After Yu Wenhuaji killed the emperor Yang Guang, he discussed with everyone how to establish a new emperor. Yu Wenhua and his brothers were not really crazy enough to declare themselves emperors, so they knew that at this time they had to act under the guise of "holding the emperor hostage to order the princes".
As for who should be established as emperor, there is some controversy.
In fact, there are not many people in the Yang Sui clan. Yang Jian's father, Yang Zhong, initially entered Luoyang as a slave following the Beihai Wang Yuanhao who rebelled against Wei and surrendered to the Liang Dynasty and became independent. After becoming famous, he only had a few distant relatives. As for the real Yang clan, there are only four brothers and five sons of Yang Jian.
Of course, the emperor could not choose among the descendants of Yang Jian's brothers, otherwise the blood relationship would be too far to convince the public, and then only Yang Jian's five sons and their descendants would be left.
Among them, Yang Yong has died, and Yang Jun and Yang Liang died early. Therefore, Yu Wenhuaji wanted to marry Yang Jian's fourth son, Yang Xiu. Yuwen's family was still related to Yang Xiu. Yuwen Zhiji's wife, Changsun, was the cousin of Yang Xiu's wife, and Yang Xiu was considered her cousin-in-law.
