Yang Guang was named the emperor who loved to travel the most? He reigned for 12 years, but lived in Beijing for less than 1 year!
The Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang reigned for 12 years, but his residence in the capital Daxing was less than a year, so where did Yang Guang go at other times? When we were children, we all watched the TV series Sui and Tang Dynasty, in which Yang Guang always played in various places and built a lot of civil engineering, is this a real thing? Today Xiaobian takes you to solve the puzzle.
Yang Guangsheng loves to play, he has not always been willing to stay in one place since he was a child, he prefers to travel around quickly, some people say that he is the name of the parade to show the majesty of his emperor, so that the people are subject to him. Unfortunately, the faster he traveled, the heavier the burden of life on the people, so he was eventually overthrown. So where did he go during his reign?
In his first year as emperor, he took a boat to what is now Yangzhou, and stayed for more than half a year. In the third year, he traveled to the Turkic territory of Saiwai and talked with the khan there. In his fourth year in power, he first went to Gohara and then went out again. During the five years of Daye, he traveled west to Zhangye in Gansu and received envoys from the Western Regions at that time.
In the sixth year of his reign, he stayed in Jiangdu for a whole year; from the seventh year of Daye to the tenth year of Daye, he sent troops to attack the Goryeo state three times; the next year he was trapped by the Turks outside the Yanmen Gate, and he was rescued. So all his life, all the time is either cruising or on the road of rapid travel.
However, he was happy to parade, but the burden on the people at that time was very large. The emperor's travel procession is very large, not to mention that Yang Guang is a hedonist, when he first went to Yangzhou, he directly brought 200,000 people, just to pull the rope for him there were more than 80,000 people, where the people suffered, they had to be responsible for such a large number of people to eat and drink Lasa, after the end of the heavy taxes to pay, many people starved to death.
Moreover, Yang Guang travels in many ways, he has to try anything by land and water, every time he goes out on a tour, the people under the whole world are provided for him, once or twice is fine, but he reigned for twelve years, every year out of the tour, the local officialdom is dark, the people are not happy, and finally lead to great chaos in the world, there are people revolting everywhere, and the last life is whining.
However, Yang Guang has also enjoyed what he should have enjoyed in this life, and Xiaobian feels that his death is not a loss at all, that is, he pitied the people at that time, do you have any other views on this matter? Feel free to leave a message below.
