A Brief Introduction to Yang Yuting reveals Yang Guang, the worst emperor in the history of China.

Emperor Yang Guang in the history of Yang Di unified the whole country. During his reign, he built the Grand Canal, built Luoyang City, opened up the Silk Road, launched the imperial examination, and levied Korea three times. He played an important role in history, ending 300-400 years of war in China, and since then China has entered an era of peace and prosperity. An emperor with outstanding military exploits did not even have a decent coffin after his death, and his living space was less than half an acre. Sometimes history is really unfair. There is only one reason. The Sui Dynasty perished here. The conquered king talked about his good reputation, not to mention the funeral. Poor Yang Guang.

In fact, there are many poor emperors in history, such as Zhou Taizu, Xian Di, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and Chongzhen. Chongzhen, Li Yu, Guangxu, Puyi and others are also poor. Although they are diligent and love the people, they were born in an inappropriate era. The emperor who died the worst was Song Huizong Xu Huixin, who killed Dasong and committed suicide. The gorgeous Queen Zhu is often harassed by nomadic people in China. He failed to hang himself and finally died of a serious illness. The body was burned in a stone pit. When it was burnt to a semi-coke, the fire was extinguished and the body was thrown into the pit.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarch of the State of Jin died in the toilet. I think she has cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Wu Tai, the king of Qin, is a rich, young and promising king. He likes to compare with his neighbors. As a result, he died as soon as he compared Luoyang. Emperor Sima Yao of Wu Xiao died at the hands of his imperial concubine. This is a joke! Looking back at the poor emperors above, compared with the worst emperor who died, no one can surpass Yang Di in his life achievements. However, the place to live after death is small and pitiful. The coffin is made of a servant's bed board. Yang Di Yang Guang is undoubtedly the poorest emperor in the history of China!

We might as well turn over the history and look at Yang Guang's outstanding contributions in his life. In 589 AD, Yang Guang, who was only 20 years old, was regarded as the Grand Marshal of the Sui Dynasty, and led 565,438+10,000 troops to attack the Chen Dynasty, thus completing the reunification of China. During the ten years of Huang Dynasty, a large-scale rebellion broke out in some places in the old south. Yang Guang was appointed as the prefect of Jiangnan, stationed in Jiangdu to suppress the rebellion and reigned for ten years. He is really a good general, whether civilian or military, his army has high prestige among the people! For twenty years, he has been the commander-in-chief of the Turks in Ren Yuanzheng.

The completion of the canal connects Qiantang River, Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River and Haihe River. The scale of this project is huge, and Yang Guang is far-sighted, which has brought great benefits to future generations of China. Zhangye's westward expedition not only expanded the territory, but also opened up the Silk Road, which was a feat of emperors in previous dynasties! Sending troops to fight not only prevented and delayed the rise of Qidan. Westbound to Zhangye County in Hexi Corridor, we are not afraid of snowstorms, and the temperature is below zero. What spirit is this! How admirable!

Footprints spread all over Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, Qiemo and other counties, further indicating that Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other northwest regions have become an inseparable part of China. After Emperor Yang Di arrived in Zhangye, monarchs and Mitchell from 27 countries in the western regions appeared in front of him, and businessmen from all over the world gathered in Zhangye for trade. In the feudal history of China, no emperor has ever been to such a distant west and gained a great reputation. Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di was the first!

The official birth of Chinese imperial examination system is also a great innovation of Yang Guang. After Emperor Wendi of Sui acceded to the throne, he abolished the system of Zheng Zhi with Nine Grades and began to choose officials by subject. During the reign of Yang Di, Jinshi Branch was formally established. At that time, the postgraduate course was mainly to test political papers, and it was of far-reaching significance to select talents with outstanding literary talents, which not only greatly strengthened centralization, but also contributed to political stability. After the political situation was stable, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty established the celestial system, which had a far-reaching influence on the Central Plains dynasty.

Yang Guang was conquered because of his ecstatic success and vanity. In the western development, western businessmen were lured to trade with North Korea with money, and local counties were ordered to entertain the Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal where western businessmen passed. This is not equal trade at all, but showing off their martial arts in the name of trade. In fact, this is a loss-making industry, which wastes the country's great wealth in vain.

In addition, Yang Di attacked Korea three times before and after, which greatly weakened the national strength of the Sui Dynasty. The demise of Emperor Yang Di had much to do with the conquest of Korea. The first conquest failed, with more than 300,000 troops, but in the end only two or three thousand people returned. The second invasion forced the army to retreat. At that time, the world will be in chaos, and the dynasty has shown signs of collapse. However, Emperor Yang Di launched the third anti-Korean War.

This time, near North Korea, the water army of Sui Dynasty defeated the North Korean army, and korean king Gao Yuan sent troops to surrender. In 6 13, Emperor Yang Di sent his troops back to Korea. Yang Guang's purpose was to pacify the border and complete the great cause of reunification, but the war was costly and aroused people's resistance. In 6 16, wagangjun defeated Zhang Xutuo in Xingyang. In 6 17 AD, Li Yuan started his official career in Jinyang, and soon occupied Chang 'an and established the emperor Xuan Di. 16 18, Jiangdu mutiny, headed by Li, made him emperor and led the people back to Guanzhong. In May, Li Yuan abolished the emperor and claimed to be the emperor, with titles of Tang and Sui.

Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di finally didn't even have a decent coffin. Xiao Gongren dismantled the bed board, made a small coffin and secretly buried it in Jiangdu Palace. Yang Guang was great and clever before his death! Even worse after death. Poor thing! Poverty is like a pinch of loess, a grain of fine sand, lost in the long river of history.

We only remember his achievements, and sometimes we recall, admire and taste.
