There is a very controversial emperor in history, that is, the Sui Emperor, some people say that he is indispensable, some people say that he is a heinous emperor, so what did the Sui Emperor do to cause him to talk about it? In fact, the reign of the Sui Emperor was not long, but a series of policies during his reign led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty. Whether the Sui Emperor was a Emperor of the Sui Dynasty or a Ming Emperor, the three things he did had a great impact on future generations, and even indelible, so what were the three things?
Excavation of the Grand Canal
The excavation of the Grand Canal was a good thing, but it was not a good thing in those days. At that time, the actual situation of the Sui Dynasty was not very good, and the country needed to cultivate. But the Sui Emperor did not think so, and he had to dig the Grand Canal. The role of digging the Grand Canal is indeed very large, but it ignores the national conditions, resulting in continuous suffering of the people, many people even have their legs destroyed in order to dig the Grand Canal, and some even die in the river.
Moreover, the excavation of the Grand Canal resulted in a barren field, the men were arrested to dig the river, the land was no longer planted, and the grain production dropped sharply, but the tax could not be less, causing the people to suffer continuously. But everything mingjun will not be so successful, the excavation of the Grand Canal can take a long time, there is no need to rush to complete it so quickly, so as to ensure that the peasants' burden will not be too heavy, but the Sui Emperor is not, it is better to die more people, but also to complete it quickly.
Water Temple Dragon Palace
The Sui Dynasty Emperor's cultivation of the Grand Canal did not have much practical effect at that time, and the only role may be to show off his Water Hall Dragon Palace. At the same time as digging the Grand Canal, the Sui Emperor also sent people to build the Dragon Palace of the Water Temple for himself, showing his strength to the world. You say that the excavation of the Grand Canal has exhausted the lives of the people of your country, and you have also built a water temple dragon palace, is this not to make the people scold? But the Sui Emperor really did it, and really let the Dragon Palace go into the water, you said angry people no. At that time, the scene should be that the Sui Emperor happily sat in the Dragon Palace and played on the Beijing Anti-Japanese Grand Canal, and the people on both sides of the strait constantly cursed in their hearts.
Repeated conquests of Goryeo
There was a small country next to the Sui Dynasty, Goryeo. Although this small country was small, it was quite bold and often harassed the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui had conquered Goryeo, but the weather caused no success, and then the Sui Emperor began again, originally the Sui Emperor and his men said that as long as they surrendered, they would not fight, and the Sui Dynasty soldiers were very fierce, and it did not take long to surrender Goryeo, and it did not take long for Goryeo to resist again, and it was more ferocious than the original, and this time the Sui Dynasty was defeated.
After Yang Guang knew about it, he said that this time he would beat me fiercely, no need to repay him, and decided that this time he really beat Goryeo to tears, but some people in the country mutinied, resulting in the Sui Emperor having to send troops to quell the rebellion. After the quelling rebellion, Yang Guang still had to fight Goryeo, this time Goryeo really lost, Yang Guang let the King of Goryeo see him, but the King of Goryeo just would not come, Yang Guang was angry and ashamed, ready to attack again, but this time he found that the country's three battles had left the treasury empty, the people were not happy, and had begun a large-scale rebellion, and even he could not change the situation.
For the Sui Emperor, although what he did was very beneficial to future generations, it was of little significance to the reality of the times at that time, and for these things, he hollowed out a country, and even squeezed the people, resulting in the loss of the people's hearts, people with lofty ideals took the lead in rebellion, and the Sui Dynasty was finally destroyed. The above three things are the three major failures of the Sui Emperor, if he is willing to slow down the progress, perhaps things will change greatly, but he is eager to achieve success and ignores the strength of the country, only to take care of his own happiness for a while, resulting in the uprising of thousands of people, and the collapse of the Sui Dynasty. A powerful dynasty collapsed without two generations, which is unique in history, which is why the Sui Emperor is controversial.
