At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the warlord Yu Wentai supported King Nanyang as emperor and established the capital in Chang'an. It was called the Western Wei Dynasty in history, opposite the Eastern Wei Dynasty supported by Gao Huan.
Yuwentai held the political power and was the de facto leader of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his nephew Yuwenhu, who was only six years younger than him, was his capable subordinate.
After the death of Nanyang King Yuan Baoju, his eldest son succeeded to the throne first, but he was deposed by Yuwentai within three years and replaced by Yuan Kuo, the fourth son of Yuan Baoju. At this time, Yuan Kuo was only seventeen years old.
One year at a palace banquet, Yuan Kuo entertained Yuwentai's sons.
Yuan Kuo was seventeen years old, and most of Yu Wentai's sons were younger than him, but at the banquet, it was Yuan Kuo, the emperor who had just ascended the throne, who felt most embarrassed.
