History's Top Ten Traitorous Officials--Yuwen Huaji
[Reason for being on the rankings: Slandering the emperor, colluding with foreign countries, killing the emperor and becoming independent. There are very few treacherous officials in China's history who killed two emperors and then became independent.]
In 605 AD, Yang Guang had just ascended the throne. He was ambitious and wanted to do something that was not inferior to his father, Yang Jian.
He looked at the light screen and pushed the concubine to the side. His face became ferocious.
" Yuwen Huaji…?!"
"I know that slanderous words are flattering."
"It should be the two brothers who violated the ban on foreign relations with the Turks a month ago.”
"But!"
"Regicide and self-reliance!"
"What do you mean by killing two emperors in a row?!”
Naturally, Yang Guang didn't think that the Emperor who was killed was himself. His eyes turned, and a bright light flashed. Suddenly, he thought of Dong Zhuo crippling Liu Bian and Sima Zhao killing Cao Mao, the Emperor of Wei. His eyes became even colder.
"When I am alive, Yuwen Huaji will not dare to rebel!”
He was extremely confident in himself. As long as he was alive, such a thing as betraying the emperor would never happen!
"Could it be that after I died, Yuwen Huaji bullied the young emperor?!”
Thinking of this, Yang Guang became even angrier. He could not doubt the authenticity of the light screen.
"Traitor! Thief!"
"Zhen treats you with sincerity! You actually killed my descendants!"
"Men! Put Yuwen Huaji in prison! Await your punishment."
At the same time, at another time node.
Yang Jian's expression changed.
He looked at Dugu Jialuo suspiciously and said in disbelief,"
"Am I seeing things? Traitor Yuwen Huaji?"
"The eldest son of the right-guard general Yu Wenshu?!”
" How could he be a traitor?!"
Dugu Jialuo was also in disbelief." Your Majesty, let's take a look first.”
" I remember that Yuwen Huaji has a good relationship with Guang 'er. If Yuwen Huaji is a traitor, then the one who ascended the throne…"
she said tactfully.
Since Yuwen Huaji could kill the Emperor, it meant that he held great power. Yang Yong, who had an ordinary relationship with Yuwen Huaji, would not choose someone who had a good relationship with Yang Guang to be his official.
This could only mean one thing!
The future emperor of Great Sui would be Yang Guang!
Yang Jian's face darkened.
He naturally thought of this as well.
Just thinking about the gap between Yang Guang and Yang Yong, he could not help but sigh.
"Although Yong 'er is the eldest son, he's slow in character and weak in Confucianism. He's not suitable to be the emperor. On the other hand, Guang' er is the second son, but he's talented and intelligent. He doesn't like women and doesn't like to play such abandoned things.”
Presumably, in the future, he also considered this point, which was why he made Yang Guang emperor.
Dugu Jialuo smiled and nodded.
"Your Majesty is right. He doesn't like women. I like Guang 'er very much. As the emperor, I should take it as my duty to govern the country.”
Yang Jian's lips twitched.
He actually wanted to say that it was good to indulge in women occasionally. He was always doing political affairs, so he needed to relax occasionally.
But in the end, he still held it back resentfully.
It couldn't be helped. He was famous for being afraid of his wife.
In the 2,000 years of history of China, only he and Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty practiced monogamy.
The only difference was that Emperor Hongzhi only married one wife. He insisted on it himself. He only loved one person in his life. Even if the important officials of the imperial court repeatedly requested to hold a selection ceremony in the palace to marry a few more wives and have children, Hongzhi was determined not to do so.
As for Yang Jian, his monogamy was forced because he only had one wife, and she was the daughter of the Dugu family.
The three daughters of the Dugu Family were all married to the Emperor.
Her eldest daughter married Yuwen Yu, Emperor Ming of Northern Zhou Dynasty, and became Empress Mingjing.
The fourth daughter married the Duke of Tang, Li Wei, and was given the posthumous title of Empress Yuanzhen. The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, was her son.
The seven women were Dugu Jialuo. Dugu Jialuo had married Yang Jian at the age of fourteen. Yang Jian's family had fallen, and Dugu Jialuo had accompanied Yang Jian through difficult times.
The Dugu family had three empresses. Compared to them, the three Song sisters of the later generations were much weaker.
This was also a major reason why Yang Jian only married Dugu Jialuo.
As for the matter of visiting the Yuchi clan before the court session, and the Yuchi clan being beaten to death by Dugu Jialuo after the court session, it was up to the benevolent and the wise to see how much of a difference it was.
Dugu Jialuo seemed to have noticed what Yang Jian wanted to say. He raised his eyebrows and said,
"Your Majesty, is there something you want to say?"
Yang Jian's eyelids twitched, and he said seriously,"
"Zhen wants to say, how does the Empress think Guang 'er can govern the Sui Dynasty?”
Dugu Jialuo shook his head." I'm just a woman. How much do I know about such matters? However, Guang 'er is talented and intelligent. Even if he can't govern the country as well as Your Majesty, he shouldn't be too far off.”
"I hope so."
As he spoke, Yang Jian's face was filled with obvious anticipation.
However, his expression darkened.
"No matter what Guang 'er does, Yuwen Huaji can't stay!”
"He killed two emperors in a row. I think Yuwen Huaji bullied the young emperor after Guang 'er died!”
"Men! Detain and imprison all the members of the right-guard general Yuwen Shu's family!”
On the screen, the video lit up.
In the dignified mansion, a few generals were surrounding Yuwen Huaji, trying to persuade him.
Looking at them, Yang Guang narrowed his eyes. He didn't recognize most of them, but he recognized one of them even though he was much older.
Yuwen Huaji's younger brother, Yuwen Zhiji!
A month ago, it was Yuwen Hua and Yuwen Zhi who had violated the ban and colluded with the Turks.
From the looks of it, they were planning something.
Imperial Army General Sima Dekan said,
"General! Now that the world is in chaos, the people are in dire straits. His Majesty has been living in Jiangdu for a long time and has no intention of returning to Luoyang.”
"Many people in the Imperial Army and Xiao Army are preparing to defect back to the northwest.”
"Why don't we raise the flag and rebel, directly kill the emperor, and establish a new monarch!”
Yuwen Zhiji also advised,"
"That's right, big brother. Yang Guangxiu's canal construction caused widespread resentment, and he failed to attack Tuyuhun and Goguryeo three times.”
"Right now, there are countless bandits and rebel armies in the country. Why don't we kill the emperor and establish a new emperor?”
" This..." Yuwen Huaji's face was gloomy and his expression kept changing." This is an important matter. Please allow me to think about it."”
Year 605.
The glass cup in Yang Guang's hand fell and shattered into pieces, but he didn't feel anything. There was only one voice in his mind,
" The one who was killed was me?!"
At the same time, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo's faces stiffened.
