Yuwen Hu, a Xianbei native, was a monarch minister and Sabao person in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. Wuchuan, nephew of Dai Jun Yu Wentai, the third son of Yu Wentai's eldest brother Yu Wenhao.
He fought Yu Wentai in his early years, made great contributions in the war with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and later banned Liang Jiangling in the south. He followed Yu Wentai from an early age, not only managing the family, but also fighting the army. He has made great achievements and won the trust and respect of Yu Wentai. The ancient officials regarded the general as a general.
At the end of 556 AD, Yu Wentai killed Qin Gui, the second emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, and then made his younger brother Yuan Kuo the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty.
Three years later, Yu Wentai died of illness. Before his death, because his son was still young, he entrusted his nephew to take power.
In 557, less than two months after taking office, Yu Wenjuan, the son of Yuan Kuohe, the puppet emperor, was forced to abdicate, thus eventually eliminating the Western Wei Dynasty and establishing the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Hu became the prime minister of Otsuka and continued to be in charge of the imperial court. Guan Bai always listens to it. . In his view, Yu Wenjue, the 16-year-old emperor, is still a child, and he can and should make his own decisions.
Everyone knows that Yu Wenjue is young, but he is determined and he is not satisfied with his arrogance. At the same time, another group of North Korean ministers could not understand what they had done and thought that "the emperor of China, that is, the military government, is still in power!"
Together, they encouraged Yu Wenjun to get rid of Hu Wen. So Yu recruited a group of warriors and often practiced how to capture them alive in the back garden; After consulting with his ministers, he decided to catch and kill him at a court banquet one day.
But before their plot was carried out, someone told Yu. So I killed Yu first.
After getting rid of Yu Wenxuan, Yu Wen made Yu Wenyu emperor and worked for Ming Di in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. According to historical records, Yu Wenyu is "generous and upright, with the quality of a gentleman." I probably thought he was unlikely to pose a threat to myself, so I chose him as the emperor.
However, Yu Wenyu is not as weak and incompetent as Yu Wenyu imagined. He gradually showed his wisdom and ability to handle affairs. A group of old ministers and fathers gradually gathered around him. He devoted himself to developing the economy, and his popularity among the people also increased. All this aroused Yu's doubts and worries.
In order to test, Hu hypocritically adopted the policy of "emperor system" and returned all powers except military power to the emperor.
Who knows, Yu Wenyu unceremoniously accepted this order and officially changed his name to Emperor.
That's it. I'm scared. In 560 AD, he bribed an official in charge of court catering, secretly poisoned the emperor and poisoned Yu Wenyu.
Thus, in a short period of more than three years from 557 to 560, Yu successively killed the Western Wei Emperor, the Northern Zhou Emperor Min Yujue and Yu Wenyu, becoming the most murderous emperor in China history.
Personal business card
Yu was born in Wuchuan, the ancestral home of Xianbei, the son of his eldest brother, his mother Yanji, and a minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
During the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Yu fought side by side with him and repeatedly made meritorious military service. Yu Wentai took Yuwen Lake as the prefect from Chen Yue, the capital of Houyi. Later, in order to welcome the Western Wei Emperor, Tan County was sealed. In the 13th year of Guangxu, Sun Yat-sen was appointed. Fifteen years later, he became a general and later joined the company.
After his death in 556 AD, his sons were very young, so he was appointed as the chief affairs officer of the country. Because his successor Yu Wenjue was old and weak, he seized power early, forcing the Western Wei Emperor Zen to be located in the Zhou Dynasty, although his power and influence still existed. The following year, Yu Wenjue was called the King of Zhou and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Fu was made Duke Xiang of Jin. In October of the fifth year of Baoding in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, He Ruodun, the secretariat of Jinzhou, committed suicide because of resentment.
Later, generals Zhao Gui and Du refused to accept Yuwen Lake. Although Yu Wenxuan was dissatisfied with his autocratic power, he was not killed, but was arrested. Zhao Gui was killed and Du was forced to commit suicide. Yu Wenxuan was deposed and died. After Yu Wenxuan's death, Yu Hu Wen became another son of Yu Wentai. In the second year of Wu Cheng, Yu Wenyu was poisoned by him, and his fourth son, Yu Yongyong, was named Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Obviously, I am wary of Yu, but I am very relaxed. Yu is greedy by nature, but his subordinates are unscrupulous. On March 14th, the seventh year of Tianhe, Yuwen Lake returned to Chang 'an from Tongzhou. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Yuwen Hu went to see the Empress Dowager. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that the Empress Dowager had been drinking a lot recently, and I hope I can read the Classic of Wine to the Empress Dowager and make her give up drinking. I didn't know it was a plan, so he read the patent of wine to the queen mother. While studying, Yu Wenyong suddenly hit him on the back with a piece of jade and knocked him to the ground. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was busy letting eunuch He Quan cut Yuwen Lake with a knife. He Quan is afraid, he can't hurt. At this time, Yu Wenzhi hid indoors and killed Yuwen Lake.
