people, and a tribal organization, to compete with the Eastern Wei and Xiao Liang for the world."

This led to the formation of a group in the Guanzhong region -- the Guanlong Group. (This passage is a classic interpretation of the noun "Guanlong Group"). They were both government generals and Guanzhong wealthy clans, and the generals and Guanzhong wealthy clans were mixed together, so that this group took root in Guanzhong. Of course, this move was not completed in one year, but not long after the implementation of the whole plan, the entire Guanzhong area, thinking in one place, working hard in one place, three years to surpass the British, five years to catch up with the United States.

Everywhere there are scenes of labor in full swing. The slogan "The emperor has no borders, and the prime minister is in good health" is fluttering everywhere.

Not to mention that the results are really good, let's not talk about anything else, let's take this government soldier system as an example, this soldier's red heart has two preparations, carrying a sickle when fighting, and carrying a big knife when cutting wheat. The state has not only earned income but also saved a large amount of wages and expenses, and it is absolutely a modern peasant soldier with multiple skills.

Sure enough, as soon as the reform was implemented, the national strength gradually became stronger, and Gao Huan in the east did not take advantage of the tug-of-war for more than ten years, and was also generalized every once in a while. What makes Gao Huan most depressed is that as soon as the Yellow River freezes every winter after that, Yuwentai can lie in the hot quilt, and his wife and children can heat the kang, and it is Gao Huan's turn to work the night shift.

In 546, the battle of Yubi was defeated by the famous general Wei Xiaokuan of the Western Wei Dynasty, the hero I, the old and vigorous Gao Huan, who had suffered such a gas in his life, and the result was in a hurry, Gao Huan was not Liu Huan after all, and his lung capacity was not so large, and he finally survived the first day of the first month of 547, and he died. Sample, if you can't be killed, you won't be angry. After Gao Huan worshipped, the contradiction between his son Gao Cheng and the powerful minister Hou Jing intensified, and later directly led to the rebellion of Hou Jing, which we will not show for the time being.

Just say that this Yuwentai since Gao Huan's death, greatly relieved, many years of daughter-in-law boiled into a mother-in-law, many years of Bodhisattva boiled into a Buddha, Yuwentai did not become a Buddha, but it is not far from ascending to heaven, many years of conquest, living a precarious life, but the opponent is the driving force, Gao Huan is in, Yuwentai is full of energy, Gao Huan died, Yuwentai felt lost, it seems that he can't find the goal. His health deteriorated, and the people in their forties grew older, and in April 556 they began to tour the north. When I arrived in Ningxia in October, after six months of turbulence, I couldn't afford to get sick, so I went to wait for Marx first. (Marx hasn't gone yet!) ）

Of course, Yuwentai is not an ordinary person, and he has to do one thing before going to see the Buddha: urgently recruit his nephew Yuwenhu, and make a will: Dear people and comrades-in-arms of the Western Wei Dynasty, before you see this will, I just made a very difficult decision, before my sons have grown up, I decided to hand over the party, government and military power to my nephew Yuwenhu plenipotentiary agent. Guys, Kase.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is a difficult decision, who is Yuwentai, of course, there will be no ambiguity on the issue of the relay. However, there is a little doubt, he said that his son is young, which does not seem to be true, because his eldest son Yu Wenyu is twenty-three years old, and he also graduated from college today, not to mention that people were so precocious back then? Of course, there is a reason why Yu Wentai said this. Let's take a look at the combination of his subordinates at that time: Yuwentai in order to establish the Guanlong group, unite the majority, set up the Eight Pillars Kingdom and the Twelve Generals, on the surface, everyone calls them brothers, a group of harmony, in fact, they are all face and heart, the composition is very complicated, among these people,

Among them, following Yuwentai's self-made six town generals (including Yuwentai):

Five pillars: Yu Wentai, Li Bi, Yu Jin, Zhao Gui, Hou Mo and Chen Chong.

Six generals: Yu Wendao, He Lanxiang, Yang Zhong, Da Xiwu, Dou Luning, Wang Xiong.

These people are basically reliable for Yuwentai.

The Shandong faction (which can also be called the royalist faction> followed Emperor Xiaowu into the customs

Three pillars: Yuan Xin, Li Hu, Dugu Xin,

Five generals: Yuan Zan, Yuan Yu, Yuan Kuo, Hou Mo Chen Shun, and Yu Wengui.

These people are reliable for Emperor Xiaowen.

There is one local powerful faction in Guanzhong: that is the general Li Yuan.

Why do you classify them? Because their identity background has a lot to do with the political pattern of China in the following decades. If you don't believe it, look down.

By the time Yuwentai died, the Western Wei and Eastern Wei were evenly matched, and the battle was basically over. At this time, Li Hu and Yu Wendao had died young, except for a few royal honorary advisors surnamed Yuan. (of the royal family, give some face), the remaining 13 comrades are all god-of-war figures, crawling out of the pile of dead people, looking at these old guys, Yuwentai didn't dare to die even if he thought about it. However, after all-round and three-dimensional considerations, he finally decided to pass on the power to Yuwen Go.

Some people may have doubts that he is neither the Shangzhu Kingdom nor the Twelve Great Generals, and there are so many sons, why is it his turn?

There really is no way, this is Yuwentai's only choice. Let's see, when he was critically ill, what was the surrounding environment like? The rival in the east, the Eastern Wei (soon replaced by the Northern Qi), is still there, that is the enemy, the Liang State in the south (replaced by Chen in the second year) is still there, that is the enemy, the Tuyuhun in the west is still there, that is also the enemy, the Turks in the north are still there, although they are friends for the time being, but the Turks have always liked to ride on the wall, see the wind and make the rudder, no one can guarantee that they will become enemies that day.

In fact, at this time, the Western Wei Dynasty was surrounded on all sides, and the shape was very nervous, coupled with domestic problems, the dying Yuwentai was a little dumbfounded, and I estimated that there were at least four uneasy:

I don't worry about it internally, that is, I don't worry about my family, Yuwentai's thirteen sons, although the eldest Yuwenyu is twenty-three years old, but he doesn't have much military merit, and he doesn't have much prestige, so he can only be regarded as a second-generation official with no qualifications, not to mention the others. Therefore, when Yuwentai said that he was young, he actually meant that he was naïve and not sophisticated enough. In that era of barbaric growth and seniority, as soon as Lao Tzu died, the orphans and widows really couldn't imagine.

I don't feel at ease with the outside world, that is, the international shape is very complicated, we talked about it earlier.

Don't worry about it, what do you mean, the puppet regime of the Western Wei Dynasty is still there, no matter how bad it is, no matter how puppet it is, people are still an emperor, but this is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is a group of fans behind the emperor, which is not terrible, what is terrible is that there are several die-hard fans of these fans who are fighting on the battlefield, Duguxin and the like. These people don't want to be puppet fans, they all have heavy weapons and they don't have a good temper. In case one day the gun goes wrong, it's not a joke.

I don't worry about my subordinates, these fathers who followed him to fight in the east and west, the composition is more complicated, (there are three factions of the six towns, the royalist faction and the local faction, as mentioned earlier), most of them have similar qualifications as themselves, and all of them are feudal officials, and once they die, they are afraid that no one will be able to control them.

There are so many worries, someone has to solve it, the father and son are soldiers, and the son is too young. Fighting the tiger brothers, all three brothers are dead (a little depressed). The only ones left who are closer are nephews and nephews.

The eldest nephew, Yuwen Shifei, stayed in Jinyang to accompany his mother and was killed by Gao Huan. The second nephew, Yuwen Dao, is brave and resourceful, has been trained for more than ten years, and is most suitable for being a guardian, but unfortunately his life is shorter than himself. Looking at it now, among the cronies, there are only four people who can rely on the trust: the third nephew Yu Wenhu (Yu Wendao's younger brother), nephew Wei Chi Hui, Yu Chi Gang and He Lanxiang. Let's compare: In terms of military merits, the three nephews are much taller than their nephews, and all of them are good at fighting, but unfortunately, Yuwentai needs handsome, not generals.

On character: Yuwen Hu's city is the deepest.

On age: Yu Wenhu is forty-four years old, He Lanxiang is forty-two years old, Wei Chi Hui is forty-one years old, and Wei Chi Gang is forty years old. Yuwen Hu is the largest.

On management: Yuwen Hu is above the other three, although Helan Xiang also governs local states and counties very well, but he is not as good as Yuwen Hu in terms of control methods. This is the most important point of Yuwentai: Yuwenhu has a decisive personality, calmness, and is good at co-ordination.

Of course, there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, Yuwen Hu is from the Yuwen family, although the other three were also raised by Yuwentai, but after all, they are nephews, not surnamed Yuwen. In the era of the family as the core, this is very important, not to mention the wealthy nobles.

With these points, Yuwen Hu became Yuwentai's appointed guardian of power, which was a must.

But what happened in the future was also something that Yuwentai really didn't expect, because of his decision, a bloody battle was about to begin, and there were those he wanted to see and those he didn't want to see when he died. So what did Yuwen Hu do? Check out the next one: Pas de Deux

It is said that in 556 AD, Yuwentai toured north to Ningxia, and suddenly fell ill, so he urgently recruited his nephew Yuwenhu to come and entrust the future. On October 4, he walked to Yunyang (Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province), and then left behind the Guanzhong country that he had set a hand and went west. Yuwen Hu held back his grief and hurriedly escorted the coffin to the capital, the forty-four-year-old Yu Wenhu knew very well that now was not the time to cry, the situation inside and outside was very unstable, especially the leader died outside, people's minds changed, and it would be a big mess.

So the first priority at the moment is to keep it secret. In fact, it only took half a day for Yunyang to get to Chang'an, but it was only half a day, and it had to be highly confidential, which shows how dangerous the situation was at that time. Fortunately, there was no communication equipment at that time, which supported the flying pigeon to pass the book, and the secrecy work was easy to do. It's not like everyone uses ** now, farts at night, and the whole country knows about it the next day.

On October 5, the coffin went to Chang'an secretly, and then officially announced the death, followed by a memorial service. At the same time, it was announced that the 15-year-old prince Yuwen Jue would inherit his father's official position and title, and serve as Taishi, Zhuguo (first rank of honorable officer) and Prime Minister (Otsuka Zai). to his father's base camp in Tongzhou (Dali County, Shaanxi Province).

Here's a question, why is Yuwentai's eldest son, 23-year-old Yuwen Yu, only fifteen-year-old Yuwen Jue? There is a reason for this, the traditional Chinese heir system is to establish a descendant but not a concubine, that is to say, you must choose the son born to the eldest wife, not the son born to the younger wife, regardless of age. This Yuwenjue is very lucky, it was born by Yuwentai's wife.
