Yang Guang, Emperor of Yang Di in Sui Dynasty, was one of the emperors with the worst reputation in the history of China, which was related to the opinions of the authors of later history books. In addition, posthumous title's "Yang" is the most derogatory, so later generations think it is the worst emperor, just like Hu Hai. In fact, the Grand Canal dug during Yang Guang's period is still playing a role today, which is his achievement and should be affirmed. Since Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall has not been completely denied, Yang Guang's construction of the Grand Canal should also be affirmed. In a word, Yang Guang should be an emperor with mixed reputation, which is in line with historical facts. Yang Guang is the second son of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, also known as Angelababy and Amin. After his father Emperor Wendi established the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang was made King of Jin when he was only thirteen years old. In addition to the throne, Emperor Wendi of Sui made Yang Guang the general manager of Bingzhou (now Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, central and western China). Later, the Sui Dynasty rose up and destroyed the Southern Dynasty Chen. Yang Guang, who is only 20 years old, is the commander in chief, but the generals who really lead the army are He Ruobi and Han Qinhu. After killing Chen and moving to Jiankang (now Nanjing), he showed great tolerance: after killing Chen's traitor, he sealed the state treasury and was not greedy for money. Finally, he returned to Beijing with Empress Chen and others. Destroy Chen Gonggong and make Yang Qiu. Since then, Yang Guang has repeatedly made meritorious military service: In 590 AD, he was ordered to make a secretariat for Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to quell the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River with high wisdom; In 600 AD, he defeated the Turkish invasion in the north, and these contributions were not available to other governors. From this point of view, he is a bit like the later Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. Both are the second sons, all of whom have rendered meritorious service. They all gained the throne by extreme means, but Li Shimin's achievement is more outstanding than Yang Guang's. Perhaps because of this, people later praised Li Shimin more and belittled Yang Guang more. Yang Guang is a typical two-faced man. Although he also comes from a noble family, the color of his dude is more hidden. His personality combines many positive and negative characteristics: he has a strong vanity and likes to have fun in private; He has the low quality of a dude and extraordinary civil and military talents. He is good at pretending until he gets what he wants. When he succeeded to the throne, the bad side of his nature was unrestrained and indulged in pleasure, leading to the end of the road. In order to realize his dream of becoming a prince and emperor in the future, Yang Guang is better at camouflage than Prince Yong Yang. Knowing that his parents are frugal, he pretends to be simple, but in fact he is extravagant. When he heard that his parents were coming, he told the beautiful concubines to hide, and he and his wife Xiao met him at the door in person. He also asked old and plain-looking women to wear shabby clothes to serve their parents. He also often gives some benefits and gifts to his parents' entourage. These people all praised Yang Guangda when they went back. These two functions made Emperor Wendi and his wife like their second son Yang Guangyang more and more. What failed was that they used the people too much, were eager for quick success and instant benefit, and wanted to make great achievements too much. Three driving Liaodong not only consumed a large number of its own main army, but also brought a heavy burden to the people. Mainly because the military service is too heavy. Building the Grand Canal itself will hurt the people and the country. A series of wars to expand the territory also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. Emperor Yang Di's overconfidence and underestimation of the enemy led to the failure of his first expedition to Korea and plunged into the quagmire of war. Causing disgruntled soldiers to defect. The people also revolted to escape the heavy burden, which laid the groundwork for the collapse of the Sui Dynasty. However, Da Sui was able to quell the uprising and rebellion, which can be seen from the fact that his troops of Li Yuan later quelled the rebellion. Regrettably, Yang Di died in a court coup and the restoration of Xianbei people. In 6 18, Yang Di died at the hands of the Yuwen family, and his father, Emperor Wendi, won the throne from the Yuwen family of Xianbei royal family, and Xianbei nobles took advantage of the chaos to recapture it from Yang Guang. The great emperor Yang Guang was assassinated, but Yang Di did not die at the hands of peasant rebels. After Yang Di's death, there was chaos in the world, and the governors became independent. Later, his Tang Guogong Li Yuan was also Yang Guang's cousin. Under the banner of revenge for Yang Guang, he wiped out the restored Yuwen Xianbei nobles, put down the peasant uprising, defeated various governors and finally established the Tang Dynasty. Later, Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, succeeded in usurping the throne. It can be said that Sui laid a solid foundation for the development and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Yang Di made a wedding dress for Emperor Taizong. Now Emperor Taizong has become a famous monarch, while Yang Di has become an evil and bad monarch. Why? Because Tang Shi was written by the Tang Dynasty, the history of the Sui Dynasty was also written by the Tang Dynasty. ......
