Yang Jian timely ordered Zhu Wang Yi and Liang Rui to be the marching marshals, and led the army to attack respectively, and both were victorious.

At the same time, the kings of the Northern Zhou clan waited for opportunities to get rid of Yang Jian several times, but Yang Jian dealt with it decisively and smashed his plot to seize power.

After eliminating the political enemies who threatened him, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty issued an edict to announce the Chan concession with Yang Jian's expectations.

Yang Jian's three let and accept the mandate of heaven, from the prime minister's house to enter the palace, the preparation of the emperor is located in the Linguang Palace, the country name is "Sui", change the Yuan to open the emperor, announced the amnesty of the world.

After Yang Jian put down the rebellion, the only opponents to unify the world were the Chen dynasty in the south and the Western Liang in a corner of Jiangling.

In the eighth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Jian led the naval army out of Yong'an with Yang Guang out of Liuhe, Yang Jun out of Xiangyang, and Yang Su out of Yong'an, a total of 518,000 troops, and the three-way army attacked Chen.

In December of the eighth year, Yang Su defeated Chen's defenders along the Yangtze River and went east along the river.

However, because Shi Wenqing, Shen Keqing and others withheld emergency documents, the Chen Dynasty was unable to transfer the army from Jiankang.

Chen's general Ren Zhong led Han to capture the tiger and invade Jiankang City, captured Chen Shubao, and the Chen Dynasty perished.

Soon, the Chen army in various places was either ordered by the Empress Chen to surrender, or resisted the Sui army and was wiped out, only the Lingnan area was guarded by Mrs. Xian, and the Sui sent envoys Wei Wei and others to pacify Lingnan, and Mrs. Xian led the people to meet the Sui envoys, and the Lingnan prefectures were all Sui lands. At this point, the world is unified.

The Turkic Wooden Pole Khan then became the only powerful state in the north. The Northern Qi and Northern Zhou were opposed, each sending heavy bribes to ask for Turkic assistance, and the Turks became more and more arrogant.

Yang Jian ascended the throne and no longer gave gifts to the Turks, and the Turks resented and raised troops to join the army.

When Changsun Sheng was in the Turks, he had a secret alliance with the Marquis of Luo, was familiar with the situation of the Turks, and wrote a book to offer strategies, saying: Now it is not the time to use troops against the Turks, but without soldiers, the Turks will invade greatly, Yang Jian ordered Yang Shuang to be the marshal of the march, and led the troops to attack the Turks in eight ways.

The Turks were in civil strife, the attacks and wars were endless, and all the khans sent envoys to the court to ask for help, but Yang Jian did not allow them, and let them continue to fight each other, and since then the Turks have been divided into two parts: east and west.

The Turks recognized the Sui Emperor as the true emperor, and he was a vassal state, protected by the Sui, Yang Jian stood on the tall building and roared: "From now on, anyone who dares to offend my Great Sui Shenwei will die in his country even if he is far away, and his seed will be cut off. ”

This extremely domineering foreign declaration made the Turks respect Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian as a saint khan!

Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian began Yang Jian's efforts to govern and created a glorious "rule of the emperor" In the early days of the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, it was a situation where all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived, and all kinds of chaos were waiting to be cured. As soon as Emperor Wen of Sui ascended the throne of Jinluan, he used his great talents and strategies to carry out a series of major reforms to the political system.

Yang Jian abolished the outdated Northern Six Officials (Heaven, Earth, Spring, Autumn, Winter, and Summer) system, and established a system of three provinces and six ministries, and Shangshu Province set up six departments: officials, people, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. Simplifying the local government system and revising the Kaihuang Law, the "Kaihuang Law" had a far-reaching impact on the laws of later generations, and the laws revised by Yang Jian were basically inherited by the Tang Dynasty.

Sui built a new city in the southeast of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, named Daxing City, in the present-day Xi'an City and the east, south and west of the city.

That is, Tang Chang'an City. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the capital was still in the old city of Chang'an, which was dilapidated due to war.

Moreover, the shape of the palace was too small to meet the needs of the newly built unified national capital. In addition, for hundreds of years, urban sewage has been precipitated, and it is difficult to drain from the bottom, and the supply of drinking water has also become a problem. Therefore, Yang Jian abandoned the old Chang'an City north of Longshouyuan and chose a new site in the southeast of Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty south of Longshouyuan.

Hua-Xia entered the prosperous era of the emperor, the people's livelihood was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the politics were stable.

Yang Jian advocated frugality, saved a lot of government expenses, abolished unnecessary miscellaneous taxes, and set up grain warehouses to store food.

The granaries in the capital of the Sui Dynasty and various places were full of grain, with large ones storing tens of millions of stones, and small ones also storing millions of stones.

In the state treasury of Chang'an, Luoyang and Taiyuan, tens of millions of silk silks were stored. When Yang Jian was dying, the accumulation of warehouses in the world could be used normally for fifty or sixty years across the country.

Yang Jian implemented the uniform field system, rectified the household registration, received the uniform field order, set up granaries, reformed the currency, and advocated frugality.

He and the literary queen Dugu Jialuo have shared joys and sorrows for more than 40 years, sincere and warm love, after thousands of years of precipitation, it is still tender and moving.

Yang Jian first put the third son of Qin King Yang Jun under house arrest, Yang Yong was demoted to a concubine, the second son Yang Guang was relegated to the crown prince, and the fourth son of Shu King Yang Xiu was demoted to a concubine, although after the death of Queen Dugu, Xuanhua's wife Chen's and Ronghua's wife Cai's were favored by Yang Jian, although the lonely and lonely old Yang Jian tried to find some joy in life and forget his sorrow in Chen, Cai Guiren and other young beauties, but the pain of losing the queen has always been unable to extricate himself, Queen Dugu died just over a year, Yang Jian couldn't afford to be sick, Yang Guang considered that if Yang Jian died, It was necessary to take precautions in advance, so he wrote a letter by hand and sent it out to ask Yang Su.

Yang Su wrote down the situation one by one and replied to Yang Guang.

The palace people mistakenly sent the reply letter to Yang Jian's bedroom, and Yang Jian was extremely angry after reading it.

Just after dawn, Mrs. Xuanhua went out to change her clothes and was forced by Yang Guang.

Mrs. Xuanhua refused him and was able to get out. When she returned to Emperor Wen's bedroom, Yang Jian wondered that her expression was wrong, and asked what the reason was, and Mrs. Xuanhua said with tears in her eyes: "The prince is rude!" ”

Yang Jian was angry, pounded the bed and said, "This brute! How can state affairs be entrusted to him! Dugu mistook me! ”

Yang Guang falsely passed Yang Jian's will to arrest Liu Shu and Yuan Yan, and the palace gate was forbidden to enter and exit, and sent Yu Wenshu and Guo Yan to enter the dispatch command, and then, Yang Jian died in the Great Treasure Palace, reigned for 23 years, at the age of 64, the Tang Dynasty recorded in the "General Calendar" that Emperor Wen of Sui was "blood splashed screen" by Zhang Heng, and Zhao Yi recorded that Emperor Wen of Sui was poisoned by Zhang Heng in the "Brief Record of the Great Cause".

However, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he falsely passed on the will of Emperor Wen of Sui, forced Yang Yong to commit suicide, and executed Yang Yong.

There is also his brother Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, who was framed by him for using witch Gu to curse Emperor Wen of Sui and his younger brother Yang Liang, the king of Han, and was deprived of his official title and demoted to a commoner under house arrest in the Inner Servant Province, and was later placed under house arrest with his sons, and was not allowed to see his wife.

Although the Grand Canal is a blessing and a contribution to our descendants, at that time, it led to the people's misery, and Yang Guang made a great contribution to the policy of cultivating talents, reusing Yu Shiji, Pei Yun and other officials of the Southern Group.
