Modu Chanyu was born around 235 BC as one of the heirs of the Xiongnu Empire. However, his father Touman wanted another one of his sons be the next king instead of Modu. He sent Modu away to a neighboring people in hopes that he would be killed.
Modu escaped, though, and returned home a hero. He was made the leader of 10,000 horsemen and began gathering followers. In order to test their loyalty, he ordered them to kill his favorite horse. Those who refused were executed. He then would ask them to kill his favorite wife. Again, those who refused were executed.
When he was sure of their loyalty, Modu ordered his soldiers to kill his father, the emperor. They fired a shower of arrows at him and murdered the man. With his father dead, Modu was now the emperor of the Xiongnu Empire.
