In the ancient feudal dynasties of our country, there were two dynasties and their similarities. That is, the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, both ended the division of the world and completed the unification, but both quickly collapsed the country. Similarly, both dynasties have left a profound impact on future generations. From the perspective of ancient historians, it was because the Second Emperor was too violent that led to the collapse of the society. However, the Sui Emperor was not a true dimwitted lord, but was high-minded and far-reaching, and disagreed with many ministers. Disobeying the advice of his courtiers and obstinately going his own way, he eventually led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty, leaving a Grand Canal to tell the story of the former glory of the Sui Dynasty.
Among the many courtiers who advised the Sui Emperor not to build a large number of civil engineering, there was such a person who secretly ridiculed the Sui Emperor in person. He was su wei, an important minister of the two dynasties of the Sui Dynasty, the Book of Sui. The Sixth Book of The Chronicles records: "Yang Xuan's sense of the opposite, the emperor ying Wei in the tent, afraid of seeing the color, said Wei Yue: "This little child is smart, is it not troublesome?" Wei Yue: "The master knows right from wrong, and judges the success or failure, but the so-called wisdom." Those who are not intelligent will have nothing to worry about. But I'm afraid of dipping into a messy ear. ”
Su Wei saw that the Sui Emperor had recruited the people of the world as laborers for his own merits, which made the people uncertain. Therefore, in the recitation of the Sui Emperor, there is a vague irony, however, it is not understood by the Sui Emperor. Su Wei himself was born in Shaanxi, and when the world was uncertain, he was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was reused by two generations of emperors in the Sui Dynasty. His family was prominent, and his ancestors were Su Ze, who was a servant of Cao Wei, and in the Su family at that time, there was also the Western Wei Du Branch Shangshu Su Qi, that is, Su Wei's father. The Su family also married Ōtsuka Zai Yuwen Go, and Su Wei's wife was Yuwen Go's daughter.
Before the Sui Emperor Yang Jian ascended the throne, Su Wei, although he had a talent and background, was not allowed to be reused. His father-in-law Yuwen Hu was even murdered by Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou in the name of chaos. After the unification of the world in Northern Zhou and Yang Jian's Sui Dynasty, Su Wei began to show his talents in the court. Emperor Wen of Sui, who was a hero with a discerning eye, enlisted Su Wei as Tai Changqing and Prince Shaobao. In order to make Su Wei truly serve the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui also posthumously named his father Su Qi the Duke of Pi, with 3,000 households of food, and even hereditary replacement. In this way, Su Wei was reused by Yang Jian and was able to exert his ambitions.
Su Wei, who entered the Sui Dynasty's heavy subject system, had the trust of the emperor in the upper echelons, assisted Emperor Wen for many years, and became one of Emperor Wen's "four nobles", along with Gao Xi, Yang Xiong, and Yu Qingze. However, since the Sui Dynasty was founded by the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the former Yuwen clan, Su Wei was also Yuwen Hu's son-in-law, so he was often attacked in the court, and his encounters were also ups and downs. Fortunately, during the reign of Emperor Wen, Su Wei was quite valued.
When the Sui Emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne, Su Wei, a heavy minister of Emperor Wen, was even worshipped as a great general. However, in the area of Daxing Civil Engineering, Su Wei and the Sui Emperor disagreed, so Su Wei was implicated and dismissed from his post until more than a year later, when Cao re-participated in the government. Later, in the Sui Dynasty, his career rose and he was almost a vassal. However, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Su Wei was framed by the traitors for speaking out and advising, and was deposed.
In the chaotic world, he first returned to Shunyu Culture, Li Mi, Yang Tong, Wang Shichong, etc., and was considered to have no wind bones of courtiers. History of the North. In the fourth book of the book, Wang Shanyan said: "Su Wei is cowardly. Later, the Li Tang royal family unified the world, su Wei was despised by Li Shimin, and he was not shi for life, and his old age ended in disgrace.
