The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
We will say that people are forgetful and fickle, in many cases when they are in a lofty position, at the peak of their brilliant careers, it is inevitable to forget their former self, and even when they are oblivious, they will say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing because of a thought, which may not produce a greater risk in modern times, but in the feudal period, as the master of the world, the emperor decides the life and death of others, if you go to the emperor to climb the relationship, then naturally it is your own way to find your own death, even, for this practice, It is completely touching the bottom line of the emperor, and it is completely a matter of self-misfortune.
There is a person in history, although he has made great merits for the emperor, but because he went against the emperor's will and did something that should not be done, he finally attracted the disaster of killing himself. This person's name was Gao Jiao, and in history, Yang Jian, as the chancellor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, once approached him, hoping that he would submit to his subordinates and then help him build a great river and mountain. It was also through such an opportunity that he eventually became Yang Jian's right-hand man.
He constantly charged forward, eliminating all difficulties for Yang Jian, and through continuous cooperation between kings and subjects, the power of the Sui Dynasty was stabilized. At this time, he naturally also gained the trust of the emperor, not only participated in the revision of the formulation and reform of many laws in the early days of the Sui Dynasty, but also created a new taxation system and promoted the establishment of the imperial examination system in the later period. In 589 AD, he was appointed by the emperor of the dynasty as the marshal of changshi, and was ordered to lead a large army to destroy the southern dynasty, which was the completion of the unification of the north and the south, so he became the Duke of Qi.
In the historical data, the evaluation of this person is very high, saying that he is a person who really has a literary and martial strategy, whether in learning or in military achievements, is unique, and it is precisely because of this that the monarch at that time trusted him more, and in the later period, in order to win him over, he married the daughter of his son Yang Yong to his son, and through such a political marriage, the relationship between them was closer. However, the higher the merit, the easier it is to touch, and the minefield that should not be touched, as the person around the emperor, should be jealous of his identity and slightly restrained. However, this prince became more and more arrogant, and often even thought that he was an important person around the emperor, and even the emperor's family affairs could intervene, so he repeatedly fell into crisis.
The emperor Yang Jian in history is rare, and for his temperament and morality, he has also been praised by future generations, because his empress is an arbitrary person, even if the husband becomes the son of heaven of the dynasty, he is not allowed to marry a new person, and once it is found that the emperor has such an idea, he will be forced with his life, in this case, Yang Jian at that time was not able to re-establish a concubine, and for Gao Jiao was also a supporter of the empress, if the emperor had an idea, He would even join other ministers in advising the emperor to put the world first and not to lose the support of the people of the world because of a woman.
The reason why the emperor is fickle is precisely because he has great power, which makes others have the power to kill, and naturally he is destined to be an ambitious person, although as his own relative, he should not interfere excessively in his own family affairs like this. Therefore, it did not take long for him to be disliked by Yang Jian, although he was a veteran who had been in the battlefield for a long time, but this tall man often made small reports in front of the emperor. Naturally, it also made the emperor tired, and in the end, he did not trust him as much as before. After all, no one likes someone who constantly says bad things about others behind their backs.
Later, when Yang Yong was deposed, his wife died, and Yang Jiansheng, as the emperor cared for his courtiers, wanted to persuade him to be able to renew the string, so that it would be conducive to someone to take care of his food, clothing, and living in the later period, but he told the emperor that he had no intention of remarrying his wife. However, not long after saying this, it was found by the emperor that his concubine had given birth to a son, which also made the emperor more suspicious of him. As a person who constantly interferes in the affairs of others, but he is so unruly, he is bound to fall into the mouth.
Later, he was framed by his subordinates to conspire against Emperor Gaozong and wanted to become the next Sima Yi. Through the superposition of many things, the founding hero was isolated by the emperor. But after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, the tyrant was very dissatisfied with him, and it did not take long to lose patience and kill him through the crime of slander. For such an ending, it is actually very obvious, perhaps the people around him have seen it, assuming that he can enjoy life peacefully in his old age and interfere less in some major affairs of the government, maybe it is okay, he can start and end well, but in the end, no one can rewrite the history, and no one can change the greed and triviality in human nature.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
