In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, with the decline of the Wei and Jin Shi clan gate lords, the Shu landlords gradually rose, and these new social forces demanded their due status in politics, so it was difficult to continue to implement the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of electing officials by the door since the Wei and Jin dynasties. After Emperor Wen of Sui ascended the throne, he abolished the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and began to use the method of separate examinations to select officials, providing a political outlet for these emerging classes. On the one hand, this move was to use them to fight against the Shi clan lords, and on the other hand, it was also to ease their contradictions with the central government and make them loyally support the central government. The imperial examination system wrested the power to select talents and appoint officials from the hands of local wealthy families, weakened the hereditary privileges of the children of the gate lords, broke through the monopoly of the family careers, and also played a role in restraining the gate valves, and strengthened the centralization of power to a greater extent, which was very conducive to the stability of the political structure, so it has been used by successive dynasties. Another advantage of the imperial examination system is that the selection of talents is relatively fair, providing a platform for the majority of poor scholars to change their own destiny, so that talented people without background will not resentment against the court because of their lack of will, and even become the backbone of the rebels. The imperial examination system closely linked study, examination, and official work, expanded the source of officials, provided opportunities for a large number of low-ranking landlords of the Shu nationality and outstanding intellectuals in the lower strata, and provided a good channel for the state to promote talented people from the grassroots level, thus greatly increasing the fairness of the selection of officials. This policy was not only popular with the people, but also a clever way to attract the elite of the people and turn them into the right-hand men of the rulers, so as to ensure the steady development of the dynasty. After this reform of "meritocracy", many heroes who did not have the blood of wealthy families were able to "take the stage of the big one, and the small one was appointed to the county". Moreover, at that time, the Jinshi Department mainly examined political essays, and selected talents who were "talented and beautiful", which improved the cultural quality of officials and was also conducive to enhancing the efficiency of politics. After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, on the basis of Emperor Wen of Sui, the scale of the imperial examination and the number of students admitted were greatly increased, and the Jinshi Department was also increased, which marked the official entry of the imperial examination system on the historical stage. According to the "General Dictionary", Yang Guang was different from his father Yang Jian, and he gave priority to personal qualities rather than literary talents when he opened a bachelor's degree, which advocated a good atmosphere of emphasizing moral conduct in the whole society. In the third year of the Great Cause (607 AD), Emperor Yang decreed: "Those who have civil and military affairs are known for their filial piety, virtuous and generous, virtuous and righteous, clean and clean, strong and upright, indomitable in the constitution, excellent in academics, beautiful in literature, talented and strategic, and strong in hips." ”,…,

In the fifth year of the Great Cause (609 AD), Emperor Yang issued another edict: "The counties should be educated...... Talented, strong, outstanding, diligent in office, able to manage political affairs, upright, do not avoid strong and strong, four subjects. "Yang Guang's policy of emphasizing personal qualities has boosted the social atmosphere and cultivated a large number of strong and upright talents for the early Tang Dynasty. 6. In 581, Yang Jian, the great prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, bullied the young emperor for lack of foundation, so he rebelled and rebelled, replaced him, and established the Great Sui. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, he sent Yang Guang, the thirteen-year-old king of Jin, to be the governor of Taiyuan Province and defend Gyeonggi. The real intention of this move is to let Yang Guang get training from an early age and establish his own team of cronies. Yang Guang also lived up to expectations, and eventually became an emperor who was proficient in the art of war. Although he ignored state affairs in his later years, he occasionally discussed military affairs with some generals, made comments with the attitude of a veteran soldier, often chatted a few words, and could fall on the key points, and analyzed the gains and losses of the war situation. Yang Guang has been on a crusade since he was a teenager, and his shortcuts have been passed down frequently. At the age of 20, he was worshiped as the generalissimo of the Sui Dynasty, commanded the army of 510,000 to the south, the Sui army was invincible, broke through the Yangtze River moat in one fell swoop, and soon wiped out the Nanchen, and the 20-year-old Yang Guang completed the great cause of China's reunification, and since then China has entered an era of peace and strength. Although He Ruobi and Han Baohu and others commanded the battle on the front line in this battle, the young Yang Guang was in the middle of the dispatch, coordinated and cooperated, and his appearance was quite good, so like Li Shimin and other nominal commanders, the merits of the commander-in-chief should be attributed to Yang Guang undoubtedly. After the capture of Jiankang (present-day Nanjing), the Sui army under Yang Guang was highly disciplined and "did not commit any offences in autumn" against the people. Yang Guang himself also showed the bearing of the Ming lord, did not be greedy for money, sealed the treasury, "took nothing" from Chen Guocai, and also killed some traitorous ministers with great resentment from the people, which won wide praise from the people in the south, "the world is widely regarded as virtuous". In 590, a large-scale rebellion broke out in some places that originally belonged to Nanchen, and Yang Guang was appointed governor of Jiangnan and stationed in Jiangdu (present-day Yangzhou) to quell the rebellion. Under the difficult situation, Yang Guang successfully quelled the rebellion of Gao Zhizhi in Jiangnan, and in the long run, he implemented reasonable governance after the military occupation, alleviated the dissatisfaction of the people in the south with a series of reasonable policies, and broke the cultural barrier between the people in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. In 600, Yang Guang led his army north to repel the Turkic invasion, which was also his last battle before ascending the throne. Yang Guangjun has made outstanding achievements. Favored by many generals and soldiers, this is a huge advantage that other princes do not have. Yang Jian first gave Yang Guang the opportunity to lead the army in order to observe and test him; And his final decision to let Yang Guang replace the arrogant Yang Yong on the throne shows that Yang Guangtong has passed the test, making Emperor Wen of Sui feel that he is indeed a manufacturable material. 7. Yang Guang became emperor in 604, and not long after that, he launched a war against several surrounding forces such as Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, and Turkic, which shows that Emperor Yang of Sui was ambitious and had a strong sense of enterprising at the beginning of his reign, and had set the goal of expanding his territory and becoming a Ming monarch for the ages. He named his era "Great Cause", which is a kind of expectation for himself. Nowadays, many people mistakenly think that Yang Guang is a second ancestor of Liu Chan who eats and waits for death, which is inevitably biased. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty first sent Wei Yunqi to the Turks to borrow 20,000 troops, and then under the guise of borrowing the road, he led the Turkic soldiers to raid the Khitan base camp, defeated the Khitan, captured more than 40,000 men and women, and greatly prevented and delayed the rise of the Khitan. A civil official successfully united dozens of tribes in Dongsai with only his sharp teeth, and beat the newly rising Khitan to the bottom without a single soldier of the Great Sui, which is unprecedented in Chinese history. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty only sent one person to capture 40,000 enemies, which can be said to have developed the strategy of "using Hu to control Hu" in the Central Plains to the extreme. In 608, Yang Guang sent troops to exterminate Tuyuhun, and "set up counties, counties, towns, and towns in the area, and sent the world to migrate to them", thus opening up a vast territory of thousands of miles from the east bank of Qinghai Lake in the east, to the Tarim Basin in the west, from the Kuruktag Mountains in the north, to the Kunlun Mountains in the south. After defeating the Western Turks and destroying Tuyuhun, Emperor Yang of Sui cleared the way and began his real strategic goal ---- large-scale development and operation of the Western Regions. In 609, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, based on his early military career, led a large army to drive a personal expedition, first to Longxi, Gansu, and then to Qinghai in the west, across the Qilian Mountains, through the Great Dou Ba Valley to the north, and finally to Zhangye County in the Hexi Corridor. The tour lasted half a year, as far as Qinghai and the Hexi Corridor, and in the feudal era, only Yang Guang was the only Chinese emperor who arrived so far in the northwest. This western tour opened up the territory, stabilized the western frontier, shocked all countries, and greatly publicized the national prestige; At the same time, it also carried out trade and unblocked the Silk Road, creating a momentary grand occasion. In the course of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's westward tour, he placed the four counties of Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, and Momo, and implemented the county management system in this new territory where no formal administrative region had ever been set up in previous dynasties, adding four counties of land to the Great Sui. Yang Guang's move was quite far-sighted, and these regions were only truly brought under Chinese rule.

It has also laid a good foundation for Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other northwest regions to become an inseparable part of China. After arriving in Zhangye, the monarchs and envoys of the 27 countries of the Western Regions came to meet and express their submission. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also held the Universal Exposition on the ancient Silk Road, merchants from all over the world gathered in Zhangye to trade, creating an unprecedented prosperous scene, but also showing the strong wealth of the Central Plains Dynasty in front of the countries, greatly increasing the foreign trade of the Sui Dynasty, and enhancing the international status and influence of the Great Sui, which is undoubtedly a historical achievement that can only be established by a monarch with great achievements. In addition to opening up the territory to the northwest, forcing the surrender of **, and subduing Tuyuhun, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also launched a series of wars to the southwest, and achieved a brilliant victory. In the fourth year of the great cause, the lord of the Japanese kingdom, Doris Bigu, sent an envoy to pay tribute for the third time and bowed his head to the courtiers. In the fifth year of the Great Cause, Tuyuhun and other 27 countries in the Western Regions paid tribute to the Sui Empire. In the sixth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui sent troops to capture Ryukyu, which greatly increased the connection between Taiwan and the mainland...... Since then, China has been called the "first country" by Siyi, and the first-class system that has influenced China for more than 1,500 years has been born. It's a pity that in order to scandalize Emperor Yang of Sui, later generations did not mention the hand of Emperor Yang of Sui, who was founded in the "generation of faint monarchs", so that most people now don't know the origin of the word "***". Before the expedition to Goguryeo, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked everything, was full of spirit, established great martial arts, and was recognized by the people of the whole country as a generation of British lords, and was even more respected and admired by the surrounding countries, which can be said to be the heart of the world. In the past few years after Yang Guang ascended the throne, the Great Sui soldiers were unstoppable, the four Yi surrendered, and the national prestige was greatly enhanced. At that time, the envoys of the Central Plains went out of the fortress, even if they only brought two or three followers, they could make the grassland of thousands of miles set off a bloody storm. The Khitan leader only showed a little disrespect to the envoys of the Central Plains, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Saishang warriors took the initiative to remove this thorn in the side of the Great Sui. In the third year of the great cause, ** Qimin Khan came to pay tribute, after respecting Emperor Wen of Sui before Yang Jian, he once again respected Emperor Yang Guang of Sui as "Sage Moyuan Khan", and respectfully worshipped and said: "From below the sky, above the earth, the sun and the moon shine, only the sage Khan." Today is the great day, may the saint Khan live a thousand years and live this day. Later, although Li Shimin was also crowned with the honorific title of "Heavenly Khan", compared with Yang Jian's father and son, who were first called the supreme khan of the northern nomads, he was the first case of the Chinese son of heaven and a foreign monarch, and it can only be regarded as picking up people's teeth and wisdom. ,…,
