Chapter 1: The Rise of the EmpireWe also start with a file: Name: Li Yuan Alias: Ono Yuan Gender: Male Nationality: Xianbei? Han Chinese? Date of birth: The first year of Tianhe of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (566 AD) Date of death: The ninth year of Tang Zhenguan (635 AD) Birthplace: Chang'an, Shaanxi Province: DogEducation: Bachelor degree or aboveHobbies:

Shooting (back then, it was a high-class pastime) Social Relations: Father: Lee? M Mother: Dugu's wife: Dou's son: 22 sons (a little worse than Kangxi's old man) Daughter: 19 Female protagonist's mental journey: 0 years old was born in a senior cadre family in Northern Zhou. At the age of 7, he inherited the Duke of Tang (Duke, from Yipin).

At the age of 18, he married his wife Dou, and it was found that there were three **. From 18 to 52 years old, he worked for the Sui Dynasty. 53-62 years old to be the emperor, grabbing territory.

At the age of 62, he was honorably retired with the honorary title of Emperor Tai. At the age of 71, he died after rescue efforts failed. Born, this child is a little weird! One day in 566 AD, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Chang'an Li? The wife of the M family, Dugu, struggled for several hours...... Finally gave birth to a baby boy.

This is the Li Yuan we are familiar with. Father Lee? m is still very happy to hold Li Yuan's little friend who has something more than his chest (three **), and the other parts are intact, although he is already the father of three sons, but it has always been the wish of the feudal elders to be prosperous and full of children and grandchildren. At that time, there was no family planning policy, and there were fines for having more children. ,…,

Only you can raise it, and no one cares about giving birth to a football team. And Lee? The living standard of the M family, in today's words, belongs to the "second generation of officials", of course, later Li Yuan's family said that they are already the "official N generation".

But most modern historians think that Li Yuan's family is bragging. Although it is difficult to say whether the eight generations of the Li family ancestors were all high-ranking cadres of the state.

But Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, was indeed a fierce man. In the Western Wei Dynasty, the official to the Taiwei (Minister of National Defense, General, one of the Three Princes) and Yuwentai. Duguxin and other eight people are called the "Eight Pillars Country", and the so-called "Eight Pillars Country" means that the entire country depends on these eight people.

Behind these eight people is a military group that has influenced China's history of more than 300 years, known as the "Guanlong Group" in history. Their descendants or subordinates will become masters of history for more than 300 years.

The departure of a loved one, Li Yuan's child lived his childhood without worrying about food and clothing, and a lot of toys. Until he was seven years old, his father died of illness. For a seven-year-old child, the happiest thing is not how many toys there are, not how many delicacies from the mountains and seas that can be eaten every day. Instead, he was able to lie in his father's arms and watch the stars in the sky every night. Li Yuan's child is very sad. He was only seven years old and had no father. ,…,

So he listens to adults very well and is very well-behaved. Because he knows that there is no father to pamper him anymore, he has to be stronger than others, he has to be more sensible than others.

This seems to be the fate of all single-parent children. But it was this kind of fate that allowed him to avoid becoming a gentleman. It was this fate that made him the great cause of founding a dynasty. At this time, Li Yuan was unlucky, but lucky. Because of my father's death.

He inherited the title of Duke of Tang from his father. This is a national meal ticket, only your family still has someone who can be angry. The country is still there, and you can go to the country to eat without a penny. A few years later, Yang Jian, an old relative of the Northern Zhou government, replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty, known as Emperor Wen of Sui.

And Yang Jian's queen Dugu is Li Yuan's aunt.

Dugu saw that his nephew was very cute, so he often took him to the palace to raise him. Emperor Wen of Sui also liked this nephew very much, and soon let him make a thousand cattle to prepare himself and become the emperor's personal bodyguard. Qianniu Beishen originally referred to a very sharp knife.

The thousand cattle of the Sui Dynasty are like the later Jinyi Guard, the Imperial Forest Army. In addition to being the emperor's bodyguard, it is more to act as the emperor's honor guard. Therefore, if you want to become a thousand cows, you must be very handsome, in addition to being handsome, there is another important factor, that is, you must be upright and young, have no criminal record, and have a firm political position. …,

,…,

You think, the emperor's guards, but they want to shoot the emperor. If it weren't for the root and the firm position, when it came to the critical moment, your head shrank and ran away, didn't you hang the emperor there as a target?

Soon after, Emperor Wen of Sui made Li Yuan the assassin of the three states of Qian, Long, and Qi. From this, we can see that Emperor Wen of Sui is deliberately cultivating this nephew.

Because the three states of Qian, Long, and Qi are all near the capital Chang'an, and their strategic position is very important. First, you can let Li Yuan go to the place to experience, and second, you can also supervise Li Yuan.

Li Yuan did not disappoint Emperor Wen of Sui. Although he is young, he is very effective in handling affairs, and his political achievements are very outstanding. A qiē is so beautiful and not good, the wife and children are hot on the kang, and they are also valued by the leaders.

It is not surprising that he can mix with ministerial-level officials like Situ and Taiwei, and retire honorably at the age of fifty or sixty. Then pass the title to his son and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend his old age...... This was what Li Yuan thought at that time. But imagination is imagination after all.

A person changed this qiē. In July 604 A.D., Yang Guang, the heroic and strategic generation of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, died in the Great Treasure Hall after being rescued, and the crown prince Yang Guang ascended the throne for Emperor Yang of Sui.---- ,…,

China began with the establishment of the first dynasty by Xia Qi and ended with the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi. There have been 397 emperors and 162 kings. Among so many emperors, there are only a few who have become Ming monarchs, and they can be counted.

The vast majority of them are faint or inactive. But if we think about it carefully, it seems that these people have become faint monarchs. The emperor is a good profession, and everyone wants to do it, (except for a few stupid ones, such as Comrade Zhu Houzhao). The reason is very simple, being an emperor means money, status, and beauties (with the exception of Wu Zetian and Liu Xin), countless people listen to their orders, and the fate of countless people is in their own hands.

You can wear the most luxurious clothes. Eat the most expensive delicacies of the mountains and seas, live in the most luxurious palace, go wherever you want, play how you want, who is still in the mood to stay in the office and work, and not be passive and slacking off? As a result, countless emperors joined the ranks of the faint monarch one after another and became one of the losers. But who can be the biggest loser?

Comrade Yang Guang's entry into the top three is a matter of certainty. Dad was born and died, and he played all over the conspiracy, and finally laid down such a big fortune, and it was still increasing in value (the national strength of the Sui Dynasty at this time was constantly strong), but he was defeated in more than ten years, several times fast, staggering. Whether people want to or not, Comrade Yang Guang is still the emperor. Although the means are despicable, and they are not necessarily voluntary appointments of the leaders, (many later historians and contemporary scholars believe that Yang Guang killed his father and seized power, and judging from his subsequent actions, it is very likely that he did so). ,…,

Finally, I can no longer look at my father's face and live my life. Do whatever you want. Who dares to stop me? Six months later, in March of the first year of the Great Cause.

Yang Guang ordered Yang Su, Yang Da and Yu Wenkai to build the "East Palace" in Luoyang. In order to satisfy the leaders, Yang Su and others should be heightened here and widened here. Of course, they don't know how to work. A qiē fell on the shoulders of the common people.

So more than one million migrant workers worked overtime, and there was no salary at that time, and at most you were rewarded with a mouthful of food, and if you didn't do well, you might even get a stuffy meal. At the same time, he ordered Emperor Fu Han to levy more than one million people in Henan (south of the Yellow River) and Huaibei counties to dig Tongji Canal. From Xiwan to the ancient water, Luoshui to the Yellow River; Draw the Yellow River from Banzhu and Bianshui to figure it out; From the east of the beam, the Bianshui water is diverted into Surabaya and connected to the Huai River.

He also requisitioned more than 100,000 people in Huainan to dig evil ditches, from Shanyang to Yangzi, and into the Yangtze River. The river is more than 40 steps wide, and poplars and willows are planted on both sides. An official road was also built along the canal, and many post stations were set up, and a palace was built for every two posts, totaling more than 40 do. In August of this year, Yang Guang forcibly toured Jiangdu before the canal was completed. …,

There were thousands of boats, connecting each other for more than 200 miles, Yang Guang's dragon boat set off for 56 days, and the entourage of the boat had just left Luoyang. ,…,

The dragon boat that Yang Guang took was forty-five feet high, fifty feet wide, and two hundred feet long, the whole dragon boat was divided into four layers, the upper floor had the main hall, the inner hall and the east and west courts, and the middle two floors totaled one hundred and sixty rooms, each of which was carved with gold and jade. The ground floor is inhabited by eunuchs and chamberlains. Wherever the fleet went, officials from all counties within a radius of 500 miles came to offer rare treasures, delicacies from the mountains and seas. This parade was already guarded by guards on board. But everyone knows that Comrade Yang Guang is a master who likes to talk about pomp and circumstance, and he feels that the scene is not spectacular enough.

There are too few bodyguards for the emperor to parade, so let's have more! This is an additional 200,000 cavalry escorted on both sides of the strait. Due to the fact that the ships are so large and the channel has not been completely dredged. You have to have some people pulling in front to sail, and these people call them the temple feet.

Yang Guang's dragon boat alone had to be towed forward by 1,000 people with a green silk rope, and the queen's Xiang Yan used 900 people at the foot of the palace, and other concubines, concubines, beauties, nobles and princes and ministers, monks, nuns, Taoists, envoys from various countries, and palace guards all needed to be dragged forward by the foot of the palace, and a total of 80,000 palace feet were used to use a disobedient neighbor Yang Guang of Sui Yang Emperor is a person of great joy (pay attention to this feature)...... I always think that the four provinces will return to obedience and all nations will come to court. What he thinks, and what he does. In May of the fifth year of the Great Cause (609), Emperor Yang began the "Western Tour". ,…,

Of course this is just an excuse, there is nothing fun in the Northwest, except for sand and sand. His purpose was to conquer Tuyuhun and establish the great Sui Wei. Under the powerful offensive of the Sui army, Tuyuhun was of course defeated. The chief Fu Yun only led dozens of horsemen to break out of the encirclement and flee in the wilderness. The Tuyuhun territory fell into the hands of the Great Sui. Yang Guang got rid of Tuyuhun and aimed the spearhead at the Turks.

Because the Turks had been half-crippled by the Sui army during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, coupled with the internal division, they knew that they were not opponents of the Sui Dynasty. As soon as Yang Guang sent him an invitation, Chu Luo Khan came with his wife (Princess Yicheng). The countries of the Western Regions saw that even the big brother Turks had softened, and they all submitted to the court, and sent envoys to meet Emperor Yang of Sui with local products.

For a time, Luoyang City was crowded with people, crowded with envoys and merchants who came to worship. The so-called worship has existed since ancient times, and even more so in powerful and unified dynasties, such as the Han Dynasty before it.

The surrounding countries sent two truckloads of expired fruits in exchange for two truckloads of real money. Naturally happy, the emperor didn't expect his influence to be so great, and there are so many fans in various countries who worship him, so he is naturally happy. And so the tradition has been passed down.

If you want to talk about the countries that come to China to worship, there is one that has to be said, and that is today's North Korea. Korea at this time was called Goryeo. Yang Guang has not forgotten this "old friend". I also sent him an invitation, because the diplomatic relations between the two countries were not very good at this time. ,…,

Yang Guang added a sentence at the end of the invitation, "It's easy to say anything when you come, don't you come?" Think of the consequences yourself! This is intimidation and threat, Yang Guang feels that his face is big enough, and the king of Goryeo will not and dare not refuse.

But the king of Goryeo, Gao Yuan, still refused. In the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign (597), Gao Yuan succeeded to the throne. Due to his youth and vigor, he is not familiar with politics and diplomacy. In the following year, he united with Jianju (now the Ussuri River Valley) and led more than 10,000 people to illegally invade Liaoxi, hoping to grab two pieces of land from the Sui Dynasty. As a result, Wei Chong, the governor of Yingzhou in the Sui Dynasty, was beaten very much.

When Emperor Wen of Sui received the battle report, he felt that he was still angry, so he wanted to teach this disobedient neighbor a lesson. So he ordered Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Wang Shiji to be the marshal of the march. Mobilize 300,000 water and land armies to conquer Goryeo. When Wang Yuanyi of Goryeo heard that the 300,000 people of the Sui army came to conquer him, he was so frightened that he almost fainted, knowing that this time he had married Liang Zi of the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of Sui was really moving.

Immediately went to Emperor Wen of Sui, saying that he had realized the severity of the problem, and that he was acting recklessly, and hoped that the Sui Dynasty would be lenient and have another chance.

The inscription of the table is very interesting, and it is worth mentioning "Liaodong Dung Tuchen Yuan". Because the army was encountering heavy rain for several days, the grain and grass in the rear could not be transported, the army ran out of food, and encountered a plague epidemic. The naval army led by Zhou Luo also encountered strong winds. So this military operation ended in failure. Emperor Wen of Sui saw that Gao Yuan admitted his mistake and had face, so he didn't mention the matter. ,…,

But Gao Yuan has always been worried about this matter, and he has lingering palpitations. So when he received Yang Guang's invitation, he refused without hesitation, and strengthened the fortifications, increased the city defense troops, and prepared to fight to the end. Yang Guang knew that Gao Yuan didn't give himself face, he was very hurt, and the consequences were very strict
