Sui died tangxing, Yang You Zen throne. But a careful reading of the Sui Gong Emperor Yang You's Zen edict is actually very ridiculous. He said, "Heaven has sent a great calamity, my bitter grandfather, who was killed by adulterers in Jiangsu, died so tragically!" Poor me, I became an orphan, crying all the time, and every inch was in chaos. Fortunately, there is also our good Xiangguo, Li Yuan, the King of Tang, who was in danger and was ordered to save the country and save the country, and the princes of the Nine Unions, who won a decisive victory over thousands of miles, protected our People, and commanded Huayi. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to save his life. I was originally an ignorant child, how could I be a good emperor, only effective Fa Yao Shun, abdicate and give way to Xian. Hurry up and pass on my throne to the Tang King, all the civil and military officials must understand my intentions, and no one should come to persuade me, and persuade me not to listen! ”

The original writing is quite good, it is illogical. First of all, a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old child can't write such a thing at all. Secondly, since you have already honored Yang Guang as emperor and sentenced him to death politically, what does it have to do with whether he dies or not, and whether you are an emperor or not? It is better to turn grief into strength. Doing such a thing as an emperor, you can't ask for it, and if you don't want to become an emperor, who will willingly abdicate the throne? Therefore, this edict has only one "fake" word throughout, and it is thought that It is also Ghostwriter for Li Yuan's secretary Wen Daya and others. In particular, at the end of the article, there is also a sentence: All units are not allowed to have any objections, and some are not allowed to report. It seems that being a thief is a failure.

Li Tang's zen is nothing more than a traditional play of false Zen that Wang Mang initiated and usurped, which is far from the sincere Zen of The Yao Shun era. In the past few hundred years of the Wei and Jin dynasties, whenever the dynasty changes, it is necessary to make such a show, and everyone knows it. The Tang Dynasty played this time again, which was considered to be over.

Yang You was the titular last emperor of the Sui Dynasty. He was the grandson of Yang Guang and the third son of the late crown prince Yang Zhao. Yang Guang went down to Jiangnan to find fun and left this mess in Guanzhong to Yang You. The world was in chaos, what could he do, watching Li Yuan take advantage of the void and take down the capital Chang'an in one breath. Li Yuan had his own small abacus, the foundation was not solid, first supported Yang You as emperor, real power in his hands, and he was free to advance and retreat. Yang You had no choice but to be at his mercy, in fact, he was not as comfortable as the original Acting King.

He was the emperor for half a year without embarrassment, and when Yang Guang was killed, the evil gods from Taiyuan finally couldn't sit still. When they slapped the written edict in front of him, Yang You estimated that he didn't even dare to breathe in the atmosphere, this Yao Shun, he didn't want to be right. Thus, this insincere edict became the last trace of his stay in the world.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Yang You was made a duke, and he died the following year, at the age of fifteen. It doesn't matter whether it's a natural death or if it's killed. Being born without freedom is not the same as death. However, compared to his brother-in-law, Yang Tong and Yang Hao are clearly recorded to have been poisoned, and it is possible that Yang You's death is still a little better.

Born in the imperial family, in fact, is not free. Being born as the descendant of a tyrant like Yang Guang is even more unlucky. One person loses his morality and suffers from future generations. In the Yang clan, almost everyone paid for Yang Guang's sins. It is not as good as ordinary people, even if they freeze and starve to death, at least the last breath swallowed is still free air.
