Yu Wenyong (543-578), emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was the third emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (reigned 560-578) and reigned 65438-08. He was the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the fourth son of Yu Wentai, the powerful minister of the Western Wei Dynasty. When Yuwen Hu was overbearing, he even killed two emperors and made Yu Wenyong emperor. Unwilling to be a puppet, Yuwen Yong killed Yuwen Hu in 563. During his reign, Yuwen Yong tried his best to get rid of the old habits of Xianbei and accept the Chinese culture. Moreover, he also rectified the bureaucracy, making the Northern Zhou Dynasty politically clear, the people rich and the country prosperous. Yuwen Yong lives frugally and can care about the sufferings of the people in time. According to historical records, he was "dressed in royal robes, and there were no more than ten people in the harem". In addition, he destroyed a large number of pagodas and Buddhist temples all over the country, and strictly ordered monks and nuns to return to the secular world. This is a rich country Qiang Bing movement, which is regarded as one of the three evils. While the Northern Zhou Dynasty was growing stronger, the Northern Qi Dynasty was declining. So at the end of the fourth year of Jiande (575), Yu Wenyong sent troops to attack the decadent Beiqi, and destroyed Beiqi a year and a half later (577). In the first year of Zheng Xuan (578), Yuwen Yong led an army to attack the Turks in five ways, and he died before he started fighting. 36-year-old, Emperor Wu of posthumous title, the temple name is Gaozu. He is an accomplished politician and minority monarch in the history of China. In the history books, he was a strict father who used corporal punishment on his eldest son, Yu Wenyun, and repeatedly threatened Prince Yu Wenyun (Emperor Xuandi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty) who was not good at teaching to cut off his status as a prince, but none of them were implemented in the end.
