The poor emperor Yang Guang Yang Di in the history of China.

Historically, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty ruled this country. During his reign, he built the Grand Canal, Luoyang City, the eastern capital, the Silk Road, the imperial examination and the three taxes on North Korea. He played an important role in history, ending the three or four hundred years of war in China. Since then, China has entered an era of peace and prosperity. Such a brilliant and great emperor didn't even have a decent coffin after his death, and his shelter was less than half an acre. Sometimes history is really unfair. There is only one reason. The Sui Dynasty perished in his hands. What reputation does the king of national subjugation talk about, let alone what funeral? Poor Yang Guang.

In fact, there are many poor emperors in history, such as Zhou Taizu, Xian Di, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and Chongzhen. Chongzhen, Li Yu, Guangxu, Puyi and others are also pitiful. Although they are diligent and love the people, they are born at an inopportune time. The emperors who died the worst were Xu Huixin and Song Huizong. He destroyed DaSong and became a prisoner himself. The beautiful Queen Zhu is often harassed by nomadic people. Liang hanged himself and finally died of a serious illness. The body was burned in a stone pit. When it was halfway burned, water was poured out to put out the fire and the body was thrown into the pit. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gong Jing, the monarch of the State of Jin, was martyred in the toilet. He must be suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The king of Qin is the king of Wu. He is young and promising, and likes to compete with others. He died in a big tripod lifting competition in Luoyang. Jin Xiao Emperor Sima Yao died at the hands of his imperial concubine. What a joke! Looking back at the poor emperors above, compared with those who died the worst, no one can surpass Yang Di in terms of their achievements during their lifetime. However, the shelter after death is small and pitiful. The coffin is made of a bed board removed by the servant. Yang Guang and Yang Di are undoubtedly the poorest emperors in the history of China!

We might as well turn to history and see Yang Guang's outstanding contribution in this life. In 589 AD, Yang Guang, who was only 20 years old, was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Sui Dynasty. He led an army of 565,438+/kloc-0,000 to attack the Chen dynasty, thus completing the unification of China. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for ten years, a large-scale rebellion took place in some old places in the south. Yang Guang was appointed general of Jiangnan and stationed in Jiangdu to quell the rebellion. This stay is ten years. You are really a good general, both civil and military. His troops have high prestige among the people! For twenty years, he was the commander-in-chief of Ren Yuanzheng Turk.

Building a canal connecting Qiantang River, Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River and Haihe River is a huge project, and Yang Guang's foresight is far-reaching and has brought great benefits to future generations of China. Expanding territory and visiting Zhangye in the west not only expanded the national territory, but also opened up the Silk Road, which is a feat that only a famous monarch can do! The invasion not only prevented and delayed the rise of Qidan. Westbound, arrived in Zhangye County, Hexi Corridor. I'm not afraid of the snowstorm, the temperature is below zero. What spirit is this! How admirable! Footprints spread all over Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, Qiemo and other counties, which further contributed to Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang becoming an inseparable part of China. After Yang Di arrived in Zhangye, monarchs and Mitchell from 27 western regions came to meet him, and businessmen from all over the world gathered in Zhangye for trade. In the feudal history of China, no emperor crossed the ocean and became famous all over the world. Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty was the first!

The official birth of Chinese imperial examination system is also a great initiative of Yang Guang. After Emperor Wendi ascended the throne, he abolished the ninth grade middle school system and began to select officials by subject examination. Yang Di officially established the Jinshi branch. At that time, Jinshi mainly assessed political articles and selected talents with "literary talent", which had far-reaching significance, not only greatly strengthened centralization, but also contributed to political stability.

Yang Guang was conquered because of his pride and vanity. In the development of the western region, merchants from the western regions were lured to trade with North Korea with money, and local counties were ordered to be hospitable to the Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal where merchants from the western regions passed. This is not equal trade at all, but showing off their culture and martial arts in the name of trade. In fact, it is a loss-making business, wasting the country's huge wealth in vain. Yang Di fought against the DPRK three times before and after, which greatly weakened the national strength of the Sui Dynasty. The end of Emperor Yang Di's War had much to do with the conquest of Korea. When the first conquest failed, a team of more than 300 thousand people finally came back. The second time he sent troops, he was forced to withdraw. At this time, the world will be in chaos, and the dynasty has already shown signs of extinction. However, despite this, Emperor Yang Di launched the third Korean War. This time, near Pyongyang, the water army of Sui Dynasty defeated the North Korean army, korean king Gaoyuan sent a special envoy to surrender, and Emperor Yang Di sent troops back to North Korea in 6 13. Yang Guang's aim was to pacify the frontier and complete the great cause of reunification, but the war was costly and caused people's resistance. In 6 16, the wagang army defeated Zhang Xutuo in Xingyang. In 6 17 AD, Li Yuan set out from Jinyang, quickly captured Chang 'an and made Wang Gang emperor. 1968 Jiangdu mutiny, headed by Yang-ti, with Qin as emperor, led the troops back to Guanzhong. In May, Li Yuan abandoned Emperor Gong and claimed to be the emperor, and died in the Sui Dynasty.

Finally, Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di didn't even have a decent coffin. Hou Yaozong and imperial secretary removed the bed board, made a small coffin, and secretly buried it under Liu Zhu Hall in Jiangdu Palace. Yang guang was great and outstanding before his death! Even worse after death. Poor thing! Poor as a pinch of loess, a grain of fine sand, submerged in the long river of history, can not be found.

We just remember his achievements, and sometimes we remember, admire and taste them.
