Chapter 166 Chapter 165: Yin King Tuobayu

In February of the second year of Zhengping (AD 452), Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao was murdered by the eunuch Chang Shi Zongai.Then Zong Ai secretly sent someone to bring Tuobayu, the king of Annan who was closely related to him, into the palace, and then pretended to be the order of Queen Helian, and summoned ministers Lan Yan, He Di, Xue Ti, etc. to enter the palace.As soon as Yan waited into the palace, the 30 eunuchs that Zong Ai had ambushed in advance took weapons to restrain and kill them one by one.Then, he killed Tuobahan, the king of Qin who was supposed to be established, and made Tuobayu emperor, and changed Yuan Chengping.

Tuoba Yu was the son of Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao. He was named King of Wu in the third year of Taiping Zhenjun (442 AD), and changed to King of Nan'an in the first year of Zhengping (451 AD).He knew that he did not ascend to the throne in the normal order, and he was afraid that everyone would not accept him, so he rewarded all the ministers regardless of their meritorious service, so as to win people's hearts.He also indulged himself, indulged in sensuality all day long, often made long nights of drinking, and kept singing and singing, so that he used up all the savings in the treasury within ten months.He loves hunting especially, and he has no restraint. In case of emergency, even his figure can't be found.Sometimes there is an emergency at the border, but he still doesn't care.It made the upper and lower centrifugal, and the people resented.

In order to repay Zong Ai's support, Tuoba Yu appointed him as the Grand Sima, the Grand General, the Grand Master, the Commander of Chinese and foreign military forces, and the Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, and named him King Feng Yi.After Zong Ai took over the government, he was domineering and domineering, and soon made everyone jealous.Tuoba Yu also began to suspect that he wanted to stage a coup d'etat again, intending to deprive him of power.When Zong Ai found out, he was very angry and really started plotting to kill Tuoba Yu.In October of that year, Tuoba Yu went to the Baidengshan Temple in the east of Pingcheng to worship his ancestors. Zong Ai ordered his confidant eunuch Xiaohuangmen Jia Zhou to assassinate Tuoba Yu at night.Tuoba Yu was given the posthumous title of "Hidden King".
