Were there any good ministers in the Sui Dynasty?

Niu Hong (545-6 10), Minister of Sui Dynasty. The word Liren is from Anding Quail (now Changwu County). Attack and seal the public. Learn less and read more. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was responsible for the writing of documents and the compilation of Juzhu. After Emperor Wendi acceded to the throne, he served as a regular waiter and secretary supervisor. In view of the chaos of the former dynasty, the division between the north and the south, and the massive loss of books, Niu Hong wrote a letter suggesting that books should be searched and donated. Emperor Wen wrote a letter and presented a book and a horse. In less than two years, books gradually appeared. I also set up a special person to copy the copy, which was originally owned by me or treasured by the state. Niu Hong also entered the Jue Zhang Qi Simon. In the third year of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty (583), I paid homage to the Minister of Rites and asked them to build the Ming Hall and establish the system of rites and music. He also wrote 100 volumes of Five Rites, from which Confucian culture was revived. Niu Hong also served as the official department, responsible for selecting and employing people, advocating virtue before talent, and the people were unconvinced. Niu Hong lived a frugal life, served the emperor with courtesy, treated his subordinates well, and was not good at talking but fulfilled his duties. I still can't put it down because of the complicated government affairs. Daye died in Jiangdu for six years (6 10). There are collections handed down from generation to generation. Jingshan Forest Park in Lingtai County has three shrines of sages, among which Niu Hong is dedicated to three sages. Su Yang was born in Huayin, Hongnong (now Huayin, Shaanxi). Yang's family is a famous family. His grandfather, Yang Xuan, served as an assistant general and an ancient adviser in the Northern Wei Dynasty. His uncle's grandfather, Yang Kuan, was a servant in the Northern Wei Dynasty. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty, Yang Kuan served as a small burial and slaughter-prime minister. Su Yang's father, yangfu, was appointed as the secretariat of Fenzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that is, the fallen general mentioned earlier, while Su Yang was a martyr. What's more commendable is that he was born in such a family and has such a background, but he doesn't have the habits of a general dude. On the contrary, he was ambitious since childhood, eager to make achievements, and never cared about trivial matters, so many people could not see the greatness of this young man. The unique Yang Kuan can know pearls with his eyes. He said to his children and grandchildren, "Don't underestimate Chu Dao. Although he is careless and informal, he has extraordinary skills and unlimited future." In my opinion, none of you can compare with him in the future! "Su Yang was born in a closed family, martial arts furious. He practiced martial arts hard all day, and learned a good skill, such as riding a horse, bending a bow and shooting an arrow, which laid a solid foundation for his future army. Later, on one occasion, Emperor Wendi of Sui personally led a contest. At that time, the martial arts of the Sui Dynasty were furious, and Su Yang hit an arrow, and his bow was not empty, ranking first. The officials were convinced, and Emperor Wendi was overjoyed. Immediately gave him a foreign pure gold plate, worth tens of thousands of pieces.

Not only that, Su Yang also worked hard to learn culture, which is very different from ordinary soldiers. He studied all classics, etiquette, calligraphy, and even the art of measuring his profession, especially writing articles and calligraphy, and his cursive pen has a tendency to soar; The official script was full, magnificent and rock-solid, and was cited as a beautiful talk by people all over the world at that time. He participated in the drafting of the imperial edict in the imperial court, "writing is beautiful." Yuwen Yong was surprised and said to him cheerfully, "Su Yang, although you work hard, you will be rich in the future." To Yuwen Yong's surprise, Su Yang actually held back his voice and said, "I never thought about wealth in my heart, but I was afraid that wealth would come to me!" Later, in the Sui Dynasty, it was integrated with Xue Daoheng's poems. Su Yang once wrote a five-character poem, * * * up to 700 words, which was seamless, magnificent, handsome and neat. This is really a rare masterpiece. Yu Qingze (? ~ 597), Minister of the Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasties. Last name is Yu. Born in Lingwu (now Wuzhong, Ningxia), he moved to Jingzhao Oak County (now Lintong North, Shaanxi). My father is Xiang, who was once the satrap of Lingwu in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Generations have been northern strongmen. Qing has been practicing martial arts since childhood. He is strong, skilled in martial arts and knows the language of Xianbei people. He has been an official since the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Duke of Qinyuan County (now Qinyuan County, Shanxi Province) was created, and he has served as a general, general manager of Bingzhou (now Taiyuan, Shanxi Province) and general manager of Shizhou (now Lishi, Shanxi Province). After entering the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty was encouraged to destroy the Yuwen family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which made great contributions to consolidating the new Sui regime. He was promoted to general, literary and historical supervisor and official minister, Jing and Feng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). At this time, Tukhan Shapiro's wife, who was originally a princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, held a grudge against Emperor Wendi's act of destroying her maiden's family, and strongly encouraged Shapiro to attack the new regime of the Sui Dynasty, hoping to restore the rule of the Yuwen Zhou family. Shabowslightly also has the ambition to expand to the south, and the couple thought of it together. In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (582), Sha Bo led a 654.38+ 10,000-strong Turkish army to March in two ways, crossing Henan and Hexi areas at the same time, and invading the hinterland of Gyeonggi from Muxiaguan (now southwest of Guyuan, Ningxia) and Shimenguan (now northwest of Guyuan, Ningxia). At one time, "Wuwei, Tianshui, Anding, Jincheng, Shang Jun, Honghua, Yan 'an and Six Livestock were all destroyed", which caused great losses to people's lives and property in the whole northwest region and posed a great threat to the newly established Sui Dynasty regime. At first, Qian Chao ordered his right servant to shoot Yu Qingze's troops stationed in Honghua (now Qingyang, Gansu) to guard against the enemy's invasion from Lingzhou Road and Guyuan Road. When the two places fell, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered Yu Qingze to lead the troops out of Yuanzhou Road, Hejian Wang led the troops out of Lingzhou Road, and Zuo servant shot Gao Jiong to lead the troops out of Ningzhou (now Ningxian County, Gansu Province), each being a marshal, to meet the invading enemy respectively. Yu Jun fought bravely and led Han Sangshou and others to defeat the enemy in Jitoushan (now Liupanshan) and Yuanzhou (now Guyuan, Ningxia). After the defeat of the Turks, four years (584), the court sent Yu Qingze to the Turks. He successfully persuaded Shapiro Khan to submit to the Sui Dynasty, and finally freed the north from war, and the vast number of border people got a certain degree of rest. Yu Qingze also made new contributions, thus "being a prime minister and a nobleman". In the seventeenth year (597), he was again appointed as the chief of the March of Guizhou Road (now Guilin, Guangxi) and the commander-in-chief of the Li Shixian Rebel Army. However, after the riots, when he could have been promoted, his malicious brother-in-law Zhao Shizhu wrongly accused him of trying to rebel because of competition. Without careful investigation and verification and reliable evidence, the imperial court hastily executed such an important official and famous soldier, leaving a historical unsolved case and regret. ......
