What kind of emperor is Yang Guang?

Yang Di (569-6 18 April 10) Yang Guang, the second emperor of Sui Dynasty, the second son of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, his mother, and the orphaned queen. He also had great ambitions for national politics and made great efforts to realize these ambitions. After taking charge, he toured the frontier fortress, developed the western regions and promoted the great construction. However, in the end, because the people couldn't stand his repeated belligerence, he was famous for his cruelty. Some people compare Shang Zhouwang and Qin Shihuang with him and call him a tyrant. He imposed heavy taxes on people's slavery, which seriously damaged production. Under the attack of the people's uprising, Yu Wenhuaji and others launched a mutiny and hanged him in Jiangdu (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu). Merits: First, he personally commanded the reunification of the motherland (unified the whole country); Second, he ordered the completion of the Grand Canal. Third, personally open up the territory and smooth the Silk Road (visiting Zhangye in the west). The end of Emperor Yang Di was neither the Duke of the Great Wall like Chen Houzhu nor the poison he brought. In March of the 14th year of the Great Cause (6 18), Emperor Yang Di saw that the world was in chaos and could not be redeemed, and ordered him to repair Danyang Palace (now Nanjing) and prepare to move the capital. The drivers are all Guanzhong guards, who miss their hometown and flee it in succession. At this time, Ethan and other samurai lang will. Collusion with Naoko Peiqian, taking advantage of the resentment of the Guards who missed their hometown, pushed Yu Wenhuaji, the son of Yuwen Shu, to launch a mutiny, and Yu Wenhuaji forced the emperor Yang Di to death. After his death, the extravagant and corrupt emperor didn't even have a decent coffin. After his death, Hou Yaozong and Imperial Secretary removed the bed board and made a small coffin, which was secretly buried under the Liu Zhu Hall in Jiangdu Palace. After the Tang Dynasty pacified Jiangnan, Zhenguan was moved and buried in Tang Lei in the fifth year (63 1) (now Yangzhou North15km, Nanping Mountain in Tang Lei, Wugong Tainan 10). Yang Guang loves literature and art, and once ordered his men to copy the books in the Forbidden Secret Pavilion into volumes, divide them into three classes, and hide them in the east and west stacks of the Guanwen Temple in Luoyang, and build two other sets behind the temple to collect famous calligraphy and painting since Wei Dynasty. Yu Xin, a beginner in literature. During the Jin Dynasty, more than 0/00 people, such as Liu and Yu Shinan, were recruited to "learn from their teachers and friends" (Liu Chuan, a History of the North), so they liked the style of Liang Chengong. "Preface to Sui Shu Literature" said: "The early literature and art research of Emperor Yangdi is not light. It almost ascended the throne, which is a change. " Today, most of his poems are Yuefu songs, and their contents are either presented for entertainment or written for entertainment, which is obviously contaminated with the wind of Qi and Liang Dynasties. However, he also has an elegant style, which shows the respect of the emperor. "Although he is arrogant, his words are not floating", such as "Drinking horses in the Great Wall Grottoes to show his followers" and "White Horse Articles". In the Qing Dynasty, Shen Deqian thought that such works were "full of enthusiasm, but failed to arouse their strength" and "better than Chen Houzhu" (the source of ancient poetry). Because he experienced frontier fortress and expedition to Liaodong, the natural scenery and military life described in the poem also have its realistic basis. He also has exquisite poems, such as "The waves will go to the moon, and the tide will return to the stars" ("Moonlit Night on the Spring River"), which Hu Yinglin considered as "the law of the unique Tang Dynasty" ("Poem Internal Compilation"), which had a certain impact on the development of the early Tang Dynasty. The Annals of Sui Shu's Classics contains 55 volumes of Yang Ji, and The Collection of Poems of the Sui Dynasty contains more than 40 poems. See the story of "Sui Shu". The failure of Emperor Yang Di in this century lies in his overuse of the people, quick success and instant benefit, and his desire to make great achievements. 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 had the ability to quell the uprising and rebellion, which can be seen from the later suppression of the rebellion by his Li Yuan army. 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, thirteen-year-old Yang Guang was made King of Jin. Besides the throne, he also made Yang Guang the general manager of Bingzhou (now Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province). The reason why Yang Jian wants his youngest son to be the general manager of Bing and defend the capital is to learn the lesson that he was destroyed without the help of cronies' etiquette in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In order to let his son get exercise and be really competent for his job in the future, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty asked Wang Shao, a talented minister, to be Yang Guang's assistant minister. Wang Shao lived up to the trust of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and dedicated himself to Yang Guang. Once, when he was visiting the Great Wall, Yang Guang took the opportunity to build a garden. As a result, Yang Guang was stopped immediately after Wang Shao came back. 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 Chen was destroyed, he moved to Jiankang, now Nanjing. Yang guang showed great tolerance: he killed Chen's traitor, sealed the state treasury and was not greedy for money. Finally, he returned to Beijing with Empress Chen and others. After Chen was destroyed, Yang was named 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 Turks in the north. These contributions are not available to other princes. From this point of view, he is somewhat similar to Li Shimin. Both are the second sons, and both have meritorious military service. They all gained the throne by extreme means, but Li Shimin has more outstanding achievements than Yang Guang. Perhaps because of this, people later praised Li Shimin more and belittled Yang Guang more.
