It is said that after the death of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, the successor Emperor Jing of Zhou was young, and Yang Jian, the abbot of the state, regented and held great power in the dynasty. Subsequently, Wei Chiyi and others rebelled, and as a result, they were all suppressed by Yang Jian.
The "last emperor" Zhou Jingdi saw that the general trend had gone, and thought of a key word - Zen Rang.
Zen Rang, for Emperor Zhou Jingdi, was no way to do it, he understood that if he wanted to survive in prison, Chan Rang was the only choice. Of course, before Zen Rang, Emperor Jingdi zhou also did one thing, a practical thing, a big practical thing to test Yang Jian's ambitions.
In December 580, Emperor Jing of Zhou "appointed" Yang Jian, the chancellor, as Xiangguo and Jin as king of Sui, and gave him supreme powers: to rule over hundreds of officials and to be prime ministers and state affairs. In order to make the play more realistic, he also "prepared the Gift of Nine Tins" to invite Yang Jian to take office.
At this time, all "thief of the country" will choose to retreat into humility. Yang Jian was a wise man, and naturally he was no exception, and he politely refused on the grounds of "not daring to be", saying that he could only accept the title of king. Yang Jianqian gave in, and Emperor Jing of Zhou insisted, and after a few rounds, Yang Jian finally "had to" accept the title of Xiangguo.
Emperor Jingdi Zhou was a wise man, and of course he knew that Yang Jian's ambition was not just "Xiangguo", the ultimate goal was "Emperor". He no longer knows how to zen, and what awaits him will be Yang Jian's "impulsive punishment" of one day.
In February 581, on a day when the wind and sun were shining brightly, Emperor Jingdi of Zhou gave a public speech expressing two meanings:
The first is to say that he is young and is not competent for the emperor's highly skilled work.
The second is to indicate that Yang Jian was born to be the material for the emperor.
Surprisingly, for Zhou Jingdi's remarks, the first person to stand up against it was Yang Jian. He said that he was talentless and virtuous, but the most popular was already a miracle, and he really did not have the ability to let him become emperor.
Of course, Emperor Zhou Jingdi had to do "ideological work" again, and then the two of them staged a good show of pushing and shoving again. Finally, Yang Jian issued a concluding statement, first affirming and praising the selfless Zen spirit of Emperor Jing of Zhou, then saying that the emperor himself was resolutely unable to be, and finally saying that he could temporarily be the king of suiguo.
Of course, the king of his country was actually not much different from the emperor of Northern Zhou, and the treatment of eating, drinking, and all welfare was the same as that of the emperor.
Yang Jian was not the emperor for a day, and Emperor Jing of Zhou could not be at peace for a day. He gave full play to the fine traditional style of not being discouraged and not discouraged, and immediately gave a second public speech. Although the argument is still the same cliché, the content of the speech is more affectionate and moving, and the closing remark is even more shocking: If you (Yang Jian) do not accept it, I will die in front of you.
Seeing that such a disturbance was about to cause a human life, Yang Jian finally changed his mind and tearfully said that he would temporarily act as the emperor and wait until he found a suitable candidate to change the sage.
Zhou Jingdi was waiting for Yang Jian's words, although the most hated thing in his heart was also this sentence, but in the face of fate, he had no choice. Subsequently, he personally wrote the edict of abdication, ordered Taifu and Qigong Yuwen Chun to serve the edict, and Emperor Taizong's uncle Zhao Ju to serve the seal and hand it over to Yang Jian.
This time, Yang Jian did not put on another show and unceremoniously took over the edict and the jade seal. The people draped the yellow robes that had been prepared on him, and a new emperor, a new dynasty, a new era, a new history was born.
The year was 581 AD, the name of this dynasty was called Sui Dynasty, and Yang Jian was the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Jingdi of Zhou originally thought that his "Zen Concession" of the High Wind and Bright Festival would definitely move Yang Jian, so as to save his life and enable him to spend the rest of his life in peace and stability. However, it turns out that this is just his wishful thinking, he thinks too beautifully, but he dies too tragically.
In February Zen ceded the throne, and in May he died inexplicably. It is said that there are many causes of death, some people say that they died of nameless swelling and poison, some people said that they died of violent disease, some people said that they died of depression and depression, and some people said that they died after seeing through the red dust... In short, the death is unknown and not white, and the death is thin and confused.
