With the continuous tightening of the white silk on the neck, Yang Guang's eyes appeared in front of the former emperor Yang Jian, the former crown prince Yang Yong, the soldiers who conquered Goryeo, the men working along the coast of Beijing and Hangzhou, and his unforgettable scenery of the Jiangdu...... Yang Guang was fortunate to be established by historians as one of the most representative images of the fallen monarch, and his absurd deeds were compiled into a book, as a negative teaching material for later emperors to warn and restrain their behavior, Yang Guang is indeed a very representative figure in the back of Chinese history.

But we look at the history of the division between the north and the south in 273 years before the Sui Dynasty, and we find that the history of nearly 300 years is full of swords and swords, bloody wind and rain, and exterminating races at every turn, always one surname destroys another surname, and even the emperor destroys the original sect, the Northern Wei Tuoba, the Northern Zhou Yuwen, the Northern Qi Gao surname, the Southern Dynasty Xiao Qi, the Southern Dynasty Xiao Liang, the Southern Dynasty Liu Song, which one died well, which one is not a heinous crime to kill the father, slaughter relatives, adulterous mother, kill the son, punish loyalty, and kill without permission, which dynasty change is not a collective beheading or the whole family throws himself into the river, which is tragic, unreasonable, mournful, Extinguish which is not very much more Yang Guang.

Why did Yang Guang, the great Sui who had risen to the level of the country, arouse such great indignation among the historians, and it can only be said that the people who wrote the history of unification suddenly regained their backbone and conscience after a long and dark period of division, and all of them grew into literary scholars with a great sense of justice.

They are good at embellishing and beautifying things that are considered true, good, and beautiful, and they are also good at criticizing and slandering things that they think are false, evil, and ugly.

Let's follow the ideas of the historians and restore what kind of man Yang Guang was who was posthumously called "Emperor Yang" (Yang - Go to the Yuanzhong) by later generations: Yang Guang's mistakes - Yang Guang's "seven deadly sins": the first sin - killing his father.

Yang Guang secretly killed his father Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, which is not a conclusive fact in the history books, the history books only record that Yang Guang sent his henchman Zhang Heng into the palace, Yang Jian "Russian collapse", so all the suspicions point to the biggest beneficiary Yang Guang, which is also regarded by historians as Yang Guang's first major crime, because in their opinion, he can still serve the old and lick the calf, so Yang Guang's behavior of killing his father is simply not as good as **, not to mention that his father is still the emperor, at least the first two outlines of the "Three Guidelines" are violated, and ordinary people only need to commit one is a capital crime. Yang Guang alone accounted for two, and he was simply innocent.

However, it is necessary to remind everyone that it should not be forgotten that such a person who has been denied personality was the dignified prince of the Sui Dynasty before killing the monarch and killing his father, and is the first heir to the throne in the legal sense. Yang Guang has become like two people?

This starts with Yang Guang's complex character, before becoming the crown prince, Yang Guang tried his best to hide his greedy, **, murderous, and extravagant nature, showing a modest, simple, and gentle side, and at the same time, he also continued to drive a wedge between the prince Yang Yong and Yang Jian's father-son relationship, and gradually won the hearts of the emperor's people, and finally deceived the trust of Emperor Wen of Sui, deposed the original prince Yang Yong, and made him the prince.

As he grew older, Yang Guang's desire for the throne became more eager and enthusiastic, at this time Yang Jian also fell ill, just when he was seriously ill, the letter of the powerful minister Yang Suxiu to the crown prince Yang Guang to report the emperor's illness was sent to Emperor Wen of Sui as a mistake, Yang Jian in the illness was naturally trembling with anger, but it happened that at this time Mrs. Ronghua ran in in disheveled clothes to complain to Yang Jian, crying that Yang Guang was inferior to her, Yang Jian did not recognize Yang Guang's jackal nature until this time, and immediately sent a secret edict to the former prince Yang Yong,

wanted to replace Yang Guang with Yang Yong again, but Yang Guang's usual work by Yang Jian's side was not in vain, and almost at the same time, Yang Su spread the news that Yang Jian was going to abolish the crown prince to Yang Guang's ears, and the matter has come to this point, Yang Guang no longer needs to pretend to be a humble gentleman, the mask of hypocrisy has been worn for too long, and Yang Guang finally showed his long-hidden fangs to his sick father. The second sin - the slaughter of brothers. Yang Guang is Yang Jian's second son, and like Yang Jian's eldest son, Prince Yang Yong, he is the son of Queen Dugu of the vinegar jar.

Due to the relationship between the eldest and youngest, Yang Guang is only the second heir in line, and he is not qualified to be the crown prince, if Yang Guang wants to be able to inherit the throne legally, he must first become the prince of the Great Sui, so Yang Yong is the first stumbling block that Yang Guang wants to remove. Except for the differences in character and personality, Yang Guang and Yang Yong have similar relationships and encounters with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Jiancheng, the prince of Tang.

Yang Guang and Li Shimin were also unable to be canonized as the crown prince because they were not the eldest sons of the emperor, and they were also young commanders (Yang Guangwei was the commander to destroy Chen), the first contribution to the founding of the country, and they were also unwilling to be killed as victims of the system of establishing a long line, and they also stepped on the corpse of their brothers to ascend the throne of Jiuzhong, but Yang Guang took his father Yang Jian by the way, and his personal actions were far from being comparable to Li Shimin, so there would be a difference between the two in later generations.

Yang Yong is the most innocent in the whole process of the incident, he was first constantly designed by Yang Guang, and moved out of the East Palace in a daze, every day he either shouted wronged, or climbed the tree to ask to see the emperor, and his outrageous behavior happened to be framed by Yang Su for suffering from mental illness, and he had no chance to see the face of heaven until he died, and he never thought that at this time, he would be asked to commit suicide and be buried with him.

The old man abandoned him before his death, but when he was dying, he could remember him, and asked him to commit suicide with the emperor to travel west, Yang Yong must be thinking about "why can't he provoke and hide", but what can be done, Yang Guang was thinking about boiling his brother when he killed his father.

The third sin - mother. As the saying goes, "A friend's wife can't be bullied", even a woman who has no blood relationship with a friend can't fantasize about herself, let alone a woman who is a son to touch her father, but Yang Guang did it, he not only took advantage of Yang Jian's serious illness to ** Mrs. Ronghua, and let his father see the king of Hades with a big green hat, but also when Yang Jian closed his eyes and his bones were not cold, he found Mrs. Xuanhua, another favorite woman of his father's life, and made a groom for his father firmly, no wonder the historians of the past dynasties wanted to scold him for not being worthy of being a person. The fourth sin is to enslave the people of the world.

Similar to Ying Zheng's recruitment of large-scale labor to build the Great Wall and build mausoleums, Yang Guang's efforts to make the people of the world have multiple purposes and uses, including national engineering construction (the construction of the eastern capital Luoyang and the excavation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal), as well as the need for personal pleasure (dragon boat patrols), and the conscription of foreign wars of aggression (three times against Goryeo).

The construction of Luoyang, the eastern capital, alone, will requisition more than 2 million migrant workers every month, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has also requisitioned more than 1 million laborers (the population at that time was about 30 million, that is, the vast majority of the country's laborers are engaged in labor unrelated to agricultural production all year round), including women with weak labor force. The Fifth Deadly Sin - Three Expeditions to Goryeo.

Now it seems that the direct factor that led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty II was Yang Guang's three wars of aggression, which were only provoked by Yang Guang's impulse to make a name for himself in history in order to earn enough face. At that time, although Goryeo's power expansion gradually increased, and it also frequently harassed the northeastern border, it was far from posing any actual threat to the Sui Dynasty, and the so-called border troubles were all fantasized by Yang Guang's inflated vanity. At the instigation of his great joyful character.

Yang Guang launched a naked invasion of Goryeo three times before and after (612 and 613 twice), but the first two times were defeated, and it was a big defeat, especially the first time was the most tragic, only a few thousand people of the 300,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Yu Wenshu came back alive.

What is even more hateful is that even after the defeat of the Sui Dynasty army in the Third Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, the Sui Dynasty did not get any practical benefits from the victory of the war, but the three wars of aggression exhausted the national capital of the Sui Dynasty and exhausted the people's power of the Sui Dynasty.

For example, if Liaodong dies, what will be injured by cutting off his head". The sixth sin - the waste of state property. If Yang Guang spent a lot of money to build the eastern capital of Luoyang out of strategic considerations, then Yang Guang's three visits to the river capital and amusement everywhere cannot be explained by just greedy for beautiful scenery, Yang Guang's fleet had more than 10,000 ships in just one patrol.

More than 100 kilometers from end to end, the ship is all driven by manpower, only along the coast of Beijing and Hangzhou for the dragon boat to pull the fiber of the sergeant, boatmen reached 80,000 people, including even brightly dressed palace maids, and along the way the state and county are also responsible for the daily expenses of the supply fleet, every place is like a flood beast, the loss caused by it is not less than a rare natural disaster in a century.

As for Yang Guang's whimsical "Eagles Gathering in Chang'an" and "Letting Horses Seek Seeds", they are not enough for Yang Guang at all, and they are difficult for him to recall. All these wasted national wealth and people's property should be enough to dredge and dig a Beijing-Hangzhou Canal connecting the north and south. The seventh sin - pampering the villain.

& Liang Buzheng under Liang Crooked" reflects not only a physical principle, but also expounds a sociological law reflected in the field of politics, imagining that Yang Guang's subordinates can appear Wei Zheng's general ministers are just like Yuanmu begging for fish, those ministers who dare to speak out have already been cleaned up by Yang Guang, and the rest is only panting.
