After the construction of the eastern capital to quell the rebellion of the Han king Yang Liang, Emperor Yang of Sui issued an edict to build the eastern capital: "Luoyi has been the capital since ancient times, controlling three rivers, consolidating four stops, water and land communication, tribute, etc.

Today, the king of Han forgave and rebelled, and the poison was poisoned by Shandong, so that the state and county may be reduced to a place. This is suspended far away from the Guan River, the soldiers do not go to the urgency, the situation is far away from the south, and the Eastern Xia (the old land of the Northern Qi Dynasty) is great, because the opportunity is smooth, and now is also the time. "In March of the first year of the Great Cause (605 AD), Yang Su, Yang Da, Yu Wenkai and others were sent to build Tokyo, and 2 million Zhuangding were sent every month to relocate the residents of Luozhou City and tens of thousands of wealthy merchants from various states to enrich Tokyo.

At the same time, Yu Wenkai and Feng Deyi and others built Xianren Palace, which connected Fujian in the south and crossed Luoshui in the north, and requisitioned strange materials and stones south of the river and north of Wuling to Luoyang; He also searched for different grasses, rare birds and beasts in the sea, and used them to enrich the royal garden. In May, the West Garden was built, with a radius of 200 miles, and there was a sea in the garden, with a circumference of more than 10 miles.

The sea builds Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou sacred mountains, the mountain is more than 100 feet above the water surface, the Taiguan Palace, scattered on the mountain, like a fairyland.

There is a dragon scale canal in the north of the garden, which meanders into the sea. Sixteen courtyards were built along the dragon scale canal, the courtyard gate is adjacent to the canal, and the hall and building view in the courtyard are extremely gorgeous. In the first month of the second year of the Great Cause, the construction of Tokyo New Town was completed. But Emperor Yang of Sui only came here occasionally.

However, Luoyang is strategically and economically important. In the fifth year of the Great Cause, Tokyo was changed to the Eastern Capital. If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit.

——When digging the Grand Canal Emperor Wen of Sui, because the Wei River is sandy, the river water is uncertain, and the Ding service of Caoyun is deeply suffering, in June of the fourth year of the emperor's reign, he ordered the prince Zuo Shuzi Yu Wenkai to lead the migrant workers to dig the channel, lead the Weishui, from the new capital Daxing City to the east to Tongguan, a total of more than 300 li, called "Guangtong Canal". to facilitate transportation and trade. In March of the first year of the Great Cause (607 AD), more than 1 million people from Henan and Huaibei counties were levied to open up the Tongji Canal.

From Xiyuan to the Yellow River, the Yellow River water is diverted from Banzhu through Xingze into Bianshui, and from the east of Daliang to Surabaya to Huai River. More than 100,000 people from Huainan were requisitioned, and a ditch was dug from Shanyang to Yangzi into the Yangtze River. The Tongji Canal is forty steps wide, and there are royal roads on both sides of the canal, and willow trees are planted. From Chang'an to Jiangdu, more than 40 palaces are set up.

Sent Huangmen squire Wang Hong and others to the south of the Yangtze River to build tens of thousands of dragon boats and various boats. The officials in Tokyo supervised the project harshly and urgently, and four out of ten of the strong men died in the car, east to Chenggao, north to Hayang, facing each other. ”

In the first month of the fourth year of the Great Cause, an edict was issued to levy more than 1 million troops north of the Yellow River to dig the Yongji Canal, divert Qinshui to the south to the Yellow River, and to the north to Zhuo County. There were not enough men, and women were enslaved.

In the sixth year of the great cause, the Jiangnan River was excavated, from Jingkou to Yuhang, more than 800 miles long, more than 10 zhang wide, so that it can pass the dragon boat, and set up a post palace and a temporary stop along the coast. So far, the Grand Canal is south from Yuhang, through Jiangdu and Luoyang, and north to Zhuo County, and the north and south are united.

Coupled with the Guangtong Canal opened during the reign of Emperor Wen, water transportation can reach Guanzhong. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty toured Jiangdu three times in the first year, the sixth year of the Great Cause, and the twelfth year of the Great Cause, and each time he took a dragon boat. The dragon boat has four floors, is 45 feet high and 200 feet long.

The uppermost floor of the dragon boat is the main hall, the inner hall, and the east and west courts; The middle two floors have one hundred and twenty rooms, decorated with gold and jade; The lower floor was where the courtiers lived. Although the Xiang boat that Queen Xiao rode was smaller, the decoration was no different.

In addition, there are nine floating boats, three floors, all of which are water palaces. There are also thousands of ships such as Yangcai, Vermilion Bird, Cangyan, White Tiger, Xuanwu, Feiyu, Qingzhu, Lingbo, Fifth Floor, Dojo, Xuantan, Board, Huangfu, etc., for **, kings, princesses, officials, monks and nuns, Taoist priests, and Fanke, and load the items offered inside and outside the court.

There are more than 80,000 people who pull boats, of which more than 9,000 people are above Bangyangcai, called the foot of the palace, and they all wear robes made of brocade.

There are also thousands of ships such as Pingcheng, Qinglong, Ship, Ship, Eight Wings, and Boat Boats for the twelve guards to ride, and they are loaded with weapons and tents, which are held by the soldiers themselves. The boats and boats are connected for more than 200 miles, the lights shine on the rivers and land, and the cavalry escorts the march on both banks, waving flags to cover the wilderness.

The states and counties through which the procession passed were to offer food within 500 miles. A state with many should offer a hundred carts of food, and make the most of the curiosities of land and water; I can't finish eating too much, so when I set off, I throw away the food and bury it.

Later, the crown prince Yang Zhao came from Chang'an to meet Emperor Yang and returned to Chang'an a few months later. He wanted to stay for a while, but Emperor Yang didn't allow it, Yang Zhao knelt down and begged countless times, he was already very fat, so he got sick, and Yang Zhao died.

Emperor Yang cried a few times, ** for music, and for singing prostitutes, it was no different from weekdays. In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, the newly made dragon boat in Jiangdu was completed and sent to the Eastern Capital. Yuwenshu persuaded Emperor Yang to tour Jiangdu, and Zhao Cai, the general of the right guard, dissuaded him: "Today, the people are tired, the treasury is empty, the thieves are swarming, and the ban will not work. ”

Emperor Yang was furious and handed over Zhao Cai to the officials for treatment, and after ten days, Emperor Yang calmed down his anger. The ministers in the court didn't want Emperor Yang to travel, but there was no one who dared to admonish him.

Jianjie Wei Ren Zong wrote a letter of great persuasion, and was killed with a rod in the court on the same day. Leaving Yang Tong, the king of Yue, Duan Da, the doctor of Guanglu, Yuan Wendu, the secretary of the Taifu Qing, Wei Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the general of the right Wuwei, Huangfu Wuyi, and the right Shilang Lu Chu and others were jointly responsible for the affairs of staying in the eastern capital.

On the grounds that thieves were flooding the country, Emperor Yang was furious and first took off Cui Minxiang's chin and then put him to death.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty arrived in Bishui, and after believing in Lang Wang Airen, he asked Emperor Yang to return to Xijing, and Emperor Yang killed Wang Airen and continued to travel south. When he arrived in Liang County, someone in Liang County stopped the car halfway and wrote a book: "If you are fortunate enough to be in Jiangdu, the world is not your Majesty!" Emperor Yang killed the scholar again. After that, no one dared to admonish again.

Before leaving, Emperor Yang of Sui said goodbye to the palace people with a poem: "My dream of the river is good, and the conquest of Liao is also accidental." But the color is there, and the parting is only this year. ”

However, Emperor Yang of Sui went to Jiangdu but never came back. 1400 years ago, the Sui central government built the earliest and longest artificial canal.

Emperor Yang of Sui died, taking his Sui dynasty with him. Behind him, there is the world-famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Zhenguan, Qingming Shanghe, and the more bastard Kangqian... Which small court is not stepping on Yang Guang's bones and prospering?

For more than 1,000 years, the descendants of Yan and Huang, who were heavy on business and light business, did not wade through the Grand Canal in which dynasty and which generation did not wade on the Grand Canal, and only then did they have the later Jin, Zheng, Suzhou, Zhejiang... Only then does today's Bohai and Yangtze River Delta have a rich economy... History is like a villain who specializes in flattery, just praising the heirs of the emperor, and will only welcome which bastard clan will pass on the throne for hundreds of years.

The glory of the world is the glory of the Chinese nation! The ass of the Yehnara clan is the face of the Qing Empire! And Yang Guang can't, being the emperor in China has to be like a housekeeper, and he has to think about passing the position to the dog.

It's all dogs, except for me! Unfortunately, Yang Guang is not disgraced. Becoming a king or losing, always a gentleman can't fight a villain, what's wrong with Liu San? Isn't there a whole Liu Che in the back?

Every year, in addition to the bones of the war, there is a great Han hero, and there is a 200-year-old country surnamed Liu who has entered the Han family! In addition to the conquest, the wolf smoke, and the bloody Great Wall, what did the Qin Emperor and Han warriors leave us?

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty felt the richness of the irrigation of Dujiangyan in the eastern Sichuan Plain, and as an emperor, he went to engage in some political performance projects, which made the country unsafe and cost Qingqing's life! History is a vicious dog, it's too easy to bite Emperor Yang of Sui who stepped down! Good thing the Grand Canal is there! For the benefit of future generations, the merit covers thousands of years. There is no one before and no one after! Who is qualified to comment on Emperor Yang of Sui?

Emperor Yang of Sui, you are ashamed of the Chinese nation!!

It is very difficult to portray the character of this man known in history as Emperor Yang of Sui, and apart from a few vague feelings, one cannot expect to know more about the actual situation of this person behind the vast amount of altered history and legends that concentrate on him as the classical "last faint monarch".

Historical documents contrast Emperor Wen's prudence and frugality with Emperor Yang's debauchery and profligacy, but as can be seen from the section below on the construction of the Eastern Capital and the completion of the canal system, this stark contrast is exaggerated.

Folk literature portrays Emperor Yang as a promiscuous man who indulges in femininity in all sorts of whimsical ways.

But one will find that even a hostile historian cannot hide the fact that his wife, an intelligent and cultured woman, was never neglected by him and replaced by other favorite concubines of the palace, and that she was always respected and apparently favored.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was, after all, a connoisseur of beautiful things, an accomplished poet and a stylized essayist, who may have been a bit like a political aesthete, a characteristic that can be expressed in the following language: "Indeed, self-deception may be a rule, for the political personality with a strong artistic component has a conspicuous imagination that can make its personal history dramatic and subordinate a qiē reality to ambitious plans." ”

Indeed, he inherited a unified and prosperous empire from his diligent father. He planned to expand the territory and influence of the empire by force and put it into action. But these dreams and expeditions of his were neither fanciful nor unprecedented.

Rather, they complemented the model of the Han Empire that his father had already emulated and that he himself had managed to accomplish. It was only because of the catastrophic failure of his last adventurous operation, his past, which gave a terrifying image, that the entire history of his reign was distorted.

When we examine his political style and his senior officials and close advisers, we may be able to see more of his complex character.

We should first note that Empress Xiao, although she was obviously his confidant, did not play an active political role like his mother. Confucian historians are indeed harsh in their assessment of Emperor Yang's morality, because they portray him as a formidable and typical "last faint monarch".

In folklore, plays, and stories, his image is greatly distorted by the whimsical whims of the author and the audience – an emotional resonance that can only be produced by the people living in a world of unbridled use of power, luxurious palaces, and unlimited pleasures.

He was by no means the worst of the Chinese emperors, and judging by his background at the time, he was no more tyrannical than the other emperors. He was a man of great talent and a good fit to build on the great work that his father had started, and he had that ambition when he began his reign.

But he hoped that history would affirm his reign and his pursuit of luxury and magnificence, which prevented his judgment from being brought into play.

A kind of extravagance and lasciviousness can only make a flatterer gain power, and there is such a group of people around him, which is fatal to him.

The expedition to Goryeo - the purpose of this attempt, I believe reasonable, even if it is traditional - with each defeat, it fascinated him more and more, and fascination was often fatal to the ** monarch with the highest power and the people he ruled.

Despite this tragic catastrophe and the ensuing period of civil war, the reunification of China by the Sui after the longest period of division was a remarkable achievement.

The Sui dynasty eliminated the outdated and inefficient systems of its predecessors, created a centralized imperial structure, and developed a common cultural consciousness in the regions that had long been divided by government, which was no less remarkable.

One cannot fail to see the achievements of the Sui Dynasty in all its aspects when studying the structure and any aspect of life of the great Tang Empire that followed, and its achievements are certainly one of the most striking in Chinese history.
