Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty was so ambitious and talented. The energetic and meritorious emperor Yang Guang is simply a saint, how could he become the king of the lost country?

Maybe Yang Guang was too impatient and too proud, and he did good things into bad things.

In the first year of the Great Cause (605), Luoyang, the eastern capital, was repaired, and it took a total of ten months to employ 2 million people per month; In the third year of Daye (607), the Great Wall was repaired, and more than one million yuan was issued; From the first year of Daye to the sixth year of Daye, the Grand Canal was built, with a total of more than 3 million employees.

In the eighth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty built a total of 22 major projects, using a total of 30.12 million manpower.

The total population of the Great Sui Dynasty was 46 million, and more than 30 million people were mobilized in eight years, with an average annual labor force of 4 million, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the total population.

Why is Yang Guang so crazy? In a word, too much to achieve.

10,000 years is too long, seize the day, and I can't wait to run into the prosperous era in one day and create an empire that is unparalleled in the world.

Yang Guang is so crazy, isn't there anyone to dissuade or analyze its pros and cons?

Talented people, too capable people are often proud, Yang Guang probably can't listen to the persuasion of others, and insists on going his own way. If Yang Guang was not in a hurry and impatient, implemented his grand blueprint step by step, sympathized with the people's livelihood, cherished the people's hearts, accepted advice, and made good use of good ministers, the Great Sui Dynasty might be the greatest and most glorious dynasty in Chinese history.

Yang Guang was undoubtedly the most diligent emperor in history......

According to statistics, Yang Guang reigned for 14 years, stayed in Daxing City for less than a year, and spent no more than four years in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and spent the rest of the time cruising around the city. He spent most of his life on the road.

How much energy does it take to do this? There are a few people in history who have been able to do it.

Even if Yang Guang is energetic and he is almost a superman, the people in the world are not supermen after all.

The most criticized opening of the Grand Canal, later generations named him that it was built for him Yang Guang to go down to the south of the Yangtze River. Could it be that Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Great Sui, really traveled to Jiangdu with great fanfare just for fun, for show-off, pomp, and pleasure?

In fact, the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang's trip to Jiangdu was intended to achieve two very important purposes. The first is to appease Jiangnan, and the second is to show off.

Yangzhou is the birthplace of Yang Guang's rise, when he was still a young prince, although he was known as the commander of Hua Chen, it was just a name and did not have much real power.

By the time he returned to Yangzhou, Yang Guang was already the son of the Great Sui who was the son of Longfei and the richest of the world. Therefore, Yangzhou is his blessed land for Yang Guang.

Back then, after Xiang Yu became the overlord of Western Chu, he said: "Wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, such as clothes and brocade at night, who knows?" ”

Although the Great Sui Dynasty destroyed the Southern Chen and Western Liangs, after all, it was once divided, and the people's hearts needed to be further appeased. Besides, the northern clan and the gate lords are powerful, and it is difficult to solve them in a short time. The south is particularly important as Yang Guang's blessed land.

In addition to showing off, Yang Guang also had specific measures, and issued an edict: "Pardon the south of Jianghuai." Yangzhou will be given five years, and the old general manager will be given three years. ”

The so-called "repayment" means to exempt rent. Even the prisoners were exempted from the suffering of detention, and such a good thing was of course praised by all the people.

Others, such as the old room of the Chen Dynasty, "returned to the capital as much as possible, and used it as it pleased", so as to win over the upper echelons of the southern government. Although the Chen Dynasty has fallen, the political influence of the Chen Dynasty nobles has not disappeared. Their political attitude still has great influence on the entire southern region.

The intention of Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui could not be simpler, to appease Jiangnan and stabilize Jiangnan, and to borrow Jiangnan's political power to resist the northern scholars and gate valves.

For others, such as Taoism and Buddhism, Yang Guang also has some measures.

Emperor Yang Guang used economic means to win over the people in the south, political means to win over the southern aristocracy, and cultural means to win over the religious circles in the south. In this way, the south is all supporting Yang Guang's voice. Coupled with the shocking effect brought about by the thousands of ships on the southern tour and the feat of 200,000 people going down to Yangzhou, the image of the Great Sui was erected in Jiangnan at once, and the unstable factors in Jiangnan were immediately eliminated.

Yang Guang has served as the governor of Yangzhou for a long time, and there is a political foundation here.

Lower Yangzhou is a return to the hometown, and more importantly, with the help of this move, it can be said that it has won many birds with one stone.

It cannot but be said that Yang Guang's political wisdom is extremely high, and he also did another thing, that is, he issued an edict to let Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, agree on the public opinion service and honor guard system.

What is the convincing? The so-called public opinion service is the car public opinion crown uniform and various honor guards.

In ancient China, what clothes to wear and what ceremonial guards to use were not random according to preferences, but must reflect etiquette, culture, and hierarchy. However, after a long period of turmoil in the Central Plains, ethnic minorities have taken control of the Central Plains, and many of the original systems have been lost.

Now, the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang went to Yangzhou, and deeply felt that the clothes he wore, the car he sat in, and the honor guards he used could not reflect the civilization of etiquette and music, and he had the atmosphere of the Hu people.

And the south has always regarded itself as orthodox in the Central Plains, and now, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, came to the south with his nondescript outfit, isn't it contemptible?

Therefore, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty traveled to Jiangdu, with the dual political purpose of promoting national prestige and consolidating unification, and it was not just as simple as playing.

Yang Guang is by no means an incompetent emperor or an emperor who is extravagant, it can be said that he is a super-capable emperor.

However, no one is perfect, and a capable person like Yang Guang is accompanied by defects such as pride, inability to listen, and eagerness to get things done, and he is also an idealist. What he has done has exceeded the tolerance of the common people.

It may also be that his luck has come to an end, and he has been unlucky since then, so that he has become the most unlucky and even smelly emperor in history!

It was late at night, the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang lay on the beautiful Empress Xiao and worked hard, his body fell together, a total of more than a dozen ups and downs, the forty-nine-year-old Yang Guang was no longer what he was then, a river of spring water poured into the abyss, Yang Guang was tired and paralyzed on the snow-white chest of Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao, who is in her thirties, is at the peak of her feminine.

It is certain to want to be dissatisfied, but so what, do you blame the emperor for his incompetence?

Even if Empress Xiao is the lord of the six palaces and is unhappy, she can only pretend to be happy in front of the emperor.

The sad expression on Empress Xiao's face was not difficult to see, but a pair of pink arms were soothing Yang Guang's back.

Yang Guangxing was distracted, got up and walked off the bed.

Yang Guang picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, Yang Guang said to Queen Xiao while looking in the mirror: "Who will cut off such a good head?" ”

Empress Xiao was shocked and asked, "Why did Your Majesty say this, it's unlucky!" ”

Yang Guang smiled bitterly and said: "The noble and the lowly are bitter and happy, and if you change it, it will not hurt you!" ”
