Although there are records of the death of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty in the history books, it is actually a little vague, only that he was killed by his subordinates, and in fact, Yang Guang's last record is far more interesting than the dry record in the history books.

It is said that after the failure of the reform and the conquest of Goguryeo, Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, has been living a life of drunken dreams and death.

Once when he was swimming in the lake, he accidentally met Chen Houzhu and his concubine Zhang Lihua came to pay respects, in addition to offering his poems, Chen Houzhu also left down and said: "We will meet again soon." ”

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Yang Guang suddenly remembered that Chen Houzhu and Zhang Lihua were no longer in the world.

He opened his eyes and realized that he had experienced a supernatural experience that seemed like a dream.

However, Empress Chen's words left a lingering shadow in his heart.

In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause (618 AD), the world was in turmoil, and Yang Guang, who was living a wandering life in Jiangdu, had no intention of returning north, and planned to move the capital to Danyang County, but at this time the grain in Jiangdu had been eaten up.

Most of the soldiers and troops escorted were Guanzhong people (meaning the villagers in the central part of SX Province, not the people and horses in Guanzhong today), who had been away for too long, and it was inevitable that they would miss their hometown, but the emperor had never intended to return north, so they fled one after another, and it had reached the point where they could not be caught or killed.

At this time, the commander of the unit, Zhao Xingshu, Yang Shilan and others planned a big escape, and told the plan to Yu Wenzhiji, deputy minister of the Ministry of Construction.

Jiyu Wenzhi and suggested that he simply do not do two things, and jointly support his brother: "General Right Tunwei"

(The leader of the forbidden army) Yu Wenhua and when the leader staged a coup d'état to seize the throne, everyone agreed, and Yu Wenhua and although timid, he still agreed to meet them to make an appointment on March 10.

That night, the rebels set fire to the city.

When Yang Guang saw the fire, he asked what had happened.

The "Naoke General" who served as the coup d'état

Pei Hutong lied to him that it was a fire outside the city, and someone had been sent to rescue him (in fact, he wanted to gather troops), but Yang Guang actually believed it.

Before dawn on the 11th, Sima Dejiao, an officer who participated in the mutiny, handed over more than 1,000 troops to Pei Hutong to take over the guard posts at the gates of the palace.

Pei Hutong personally led hundreds of cavalry into the inner hall and expelled the forbidden guards in the hall to leave.

A large number of forbidden troops found that the limelight was not right, and they laid down their weapons and fled.

When Yang Guang heard the news of the mutiny, he hurriedly changed into civilian clothes and tried to escape, but was caught by Linghu Xingda, one of the rebel commanders, and took him to the dormitory.

Everyone launched a criticism meeting and counted Yang Guang's crimes.

Yang Guang's favorite youngest son, Yang Gao, was only 12 years old and cried beside his father.

Pei Hutong felt that he was very annoying, and cut off his head with a knife.

Yang Guang knew that he would not escape death, so he asked to use the poisoned wine he had prepared to kill himself.

But he was refused, so he had to untie his silk scarf and hand it to Linghu Xingda, who used the silk scarf to hang Yang Guang for a year, Yang Guang was just fifty years old.

A large number of imperial relatives were killed.

However, Yang Guang's nephew Yang Hao escaped because of his friendship with Zi Wenzhi and later was set up as a puppet emperor by Yu Wenhua.

Then, Yu Wenhua, who served as the prime minister, and led the crowd to try to return to Xijing Daxing, but at this time the world was already divided, and the warlords on all sides rose, and they did it.

In the second year of Tang Wude (619 AD), Yu Wenhua's troops were defeated by Dou Jiande, the Xia king of the Former Sui Dynasty, near SD.

Yu Wenhua and his two sons were beheaded together.
