One day in April 2013, a construction site in Yangzhou's Hanjiang District was in full swing. Suddenly, the excavator dug up two ancient tombs. The boss Yang Yong did not dare to delay and hurriedly sent someone to notify the local cultural relics protection department. According to expert research, these two ancient tombs are brick chamber tombs in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties. The epitaph excavated from the tomb on the west side also indicates the identity of the owner of the tomb, he is the Sui Emperor Yang Guang. Because the epitaph impressively wrote "Tombstone of the Late Emperor". Interestingly, more than 1400 years ago, it was Yang Guang, the Sui Emperor, who gave Death to Yang Yong. Is this a coincidence?
Tomb of the Sui Emperor

Yang Guang and Yang Yong were brothers of the same father and mother, their father was The Sui Emperor Yang Jian, and their mother was the Literature Empress Dugu Jialuo. Because Yang Yong was the eldest son of Yang Jian and his wife, he was highly valued. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Yong was appointed as the governor of Luozhou and the governor of Tokyo KozukaZai, who was in charge of the land of Northern Qi. Later, he was recalled to Beijing and took the position of Shangzhu Guo and Grand Sima and was responsible for the defense of the court. After Yang Jian ascended the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yong naturally became the crown prince.
Yang Yong
It may be that life is too smooth, so Yang Yong has become a rectum, talking and doing things are straight forward, I do my own thing. Emperor Wen of Sui and his wife experienced hard times, were low-key, and lived frugally. However, Yang Yong was extravagant, once decorated with a piece of Shu armor, and was criticized by Emperor Wen of Sui. After the winter solstice, the hundred officials met Yang Yong and accepted their congratulations. However, Emperor Wen of Sui was very upset in his heart, believing that the prince was an act of trespassing and forbade the hundred officials to do such acts again.
Emperor Wen of Sui
In order to prevent the crown prince from usurping the throne, Emperor Wen of Sui also transferred all the powerful people in the guards to his side, weakening the defense of the crown prince's Eastern Palace. The people who spoke for the crown prince were suspected by Emperor Wen of Sui of being thieves. In addition to Emperor Wen of Sui, his mother Lonely Garo did not look at Yang Yong well. The specific reason is that Yang Yong was lustful, married a number of concubines, and also spoiled concubines to kill his wife, and died of the princess early in anger.
Solitary Garo is a dynasty queen and a very possessive woman. She did not want to share her husband with other women, so while she was alive, Emperor Wen of Sui did not even have a concubine. Emperor Wen of Sui impulsively favored a palace maid, and was also killed by the lone garo' staff. Therefore, Yang Yong, who is uninhibited, is naturally not welcomed by her. Seeing that his brother did not please his parents, Yang Guang, the King of Jin, began to live.

On the one hand, he pretended to be thrifty and thrifty, and on the other hand, he only favored Xiao Shufei alone, and at the same time flattered Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Dugu. Yang Su, who was sent to supervise Yang Yong, also said bad things about Yang Yong in front of Emperor Wen of Sui every day. Therefore, Yang Yong was demoted to a shuren not long after, and the position of crown prince was ceded to Yang Guang, the king of Jin. But is Yang Guang a good man? Anyone who has read the history books knows that he is just a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Yang Guang stills
During Emperor Wen of Sui's serious illness, Yang Guang began to harass Emperor Wen's Lady Xuanhua. After Lady Xuanhua informed Emperor Wen of this, Emperor Wen of Sui saw Yang Guang's true face. He originally wanted to summon Yang Yong into the palace and restore Yang Yong's position as crown prince. But at this time, yang Guang's people were already inside and outside the palace, and he died that night. After The death of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Guang immediately pretended to be Emperor Wen's edict and gave Yang Yong the death. When Yang Guang ascended the throne as empress, although Yang Yong was posthumously named the Prince of Fangling, none of his heirs could inherit his titles, and all of them were exiled to Jinan. Later, most of Yang Yong's descendants were killed by Yang Guang.
As the saying goes, many unrighteous deeds will kill themselves. During Yang Guang's reign, he was so armed that he caused a rebellion in the world, and eventually he was also killed by Yu Wenhua and the rebels. After Yang Guang's death, he was first secretly buried by Empress Xiao and the palace people under the Liuzhu Hall of Jiangdu Palace. Later, he was reburied by Chen Ling to wu gongtai. After the Tang Dynasty pacified Jiangnan, the Sui Emperor was buried in Leitang with imperial rites. Unexpectedly, after 1400, a real estate developer named Yang Yong dug up his tomb.
