At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, state affairs were controlled by Gao Huan, a powerful minister. In 534, Emperor Xiaowu, the last emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, betrayed Gao Huan and fled to Yu Wentai, another powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, for asylum.
Gao Huan simply chose Yuan, who was only eleven years old, as emperor, and was called "Emperor Xiaojing" by the "Great Wei" emperor. Gao Huan, with Yecheng as its capital, continues to dominate the state affairs. Seeing this, Yu Wentai killed Emperor Xiaowu in the second year, and made Nanyang Wang Yuanbao the Emperor of Luoyang, known as "Emperor Zhao Wen" in history. The regime established by Yu Wentai was the Western Wei Dynasty, and the "Yu Wenshi" in Chu Qiao Zhuan was his family. The regime established by Gao Huan was the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
In the seventeenth year of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, only Emperor Xiaojing was the first emperor, and Gao was always in charge of state affairs. In 550, Gao Huan's son Gao Yang took control of state affairs, forcing Emperor Xiaojing to abdicate and the Eastern Wei Dynasty perished. Gao Yang established the Northern Qi Dynasty, and named Emperor Xiaojing the "King of Zhongshan". At the beginning of 552, Gao Yang, who stabilized Korea, poisoned Emperor Xiaojing.
At this time, there are still six years before the demise of the Western Wei Dynasty. In other words, The Biography of Chu Qiao took place six years before the demise of the Western Wei Dynasty.
In 55 1 year, Yuanbaoju died in the Western Wei Dynasty, and Yu Wentai established his eldest son, Qin Yuan, as emperor. In 554, Yuan Weijian, the fourth son of Fei and Li Ju, became Emperor Wen and became Emperor Shi. In 556, Yu Wentai died, and a year later, the Western Wei Dynasty perished.
According to the Biography of Chu Qiao, this story probably happened between the death of Yu Wentai and the demise of the Western Wei Dynasty.
The biography of Chu Qiao is pure fiction, but it is also a pleasure to spy on history.
