People block killing, and Buddhas block killing Buddhas. In fact, the image of Yang Guang in history is quite different. Some people think that he has made great contributions to the Chinese nation, such as building the Eastern Capital, the Great Wall, the canal, Tuguhun, the Turks, and the Goryeo. However, this is just the view of modern people, and they did not see it that way from the perspective of the people of the time.

History has its own unique trajectory of development, and the accidental factors that seem to be inevitable are dominant, but we must see the inevitable factors in the accident. A poem by the late Tang Dynasty poet Pi Rixiu "Bianhe Nostalgia" can tell the mystery.

As far as the Sui Dynasty died, it was a river, and it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no water temple dragon boat thing, there is not much merit in Gongyu? The Sui Dynasty went to the point of no return under the wise leadership of Comrade Yang Guang. That's one word, toss, toss desperately.

Don't talk nonsense, just listen to it. With the recuperation and continuous development of the Yangtze River basin for nearly 300 years, the number of land, households and population has increased greatly, and the economy and culture have also developed by leaps and bounds. In the eyes of these southerners, although the Great Sui Dynasty unified China, these Guanlong military aristocratic groups were at best a legitimate murderous group.

These people all came from the culturally backward barbaric land (the generals and military groups of Wuchuan Military Town), their culture was barren, and they didn't understand the teachings of the saints.

In the eyes of the literati doctors and the high-ranking families in the Yangtze River Valley, they looked down on the nouveau riche in power in the imperial court. So this conflict between the North and the South has historical roots. Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, has a personal experience of this. He led his army to destroy Chen in 589. The unification of the empire was solved with a fist.

& year, these old people of the Southern Dynasty rebelled again. Yang Guang, who was still the king of Jin at that time, used both carrots and sticks. It is only by applying both soft and hard that it can be done thoroughly. Later, during his ten years as the governor of Yangzhou, Tong Guò gained a deeper understanding of the thinking habits, customs, and cultural policies of the southerners.

From this point of view, although Gao Xi is super capable, he is an old minister. Mixed on the road, he is still very tender. This guy suffers from political infantile disease, and it's not light. He is diligent and conscientious, has excellent ability, and takes the overall situation into account.

He made great contributions to the empire in revising the laws of the Great Sui, employing backward talents (recommending Yang Su, Su Wei, He Ruobi, Han Baohu, etc.), building Daxing City, quelling the rebellion in Chen, conquering Goryeo in the east, and attacking the Turks in the north. You don't believe me in this vernacular, but I'm going to give you a heavyweight.

Mr. Du You, who revised the "General Dictionary", compared Gao Xi with the famous ministers Guan Zhong and Shang Ying in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The later Tang Taizong Dynasty monarchs and ministers were unanimous and did not hesitate to give this brother endless praise and praise. It can be seen that this person is really a talent. But as a politician, he is naïve and sad.

Naivety is that you can't see the shape clearly and do it wisely. The sad thing is that the leader of his stall is Yang Guang, a stubborn and conceited king. It is faced with the current system of the Great Sui. He was powerless to shake it, and his heart was especially unwilling. Character determines destiny.

Let's take an example. In this example, Gao Xi is of course the protagonist, and there are two supporting roles. One is Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and the other is Pei Yun, the representative of the imperial historian in the later Emperor Yang period. said that Pei Yun was originally an undercover agent of Da Sui when he destroyed the Chen Dynasty. Played Infernal Affairs.

What's the matter? said that Pei Yun was an official in the Chen Dynasty at that time, but his father was an official in the Sui Dynasty in the north. I saw Chen Chao ** to the top. Centrifuge up and down. Comrade Xiao Pei took the initiative to give Yang Jian a table and expressed his willingness to "respond internally".

He must have provided a lot of information and intelligence for Chen. Wait until Chen is destroyed. Yang Jian found this undercover agent while looking through the list of former ministers of the Chen Dynasty. Direct promotion. The official position given to Xiao Pei first was "Yitong".

This belongs to the middle rank of the loose official, but the left servant next to him can't see it. Lean over and make a sound. gave advice to the emperor, saying that Pei Yun had no merit in the country. You should not be given a higher rank than ordinary people.

What is Yang Jian's reaction? There was no squeak, but the emperor responded to the tall man with his actions. directly added a "Shang" to Pei Yun before "Yitong", which became "Shangyitong". The emperor's meaning is very clear, this is actually to give you face as prime minister and not refute you, but in fact, he is dissatisfied with your attitude and ultra viress behavior.

Shouldn't this high temperature be retreated? If it stops, it's not high. Gao Xi still couldn't figure it out, "reprimand".

The emperor still did not squeak and continued to show his attitude with his actions. These two guys are pinched. Continue to add in front of "Shangyi Tong", and add the word "Kaifu". This is unbelievable, because the opening of the government is equivalent to a high-ranking civil servant.

This Pei Yun couldn't imagine that he was originally unknown. Just because the monarchy and the prime minister are pinching each other, their official positions are rushing upwards.

& Chen Ping, who read the well-dressed people in the south of the Yangtze River, is second to Yun, and thinks that he has a heart of directionality, and he is the same as the gift. The left servant shot Gao Gong and did not understand the decree, and said: "Pei Yun has no merit to the country, and he is more than a generation, and the minister has not seen it." ”

On the top and add the same Yitong, Gong Fu admonished, and said: "You can add the mansion." "Gong Nai didn't dare to reply, and he worshiped the three divisions of the opening ceremony on the same day, and gave the gift." The "increase in officials" incident illustrates at least three points:

The "official" incident illustrates at least three points: a high night in the public for the sake of the development of the collective and the empire. Second, Gao Xi only ponders things, not people. Sangaoxi's specialty is in handling state affairs, and between the court and colleagues, he is very different in handling relationships.

Character determines destiny. His end was predestined, it was only a matter of time. Those things of the Northern Tour (7) The 26th day of the seventh month of the third year of the Great Cause (607 A.D.). A sunny morning.

Emperor Yang Guang ordered: Taichangqing Gao Xi, Shangshu Yu Wenbi of the Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Doctor He Ruobi, Zuo Servant Su Wei and others were taken down for being good at discussing the government and confusing the public. The Five Flowers Binding came to the emperor.

Looking at these brothers, the emperor was very emotional. These are all old ministers and ministers who have made too many contributions to the empire. This brother also looked up at Comrade Yang Guang, who represented the highest power in the empire.

Facing this young emperor who was a generation younger than themselves, they were also very emotional. This used to be their commander, and they once crossed the Yangtze River together with a majestic and high-spirited sword, sang the national anthem of the Great Sui, and led an army of 500,000 to the south to destroy Chen. Comradeship. Carrying a gun together, sleeping together, and sharing the spoils together, it's almost like prostituting together.

Hehe, just kidding. They had supported Yang Guang so much, they had trusted the emperor so much, and they had felt so honored and proud to be subjects of the Great Sui. Now, all of them have become floating clouds. The current emperor is very close to them, though. A stone's throw away. But they felt like they had never felt like they had ever been.

The sun will still rise tomorrow without any suspense. But they couldn't see it anymore. The emperor is meditating, waiting.

Waiting for them to kowtow and wail, and admit defeat. Then he waved his hand in the echo of the other ministers, and dismissed them from office and went home to finish the work.

They were able to save their lives. And the emperor satisfied his own vanity. Got face and experienced the intimidation of imperial power again. The big guys take what they need, and everyone is happy. But the scene that the emperor was expecting did not happen.

Arrived at a new unit, a new position. Pei Yun continued to use his ingenuity. Immediately hand a fold up. Mention a built yì. Pei Yun believes that there are many cases of missing household registration and fraudulent registration in the civil register and household registration.

For example, someone is 50 years old, and he tells the local government that he is 60. According to the law, this exempts the State from paying taxes and avoiding military service. At that time, there was no computer network and a second-generation ID card, so it was not easy to carry out this verification work.

What should I do? The ancients were also wise. There is a way to do this: appearance. Name implies. Tong guò looks at your appearance to determine your age. This in turn determines whether you should pay taxes and serve in the military. This guy is actually 30 years old, and because he usually has good maintenance, he looks like a >

After a look-up, it was determined that you were 18 and did not qualify as a man, so you were exempted from military service due to the taxes of the state.

On the other hand, if you are 50 years old, you look old, and your appearance is 60, which exceeds the qualification of Ding men, and you may also be exempted from tax and military service. This is called appearance. As soon as Pei Yun came up, he carried out a large-scale appearance reading, and asked the emperor to check his appearance to check the old and young.

And the appearance of the reading is directly linked to the performance appraisal of local officials, if it is found that the situation of a person in the local area is not true, then the official in charge will be directly laid off. At the same time, the people are also encouraged to report and picket each other, and if the people report a strong man, they will order the reported family to pay the servitude on behalf of the whistleblower.

This is good, these people don't care about farming anymore, their eyes are staring at the boss, they go around outside every day to see if there is anyone who can be reported, and they go home at night without sleeping and are thinking about how to escape from servitude, this society is a bit chaotic. However, Pei Yun and the leader Yang Guang didn't care about this, what they saw was white flowers.

At the end of the year, the counties of the country had a total increase of more than 640,000 men. Can the emperor not be happy?

Speaking of this Xue Daoheng, that's a bull.

Genius prodigy plus teenage fame. That music is based on the word "cai". The poems I wrote are much more famous, and here is a paragraph for the big guys. This benevolent brother's "Out of the Plug Poem": "Three autumn curtains in the desert, poor and thousands of miles of life." The lamentation of the cold night, the sound of the frost day. "How? Is it a disease-free moan? Is it empty?

Is it a lack of words to find words and pile up rhetoric? This poem highlights a kind of desolate mood of the borderland, sweeping away the beautiful rhetoric of the North and South Dynasties, which appears simple and filled with a rough and strong beauty. Such a young talent and a teenager have become famous, which has attracted a lot of envy, jealousy and hatred. It's not over yet.

Poetry is just Xue Daoheng's hobby, and Comrade Xue Daoheng is also a far-sighted politician.

It is said that in the last years of the Northern Qi Dynasty, this Comrade Xue repeatedly took countermeasures to the ruling Jianyi to prevent the eastward invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is a pity that this far-sighted opinion was not adopted by those bastard monarchs of the Gao family, and later the Northern Qi was indeed destroyed by the Northern Zhou.

Within a few years, Comrade Yang Jian replaced Zhou Lisui. In the eighth year of Kaihuang (588), Emperor Wen ordered Chen to be defeated, and Yang Guang was the commander-in-chief. But at that time, Yang Guang was only a nineteen-year-old hairy child, and the real military commander was Gao Xi, the prime minister of the people. Naxue Daoheng was also in the army, serving as the official of Huainan Province, and was in charge of Wenhan.

He didn't know the bottom of his heart about Hua Chen, he had a heavy responsibility, and he couldn't sleep every night. I thought that although the Southern Dynasty was the first, it was more advanced and developed than the Northern Dynasty in terms of economy, and the people were also strong and strong, not to mention the Yangtze River moat. It is not without precedent in history that there has been a failure to fight from the north to the south.

Although China's geography is high in the west and low in the east, high in the north and low in the south, the potential energy is quite strong from the top down, but the losers who are shot are one by one. Let's compare two bulls. Cao Apu of the Three Kingdoms led a million male divisions to prepare to take Sun Quan of Eastern Wu in one fell swoop, but Zhuge Shenren grass boat borrowed arrows to burn the company camp, and as a result, he was defeated in Chibi and hated for life.

The former Qin Shizu Xuanzhao Emperor Fu Jian led a million iron cavalry to throw the whip and break it, but he was defeated by Xie Anshi's 50,000 Southern Dynasty sailors, and was defeated like a mountain, so that in the end, the wind was loud and the grass and trees were all soldiers. These are the lessons of history.

The tall man was apprehensive, plus insomnia at night, and finally suffered from neurasthenia. It's depressing. He deliberately found Xue Daoheng and asked him to analyze and predict the shape of the war.

This classmate Xue then discussed the situation in the world from the four aspects of strategy, tactics, politics and people's will, and clearly pointed out that Sui must win and Chen must die. This potion was poured down, and the tall man was full of joy and confidence, and finally completely dispelled the doubts in his heart.

Immediately cured the insomnia of the tall adult. The development of the war really met Xue Gaoren's expectations. The 510,000 troops of the Great Sui leveled the Chen Dynasty in one fell swoop, and the land of China ushered in the final unification.

That Gao Xi naturally praised Xue Daoheng and was very serious. has good writing and good strategy, so such a young talent who can write and martial arts must have mixed smoothly in the imperial court? Not necessarily. This is also a technical job. It's not just a matter of writing a few crooked poems or having a good mind to make your eloquence playful.

Officialdom also has to ponder. This Xue Daoheng's characteristic is that he is good at pondering texts and things, but he can't ponder people. This is a strict shortcoming in officialdom. Kind of said.

Comrade Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, clearly pointed out Comrade Xue's shortcomings. To say that this Xue Daoheng has the same stinky problem as other intellectuals, to put it nicely, it is called a shortcoming. It's "pedantic". That is to say, he is broad-minded, and he must not "turn", which is a bit brainless.

The leader has repeatedly "admonished him in a roundabout way", but Xue Daoheng just can't change it. Woe to you! During the reign of Kaihuang, Xue Daoheng was exiled to Lingnan because he was removed from the list. Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was the governor of Yangzhou at that time, and Yang Guang was planning to seize the heir, and he was trying to win over important members of the imperial court to enhance his own strength and improve his prestige.

Seeing that this Xue Daoheng had a high reputation and was frustrated in officialdom, he wanted to win him over, so he sent someone to send a message, asking him to go to Lingnan via Yangzhou, intending to start Emperor Wen and keep him under his command for his own use.

Comrade Xue Daoheng's "pedanticiousness" came into play here. This master has always been unaccustomed to Yang Guang's personality, and he is not willing to go to work in the Jin Palace, so he went directly to Jiangling (Wuhan) without saying a word, and did not give face to Yang Guang, the king of Jin. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he still had a trace of admiration for Xue Daoheng, after all, this is a bull.

So he was sent to Fanzhou (now Guangzhou) to do the assassination. Xue Daoheng did not cooperate with Yang Guang, and only a little more than a year later, he submitted a request to Zhishi (retirement).

The emperor saw that it was also successful, so he approved him to return to Beijing, and planned to keep him as a secretary and supervisor. This secretary and supervisor is also a member of the three grades, and he is a professional counterpart, so he should make the best use of it.

This leader has given this buddy a chance again and again, but Xue Daoheng is a tendon. After Xue Daoheng returned to Beijing, he presented a long article "Ode to Emperor Gaozuwen", in which he praised his predecessor, Emperor Wen of Sui, Comrade Yang Jian, who had passed away. This is a stabbing of Lou Zi. (To be continued......)
