As the saying goes, "Children are not ugly, dogs are not poor", which means that children are raised by their mothers, and no matter what, they will not dislike their mothers. A dog is always the most loyal, no matter what, it will not abandon its owner for being poor, as long as it is full of food.
However, in history, there have been cases where mothers have found that children are ugly or even freaks after giving birth to children, or bad characters, and then make harmful acts to newborn children. For example, there is a legend that Nezha was born as a meat ball, and his father thought it was very unlucky.
The Yang Jian that this article is going to talk about is very ugly when he was born. In fact, there must be many such things in history, but because Yang Jian was later the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he was recorded in the history books.
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui later unified the world and destroyed the southern State of Chen in the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Kai, which ended the confrontation between the North and the South. In the fourth year of Renshou, Emperor Wen of Sui died, which means that he died 15 years after unifying the world, but his influence continued into the Tang Dynasty.
After Yang Jian became emperor, Chen of the Southern Dynasty was still there. Once, Southern Chen sent an envoy to Sui, and was frightened by Yang Jian's appearance. After the envoy returned to China, he painted the appearance of Yang Jian, and Lord Chen Hou was horrified to see the portrait and said, "I don't want to see this person, so throw the portrait away."
Yang Jian's nickname is Naroyan, which is a Sanskrit word meaning Hercules. Why is Yang Jian called this name? This has to be said from his birth.
Yang Jian's father was named Yang Zhong, handsome and burly, and highly skilled in martial arts. In the seventh year of the unification of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yang Zhong's wife Lü Shi gave birth to a male doll at Banruo Temple. Because Yang Jian is very ugly, there are five bulges on his forehead like erect bumps, his face is long, and his jaw is prominent, so he frightened his mother as soon as he was born.
The couple intended to abandon the baby, but was heard by a nun at Prajnaparamita Temple. The Book of Sui records that the nun laughed and told Lü that Yang Jian could not be raised like an ordinary person, so the nun took Yang Jian to the annex and personally raised him.
As the nun said, Yang Jian later became emperor. Yang Jian's fortune began with his daughter marrying Yuwen Yun, the son of Emperor Wu of Zhou. Emperor Wu of Zhou's son married Yang Jian's eldest daughter and was made crown princess. After the death of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yun succeeded to the throne, and two years later Yuwen Yun became critically ill, and Yang Jian assisted the imperial government. In 581, Yang Jian was given the title of "King of Sui", and in the same month he accepted the Zen concession of emperor Jing of Northern Zhou and officially called himself emperor, with the state name Sui.
Perhaps it is the lack of parental love, the young Yang Jian is deep and quiet, when he first entered the Taixue, even a very close person did not dare to tease him, otherwise he would jump like thunder, and his eyes would be rewarded.
Yang Jian entered Taixue at the age of 12 and spent 12 years in the temple, which led to his indifference to his brothers. Yang Jian is the eldest, and there are three younger brothers below, because Yang Jian has not grown up at home since childhood, resulting in a very bad relationship with his younger brothers.
Yang Jian once fell ill, and his younger brother was very happy, hoping that the eldest brother would die early, and there would be one less person to divide the family property. However, after Yang Jian knew, he told his father that if he flew to the top in the future, he would definitely make his brothers suffer more and change their surnames.
Later, after Yang Jian gained power, he poisoned one of his younger brothers and also ravaged his nephew in every way. It can be said that Yang Jian is a person who must repay with his eyes wide open. After Yang Jian became emperor, he persecuted his brothers and nephews very badly, and many did not die normally. So much so that when their family has a life expectancy, the family laughs, because it is a very lucky ending to be able to die.
Even if Yang Jian had these shortcomings, it did not affect him to become an emperor for thousands of years, and his deeds could not be erased. However, it may be that "the upper liang is not right and the lower liang is crooked", his son Yang Guang is also a person who is not friendly to his brother, Yang Guang killed his brother Yang Yong after he ascended the throne of God through Renshou Palace. I didn't expect that the nun's kindness would cause such a big impact on Yang Jian's growing environment.
After getting rid of Wei Zhongxian, the Ming Dynasty collapsed, for the simple reason that Wei Zhongxian did not plunder the poor
