In ancient China, there were roughly six emperors with the title of "Jiao", and the most well-known to us were Chen Shubao, the lord of southern Chen, and Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui Dynasty. But the most ironic thing is that the Sui Emperor set the word "炀" for Chen Hou, and in the end, it also became his own nickname.
The ancient "Tanfa" explained "炀" as follows: "Good inner and far away rituals are known as "chiong" and "good inside and far away from the people", "against the heavens and the people are known as jiao", "good and great government" is known as jiao, and the widowhood and widowhood are known as jiao, and the country that is far away from germany is known as jiao." As far as the coffin is concerned, the title of these two people is indeed "jiao", which is indeed appropriate.
To be fair, Yang Guang, who was also the "Emperor Of Ju", looked down on Chen Shubao.
The Sui Dynasty Emperor opened the imperial examination, built the canal, and conquered Goryeo, and judging from the results he wanted to achieve, everything was a matter of immeasurable merit. Most importantly, two men fight, and the winner has a crushing voice against the loser.
When Chen Shubao wrapped his arms around his favorite concubine Zhang Lihua in the Linchun Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, singing the "Flowers of the Backyard of the Jade Tree" that he had filled in, it was Yang Guang, the 20-year-old King of Jin, who led an army of 500,000 people to cross the Yangtze River, forced Chen Shubao to hide in a dry well, killed his favorite concubine Zhang Lihua, and achieved the hegemony of the Sui Dynasty to unify the world.
However, it was this person who had a very high self-esteem and despised Chen Shubao the most, but he also became the most hated look he hated. In the end, he ended up with the same fate as Chen Shubao--not only was he nicknamed "炀", but he was also captured by foreign ministers when he was enjoying the sound and color of dogs and horses.
Whether the Sui Emperor admitted it or not, he and Chen Shubao were similar in many places.
On the poetry and song endowment, both of them have a solid foundation.
It is said that the Sui Dynasty Emperor saw Chen Hou lord's "Spring River Flower Moon Night" singing the great river north and south, not to be left behind, also composed a "Spring River Flower Moon Night", which should be Yang Guang's work better, because Chen Hou Lord's lyrics have been lost, and Yang Guang's poems are still there.
Twilight does not move,
Spring flowers are in full bloom.
The flow waves will go to the moon,
The tide brings the stars.
This song "Spring River Flower Moon Night", fresh and loose, sweeps away the vulgarity, and lays a solid foundation for Zhang Ruoxuan's creation of "Spring River Flower Moon Night" that "overwhelms the whole Tang With a single piece".
On the topic of extravagance and lasciviousness, the two are also equal.
After Lord Chen took the throne, the Sui Dynasty had unified the north, although the world was in chaos, but he was proud of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, "playing tricks and indulging in wine, writing poetry without quitting", and built a large palace, living in luxury, traveling day and night with concubines and courtiers, and making beautiful words. Pampering the beautiful woman Zhang Lihua, when the dynasty was approaching, hundreds of officials played things, and let Zhang Lihua sit on her lap or hold her in her arms, and decided on the world's major events together, and the government was extremely corrupt.
Yang Guang relied on the accumulation of his father Emperor Wen of Sui during his reign, for the sake of the harem beauty, he was able to overhaul the palace garden; build a dragon boat to dredge the canal, take the six palaces to the south of the river to see the scenery; he even put the last time in Yangzhou, next to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that was destined to make him famous in history, the slightly drunk warm wind, the luxurious palace, such as the beauty of the clouds, Yang Guang lived every day, more than a hundred days without repeating.
In terms of governing the country, both of them became the kings of the country.
Lord Chen Hou himself did not have the consciousness of being a king, and should not have assumed the responsibility of an emperor. During his reign, he ignored the government and punished him indiscriminately, and after ascending the throne and taking away his brother Chen Shujian, an opponent, he appointed a traitorous villain, and kept a large number of literary favorites, obsessed with those thick words and beautiful songs, and above the court, a miasma of black smoke.
The Sui Dynasty Emperor may have been too hard to come to the throne, disguised too long and too hard, after ascending the throne, he was born by nature, building a palace, digging canals, building the Great Wall, levying high taxes, levying Goryeo and great Turks, during his 14 years of reign, he was very happy, completely disregarding the people's lives and deaths, the people did not talk about life, and the result was that smoke was everywhere, and he was also in a different place.
The only difference may be the ending of the two.
After Lord Chen Hou entered sui, he continued to have no heart and no lungs, did not take the pain of subjugation of the country and the hatred of killing his wife to heart, still indulged in sound and color every day, and also asked Emperor Wen of Sui for an official position, and lived in peace with Emperor Wen of Sui, a decisive person, for a full sixteen years, and lived the second half of his life freely.
The Sui Emperor had a sobriety far beyond that of Lord Chen Hou. Knowing that he didn't have much time, on countless drunken nights, he would also stroke the head of the person on the neck and say sadly, "Who will cut this head?" "When the mutiny came, he knew that his sins were so great that he asked only for a whole corpse to preserve his last decency, and finally, a white exercise ended his life.
History is rolling, the former sword and light sword shadow, drum horn Zhengrong has long dimmed the sound and shadow, whether it is Chen Hou Lord or the Sui Emperor, has long withdrawn from the historical stage, leaving only the right and wrong to comment on the future generations.
Among the ancient satirical poems of the past, Li Shangyin's "Sui Palace" has a unique style:
Purple Spring Palace Lock Smoke Xia,
He wanted to take Wucheng as the emperor's family.
The jade seal does not return to the sun angle,
Jinfan should be to the end of the world.
Now the rotten grass has no fire,
There are twilight crows in the final ancient yang.
If the underground is the Lord of Chen Hou,
It is advisable to ask the backyard flowers again.
Yes, if the two really meet underground, why not ask the backyard flowers again?
