Bùi Đắc Tuyên
Bùi Đắc Tuyên was a mandarin of Tây Sơn dynasty.
Born in Tuy Viễn District, Bình Định Province. He was a son of Bùi Đức Lương, and also an elder brother of Bùi Thị Nhạn, and an uncle of Bùi Thị Xuân.
Nguyễn Quang Toản ascended the throne at a very young age. Tuyên was favoured by the young emperor and came into power. He was granted the position thái sư, and banished one of important ministers, Trần Văn Kỷ, from the capital Phú Xuân.
His behavior had aroused the anger of many ministers and generals. In 1795, Trần Văn Kỷ persuaded Vũ Văn Dũng to stage a coup against Tuyên. Vũ Văn Dũng, Phạm Công Hưng and Nguyễn Văn Huấn, besieged Tuyên's house, arrested him, and threw him into prison.
Dũng ordered Nguyễn Quang Thùy to arrest Ngô Văn Sở, whom was a political ally of Tuyên, in Tonkin. In the same time, Huấn was sent to Quy Nhơn to arrest Bùi Đắc Trụ, the son of Tuyên, in Quy Nhơn. Sở and Trụ were taken to Phú Xuân, and thrown into Perfume River together with Tuyên. The younger emperor could do nothing but weep.
