Yang guang has always been regarded as the most vivid example of the king of national subjugation, but if we look at the environment at that time, we can easily see Yang guang's difficulties and many fetters.
He has always been famous as a poet. He is gifted and writes beautifully. From his poems, we can easily see that he is a broad-minded and ambitious monarch. Not to mention the two well-known songs of Liaodong in Hebei, even the moonlight on the riverside can almost hang all the land kings. The whole poem of Moonlit Night by the River is as follows:
The twilight river is still there, and the spring flowers are in full bloom. The waves will leave the moon, and the tide will bring stars.
The poem is about how time flies, but it is not sad. On the contrary, there is an open-mindedness that "the past cannot be remonstrated, and the future can still be pursued".
& ltImg class="pgc-img-caption "During Yang Guang's administration, China's national strength was also extremely strong. In 6 10, he performed hundreds of plays in Luoyang, which amazed the vassal States who came to pay tribute. At that time, there were nearly 20 thousand people playing strings in Luoyang, which lasted for a whole month. During the reign of Yang Guang, the population remained the same only during the reign of Kaiyuan Tianbao, when the national strength of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak.
He is a proud man, but he also has proud capital. When Chen Ping fought, he was less than twenty years old, and it took him about a month to pacify Chen Guo. With such impressive achievements at a young age, what will he care about? He doesn't know that this is only the beginning of his victory and the beginning of his life tragedy. Then build the Great Wall, dig the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, send troops to Vietnam, break the mud and break the Turks. All this seems to him to be child's play, and he seems to be omnipotent like a god.
& ltImg class="pgc-img-caption "extremes meet, but extremes meet. His expedition to North Korea met with unprecedented difficulties. It is said that three expeditions to North Korea mobilized more than one million people, wasted people and money, and made the people miserable. During his second conquest of Korea, Yang Xuangan, the minister of the Sui Dynasty, began to rebel. Although Yang Xuangan failed in his rebellion, he has told the world that the foundation of the Sui Dynasty has moved, so the thieves in the world took advantage of it.
Another reason for Yang Guang's failure is the abuse of the imperial examination system. The imperial examination system gave humble families a chance to become abortion social figures from the bottom. Although this practice can select talents for the court, it has brought harm to the interests of the nobility. Nobles are descendants of literati in the Six Dynasties and have a strong sense of hierarchy. They ensured the natural superiority of their origins through heredity, but this superiority was gradually lost after the implementation of the imperial examination system. Faced with the loss of rights, they had to clash with the emperor. Yang Guang himself was criticized by others, and people took advantage of it, so in the end, Yang Guang was only branded as a bad king.
& ltImg class="pgc-img-caption "Today, we can't simply summarize Yang Guang with good or bad, let alone put the hat of a bad king on his head. Looking at history, today's people can know the cause and effect of things, and it is inhuman to criticize the ancients in one sentence. Anyone standing at the crossroads of history has his own judgment, and Yang Guang is just one of tens of millions of people standing at the crossroads.
He has ambition, ideal and mind, but he can only sink in the face of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the Central Plains. He retired from Jiangdu for more than a year and could no longer be encouraged.
Fighting spirit is only at the helpless end of life.
Posthumous title in the Great Sui Dynasty was "Ming" and posthumous title in the Tang Dynasty was "Yang". Although it is true, the Tang Dynasty was too petty.
