Chapter 181 [The Madness of Life]
Yu Wenyong reigned in the harem of more than a dozen people, how to satisfy Yu Wenyun's suppressed heart for more than ten years, so the world's beauty pageant filled the harem, in order to make the beauty feel at ease, add the name of the harem. He also drinks and has fun, and does not work for a few days. The ministers asked for things, and all the eunuchs played it.
Cheng Leyun of Jingzhao County originally advised the emperor not to be amnesty at every turn, but now the emperor has overdone it and has carried out severe punishments, and Leyun can't help it, and he has a heart, and he listed eight major sins for Yu Wenyun in a book.
First: arbitrarily and arbitrarily, leaving the prime minister and auxiliary politicians aside. Second: For the beauty pageant of the harem, it was stipulated that the daughters of officials above the same level were not allowed to marry, which made the officials and the people resentful. Third: As soon as the great emperor enters the harem, he does not leave the palace for several days, and the officials must go through the hands of the eunuchs.
Fourth: First issue an edict to lenient the punishment, but change course in half a year, which is stricter than the system. Fifth: change Gaozu's hard and simple style, poor and luxurious. Sixth: increase the taxes of the people, but indiscriminately enjoy the plays, etc. Seventh: If you make a mistake in writing a word, you will be punished. Eighth: celestial signs warn, unable to listen to the right way and conduct moral politics. Le Yun finally concluded that if these eight rules were not changed, the Zhou Dynasty would perish.
This piece of music was handed over, and Yu Wenyun jumped like thunder, "It's the other way around!" "Ordered someone to tie Le Yun out of the temple gate. The ministers were afraid, no one dared to speak, and they saw that Leyun was about to die. In the internal history, the doctor Yuan Yan sighed: People are proud to die with Zang Hong, let alone Bigan.
If luck is not spared death, I will die with it. Yuan Yan went to the palace to see Yu Wenyun and admonished: Le Yun knew that his performance would definitely annoy His Majesty, so he didn't care about death but wanted to seek fame with it. If His Majesty kills him, it will be his reputation as a loyal servant. His Majesty might as well let him go, in order to show holiness.
Yu Wenyun had calmed down at this time. Speaking of which, he is not a mediocre person, but he has endured it for too long and is in high spirits under the sudden release of pressure. Think about it. What Leyun said is not unreasonable. If this man is killed at this point, there will be one more loyal servant in the world. One more faint gentleman. Early the next morning, Yu Wenyun ordered someone to escort Le Yun back and loosen his ties, and said to him: I thought of Aiqing last night, which was really a loyal minister's act, I invited you to dinner, I hope you don't take it to heart.
Le Yun walked through the ghost gate in this way. The ministers thought that Leyun would die, but at this moment they came to congratulate each other when they saw their escape from the tiger's mouth, and Leyun was upright, and he had already made a blunt statement in the era of Yuwen Yong. Zheng Yi once entrusted him to do private affairs, but Leyun refused because he was out of line, so the prince's party has never liked him very much.
Luck is lucky, and Yang Wenyou, another minister, does not have this luck, but he said that Corporal Yang Wenyou saw that the emperor was lascivious, did not listen to advice, and indulged in impermanence, so he composed a song to his boss Gong Bo Changsun Lan, hoping that Changsun Lan could make a speech to the emperor. The song sings: The morning is also drunk, the twilight is also drunk, the day is always drunk, and the political affairs are not timely.
Although the eldest grandson Lan knew that Yang Wenyou's song did not spread rumors. But he didn't dare to persuade the emperor directly. The eldest grandson Lan inadvertently passed the lyrics to Zheng Yi, saying that now people are singing that the Supreme is addicted to wine, and he hopes that Zheng Yi can persuade the emperor. After all, Zheng Yi's relationship with the emperor is not ordinary.
Who knew that Zheng Yi had a bad stomach, he would only be obedient to the emperor. He told the emperor about this, but he did not advise. Instead, he sued the emperor for a corporal who actually wrote a song to ridicule the government, and the real crime should not be punished. Yu Wenyun was furious when he said this, and ordered Yang Wenyou to be rewarded with two hundred and forty rods, but before the two hundred and forty rods were executed, Yang Wenyou was already angry, and he was so frightened that the eldest grandson Lan no longer dared to talk nonsense.
Soon, Yu Wenyun hit the idea of Luoyang again, Luojing is where the Central Plains is located, although it was destroyed by Gao Huan, it doesn't matter, it can be rebuilt, as long as there is money and someone can't do it?
Yu Wenyun edict to Luoyang for Tokyo, sent 40,000 soldiers from Shandong Zhuzhou to build Luoyang Palace, Yecheng's stone Jing moved back to Luoyang, moved the six prefectures of Xiangzhou to Luoyang, set up six prefectures in Tokyo, and directly governed Heyang, Youzhou, Xiangzhou, Yuzhou, Haozhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou seven governors. Yu Wenyun personally went to Luoyang to arrange, and set up the prince Lu Wang Yuwen as the crown prince in Luoyang.
The new emperor ascended the throne, Zheng Yi ascended the throne, and the king of Qi died unjustly, and a series of changes had already alarmed Wang Liang, the governor of Xuzhou. Wang Liang knew that something was wrong, and he had a strong premonition that his time was approaching. I think that at the beginning, I tried to persuade the first emperor to abolish the prince in front of the public many times, can the prince not hate himself? Now, the first emperor said he would leave, and the crown prince also sat on the supreme seat, can he not hold a grudge and let himself go?
What's more, there are ordinary villains like Zheng Yi fanning the flames on the side, looking back, He Ruobi is really much smarter than himself. However, Wang Liang does not regret what he has done, if there is a chance to turn back time and let a qiē start all over again, he will still do it, he firmly believes that he is not selfish, and he is all for the sake of the great cause of the empire, even if he is broken, what is he afraid of?
Do it knowing that you can't do it, and do what a gentleman does. Xuzhou is located in the Zhou-Chen border, far away from Chang'an, the Xuzhou Governor's Office is the elite of the Zhou army, they once destroyed the most powerful army of the Chen State in one fell swoop, since the capture of Wu Mingche, Wang Liang's prestige is in full swing, in Xuzhou and even Zhou, he has become a banner, at this time if the army is self-respecting, it is not a difficult thing to think about.
In other words, with Wang Liang's ability, it is not difficult to protect himself from Xuzhou. However, Wang Liang was too influenced by Yuwen Yong in his life, they once overthrew the ministers together, and it was Yuwen Yong who gave up many famous generals who could fight without letting him take command to rescue Xuzhou to achieve his feats. No matter how bastard Yuwenyun is, he is the emperor of the Great Zhou after all, the heir of Emperor Wu, and his own majesty, and his name has been decided.
Reading is reasonable, and Wang Liang, who is a good reader, is determined to be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou. The left and right knew very well about Wang Rail's situation, and they persuaded Wang Rail not to sit idly by, and it was a self-protection strategy to divide one side or even defect to Chen State. Wang Liang wanted to dispel the idea of rebellion left and right, the person the emperor wanted to kill was himself, for the sake of the country, and he would never be embarrassed by everyone, so he said to the left and right: I planned for the society in the first dynasty, and I have no regrets, and today's events have long been expected.
As you and others said, Xuzhou controls Huainan and is close to a strong enemy, and if you plan for yourself, it will naturally be easy. However, loyalty and righteousness are what I value, and I can't lose it, not to mention that I am deeply favored by the emperor, how can I be questioned by the heir for fear of being asked. I forgot the kindness of the first emperor.
It's just here to die, I believe in a thousand years. and the world shall know that I am faithful. Left and right were moved by Wang Liang's words, and couldn't help crying. Wang Rail's sixth sense is very strong. In fact, Zheng Yi had been planning to do something to him for a long time.
In the trip to Tuyuhun that year, Wang Rail not only offended the prince, but also offended the prince's close friend, after Tuyuhun, one was trusted, the other was suppressed, Zheng Yi never thought he was wrong, he thought that every qiē was Wang Rail slandering the emperor. All of them are ghosts made by Wang Rail, so Zheng Yi hates Wang Rail to the core. One day, Yu Wenyun stroked the scars on his feet, remembered his father's merciless cane scolding, and said to Zheng Yi hatefully: My feet have been beaten with canes many times, and they are scarred, and the old guy is too ruthless.
His Majesty, the first emperor was just deceived by others. Well? Who chews the root of the tongue? Zheng Yi replied: It's all caused by the Karasuma rail.
Wang Liang gave the surname Karasuma. That's why it's called Karasuma rail. Zheng Yi hated Wang Rail, Yu Wenyun knew it, and he had also heard Wang Rail say bad things about himself, and he didn't dare to verify it when he was a man with his tail between his legs. At this time, when he heard Zheng Yi talk about it, he was moved to kill in his heart, but he was worried that Zheng Yi lied and killed the wrong good person, after all, Wang Liang guarded Xuzhou and guarded the southern gate of Zhou. So I called Yuwen Xiaobo over to confirm whether what Zheng Yi said was accurate from Yuwen Xiaobo's mouth.
As one of Yuwen Yong's cronies, although Yuwen Xiaobo did not openly oppose the crown prince like Wang Liang. But he agrees with Wang Rail's opinion of the crown prince from the bottom of his heart, now. The crown prince ascended the throne, and it was a big sin to speak ill of the crown prince.
After Yuwenxian was unjustly killed, the young and old of the Yuwen family saw Yuwenyun's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, they have been honest and down-to-earth since then, no one dares to pretend to be a member of the Yuwen family and dare to be presumptuous, Yuwen Xiaobo also lives cautiously, lest Yuwenyun's butcher's knife will fall on his head.
In order to clean himself up, Yuwen Xiaobo not only confirmed Zheng Yi's statement, but even quietly told Yuwenyun about Wang Liang's advice at the banquet that year. Yuwen Xiaobo only cared about his own loyalty, and this time he made Wang Liang miserable, and the old matter was brought up again, and Yuwen Yun was furious. "The old man had been trying to put me to death. Intended, Du Qingxin went to Xuzhou to execute Karasuma Rail on the spot. ”
Yuwen Xiaobo didn't expect Yuwen Yun to start so quickly, and hurriedly persuaded him, but it was too late, where could the things that Yuwen Yun had decided be changed casually, and the emperor was Chrysostom. "Your Majesty, don't act recklessly." Someone is not happy anymore. According to the imperial court system, the emperor's edict needs to be signed by the internal history, and the doctor Yuan Yan in the internal history refuses to sign the edict and persuade the emperor to withdraw the order. Yuwen Yun was unmoved, Yuan Yan had no choice but to withdraw from the hall, he was unwilling, and asked Yan Zhiyi, the doctor of Yuzhengzhong, to help. Yan Zhiyi hurried to the palace.
Zhiyi is not an ordinary person, of course, he is not famous for his younger brother Yan Zhi, mainly because Yan Zhitui wrote a few books, especially "Yan's Family Motto" became an important historical material for the study of that era, the two of them became famous as teenagers, and became officials in Jiangling, after the fall of Jiangling, they were escorted to Chang'an as prisoners, Yan Zhiyi fled to Northern Qi, Yan Zhiyi was promoted by Yuwen Yu to be a bachelor of the Lintoe Palace, and later Yuwen Yong chose a teacher for his son and took it as a waiter.
Yan Zhiyi is upright by nature, and has repeatedly admonished Yuwen Zhen against Yan Qiang, which makes Yuwen Yun a little afraid of him, but for this master, Yu Wenyun admires it, and knows that the master is for his own good, so although he does not adopt many opinions, he does not add guilt. As usual, Yan Zhiyi once again committed Yan's direct admonition, which made Yuwen Zhen angry, and ordered someone to drag him down to ask for the crime.
Hearing that Yan Zhiyi was taken into custody for questioning, Yuan Yan went out, he broke into the hall again, this time he took off his official hat, and shook his head to the ground, three into three bows, how could Yu Wen Yun be iron-hearted, and angrily reprimanded: Do you want to form a party with Karasuma Rail? Motoyan Dao: The minister is definitely not in a league with the Karasuma track, what I am worried about is killing the track and losing the heart of the world.
Yu Wenyun was even more angry, and ordered Yuan Yan to be pulled left and right to drive him out of the palace. In this way, Wang Liang calmly went to his death, and Yuan Yan was also deposed at home, but Yan Zhiyi was still acquitted. When people all over the world hear it, they can't help but shed tears for it. As soon as Wang Liang died, the ministers who were originally close to Yuwen Yong became even more uneasy.
Wei Chiyun said to Yuwen Xiaobo in private: We must not be able to escape this disaster, how can we be good? Yuwen Xiaobo sighed: Now there is an old mother in the hall, and there is Emperor Wu underground, who is a minister and a son, what can I do if I know. At the moment, you should think about yourself and stay away from this place of right and wrong. So Wei Chiyun asked to be released to Qinzhou.
In fact, when Yu Wenyun was the crown prince, Wei Chiyun was the palace and persuaded the prince to take the right path many times. At that time, the crown prince suspected that Yu Chiyun, Yuwen Xiaobo, Wang Rail, and Yuwen Shenju were speaking ill of themselves in front of their father. Now that the king has been disposed of, the others cannot be forgiven either.
One day. Yuwen Yun's responsibilities Yuwen Xiaobo said: The public knows that the five kings rebelled, why didn't they say it earlier? Filial piety: The minister only knows that the king of Qi is loyal to the community and slanders the group. It's useless to say, so don't say it. And the first emperor once instructed Weichen, but now he only knows how to counsel His Majesty, and now he does not obey the advice, which is really a burden, and he is willing to take it as a crime. Yuwen Xiaobo's words also made Yuwen Yun a little conscience and bowed his head and was silent. But. Soon Yuwen Xiaobo was given to die at home.
Yuwen Shenju did not escape the fate of being killed, and the envoy went to Bingzhou, and a glass of poisoned wine was sent on the way. Wei Chi was transported to Qinzhou, and soon died of fright. So far, all the members of Yuwen Yong's small circle have been arrested. After playing for less than a year, Yu Wenyun is a little tired.
Generally speaking, the emperor is a lifelong position, and once the power is in his hands, it is until death does not relax. The emperor is another high-risk position. Too many people stared at this position, and many emperors were abdicated and then gone.
Back then, Zu Ting of the Northern Qi Dynasty fooled Emperor Gao Zhan. said that being an emperor is not the highest state of life, the highest state is to be the emperor, so Gao Zhan, who was twenty years old, passed the emperor's seat to his son Gao Wei and became the emperor. No one gave Yu Wenyun an idea. But the same Emperor of the Great Zhou, who was in his twenties, also wanted to experience what it was like to be the Emperor Taishang.
On February 19, 579 AD, hundreds of officials and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered in the Chang'an Palace. The emperor held a grand court meeting, but the officials did not expect it. This was actually the succession conference of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The supreme leader of the empire, Yu Wenyun, announced that he would pass the throne to the crown prince Yu Wenxian, proclaimed himself Emperor Tianyuan, and changed the Yuan Elephant. Is there any difference between Emperor Tian Yuan and an emperor?
& The palace where the emperor lives is called Zhengyang Palace, and the jade pendant on the emperor's crown is twelve strings, and the Tianyuan Emperor doubles, twenty-four strings! Zhengyang Palace set up officials such as Nayan, Yuzheng, and Zhuwei, and major events must be reported to Tiantai for decision. The Emperor Taishang on the rooftop pondered blindly when he had nothing to do, and one day he suddenly thought that he was the Son of Heaven in the past, and now that his son is sitting on the Son of Heaven, then he is the Heaven himself.
The emperor smiled and issued an edict! From then on, the emperor was called me, and the Tianyuan emperor was called heaven. You can't use ordinary dishes and chopsticks to eat on the rooftop, but you should use ritual utensils such as bottles, Yi, 珀, and 瓅. If the minister wants to see the Tiantai court, it is equivalent to seeing the immortals, and the rule is to eat fast for three days and clean up for one day. The hat of the heavenly belt is also exquisite, wearing a twelve-colored ribbon, wearing a crown through the sky, and adding a golden cicada. According to the system, there are also golden cicadas on the hats of the attendants and regular attendants, so Emperor Tianyuan ordered everyone to remove the golden cicadas.
The emperor has become too emperor, and the others will also be upgraded. Empress Dowager Ashina became the Empress Dowager of Tianyuan, Empress Dowager Li became the Empress Dowager of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan's main palace Niangniang is called Empress Tianyuan, the mother is precious to the son, Emperor Yuwenxian's biological mother Zhu Manyue was respected as the Emperor of Heaven, Zhu Manyue was a native of Wu, because of the crime of his family, Zhu Lian was confiscated into the East Palace, responsible for the prince's clothes, the lucky Miss Zhu played a one-night stand with the prince who was in love, Yuwenyun was impulsive, but Miss Zhu's stomach was angry, and the son was born, this is Yuwenyun's eldest son, because Yang Lihua did not give birth to a son, And the boy became the firstborn.
Zhu Manyue is more than ten years older than Yu Wenyun, and her background is humble, and it is her son who guarantees her status. The words heaven, high, Shang, and big belong to sensitive words, and Emperor Tianyuan can use them, and others are not allowed to use them, and all the official names and taboos have been changed, and there is no record in the history books, so it is difficult to imagine what the position of the great general will become.
However, it is recorded that the surname Gao was changed to Jiang, and the ancestor of the nine clans was called Changzu. Like Gao Yang, who was messing around back then, he also had some inexplicable orders, such as the car must be wheeled by a log, and women in the world are not allowed to apply powder, yellow eyebrows and ink makeup, but women in the palace are exceptions. Yu Wenyun convened the ministers to discuss the matter, and the main topic was how to change, the game was impermanent, the entry and exit were unruly, the honor guard went out early and returned at night, and the officials were miserable.
There are upright people among the hundred officials, how can they sit back and watch the emperor mess around, and those who write books, play, and advise one after another, Yu Wenyun is annoyed, and he can't prohibit everyone from speaking, psychologically, he also wants to be a Ming Jun. But how to shut up everyone, Yu Wenyun had a crooked idea, he asked the left and right to secretly reconnoiter the movements of the hundred officials, and sent secret agents to track and record the whereabouts of the hundred officials. So the emperor had a record of the crimes of a hundred officials.
One day, so-and-so was about to admonish the emperor, and the emperor suddenly issued a certain charge, and took a certain person down for questioning, the emperor's evidence was conclusive, and a certain person had no choice but to admit his guilt, and some people were beaten up because of this, some people were dismissed from office, and some people lost their lives. In this way, the ministers understood what was going on, so no one dared to do anything against the emperor anymore.
The Great Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyun used this rogue method to get rid of hundreds of officials. The hundred officials have stopped, and Yu Wenyun still has heart disease, that is, several of his uncles, these are both civil and military, and their military achievements are outstanding, in front of them, Yu Wenyun still dare not make a mistake.
In order to commend the great achievements of the uncles, Xiangguo County is Zhao State, Jinan County is Chen State, Wudang and Anfu County are Yue Kingdom, Shangdang County is Daiguo, Xinye County is Teng State, and Yi is ten thousand households; He ordered Zhao Wangzhao, Chen Wangchun, Yue Wangsheng, Dai Wangda, and Teng Wangkui to go to the vassal kingdom together. Regarding this matter, Suigong Yang Jian commented, and he said to Yuwen Shenqing: Tianyuan has no virtue, looking at its appearance, it is not a long-lived person. The vassal state is weak, it is not a deep-rooted plan, and the wings are cut, how far can it fly? (To be continued......)
