In the second year of Wu Cheng (560), the powerful minister Yuwen Hu poisoned Yu Wenyu, and immediately made the general and Lu Gongyu Wen Yong emperor. Still in charge of state affairs. In the seventh year of Tianhe (572), Yu Wenyong died in Yuwen Hu and personally handled state affairs.
In the second year of Jiande, Yu Wenyong established three religions, Confucianism first, Taoism second and Buddhism last. The following year, Buddhism and Taoism were banned, and the shaman Taoist priest was demoted as a layman, which was one of the three great martial arts to destroy Buddhism in history. So that a large number of people occupied by temples began to shift to Yuwen Yong.
State taxation bureau.
In the fourth year of Jiande, a few people, such as Yu Wenxian, the king of Qi, planned separately and decided to cut Qi. They personally led the army to besiege Jinyong City (now Luoyang, Henan Province) and returned to the division due to illness. The following year, he led the army to cut Qi and attacked Kepingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi). When I was defeated in the military siege of Jinyang (now southwest of Taiyuan, Shanxi), I was only exempted. Later, he listened to Yu Wenxin's suggestion of "surviving from death and winning from defeat" and finally conquered Jinyang. Six years, into the leaf, destroy the northern qi. Since then, it has owned the Yellow River Basin and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It laid the foundation for the later unification of the Sui Dynasty. Yuwen Yong lived a frugal life and tried to surpass the ancients in everything. The palaces built by Yuwen Hu and Beiqi were burnt down. He was harsh and heartless, but he was decisive and hard-working, and he did his best when he was conquering.
The state of Qi had traitors captured by the Northern Wei Dynasty in Hexi, and Zhou had lovers captured by Liang Jiangling of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, but they were not handmaids. He pardoned them all. The Turks are powerful, and the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties are in the south. Yu Wenyong had to marry a Turkish princess. After the demise of the State of Qi, in the first year of Zheng Xuan (578), Yuwen Yong led an army to attack the Turks in five ways, and died if he failed to do so. His eldest son Yu Wenyun acceded to the throne. Soon, it gave way to Yuwen Zen. Two or three years later, Emperor Wendi of Sui accepted meditation and established the Sui Dynasty.

Yuwen Yong is an outstanding master of minority talents in the history of our country. History seems to have given him a chance, but in the end it didn't give him time.
Now we all think that Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, completed the second unification in the history of China. The name Yu Wenyong is so strange to others. Let's not forget that it was he who destroyed Beiqi, integrated the whole North and achieved partial reunification. His desire to achieve national reunification is just around the corner. Unfortunately, he died young at the age of 35, leaving only regrets for future generations. The incompetence and brutality of the successors doomed the Zhou regime to fail to complete its historical mission and temporarily delayed the process of China's reunification.
Yu Wenyong, the fourth son of Yu Wentai, was loved by Yu Wentai since he was a child. He often says to others, "If your ambition succeeds, so will this son." After Yu Wentai's death, power soon fell to Yuwen Hu, and Yuwen Hu killed the second emperor. In 560, Yu Wenyong ascended the throne and was called Emperor Wu. At the beginning of the throne, the position was extremely unstable, and Yuwen Hu held real power. Yu Wenyong had to endure. In order to show his trust in Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Hu pretended to be indifferent to the killing of his brother. He doesn't have any precautions against Yuwen Hu, and he always means Yuwen Hu. On one occasion, Hou and Yuwen Yong went to Yuanzhou. Yuwen Yong insisted on going back to Chang 'an in the evening, but others didn't understand. After Chen Mochong pretended to be smart, he told people around him that Gong Jin was not good this year and Gong Jin should die. Hearing this, Yuwen Yong called the ministers and scolded him in front of Minister China. That night, Hou was forced to commit suicide by Yuwen Hu, which showed that he kept a low profile.
In 572 AD, Yuwen Hu returned to Chang 'an from Tongzhou, and Yu Wenyong went with him to see the Queen Mother, saying that the Queen Mother had been drinking a lot recently, and hoped that Yuwen Hu would exhort her to read the Classic of Wine to her. Yuwen Hu didn't know it was a plan, so he agreed. While reading, Yuwen Yong slammed his head with jade, killed Yuwen Hu with the help of eunuch He Quan and Yu, and then cut off his henchmen.
In order to increase income and expand the army, Liang Wudi forced him to return to nature and destroy the Buddha. From the Western Wei Dynasty to the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, due to the continuous war, many able-bodied men died in the war, with a small population and natural disasters, forcing farmers to beg. Monks in those monasteries don't have to do military service, pay taxes or help the victims. On the contrary, it took the opportunity to annex farmers' land, which increased the burden on the people and seriously threatened the Northern Zhou regime. Therefore, it is imperative to reform and abolish Buddhism. Wei Songyuan, a monk, came to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and told him the suggestion of destroying Buddha and establishing Tao. Emperor Wu was very happy and ordered Wei to return to the secular world and give him a high position, but Wei didn't want to. Soon because of a peasant uprising, he made up his mind to cancel Buddhism.
In 574 A.D., Yuwen Yong summoned officials from civil and military circles and monks and Taoists to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Buddhism, Taoism and Taoism. Find an excuse to destroy the Buddha. This greatly enhanced the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
From 575 to 577, Emperor Wu sent troops to destroy the Northern Qi.
Emperor Wu was diligent in politics, lived a simple life, shared joys and sorrows with soldiers, and was lewd. There are only 10 concubines in the harem. It's a pity that he died young, and the plan of "flattening Turks and setting Jiangnan" was finally not realized.

Lan Ling Wu Wang Gao Su (AD? Years -573, the history of birth and death is unknown), a dutiful son of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, four sons of Emperor Wen Xiang. Reluctantly moved to the state secretariat. The Turks entered Jinyang, and the long-term workers tried their best to strike it. After Mangshan's defeat, the long-term worker was Zhong Jun. He rode 500 troops to Zhou Jun and then to Jin Yong, and was besieged in a hurry. People in the city are well-informed, always respectful and avoid showing their faces. They were rescued by the crossbowman, so they won a great victory. Samurai ballad is also called "Samurai Lanling enters the array". Lisi, Zhou Mu and Qingying are rich in goods. Later, it was Qiu. Discuss with Duan Shao about Baigu, and then attack Ding Yang. When you are sick, you will always respect. Before and after the meritorious service, no county officials such as Julu, Changle, Leping and Levin were appointed. Long and respectful, soft and powerful, affectionate. In order to be diligent and meticulous, each one is sweet. Although a melon counts as several fruits, it will be with the soldiers. At the beginning of Yingzhou, Yang Shenshen, who joined the army, listed stolen goods and was exempted from official duties. And begging for the sun, the scholar is deep in the army, fearing disaster. Chang Gongwen said, "I didn't mean to." It is to seek small mistakes, and the staff is deeply secure. After entering the DPRK, the servants were scattered. There is only one person, respected, alone, without any punishment. Wu Cheng rewarded his work and ordered Jia Hu to buy twenty concubines, but only one was accepted. There are thousands of dollars to pay, and all of them will be burned on the day of death.
First, a confusing life experience.
The warrior Lan Ling's father is Gao Cheng, the eldest son of SHEN WOO Gao Huan, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but his mother doesn't even have a surname, which makes his life experience confusing. "The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty" contains: "The Wu Wang of Lanling worked as a filial piety, the fourth son of Wen Xiang." There are six men in Wen Xiang: "Empress Wen Jingyuan gave birth to Wang Xiaowan in Hejian, Wang Xiaoyu in Henan gave birth to Song, and Wang gave birth to Guangning. The warrior Lanling can't take his mother's surname, Chen gave birth to Wang Yanzong and Yan gave birth to Shao Xin." Among the six brothers, King Andrew's mother, Chen, is called "the prostitute of the king" in the history books, but her surname is still known. Only the mother of the soldier Lanling has no surname and doesn't know who it is. From this, people infer that the identity and status of the mother of the warrior Lan Ling, I am afraid, is even worse than that of an official prostitute, and it is likely to be just a humble and nameless maid-in-waiting in the palace. In this way, in the gentry era, although the warrior Lan Ling was an emperor and grandson, he was embarrassed. His "inexplicable" status has brought him great pressure. Endure others' contemptuous eyes and live humbly every day, which may be his childhood life.
Second, soft appearance and ferocious mask.
front
In the Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the History of the North, it is said that he is "soft outside and firm inside, full of sound and emotion"; In "The Monument to the Bell of My King in Lanling", he said "cool and colorful"; In the book Old Tangqu, he said that he was "both talented and beautiful"; In the story of Sui and Tang Dynasties, he was described as a "beauty in white". It can be seen that the beauty of the warrior Lanling is really unparalleled and extraordinary. He has a handsome appearance that ordinary men do not have. Later generations suspected that his beauty might come from his humble mother. If it weren't for my mother's amazing appearance, how could she attract the favor of my father, who is far from being in the same position and expensive?
However, the beauty of the warrior Lan Ling brought him great distress. In the era of the separatist regime in that place, in the era of years of war in that place, as the children of princes and princes, they have to be tested by war every moment. Because of his handsome appearance, he is often despised by his opponents when he fights with them on the battlefield. To this end, he had to order people to make some hideous "big faces" and wear them on their faces every time they went out to achieve the purpose of deterring their opponents. "The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty" says: "The generation came from the Northern Qi Dynasty. Lan Ling, a warrior in the Northern Qi Dynasty, is respectful, brave and beautiful, and often wears a mask to face the enemy. I tried to attack Zhou Shi Jin Yong at the gates, bravely crowned the three armed forces and strengthened the people. So I danced to make his command effective. This is called "Warrior Lan Ling enters the array". "Yuefu Miscellanies" drum rack said: "There are generations, which began in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The SHEN WOO brothers are brave and good at fighting. He wore a mask every time he went to war, but he won in the end. Performers wear purple waist and gold whip. In the Tang Dynasty, Cui's Jiao Fangji said: "The big noodles came from the northern Qi Dynasty." . The soldier Lan Ling is respectful and brave, but she looks like a woman. She felt that she was not enough to threaten the enemy, so she carved a mask and chickened out because the play was also a song. "Thus, LanLing warrior often go out with a ferocious mask, not hearsay, nor groundless. Later, the appearance of "facial makeup" in Beijing opera may be related to the influence of "Mask of Lanling Warriors" and dance music "Lanling Warriors Ensemble".
Third, courage and good reputation.
Historically, the warrior Lan Ling was a famous soldier with both civil and military skills and wisdom and courage in the Northern Dynasties. Some people say that he is "brave and good at fighting", while others say that he is "brave and invincible in the three armed forces." This shows that his bravery is not only because he wears a ferocious mask. Threats alone will certainly not scare off the enemy. The key is that he has his own fighting skills beyond ordinary people. The ferocious mask only adds a legendary aura to his bravery and invincibility. The warrior Lan Ling participated in numerous battles, big and small, in his life. One of them is the famous Mangshan War in history. In 564 AD, the Turks in the northern grassland and the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Loess Plateau attacked the Northern Qi Dynasty. Luoyang, an important town in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Northern Qi hurriedly mobilized troops to clear the way. Outside Luoyang, the Northern Qi reinforcements attacked again and again, and they were all defeated by the Northern Zhou army, and the whole army was about to collapse. At this time, the soldier Lan Ling, who was appointed as General Zhong Jun, was dressed in "bedding face", armor and a sword in his hand. He led 500 cavalry, bravely entered the encirclement of Zhou Jun, and reached Luoyang at the gates. The Beiqi army guarding the city was trapped for many days and dared not open the door rashly. The soldier Lan Ling took off his mask, and the Beiqi army in the city immediately cheered, opened the gate, and joined forces with the army outside the city to bravely kill the defeated Zhou Jun. "The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty" records: "When Mangshan was defeated, the long-term workers were the Central Army, and 500 soldiers were led to ride on Zhou Jun, and then they were besieged by Jin Yong. The people in the city were very knowledgeable. The long-term workers avoided showing their faces, but they were saved by the crossbowman, so they won a great victory. Samurai ballad is "Samurai Lanling Entering the Array". " There is also a record in the history books: Zhou Jun "abandoned the camp, from Mangshan to Shui Gu, three miles, military equipment, full of Sichuan and Ze." It was this great victory that made the warrior Lan Ling famous, and the Northern Qi Emperor added him as a minister.
The warrior Lan Ling is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has repeatedly made meritorious deeds. He was loyal to serving and waiting for others, and was widely known among soldiers and society at that time. According to the Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was "diligent and meticulous, and every time he tasted the sweetness, although he counted a few fruits, he would compete with the soldiers". As a relative of the troubled times dynasty, it is really rare to share joys and sorrows with soldiers without shelves. Even for political opponents, he can be lenient. According to historical records, the long-term worker joined the army when he was in Yingzhou. Yang accused him of taking bribes and bending the law, and the long-term worker was dismissed. When Gao Changgong made a comeback and led troops to attack Ding Yang, Shenyang was executing orders in Gao Changgong's camp, so he was very afraid that Gao Changgong would take the opportunity to retaliate and kill himself. To this end, Gao Changgong comforted him and said, "I didn't mean to." But Yang's right heart is still not practical, and he has to beg for punishment. Gao Changgong had to make a small mistake and hit Yang Erban so that he could settle down. The Book of Northern Qi also recorded a very touching detail of his "civilian". When he went to court, he said that "all the servants who followed him were scattered, and only the long-term workers returned alone." Afterwards, Gao Changgong was able to shrug off, "no punishment". It can be seen that he is very generous and kind to his servants. In the crazy era of Northern Qi Dynasty, when people were "not treated as human beings" and beheaded and killed at every turn, his generous and kind side was unique, exuding warm human brilliance and making people admire him.
Fourth, the final tragic fate.
Wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will be destroyed, work will cover the Lord, and disaster will fall. The pinnacle of life glory may often be the starting point of tragedy. For the warrior Lan Ling, the biggest sorrow is that he was born into a crazy, almost abnormal royal family. Since the founding of Beiqi, there have been six emperors in just 28 years. It's terrible that uncles torture each other and brothers kill each other. One is shorter than the other, and one is crazier than the other. Although the warrior Lan Ling has a soft appearance, outstanding military exploits, and has been careful all his life, he has tried his best to avoid disasters and protect himself, but he still can't change his tragic fate.
"The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty" contains: long-term workers "Lisi Zhou Mu, who is in the second state of Qingying, is quite rich in goods." Bribery people often go in and out at the door, which makes people make irresponsible remarks. But what is the purpose of the greedy people's money is unknown. According to himself, this is to tarnish his reputation and avoid the jealousy of the court. After Mangshan won a great victory, Wu Cheng gave him 20 beautiful concubines, but he was "just one of them" because he was afraid of being too ostentatious and jealous. It also says: Long-term workers "have a thousand dollars to pay for it, and they will burn it on the day of death." In other words, before he died, he burned all the debts owed to him by others. Judging from his character in dealing with people, he is generous and kind, unlike a greedy and lecherous person. Many historians believe that Gao Changgong was deliberately greedy for money and polluted himself in order to avoid disaster.
The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty records that in Ding Yang, it belonged to Wei Xiangyuan and said, "Since the King was sent by North Korea, how could he be so greedy?" Chang Hong didn't answer. Xiang Xiang said, "Didn't Mangshan win a great victory, fearing jealousy and wanting to pollute?" The long-term worker said, "Of course." Xiang Xiang said, "If the imperial court is jealous of the king, it is easy to be punished here, and if you seek happiness, you will be in a hurry." Dragon Palace tears, please take care of your knees. Xiang said, "Today, Wang Qian has won the victory, and its reputation has been greatly shaken. He should be sick at home, so don't expect anything. " Living in such a horrible royal family, you can't help but be nervous. Since then, whenever a long-term worker encounters a war, he refuses to get sick. Deliberately "not treating diseases" in order to avoid disasters. Once, Jianghuai was disturbed and the military affairs were in an emergency. He dared not worship the general again, but felt sorry for himself: "I was swollen last year, why not send it today?" I really want to hit my face and pretend to be a patient.
Gao Wei, the ruler of the late Northern Qi Dynasty, was weak. Compared with his ancestors, Gao Wei is more dissolute and less cruel, but he is not soft when he kills his relatives. One day in 565 AD, when Gao Wei and the warrior Lan Ling talked about the victory of Mangshan, they said, "It's too late to regret the war." The soldier Lan Ling was excited and enthusiastic when he heard that his brother was so distressed by himself. He replied affectionately, "I don't feel good about my family." It was this expression of intimacy and loyalty that led to his death. The history book says, "The emperor disliked family matters, so he avoided them." Because in the eyes of Gao Wei, the narrow-minded ruler, family affairs are my Gao Wei's, not something you casually say. I began to wonder whether the warrior Lan Ling, who has the military power, wants to replace it and turn "state affairs" into "family affairs". After the warrior Lan Ling said the wrong thing, he was deeply troubled and worried all day long. Although he has repeatedly kept a low profile and deliberately played down himself, he can't escape the tragic fate of "if you tell me to die, I have to die". One day in May in the fourth year of Wuping (AD 573), the late Lord Gao Wei sent an envoy to visit the warrior Lan Ling, and the gift was a cup of poisoned wine. The warrior Lan Ling was so angry that he said to his beloved Princess Zheng, "I am loyal to my work, and I am embarrassed by heaven!" Zheng Fei advised him, "Why don't you ask God?" Naive Zheng Fei thought it might just be a misunderstanding between brothers. As long as Gao Su intercedes with the emperor, he can get his own life back. And the warrior Lan Ling himself knows that it is useless to find a backward master to explain. A year ago, Hu Luguang, a etiquette veteran who fought bravely with himself, was also innocently lured into the palace and brutally strangled with a bowstring. In despair, the soldier Lan Ling left a sentence, "How can you see the beauty of heaven?" So he gulped it down and resolutely left this messy world. Burn all bonds before you die. At that time, the warrior Lan Ling was only in his early 30 s (unknown) and was buried in the west of Duchengye (now Linzhang County, Handan) after his death. The killing of the military commander Lan Ling marked the end of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Four years later, the Northern Qi Dynasty, which lost its military pillar, was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyong, and almost all the descendants of Gao were slaughtered.
Millennium ancient songs handed down to this day.
It was also in the "Great Victory in Mangshan Mountain" that the Northern Qi warriors celebrated their victory with masked songs and dances, and the widely circulated "Warrior Lan Ling entered the array" was born. Later, the song was fixed as a solo dance by a man wearing a mask to direct the assassination. The melody is tragic, imposing, simple and melodious, describing the heroic scene and intense emotion at that time.
After the birth of this song, it quickly spread among the people. In the Sui Dynasty, it was officially included in the court dance music. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, classified it as "non-pronunciation" and banned it by imperial edict. Since then, it has gradually faded the true colors of Wu Qu and evolved into a "soft dance". During the Southern Song Dynasty, it evolved into Yuefu, named Warrior Lanling Slow, which was divided into Yue tune and Dashi tune. When singing in Yuediao, it is divided into three sections and twenty-four beats. Mao Kai said in "A Record of Yinqiao" that "in the end, this kind of voice is still stirring", and there are still "legacy voices" to be discovered. The warrior Lan Ling is slow and sings in a big stone tone, which is divided into two parts, 16 beats. According to Wang Zhuo's Bi Ji Man Zhi, it is already an "old song". Later, this song was gradually lost in China. Fortunately, the Lanling samurai ensemble introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty retained several real features. In ancient Japan, this song was played repeatedly during the Horse Racing Festival on May 5th, the Sumo Festival on July 7th and the archery competition to celebrate the victory. Until now, when the annual Japanese classical music and dance performance was held in Nara, Japan on 1 month 15, "Brave Lanling Ensemble" was the first solo performance. The Japanese regard it as orthodox elegant music and cherish it all the more. There is a very strict system of "attacking the name" and "secret biography" to preserve and inherit it, so that we are fortunate enough to enjoy the original and rich Lanling dance music after thousands of years. 1986, the cultural relics in Cixian County, Hebei Province found this song through Japanese experts. On September 6th, 1992, that is, 1428 after the song came out, an elegant orchestra, organized by Ma Zhongli, cultural administrator of Handan City, and led by Professor Li Zhikan of Nara University, Japan, dedicated and performed this song in front of the tomb of Lanling Warriors in Cixian County. The ensemble of the warrior Lan Ling returned to his hometown.
The soldier Lanling Gaosu Tomb is located 5 kilometers south of Cixian County, Handan City. The tomb is very high, surrounded by transparent walls, and there is a pavilion in the cemetery. 1920, local villagers dug up the monument of the warrior Gao Su in Lanling when they were building roads to borrow soil. Yang Wen's four lines and sixteen characters are engraved on the tablet: "The tablet of Lanling loyal to King Wu is the same as Huang Yue's, with the right teacher and the right comfort". The inscription truly records the life experience of the warrior Lan Ling Gao Su and the year of the monument. Although the handwriting is dim, it is still vigorous and simple. Because of its historical value and artistic value of calligraphy, it is called the first product of North Monument. 1988, the warrior lanling monument was listed as a key protected cultural relic by the state.
Facing the heroic statue in front of the tomb of the warrior Lan Ling and the tall enclosure behind him, every time I walk to the front, it not only makes people look back, sigh and imagine. Legendary life, chaotic times.
The tragedy of heroes may be the sorrow of that era.
