King Jin's personal life is also very scrutinized. His frugality was well-known among the kings. When people come to the Jin Palace, they can't see antiquities and treasures, they can't see Xian Ji and beautiful concubines, and they are dressed very plainly. Because there was no time to pay attention to the silk and bamboo, the musical instruments in the palace were covered with a thick layer of dust.

Historical records record: Every time the emperor and the queen sent eunuchs and palace ladies to Yang Guang's mansion to do business, regardless of status, Yang Guang and Concubine Xiao would greet them at the door, "In order to set up delicious food, apply for generous gifts; The servants who come and go are all called benevolent and filial." ("Zizhi Tongjian" volume 179) This kind of political skill, which even every section-level petty bureaucrat is proficient in today, Yang Guang and his wife will of course not leak a drop of water. Although he was far away in Jiangnan, he took the few opportunities to enter Beijing, and used his interpersonal skills and money to build a strong and secret network of interpersonal relationships among the courtiers. Through this network, the praise he received in the south was amplified several times more when it reached Yang Jian's ears. At the top of the imperial government, more and more people began to think that the history of a prince with excellent conditions like Yang Guang was rare. If this prince takes over Yang Jian's class, the Great Sui world will be more secure.

While the praise of Yang Guang continued to be heard in the south, the father-son relationship between Yang Jian and Yang Yong formed a vicious circle. Because he felt that he had fallen out of favor, Yang Yong was in a hurry and made frequent mistakes. He kept sending people to inquire about his father's news and spy on his father's behavior, but because of his carelessness, the spy was actually caught by Emperor Wen of Sui, and Emperor Wen said angrily: "I live in Renshou Palace, which is far away from the East Palace, but there is a small matter around me, and the East Palace will know, and I am very strange for a long time, and I only know what is going on today!" "Because of the beware of the crown prince's usurpation, the emperor increased his guards several times, and he was afraid that it would not be safe to sleep at night, so he actually moved from the apse to the front hall. When things developed to this point, many ministers had a premonition that Yang Yong really had no hope.

Hearing the news, Yang Guang knew that his opportunity had come. He made an excuse, went to Beijing to face the saint, and had a secret conversation with his mother Dugu. In the secret conversation, he said that his eldest brother Yang Yong has somehow frequently found fault with him recently, and even repeatedly threatened to get rid of him. In the previous paragraph, an assassin infiltrated the Jin Palace, and was caught as soon as he jumped into the palace, although he did not spit out despite all the torture, but he guessed that it might be sent by the prince.

Yang Guang knew what effect his words would have. Dugu told Yang Jian what Yang Guang said that night, and pointed out that the child born to Yang Yong and Yun's Yehe was probably not the blood of the Yang family. If Yang Yong succeeds to the throne, the foundation of the Yang family will eventually be passed on to this unknown child......

Yang Jian is one of the few emperors in Chinese history who is afraid of his wife, and the "pillow wind" of the empress is often a typhoon for the imperial government.

In the wild history legends, there is another story that is widely spread. It was created mainly to show Yang Guang's profound scheming, and at the same time cold and ruthless. According to the "Zizhi Tongjian", in the third year after being made the crown prince, the queen Dugu died. The crown prince Yang Guang was grief-stricken in front of the emperor and the palace people, as if he couldn't survive. Behind the scenes, he eats and laughs as usual. Every day, he only eats vegetarian rice on the surface, but in fact he secretly ordered people to take fresh meat and fatty fish and put them in a bamboo tube, seal them with wax, and wrap them in clothes.

Indeed, for the sake of the throne, Yang Guang is scheming. The "pretentiousness" on a certain Cheng dù is one of the essential su zhì of the political zhì family. However, the rumor that "the mother is not sad when she dies" is not common sense in any case. Judging from the existing information and hand-me-down poems, Yang Guang is a very emotional person. In his writings, he expressed his deep affection for his friends and relatives, which was quite moving. What's more, he is Duguhou's favorite child, and the relationship between mother and son is very harmonious, and there has never been a record of disharmony. Yang Guangzhi was made the crown prince, and the role of the "pillow wind" after Dugu was quite crucial. In Yang Jian's later years, suspicion increasingly developed in the direction of **. On the throne of the crown prince who is walking on thin ice, the queen mother is a stronger umbrella than the father. Based on the common sense of the Son of Man, it is impossible for Yang Guang not to grieve at this time, why did he, who has been dressed and eaten since he was a child, suddenly crave big fish and meat at this time?

In fact, after searching the official historical materials such as the Book of Sui, the Northern History, and the Book of Chen, there is no such record. This record in the "Zizhi Tongjian", which is known for its rigor, turned out to be taken from a wild historical novel. Orthodox historians have spared no effort to scandalize Yang Guang to the point of sacrificing the academic level of his writings.

On October 9, the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, in the Wenhua Hall of Changle Palace of the Great Sui Dynasty, the ministers gathered and the atmosphere was strict. Emperor Yang Jian sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, his eldest son Yang Yong kneeling on the left, and his second son Yang Guang kneeling on the right. Behind them, the heads of the black-pressed ministers. Yang Jian was silent for a long time and said, "Xuan! So, Xue Daoheng, the waiter of the inner history standing beside him, read the edict in his hand aloud: [

Yang Guang: Crushed by the great cause, >

Since ancient times, the crown prince has often had untalented people who are not evil, and the emperor often can't bear to dismiss him, so that the sect and society have fallen to the ground. From this point of view, the safety of the world depends on whether the sage of the storage position is related to the great cause of passing on things, isn't it important! The crown prince is brave, has a mediocre character, is benevolent and filial, is close to villains, appoints treacherous and evil people, and does wrong things, which is difficult to describe. The people are the people of the world. Although I love my children, I dare not harm the well-being of the people of the world with my own love, and let Yong turn the world into chaos in the future. If you are brave, you will be abolished as a concubine, and you will be succeeded by your second son!

The ministers all bowed their heads very low, and they knew that the emperor's heart must not be calm if the crown prince who had been cultivated for more than 20 years was abolished. However, deep down, most ministers believed that this day might not be a catastrophic day for the Great Sui Dynasty, but a lucky moment.

The one with the deepest head down was the new crown prince Yang Guang. Although he has always been confident in his luck, Yang Guang has always been apprehensive in his ten years in Jiangnan. After all, challenging the principle of the elder system is the most "disagreeable" thing in the Chinese political tradition. Regardless of whether his reign will succeed in the future, their father and son will be forever blamed by history for "Yi Chu" and "seizing the heir" without "big mistakes". My father would not make this move unless he had to. In fact, for a while, especially after Yang Yong gave birth to a healthy eldest grandson for Yang Jian, Yang Guang had almost given up hope of competing for a position. He had already begun to arrange his own back path, and for a time he was ready to live his life as a deferential prince.

Like several other amazing experiences, at this special moment, his heart was once again filled with gratitude for fate, and this extraordinary wish came true once again for him to feel his mysterious connection to the Divine. When he kowtowed to his father, he was actually making this great gift to heaven. Although he had made enough mental preparations, Yang Guang still didn't expect him to be so excited. Yes, thirty years of life, in fact, just waiting for this moment! The biggest obstacle in his life has finally been lifted, and his future looks so magnificent and alluring. The great sense of happiness made his heart agitate, and he couldn't control himself.

However, the inner turmoil never appeared on his face, and people saw that after becoming the crown prince, Yang Guang became more humble and amiable than before. What the new prince did in the East Palace is in stark contrast to what the former prince did.

Before entering the East Palace, Yang Guang, who is well-versed in classics and history, has summed up the secret of being a prince: the power of the prince is the most unstable power in the world. A wise prince should take the initiative to consider himself a prisoner of the will of the old emperor. He should not be involved in anything that might endanger the imperial power, should not make friends with foreign ministers, should not interfere in the affairs of the state, and should not make any conspicuous and whispering moves. Only extreme caution, courtesy, humility, and even a certain degree of disobedience, falsification, and pretending to be deaf and dumb as lubrication between the prince and the imperial power can prevent the conflict from hurting oneself.

At the crown prince ceremony, in order to show his frugality and humility, he asked to be exempted from wearing the prince's dress similar to the emperor's dress, and asked the officials of the East Palace not to call themselves vassals to the prince in the future. Yang Jian gladly accepted.

After becoming the prince, he lived in the East Palace, taking reading, writing poems, and worshipping Buddha as his business, and acting on his father's face in everything, without crossing the fence. It turned out that the Jiangnan governor who was enthusiastic about political affairs, energetic, and couldn't be idle for a day has suddenly become an idle cloud and wild crane, and he is very good. He was a very devout Buddhist, and he had studied Buddhism and Buddhism deeply, and at this time, he had nowhere to spend his spare time, so he simply calmed down and compiled the twenty volumes of "Lotus Xuanzong". The father, who had become more suspicious and obedient in his later years, was busy killing, slaughtering, deposing, and imprisoning a large number of uneasy ministers, including his fourth brother Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, but he never cast his suspicious eyes on this prince who rested on the Buddha realm and participated in the Xuanxuan enlightenment.

There are few princes throughout the ages who can be more successful than Yang Guang. In fact, since he was sensible, he has been accustomed to the tense and full load of life, and the years in the East Palace seem leisurely on the surface, but in fact this kind of life is the greatest torture for him. In a letter to his best friend, Shi Xiang, a general who was preparing for war on the northern frontier, he inadvertently revealed a trace of his loneliness:

& Accompany Luan...... Prepare for Shaoyang, trembling, such as facing the ice valley. …… More time than the prison country, recuperating in the idle palace, tired of the end of the North Pavilion, and galloping from the South Skin. …… Relatives and friends are far away, the piano and books are lonely, I want to see my sage, and the rash is like a disease. (The Book of Sui?) Biography XXVIII)

However, he just pinned this loneliness in the words, and in front of the old emperor, his expression was always calm and solemn. Yang Guang knows that he has only one task in mind, which is to wait.

The Sui Dynasty was rich and the people were poor, and the Tang and Song dynasties were poor and the people were rich. As an emperor, Yang Guang can be regarded as idealistic, ambitious and capable, but he squeezed the people too hard, otherwise, what would happen to the Li family? Say a few more words, Chongzhen is an emperor with ideals and ambitions, and he lacks ability.

Yang Guang's problem is not that he is mediocre, but that he has done too many things. The emperor only needs to issue a holy decree to do things, but the common people have to contribute money and efforts and even lose their lives. Ordinary people will only be interested in nation-building and territorial expansion if they are well fed and clothed, and at worst, they should make people feel this kind of hope. Many things that Yang Guang has done can be regarded as great achievements, but when he does these things, he does not consider sympathy for the people at all, and just blindly rejoices in his achievements. In this respect, he and Qin Shi Huang's personalities are very similar. The result was the consumption of the people and the achievement of the emperor. Although the vast majority of the people do not have the ability to rebel, once someone takes the lead, the people who angrily break through the upper limit will provide an endless stream of soldiers and logistics for the rebels. Yang Guang speaks by himself, the people do things, and his great achievements are all based on the blood and tears of the people, so that he is sorry for the people, and the people are not sorry for him in the slightest. Why can't Datang enjoy the construction dividends of the Sui Dynasty? This dividend is earned little by little by the people with their own hands and blood and sweat, and the people can accept to whoever they can give this dividend to. Datang can win the support of the people, which shows that Datang, at least the early Tang Dynasty, really values the interests of the people. The common people don't care if you are for the Li family's world or an ordinary people, give me a way to live and let me live in peace, and I will hand over everything to him. Tang Gaozu and Tang Taizong can do this, which is their ability. Don't think that it is a simple matter to lightly pay for the meager endowment and rest the army and support the people, it is already very rare to restrain the emperor's meritorious heart. [Transferred from the iron-blooded community bbs./] Yang Guang has indeed done a lot of things, and future generations cannot ignore his contributions. However, it is his sin to wantonly indulge his own meritorious heart, not think of the people, and concentrate on his great achievements, causing the people's resentment to boil. Especially at the beginning of the world and when people's minds were settled, such actions were even more enemies of the world, which was the fundamental reason for the death of the second Sui Dynasty. As for what is promiscuous, etc., the common people don't care about these things at all, so the so-called truth or falsehood is more of interest to historians, and I personally don't have the heart to make fun of this kind of topic.
