Reign

He proclaimed himself khagan after coup against Yujiulü Anagui by Qilifa Shifa (俟力发示发). Having lost the fight, Anagui fled to Northern Wei. Emperor Xiaoming sheltered him and ordered his advisors to bring him to palace, using the opportunity. The Chinese court sent an ambassador who was to find out Poluomen’s intentions and urge him to accept Anagui as his vassal. Poluomen did not speak with the ambassador, who refused to give him honor as a sovereign lord.

Soon, unrest began again in Rouran, Qilifa Shifa this time marched against him. Gaoche took advantage of it and attacked Poluomen. Khagan was forced to transfer the capital to Liangzhou (Central Gansu) and asked to accept Wei overlordship. On the whole, as Poluomen lost power over the Rouran and several nobles started to contest against each other. Northern Wei solved the problem by partitioning Rouran between Poluomen and Anagui. Anagui resided in Huaishuo (modern Guyang, Inner Mongolia), while Poluomen ruled from Xihai (modern Ejin, Inner Mongolia).

Later in 522 Poluomen decided to flee with his soldiers to Hephtalite relatives, but the Chinese troops arrested him and in 522 took him to Luoyang, where he would live under the house arrest in the Lonananguan Palace, where he died in 525.

He was posthumously created Duke Guangmu (广牧公).

The Rouran Khaganate, also known as Ruanruan or Juan-juan, was a tribal confederation and later state founded by a people of Proto-Mongolic Donghu origin. The Rouran supreme rulers used the title of khagan, a popular title borrowed from the Xianbei. The Rouran Khaganate lasted from the late 4th century until the middle 6th century with territories that covered all of modern day Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, as well as parts of Manchuria in Northeast China, Eastern Siberia, Xinjiang, and Kazakhstan. The Hephthalites were vassals of the Rouran Khaganate until the beginning of the 5th century, with the royal house of Rourans intermarrying with the royal houses of the Hephthalites. The Rouran Khaganate ended when they were defeated by a Göktürk rebellion at the peak of their power, which subsequently led to the rise of the Turks in world history.

Emperor Wen of Western Wei ( 魏文帝), personal name Yuan Baoju (元寶炬), was the first emperor of the Western Wei dynasty of China. In 534, Yuan Baoju, then the Prince of Nanyang, followed his cousin Emperor Xiaowu of Northern Wei in fleeing from the capital Luoyang to Chang'an, after a fallout between Emperor Xiaowu and the paramount general Gao Huan. However, Emperor Xiaowu's relationship to the general that he then depended on, Yuwen Tai, soon deteriorated as well, and around the new year 535, Yuwen Tai poisoned Emperor Xiaowu to death, making Yuan Baoju emperor. As Gao Huan had, late in 534, made Yuan Shanjian —the son of Emperor Wen's cousin Yuan Dan (元亶)—emperor, thus establishing the Eastern Wei, Emperor Wen is therefore regarded as Western Wei's founding emperor, formalizing the division of the Northern Wei dynasty. Emperor Wen's relationship with Yuwen Tai appeared cordial, but he was unable to exercise much real power.
