Chapter 175 Chapter 174: Stability Wang Yuen Long

In October of the first year of Putai (AD 531), Gao Huan supported Anding Wang Yuanlang as emperor in Xindu (now Jixian County, Hebei Province), and changed his reign name to Zhongxing. Yuen Long is the son of Zhang Wu Wang Yuan Rong, and he is a relatively distant branch in the clan.At this time, he was only 19 years old, and he had just been appointed as the governor of Bohai County in Jizhou at the beginning of the year.Yuen Long was not an ideal candidate for the emperor, but Gao Huan pushed him onto the stage in a hurry in order to become famous as a teacher. Due to the unpopularity of the Erzhu Group, Gao Huan won successive military victories after raising his troops.In leap March of the second year of Zhongxing, Erzhu's army was defeated in the first battle of Hanling (now in Anyang, Henan).In April, Gao Huan entered Luoyang and took control of the situation.At this time, Gao Huan began to feel that Anding Wang Yuen Long was a member of the clan and could no longer be emperor.Gao Huan first sent his servant Wei Langen to observe Yuan Gong's behavior, intending to continue to honor Yuan Gong as emperor. Wei Langen saw that Yuan Gong was noble and bright, not like ordinary people, and feared that it would be difficult to control in the future, so he went with Gao Gan brothers and Huangmen servant Cui Wei and others. Gao Huan persuaded Gao Huan to abolish him, and Gao Huan then abolished Yuan Gong.Gao Huan also thought that Runan Wang Yuanyue was the son of Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong, and he planned to establish him, but he heard that he was violent and unpredictable, so he had to give up this plan.Since most of the kings fled and it was difficult to find them, only Yuanxiu, the king of Pingyang, hid in a farmhouse. Gao Huan sent someone to find him and made him emperor, ordering Yuen Long to abdicate the throne to Yuanxiu.In May, Yuen Long was crowned King of Anding County.In November, Yuen Long was killed at the age of 20.In the second year, he was buried in Yemagang in the southwest of Yecheng.
