Sui Gong Emperor Yang You Introduction How did Yang You die?

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Later generations have a low evaluation of the Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang, and in the TV series, he is portrayed as a gluttonous, addicted to beauty, and tyrannical ruler.

　　During the reign of the Sui Dynasty Emperor, he also created the imperial examination system and built the Grand Canal, which had a profound impact on the political economy of later generations. The real reason for his downfall was the frequent wars he waged during his time.

　　The conquest of Tuguhun, the three marches of Goguryeo, etc., especially the three marches of Goguryeo, all three times ended in failure. Frequent military activities place a huge burden on the country. And his forcible conscription of farmers also caused the people to complain, and as a result, they were attacked by the masses.

　　It is true that Yang Guang, the Sui Emperor, was the culprit of the demise of the Sui Dynasty, but it is not true to say that he was the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Many people believe that he was the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but in fact the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty was the grandson of the Sui Emperor, the Sui Gong Emperor Yang You.

　　Yang You was the third emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but his appearance was not a continuation of the Sui Dynasty, but a foreshadowing of the opening of the Tang Dynasty. His role is really ironic to say.

　　Yang You was born in the first year of Daye, the son of Yang Zhao the Prince of Yuande, and his mother was Concubine Wei. Yang You was intelligent and talented since childhood, so he was quite favored by his grandfather Yang Guang, the Sui Emperor.

　　Daye was named king of Chen for three years, and later changed to the title of daiwang and eating ten thousand households, which was rare in ancient times. In the eleventh year of Daye, the Sui Emperor inspected Jinyang, and Yang You accompanied him, worshiping taiyuan taishou, and soon after zhen shoujingshi.

　　

In May of the thirteenth year of Daye, Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan and invaded Chang'an in November. If the development continues according to the general situation, At this time, Li Yuan should ascend the throne and become emperor.

　　However, at that time, various forces competed, and Li Yuan believed that now was not the best time to ascend the throne and become emperor. Therefore, under his action, Yang You was proclaimed emperor, and Emperor Yaozun of Sui was made emperor taishang. Yes, when Yang You ascended the throne, the Sui Emperor was not yet dead.

　　Although Yang You ascended the throne as emperor, he was actually just a puppet in Li Yuan's hands. He was just a decoration, and he didn't have any rights, and life and death were in Li Yuan's hands.

　　The year after Yang You ascended the throne, that is, in the second year of Yining, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang was killed in the Jiangdu Rebellion. As soon as the Sui Emperor died, Li Yuan knew that the time was ripe to ascend the throne and become emperor.

　　In May of the same year, Yang You, who had only been on the throne for 177 days, abdicated under the threat of Li Yuan.

　　Yang You abdicated, and Li Yuan naturally ascended the throne as emperor and founded the country "Tang". After being forced to abdicate Yang You, Li Yuan issued a decree and demoted him to the position of Duke of Guoguo, after which he lived idly in Chang'an.

　　The year after Yang You abdicated or Li Yuan ascended the throne as emperor, Yang You died at the age of 15. Regarding Yang You's death, Zhengshi said that he died of illness. But there are also rumors that he was killed and died.

　　No matter what kind of death method, the former emperor had a short life, which was a normal thing.

　　Yang You died early and left no heirs, so his title of Duke of Gongguo was later passed to his son Yang Xingji. Yang Xingji had two sons, Yang Huairang and Yang Di. After Yang Xingji's death, the title fell back to Yang Di.
