The Sui Dynasty Emperor was a famous brutal emperor in history, who did not sympathize with the people's feelings and insisted on digging the Grand Canal, taking a dragon boat down to Jiangnan to play, and also casting beauty on the boat, which can be described as faint to the extreme. However, Yang Guang was also a very accomplished emperor, who created the imperial examination system during his reign, and the Grand Canal is also known as a great project of "disadvantages in the present, benefits in the hereafter". So many people criticize him, and many people praise him.
Two extremely ironic things happened to Yang Guang, killing his brother Yang Yong and giving Chen Hou the title of "Jiao", a cycle of cause and effect, and finally the retribution to his own head. The feudal society was the primogeniture system, and it was reasonable to say that it was not Yang Guang's turn to become emperor, but the crown prince Yang Yong lived a luxurious life and was not liked, so Emperor Wen of Sui abolished the prince and established Yang Guang as the crown prince. Isn't Yang Guang the Prince of Darkness, so why did he make him crown prince? Although Yang Guang was violent, he was not stupid. Before becoming emperor, he behaved of good character, and his fierce nature was immediately exposed after Emperor Wen's abdication. He first killed his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, and then his brother Yang Yong.
But today, more than a thousand years later, Heaven made a joke to Yang Guang. In 2013, a developer named Yang Yong stumbled upon an ancient tomb during construction, but when experts excavated it, they found that the owner of the tomb was actually Yang Guang, the Sui Dynasty Emperor. You cut off my head, I dig your grave, it is really not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for a thousand years.
Another thing can be said to be a typical present newspaper. Four months after the Sui Emperor killed his father, the imprisoned Lord Chen Hou also died. When the Sui Dynasty started a war against the Chen Dynasty, The Lord of Chen Hou was drunk and lingering among the drunken gold fans, as if the threat of national subjugation did not exist at all. Later, after being defeated and captured, Yang Jian treated him with great courtesy, although the treatment was good, but in the end he was reduced to a prisoner of the order. But Lord Chen Hou did not care at all, indulging in wine all day, drunkenly dreaming of death. Therefore, Yang Guang looked down on him in his heart, and so-called gave Lord Chen Hou a worst nickname, "Jiao".
What he never expected was that Chen Hou lord's encounter not only did not wake up Yang Guang, but made him even more intense. The construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal cost the people money, the people suffered unspeakably, and launched three wars against the outside world, and the servitude aggravated the people's livelihood. After he lost the expedition, he, like Lord Chen Hou, did not leave his cup all day, and was eventually strangled to death with a rope by Yu Wenhua and the rebels led by Yu Wenhua and the jiangdu palace.
When Li Yuan gave Yang Guang the title of Emperor, he also gave him the character "炀" as a courtesy name, called the Sui Emperor, which was really extremely ironic. So what exactly does "chia" mean? Historia. The Commentary on the Fa says: Good Inner Far Rites are known as Jiao. Fornication at home, no courtesy. The Sui Dynasty Emperor's "炀" means "good internal slack government" and "external internal chaos". That is to say, indulging in selfish desires and slacking off in the government and politics, causing chaos inside and outside, this evaluation is still relatively pertinent for the Sui Emperor.
