Shi Wanzai was a famous general from the Northern Zhou to the Sui Dynasty, and during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because his father Shi Jing was killed in the battle of Northern Qi after following the Northern Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong to pacify Northern Qi, Shi Wanzai, as Shi Jing's son, was enfeoffed with the title of Yi Tongsan Division of the Kaifu Prefecture and attacked the Duke of Taiping County. Later, the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian served as the Northern Zhou Chancellor, Wei Chiyi opposed Yang Jian's dictatorship, and rebelled against the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, Shi Wanzai was named a general of shangda for his meritorious service in pacifying Wei Chi, and after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Shi Wanzai accompanied the army to pacify the Turks, went south to destroy Chen, repeatedly made military achievements, and was successively sealed as a general on the chariot and a pillar state. However, Shi Wansheng, who had distinguished himself in battle, was jealous and framed by Yang Su, and was finally unjustly killed by Emperor Wen of Sui.
Once, When Emperor Wen of Sui returned to the capital from Renshou Palace, Emperor Yang Jian of Sui wanted to depose Yang Yong as crown prince, so he strictly prevented the crown prince from forming a party in the Eastern Palace. Emperor Wen of Sui asked where Shi Wanzai was, in fact, at this time Shi Wanzai was in the court, but Yang Su told Emperor Wendi of Sui that Shi Wanzai had gone to the Eastern Palace to visit the crown prince.
At that time, some soldiers who went out on a campaign for the country complained in the courtroom, and Shi Wanzai said that I would tell the emperor your credit and that the matter would be resolved. Shi Wanzai came to see Emperor Wen of Sui and told Emperor Wen of Sui that the generals had made meritorious achievements, but they were suppressed by the imperial court. Shi Wanzai spoke in a very passionate tone, and he was not obedient to Emperor Wen of Sui.
Emperor Wen of Sui had originally listened to Yang Su's words and thought that Shi Wansheng and the prince had formed a party, and had been so defeated by Shi Wanzai, which made Emperor Wen of Sui even more angry, so he ordered the left and right samurai to kill Shi Wanzai violently in the court. After Shi Wanzai's death, although Emperor Wen of Sui regretted killing Shi Wanzai, for the sake of face, he still issued an edict listing many crimes. After Shi Wanzai was killed, the whole country felt sorry for Shi Wanzai.
