Yang guang's funny life

Yang Guang (AD 569-6 18), the second son of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, was born in Wuchuan County, Inner Mongolia. He succeeded to the throne after killing Wendi and his brother Yong Yang. 14 years, besieged by the peasant uprising wave in Jiangdu (now Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province), launched a mutiny for Yu Wenhuaji and others. At the age of 50, he was buried in the northwest of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province 15 Tang Lei.

Emperor Yang Di Yang Guang, also known as Angelababy and Amo, was made King of Jin in 58 1 year. In the process of destroying southern Chen and resisting northern Turkistan, he made great contributions and recruited a group of talents, bent on replacing his brother as the prince. Due to the luxury of life, Yong Yang gradually lost the favor of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang catered to Emperor Wen's wishes, advocated frugality, pretended to be frugal and behaved indecent. Whenever Wendi came to his mansion, he locked his concubines in the back room. There are only a few old and ugly women in the palace, dressed in coarse clothes, waiting around. He broke the instrument on purpose and made it covered with dust. Put it in a conspicuous position. Wendi Deng thinks that Yang Guangxiang is like himself, and he is very satisfied. On one occasion, Yang Guang went out hunting and it rained heavily. The guard showed him greasy clothes (raincoats), but he refused and said, "The soldiers were all wet by the heavy rain. How can I put them on for shelter by myself? " Wendi thinks that Yang Guang still has a kind heart and he can achieve great things in the future. At the same time, Yang Guang colluded with Su Yang, the King of Yue who was at odds with Yong Yang, trying to discredit Yong Yang in front of Wendi and Queen Dugu, and framed Yong Yang during Wendi's illness, saying that he hoped his father would die at an early date. Hearing this, Emperor Wen arrested him and abolished him in 600 AD, making him a prince. The first step of Yang Guang's usurpation was successful.

In July 604, Wendi was seriously ill in bed. Yang Guang thinks it's time to ascend the throne. He can't wait to write to Su Yang and ask how to deal with the upcoming funeral of Emperor Wen. Unexpectedly, the messenger sent Su Yang's reply to Wendi Deng by mistake. Emperor Wen was furious after reading it. He immediately called Yang Guang to the palace and questioned him face to face. At this time, Mrs. Xuanhua came in in untidy clothes, crying that Yang Guang had shamelessly molested her while she was changing clothes, which made Wendi more aware that he had been cheated by Yang Guang, patting the bed and cursing: "This beast is so rude, how can he take on the responsibility of governing the country?" The queen missed my big event. " Urgent to serve in Liu Shu, Yan Yuan wrote, abolished Yang Guang, made Yong Yang prince. Yang Guang got a tip-off from his minions who were placed beside Wendi Deng. After consulting with Minister Su Yang, he led troops to surround the palace, drove away the imperial secretary, arrested Liu Shu and Yan Yuan, and murdered Wendi. Yang Guangpa sent someone to falsely preach the will of Emperor Wen, asking Yong Yang to commit suicide. Before Yong Yang could answer, the sent men dragged Yong Yang out and killed him. In this way, Yang Guang seized the throne by killing his father and brother. History is called Yang-ti. In the second year, the title was changed to "Daye". As soon as Yang Guang ascended the throne, he showed the nature of being extravagant and harming the people, and became a famous prodigal son and tyrant in the history of China. In the first year of his accession to the throne, Yang Guang decided to move the capital to Luoyang. He ordered Su Yang to build Tokyo Palace and Yuwen Kai and Feng Deyi to build Ren Xian Palace.

2 million people are employed to build Luoyang every month. It also collects rare materials and stones from all over the country and transports them to Luoyang. Farmers are forced to transport for thousands of miles, which makes many people exhausted on the road. He ordered the construction of the West Garden in the western suburbs of Luoyang, covering an area of more than 200 mu. There are three fairy islands in the sea, which are 100 feet high. The buildings on the island are very spectacular. There is a long forest canal in the north of the sea. Canal water winds into the sea, and 16 individual courtyards are built along the canal. The building is very gorgeous, and each courtyard is headed by a concubine. The whole Xiyuan is like spring all the year round. In autumn, colorful silk is cut into leaves and covered with branches. In winter, when Yang Guang goes to the Palace, the ice in the pond must be quickly chiseled off, cut into lotus leaves with colored silk and placed on the floor. There are all kinds of rare birds and animals in the garden for Yang Guang to hunt and watch. In the evening, Yang Guang often takes thousands of ladies-in-waiting to ride horses and play music, and goes to the West Park for sightseeing and feasting. In the same year, in order to exert and strengthen his rule in the south, Yang Guang recruited more than one million migrant workers. It took six years to build a Grand Canal with a total length of more than 4,000 miles from Zhuo Jun in the northeast (now Zhuoxian County, Hebei Province) to Suzhou and Hangzhou in the southeast. Avenue is opened on both sides of the river, elms and willows are planted along the roadside, and a palace for Yang Guang to rest is set up every two post stations on the shore. From Luoyang to Jiangdu (now Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province), * * * has set up more than 40 palaces.

It took about10.5 billion workers to dig the Grand Canal. At that time, an average of nearly 20 workers were needed for each household, and many migrant workers digging ditches were exhausted in the river. One section of the river was dug very shallow, and Yang Guang ordered all the officials who dug this section to be tied up with more than 50 thousand migrant workers and buried alive on the shore. Objectively speaking, this grand canal, built with the sweat and sweat of countless working people, plays an important role in facilitating north-south transportation, promoting economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south, and being conducive to national reunification. From August of the first year of Daye (AD 605), Yang Guang made three voyages to Jiangdu through the Grand Canal. The big dragon boat he rides is 200 feet long and 45 feet high, with four floors up and down. The accompanying concubines, princes and monks and nuns took thousands of magnificent ships, end to end, stretching for more than 200 miles. There are more than 80,000 trackers pulling the boat, and there are cavalry escorts on both sides of the strait. The flag covers the sun and it is very lively. At night, the lights are bright and the drums are loud. Yang guang indulged in drinking and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the strait. People within 500 miles along the way were forced to provide food. When you can't finish eating precious and delicious food, you dig a hole while sailing. Many people were destroyed. One year, Yang Guang went north by land and took 500,000 troops to recruit migrant workers from more than a dozen counties. Dig Taihang Mountain and build roads. In order to protect his safety, more than one million people were recruited to build the Great Wall in 20 days. Although Yang Guang wasted manpower and financial resources in digging the Grand Canal, it played an important role in the next thousand years. Pi Rixiu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "This river is a thousand miles away. If there is no dragon boat in the temple, there is not much merit in talking with Yu. "

When he arrived in the north, there was no palace there. He ordered Yuwen Kai, a skilled craftsman, to build a movable palace called Guan Fengxing Hall. It can accommodate hundreds of people, can be assembled and disassembled at any time, and the wheels can rotate below. Yang Guang waged three wars against Korea. On the Korean peninsula, the strongest in the Sui Dynasty were Korea, Baekje and Silla. After Yang-ti succeeded to the throne, it was impossible to recruit the king of Korea into the DPRK, and Yang-ti led the army to conquer it. In the eighth year of Daye (AD 6 12), Yang Guang conquered for the first time. Before sending troops, he collected a large number of craftsmen to build large ships in Donglai Haikou (now Ye County, Shandong Province). Artisans were forced to work day and night in the water, maggots were born below the waist, and three or four out of ten died. He also recruited migrant workers and ships to the south of Jianghuai, and transported grain from Liyang warehouse and Luokou warehouse to Zhuo Jun. Ship after ship, which lasted more than 1000 miles. There are often hundreds of migrant workers and soldiers running on the road. Many people fell dead on the side of the road, and the bodies smelled bad. After getting ready, Sui Jun1100,000 people attacked North Korea by sea and land, and only 2,700 people fled back.

In the first month of the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang conquered Korea for the second time, and in April Yang Di crossed the Liaohe River again. In June, Hsuan Yang began to attack Luoyang, and Yang-ti had to retreat for fear. In the decade of Great Cause (AD 6 14), domestic peasant uprisings swept across the country. Yang-ti wanted to win the world and reverse the fate of peril. Conquered Korea for the third time. But at that time, peasant rebels were everywhere, and the recruited soldiers could not reach because of the impassable roads; Or run all the way. As a result, not enough people marched, so we had to make peace with North Korea and retreat. At the same time, in order to show the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang lured envoys and businessmen from the western regions into the DPRK, and the counties and counties along the way were ordered to spend huge sums of money to see them off. In 6 10, envoys and businessmen from various countries in the western regions gathered in Luoyang. From the 15th night of the first month, Yang Guang ordered a large theater to be built on the street outside Duanmen. The theater was 5,000 steps around and there were as many musicians as18,000 people. Music can be heard dozens of miles away, and the lights are as bright as day, playing until the end of the month. People from the western region went to the eastern city of Luoyang to do business. Yang Guang ordered the businessmen in this city to decorate the city and accumulate precious goods. Businessmen are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and even the vegetable sellers in the stalls have to use dragon whiskers to lay the floor. When people from the western regions pass by the wine and food shops, the shopkeepers ask them to sit down and eat and drink for free. He also said that the Sui Dynasty was rich, and wine and food didn't spend money as usual. The trees in the city are also decorated with silk to show their wealth. The westerners asked, "You also had naked poor people in the Sui Dynasty. Why not use these silks to make clothes for them, but use them to wrap trees for nothing? " People in the city are speechless. In this way, the huge wealth and people's strength accumulated during the period of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty were squandered and consumed endlessly by Yang Guang. Endless corvee and military service forced thousands of farmers in Qian Qian to leave their homes. A large number of fields were deserted, and farmers could not live, so they had to eat bark and leaves, and even the tragedy of cannibalism occurred. Yang guang has neither faith nor faith.

In 6 15, he went to the northern border again. Hundreds of thousands of Turkish cavalry suddenly attacked and besieged him in Yanmen (now Dai Xiao County, Shaanxi Province). He can only take his youngest son, Levin, crying day and night, helpless. Finally, he accepted the suggestion of Su Wei and others, issued an imperial edict, promised not to send troops to attack Korea again, and offered a reward for recruiting soldiers. County magistrates from all over the country subscribed in succession and led the troops to ask for help before he was rescued. However, after he returned to Luoyang, he broke his promise, refused to give him a reward, and ordered another attack on North Korea. Yang Guang's tyranny finally aroused the peasant uprising. However, Yang Guang still refused to restrain himself, remained extravagant and cruel, and refused the suggestions of his officials. He thought he was brilliant and said to his courtiers, "People say I just inherited my predecessor's legacy. In fact, even if I am more talented than a scholar-bureaucrat, I should be an emperor. " He added, "I don't like being lectured by nature. If they are dignitaries and want to gain fame by remonstrating, I will spare them. If it is an ordinary person, I can spare him some, but I will never let him have a future. " Is the founding hero tall? G, He Ruobi, Yu Wenbi and other dignitaries were executed by Yang-ti for libel because they were dissatisfied with the extravagance of Yang-ti. In 6 16 AD, he visited Jiangdu again, regardless of the safety of the Sui Dynasty. When he was about to leave, Cui Xiangmin, a small official, went to the table to protest and killed him. When he went to Xishui (now Xingyang County, Henan Province), Wang Airen, a small official, went to the table to remonstrate. He killed Wang Airen and moved on. In Du Liang (now Kaifeng, Henan), someone blocked the way and wrote a letter saying that if you have to go to Jiangdu, the world won't be yours. He killed the writer again, and finally, he came to Jiangdu. The bonfire of the peasant uprising has intensified. Yang Guang had a premonition that the end was coming, and he was always afraid. He can't sleep at night, and he often screams that there are thieves in his sleep. It takes several ladies-in-waiting to coax and caress like children to fall asleep. One night, Daye Temple caught fire. He thinks the peasant army killed him. He hurried into the west garden and hid in the grass. He didn't dare to come out until the fire was extinguished. After fleeing to Jiangdu, he became more dissolute. He built 100 temples in the palace, and many beautiful women lived in each house. Every day, he takes a room as his master. He took more than 1000 concubines and maids to drink and got drunk all day. He doesn't want to hear bad news, but it still can't get rid of his heart. He often said to Xiao Huanghou, "There are many people out there who want to count me in, so leave him alone and drink happily." Once, he picked up a mirror and looked at it for a long time. He said to Xiao Huanghou, "I don't know who will cut this skull?" Xiao Huanghou asked him in horror why he said so. He forced a smile and said, "There is no fixed number of joys and sorrows, so beheading is nothing." Of course, he doesn't want to do nothing. Seeing that most of the land in the Sui Dynasty had been controlled by rebels, Sui Jun could only be trapped in several isolated cities, such as Luoyang and Jiangdu. Fearing that Jiangdu was unsafe, he planned to move the capital to Danyang in the south of the Yangtze River (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province) and ordered people to build a palace for him. Yang guang's guards are all from Guanzhong, and they have long resented Yang-ti's long-term residence in Jiangdu. Now that he is moving south, they all miss their relatives in their hometown more and more, and plan to flee back to their hometown one after another. At this time, their morale is floating and they are alienated from each other.

In the 14th year of Daye (AD 6 18), on March 3rd, Yu, a young military supervisor, took the opportunity to push General Right Tunwei to incite the soldiers, changed his clothes and fled to Xige in the evening. Rebels Pei Gantong, Ethan and Ma Wenju learned from the ladies-in-waiting. The rebel side said, "You are militaristic, playful, extravagant and extravagant. You believe in evil and don't listen to advice, resulting in men dying in the battlefield, women and children dying in the wild, people losing their livelihood and chaos in the world. You still say that you are not guilty? " Yang Guang said: "I am really sorry for the people. As for you, you and I enjoyed all the glory together. I'm not sorry for you. Who has the final say in today's affairs? " The rebel general said, "Everyone in the world hates you for being a bad king, and it's not just one person in charge." Say that finish, come forward to pull Yang guang down the cabinet. At this time, the traitor Feng Deyi came to preach Yu Wenhuaji's order and said, "This stupid king doesn't need to be brought to see me, so kill him quickly." Xiao Huanghou pleaded: "The emperor is really not virtuous, but for his past kindness to you, please ask him to step aside, reduce it to three, and let him live." The rebels led by Pei Gantong refused and raised their knives to kill Yang Guang. Yang guang shouted, "Don't start work, let me drink poisoned wine and commit suicide." Pei Gantong is not sure, saying that poisoned wine is not as easy as a blade. Yang guang cried and said, "I am the son of heaven, so let me keep a whole body." After taking off his towel belt, Ma Wenju strangled him in the back room with the towel belt and the soldiers. Afterwards, Xiao Huanghou told the maid-in-waiting to remove the bed and make a coffin, and temporarily buried Yang Guang's body. Soon, Yu Wenhuaji buried him in the Wu Palace to the west of Jiangdu Palace. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it was moved and buried next to Tang Lei.
