The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 193 Qi’s death and Sui Li’s death
[On February 579, AD, Yu Wenyun, who had been emperor for more than half a year, became emperor enough. He immediately passed the throne to the seven-year-old prince Yu Wen Chan. He called himself Emperor Tianyuan, and the place he lived in was called Tiantai. 】

[Because he is the Supreme Emperor, all the carriages and uniforms are twice as powerful as those of the previous emperors. 】

[He claimed that the palace he lived in was "Tiantai", and when speaking to his ministers, he changed "I" to "天". When eating, he used strange utensils such as bottles, Yi, and Zan. 】

[It is more troublesome for ministers to go to court than to see the sky. They must fast for three days and purify themselves for one day beforehand. 】

[Set up a "heavenly stick", one stick is one hundred and twenty sticks. 】

[The cruelty made almost everyone in the courtiers feel in danger. 】

[According to the "Book of Zhou": "Terror inside and outside makes people uneasy. Everyone wants to be spared, but there is no solid ambition."]

[And in addition to the original Tianyuan Queen Yang Lihua, three more queens were established at once. 】

[Yuwen Chan’s biological mother Zhu Manyue is the Queen of Tianzhong, Yuan Leshang, the daughter of Yuan Sheng, the founder of the mansion, is the Queen of Tianyou, Chen Yueyi, the daughter of General Chen Shanti, is the Queen of Tianzhong, and his nephew-in-law Yuchi Chifan is the Queen of Tianzuo. Queen. 】

[In the fifth month, King Zhao, King Chen, King Yue, King Dai, and King Teng were ordered to leave Chang'an and return to their respective fiefdoms. 】

[After driving away the last clan members, Yu Wenyun completely let himself go. 】

[Appoint eunuchs, build large-scale construction projects, decorate palaces, indulge in extravagance and lust, and inflict indiscriminate punishments. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Looking at the sky, Liu Che suddenly smelled a different smell.

That is the art of balance of the emperor.

Emperors are born with insecurities.

In order to calm this insecurity, the emperor would use various methods to control the court.

If you are just greedy, having concubines is enough.

The queen does not need Duoli.

Liu Che stroked his beard and suddenly thought of something in his mind.

The Xiongnu people never had more than one Yan family. Their politics was to use the Yan family to win over the grassland tribes and equally share the power of the most powerful Yan family.

"Yang Lihua..."

Wei Zifu on the side looked strangely at Liu Che, who was slowly chanting the name.

Liu Che looked at the sky without knowing it.

He had a strong premonition.

This wanton emperor was targeting the queen.

In other words, it is aimed at the power behind the queen.

……

Northern Qi Dynasty: Cultural and Propaganda Period
Gao Yang looked at the sky and scratched his head.

Does Yu Wenyong put so much pressure on you?
So crazy?
Then why is Gao Yin not like you?

Is it because I don’t put enough pressure on you?
Do you want to put more pressure on him?
……

[Due to long-term indulgence in sensuality, Yu Wenyun's body was extremely weak. 】

[I caught a slight cold during a trip and never got sick again, and it was very serious. 】

[On May 580, AD, when Yuwen Yun was critically ill and unable to speak, Liu Fang, the imperial minister, and Zheng Yi, the internal history official, forged the edict and sent it to Yang Jian, the emperor's father-in-law and Sui Guogong. Accept the decree and assist in government affairs. 】

[On that day, Yu Wenyun, who had been on the throne for eight months and had been the Supreme Emperor for fifteen months, died of illness in Tiande Hall at the age of twenty-two. His posthumous title was Emperor Xuan. Buried in Dingling. 】

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Gently pressing Li Zhi's head, Wu Meiniang asked softly:
"Your Majesty, even if Emperor Xuan of Zhou cannot speak, there are always others in the Northern Zhou royal family. Why did Liu Fang and Zheng Yi have to forge the emperor's edict themselves?"

"Also, why did they choose Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty?"

Li Zhi closed his eyes to rest and calmly replied:

"Is it because they are traitors?"

"In order to increase the imperial power, Yu Wenyun tried his best to suppress the old ministers and the clan, and appointed new ministers who had no stake."

"Liu Fang and Zheng Yi took this opportunity to become Yu Wen Yun's confidants by virtue of their status as East Palace ministers."

Wu Meiniang spread the realgar powder from the jade box on the side on Li Zhi's forehead and ears.

"A person like this, although he obeys the emperor's words, will never threaten the imperial power."

"But they had a fatal flaw, which was that they could only rely on the emperor at that time."

"Because they have no foundation in the court, and their position depends on the favor of the current emperor, so they are particularly afraid of being liquidated."

"It is said that one emperor and one courtier, Yu Wenyun passed away, these so-called lucky ministers of the former emperor will definitely not have a good outcome under the new emperor."

Wu Meiniang turned her eyes and said slightly shocked:
"So they chose Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty because they thought Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty would protect them?" "They thought Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty was on the same team as them?"

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing:

"Yes, they actually think that Yang Jian is with them!"

"Do you think Yang Jian is particularly powerful?"

"Everyone in the court, including good and treacherous officials, considered him one of their own."

Wu Meiniang was still in shock.

"Why? Why are they so sure?"

Li Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the characters appearing on the sky, and said with a smile:
"Because the clan is allowed to serve as regent, these people may not be grateful to them."

"What's more, the five oldest and most prestigious kings are not in the capital."

"And if Yang Jian is appointed as the auxiliary minister, Yang Jian will definitely be grateful for their support, and they will definitely be able to maintain their wealth forever."

Wu Meiniang opened her mouth slightly.

It's that simple?
So...such a child's play?
Li Zhi chuckled and closed his eyes again.

Of course it's not that simple.

First, at that time, Yang Jian had prestige and power in the court, so that he could assist the other ministers in the government without blame.

Second, Zheng Yi and Yang Jian were classmates at Taixue.

These two points are the most important, and they are also the reason why they think Yang Jian is one of their own.

……

Playing continues on the marquee
All the ministers gathered in the Golden Palace.

The young emperor sat on the throne in ignorance.

The first minister next was reading out the imperial edict.

"...I pay homage to the official Huang Yue and the Prime Minister Zuo, and all the officials will listen to me..."

When the ministers in the palace heard this, their expressions changed, and they all looked at the leader in front of the palace.

The man had slender eyes, five long beards, a thin face, and a slender figure. He was about forty years old.

Even if he lowers his eyebrows, he still feels oppressive.

"My lord, Yang Jian has received the edict."

……

[On May 580, AD, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Chan, took charge of the government and appointed Yang Jian as the Prime Minister of the Left, the false Huangyue, and the commander-in-chief of all Chinese and foreign military affairs. 】

[After Yang Jian took power, he promoted capable ministers and generals as his confidants. 】

[Abolish all surnames given to Han people by the Yuwen family and restore the original Han surnames. 】

[Abolition of the harsh punishment laws of Yu Wenyun's period, halting the construction of the Luoyang palace, and reducing the peasants' corvee taxes. 】

[Conquered Yuchi Jiong's rebellion, killed the five kings of the Yuwen clan, and eliminated the Yuwen clan's power. At the same time, he also won over some Xianbei nobles such as Yuan Xie, Yuan Zhou, and Yu Wenxin, and completely controlled the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty. 】

[On February 581, AD, Yang Jian changed the title of Sui Guogong to Sui Wang, named Dugu as Queen, made Yang Yong the Crown Prince, and established twenty states as Sui State. 】

[On February 24, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty issued an edict announcing his abdication because Yang Jian was expected to return. 】

[Yang Jian gave in three times and accepted the destiny. In preparation for the ceremony, the emperor sat in Linguang Hall, designated the country as "Sui", changed the Yuan Dynasty to the founding emperor, and announced a general amnesty for the world. 】

[Make Queen Dugu the queen and Crown Prince Yang Yong the crown prince. Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was demoted to Duke Jie. 】

[In May, Yang Jian sent people to kill Yuwen Chan, who was posthumously named Emperor Jing and was buried in Gongling. 】

　The fourth great unification is coming!
　　There is really nothing to write about in this paragraph. According to the history books, Yang Jian’s throne is just like picking it up.

　　But what’s the problem? It’s that Yu Wenyun’s process is too standardized.

　　From the perspective of traditional history, this man is absolutely a coward.

　　But after careful analysis, this person actually has something and an idea.

　　Just like the Five Queens, the general argument is that they are mediocre.

　　But Yuwen himself came from the Xiongnu, Yuwentai's policy was to govern the country with Hu, and Yuwenyong talked nonsense all his life without speaking a word of Chinese.

　　And these are not written in the official history.

　　Judging from the cultural background of the time, Yu Wenyun did have something.

　　Not much though.
