? "Yuwen Tai was established as the new leader, but there were still some people who were dissatisfied. Li Hu, the governor of the Left Xiang, was one of them." After Yang Ji said that, he took a sip of tea. The Li Hu he mentioned was the grandfather of Li Yuan, the grandfather of Tang Guogong.

"Li Hu still felt that it was the right way to join Hebayue's brother Hebasheng. He did not recognize Yuwen Tai but ran to find Hebasheng, who was stationed in Jingzhou, to take charge of the situation. Hebasheng's general Dugu Ruyuan, which was Dugu Xin, was sent to Guanzhong to appease Hebayue's old subordinates. Later, Dugu Xin followed Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei to Guanzhong and defected to Yuwen Tai as a loyal minister who supported Wei Ting..."

Yang Ji said that if these two were apart, the other Hebayue's old subordinates were Zhao Gui, Hou Mo and Chen Chong, and others, although they recommended Yuwen Tai as the main one, they always felt that their old comrades who were equal in the past were not as happy as the leader as the leader.

Yuwen Tai knew that the old subordinates of the late leader Hebayue, who was his former old friends, were more or less dissatisfied, so he raised the banner of respecting Wei Ting to kill Hou Mo Chenyue, who killed the boss, and called on everyone to deal with the hero Gao Huan together.

Thanks to Yuwen Tai's superb political literacy and mixed methods, Hebasheng later agreed to the new leader who inherited his younger brother's team. Then the bumpy team was gathered at least. Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was unwilling to be Gao Huan's puppet, so he saw Yuwen Tai gaining a foothold in Guanzhong and went to Tongguan to ask him for help.

"The Northern Wei became Gao Huan's Eastern Wei, Yuwen Tai's Western Wei, Yuwen Tai's Western Wei, Yuwen Tai's Western Wei existed since its establishment. Yuwen Taiyuan's confidants, Hebayue's old subordinates, Hebasheng Group, Wei Tingzhongchen, and several forces along with Henan tyrants and Guanlong tyrants. This is the source of grudges that have continued to this day." Yang Ji said.

Yuwen Wen nodded. He knew that the separation and reunion between these forces ran through the entire process of Yuwen Zhou's establishment, growth, glory, and fall. The Guanlong Group even experienced the flash in the Sui Dynasty and elected Li Yuan as their new generation leader. It was not until the empress Wu Zeyan used various means to weaken the Guanlong Group, which finally declined.

In terms of modern enterprise structure, the major shareholder of Western Wei (Northern Zhou) Co., Ltd. is Yuwen's family, and other shareholders are the leaders of the above forces. Yuwen's family shares account for the largest proportion but have no absolute advantage.

For the local tyrants of Guanzhong (Guanlong), Yuwen Tai and others are outsiders, while for Yuwen Tai, the local tyrants of Guanzhong (Guanlong) are the objects he must unite, otherwise he will not be able to compete with the powerful Gao Huan, so the Guanlong group is also one of the important forces in the Western Wei (Northern Zhou) power circle.

"Yuwen Tai asked his confidants to station Dugu Xin, Li Hu and other generals to other places in other places in Guanzhong and near the Gyeonggi. At that time, Ling Zun was the general manager of Qinzhou to supervise Dugu Xin. Of course, Yuwen Tai had to make these two people the second of the Eight Pillars." Yang Ji continued.

Yuwen Wen was a little surprised when he heard this. His father Yuwen Liang was arranged to monitor Dugu Xin for the first time. He had not read the historical materials in later generations, so he did not see the relevant content. But after thinking about it, he felt relieved: Yang Ji had been in this era for more than ten years and wandered among the princes and nobles of Chang'an, probably because he had heard of such intrigues.

Yang Ji said that Yuwen Tai could steadily suppress these forces when he was alive. But when he knew that his sons could not suppress the old man, he let his most trusted nephew Yuwen Huzhizheng help his son deal with these "uncles". Then things were wrong after that.

At that time, Yuwen Hu was not the Zhu Kingdom but one of the twenty-three generals. Yuwen Tai's "Waiting Yi" (Waiting generation) old friend began to plot to seize power. "The public officials all aim to rule, and don't lead them to convince each other."

Seeing that the situation was not good in the Yuwen family, Yuwen Tai's confidant Yu Jin, who was also a "Waiting for the Yi" figure and a relative of his children, helped Yuwen Hu to conquer all the Dukes at the subsequent meeting.

Yuwen Hu was helped by Yu Jin to gain ruling status, but everyone was not convinced. He temporarily stabilized the situation and was promoted to a general of the pillar country. He began to overcome obstacles for the Yuwen family, and wanted to consolidate the Yuwen family's status as the moment when Yuwen Tai's death remained shortly after his death.

"First of all, there are Yuan Wei clan members, old ministers, and powerful Henan tyrants. Yuwen Hu deposed the Emperor of Wei and let his nephew Yuwen Jue be called Zhou. Yuan clan lost his paper country, so the royal clan members also had old ministers and Henan tyrants who followed the Emperor of Wei into Guanzhong were full of resentment."

Yuwen Wen knew this. In May last year, he told his father to attack Huangzhou and kill the Huangzhou general manager Yuan Jingshan, Huangzhou governor Yu Wenbi, and the Grand Secretary Kou Yuanxiao, who acted as the helper of Yang Jian's slaughter of Yuwen's royal family in Chang'an, were representatives of the above forces. They worked very hard when they had the chance to rebel against Yuwen's family.

Yang Ji said that the next one was Hebayue’s old subordinate. Yuwen Tai died and they felt that it was time for him to come to the stage and that Yuwen Hu took action to remove him.

The representative figures of Hebayue's old subordinates were Zhao Gui, two of the Eight Pillars Kingdoms, Hou Mo Chen Chong, Zhao Gui strongly recommended Yuwen Tai as the leader back then but now he is inferior to the younger generation. He wants to teach Yuwen Hu to be a "person". As a result, the matter was leaked and he was killed by Yuwen Hu.

"Zhao Gui planned to kill Yuwen Hu and asked Dugu Xin to plan. Dugu Xin belonged to Hebasheng's old subordinates, which was originally dissatisfied with the replacement of the old superiors of the Yuwen family. It was an old hatred for Yuwen Hu to seize military power recently. However, after weighing the pros and cons, Dugu Xin felt that Yuwen Hu was not easy to deal with, so he advised Zhao Gui to stop, but the plan was not implemented." Yang Ji mentioned the historical events that Yuwen Wen also knew - the Zhao Gui and the Dugu Xin incident.

"Dugu Xin hesitated to kill Yuwen Hu, but the other party did not intend to let him go, and later forced him to commit suicide and exiled his family to Yizhou." Yuwen Wen continued the conversation. Later, when Yuwen Hu learned that Hou Mo Chen Chong was forced to commit suicide because of complaining, he immediately forced him to commit suicide. At this point, Hebayue and Hebasheng's old subordinates had resented.

Yang Ji nodded and continued, "That's right, Yang Zhong, who is also a relative of Dugu Xin, is extremely dissatisfied with Yuwen Hu. Yuwen Hu tried to promote Yang Zhong's son Yang Jian to ease the relationship between the two parties with an important task, but the other party refused."

The relationship between Yuwen and several forces began to intensify, but at this time, the Yuwen family's own internal strife led to Yuwen Taiyuan's split from his close confidants. The reason was very simple: Yuwen Hu gathered power in order to deal with various mountains, but he did not want to let go, so in order to capture power, he killed Yuwen Tai's two sons and made his third son Yuwen Yong ascend the throne. The Yuwen family's basic foundation began to have internal strife.

"Later, Li Mu, the general manager of Bingzhou in the second year of Elephant, Yu Yi, the general manager of Youzhou in the second year, Dou Chi, who was standing in Luoyang, was originally Yuwen Tai's confidant, but was extremely dissatisfied with Yuwen Hu's successive killing of Yuwen Tai's son, which led to a bad relationship with Yuchi Jiong and Yuchi Gang brothers. This is also one of the main reasons why Yuchi Jiong later raised an army to rebel against Yang and the three of them stood on Yang Jian's side."

Li Mu's younger brother Li Yuan and Yuwen Tai acted as a double act to make his young legitimate son Yuwen Jue the crown prince instead of his eldest son Yuwen Yu (Dugu Xin's son-in-law) one of the capable generals. His son Li Zhi is Yuwen Tai's son-in-law. Li Zhi planned to get rid of Yuwen Hu to avenge Yuwen Jue, who was killed, and Li Yuan was implicated.

Yuwen Hu forced Li Yuan to commit suicide and wanted to kill all his sons. It was the last son Li Jishi's turn to Li Mu plead with Yuwen Hu to use one of his sons to die and leave a trace of incense for his younger brother.

Because of Yuwen Hu's behavior, the ministers loyal to the Yuwen family were at a loss and finally split. At that time, Yuchi Jiong, who was standing on Yuwen Hu's side, became a confidant and accomplice, and the two brothers Yuchi Gang became thorns in their side.

"What Yuwen Hu did offended the old ministers of the Yuan Wei clan, Hebayue's old subordinates, Hebasheng's old subordinates, and even the loyal ministers of the Yuwen clan, and he fell into a state of inability to advance and retreat, so sooner or later he was finished." This is Yang Ji's conclusion.

"Without the support of multiple forces, he wanted to be emperor and be afraid of being attacked by the crowd, but he had to kill his cousin to avoid losing his regent position as a regency. However, if he killed two people and continued to kill, he could not explain to the followers of the Yuwen family." Yuwen Wen expressed his own opinion.

Many people in later generations discussed why Yuwen Hu did not become the emperor himself. When he came to this era, he had a clear view after experiencing political disputes: Yuwen Hu's status comes from the righteousness of protecting the Yuwen family's original family, the Yuwen Tai family. In order to maintain the status of the Yuwen family, he killed representatives of various forces and could also get the support of Yuwen's followers. If he dared to replace him, he would betray his relatives if he was not careful.

Fortunately, Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong lowered his posture and seemed willing to be a puppet, so Yuwen Hu also breathed a sigh of relief and was his "Contemporary Zhou Gong". Then Yuwen Yong lies dormant for more than ten years and successfully counterattacked with one blow and took over the power in his hands.

At this time, because the two Kings of Zhou (Emperors) were killed like lambs and the internal struggle of Yuwen family, the prestige of the Great Zhou has declined increasingly, and the internal and external subjects are disunited, and the mess is placed in front of Yuwen Yong.

Yang Ji continued: "After Emperor Wu Yuwen Yong took power, he began to make up for the cracks between the Yuwen family and various forces. First, he wooed Dugu Xin's two sons-in-law: Yang Jian, son of Yang Zhong, and Li Bing, son of Li Hu, who was the father of Li Yuan. He asked the Crown Prince Yuwen Yun to take Yang Lihua, daughter of Yang Jian, as the crown prince's concubine, and entrusted important tasks to Li Bing. This was to release goodwill to Hebayue and Hebasheng's old subordinates."

"Let the Yuan family be reappointed is to release goodwill to the Yuan Wei clan and the remaining ministers. For Yuchi Jiong, who was originally on Yuwen Hu's side, Yuchi Gang and others were promoted and demoted to high-ranking officials openly but were insulted to prevent Yuwen Hu's troops from being anxious. It is precisely this reason that the Duke of Shu Kingdom Yuchi Jiong did nothing in Yuwen Yong's dynasty."

The Guanlong Group had no objection to seeing Yuwen Yong's talent and strategy. Why not have a leader who could bring victory to them? This hero used superb political means to centralize power and carefully used the royal kings to consolidate the power of the Yuwen family. The imperial power of the Great Zhou rose to an unprecedented level and reached its peak after destroying Qi.

The cracks that once spread seemed to be closed again, but all this broke out again after Yuwen Yong's sudden death and his prodigal son Yuwen Yun ascended the throne. Yuwen Yun squandered the imperial power that his father had finally gathered and lost all his heart. The massacre of his close relatives left by his father made the followers of Yuwen's family become increasingly disinterested.

He "learned experience and lessons" to vigorously weaken the royal family, causing the foundation of the Yuwen family to collapse, and the royal family's support. The emperor's uncle Yuwen Xian destroyed the family because he was afraid that the other party would become the next Yuwen Hu. As a result, no one in the royal family could suppress all forces.

In order to monopolize the power of Yuwen Yun, the royal family and the vassal kings were driven to another place and they had no real power. As a result, after his sudden death, his father-in-law Yang Jian easily obtained the power of the court, and the Yuwen royal family became a fish and meat that was scattered on the board and was slaughtered.

When the Western Wei (Northern Zhou) was founded, the forces of various forces made great efforts, but later they were excluded from their core power. Naturally, they had complaints. Finally, Yuwen made a prodigal son who committed suicide by himself, and that was to break the drum and beat the dog in the water.

Yang Jian, a nobleman who was an ordinary family, was the grandfather of the young emperor after Yuwen Yun died suddenly, as the son-in-law of Dugu Xin, the brother-in-law of Li Hu's son, the relatives of Yuan's family, and the Guanlong Group easily gathered the main forces that were "oppressed" by Yuwen's family to counterattack. The male members of the Yuwen clan were killed, and the male members of the Yuchi Jiong clan who rebelled against Yang were also massacred in addition to young children.

The hidden dangers left by Yuwen Tai at the beginning came with the unfilial Sun Yuwen Yun, a big explosion, erased the Yuwen clan from the world and left no trace of incense. The past history was like this, and now even if the world has different situations, those forces will support Yang Jian.

"Monday, Yang Jian has these people and their forces behind him, so it is inevitable that Zhou will be in the Sui Dynasty. They have already broken up with Yuwen's family and cannot help but Yang Jian will not be able to replace Zhou. If he doesn't do it, there will naturally be someone."

Yuwen Wen sighed. It was the end of the year and it was a foregone conclusion that Yang Jian had already accepted the abdication of his cheap grandson so much. At that time, the father and son would either occupy the land of Jingxiang and establish themselves or worship the court of Yecheng as the orthodox of the Great Zhou.

Since Yang Jian controlled the Chang'an court and controlled the puppet little emperor, then the Duke of Shu Kingdom Yuchi Jiong also controlled the Yecheng court and controlled the puppet little emperor. All this was no different from Gao Huan's Eastern Wei and Yuwen Tai's Western Wei.

Speaking of this, Yuwen Wen only felt that the future was bumpy and there was still a lot of road to go. As the saying goes, the blacksmith had to be strong himself and the three of them had to have their own stable territory and army to protect themselves. Which side of Yang Jian and Yuchi Jiong won was not good news for them, but just a matter of speed or delay.

As for when the promised return to Chang'an will be realized, it is not known from the current situation. The first thing is to protect Anlu and not to be broken by others.

"A lesson from the past. The county magistrate should not be taken lightly." Yang Ji said solemnly, "Bazhou and Guanzhong cannot be compared, but the sparrows are small and all the internal organs..."

"Look at you, and as you talk, you started to criticize the mulberry and the locust." Yuwen Wen smiled. Seeing Yang Ji's serious look, he asked, "Those local snakes... I guess you have any ideas? Let's listen."

"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!" Yang Ji's answer was straightforward.

"You guys, don't always think about making big news!"
