Why was Yang Guang so determined to execute Li Yuan?

Yang Guang believed that Li Yuan was against him everywhere.

In fact, Li Yuan was wronged. Li Yuan just did what a minister should do. He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so he always considered the overall interests of the country, while Yang Guang actually considered his own personal interests.

Therefore, the interests of the two will conflict, and Yang Guang will feel:

Oh, why do you Li Yuan oppose me everywhere?

The reason why Yang Guang and Li Yuan became enemies was because when King Yang Guang of Jin went to destroy the Chen Dynasty, he obtained Zhang Lihua, the favored concubine of the Chen Dynasty. As you know, the favored concubines of every dynasty are very beautiful and coquettish, and this Zhang Lihua is not the same. exception.

Yang Guang was also a hot-blooded young man back then, so it was reasonable for him to be attracted to Zhang Lihua. For Yang Guang, this Zhang Lihua was the spoils of his victory in the battle to destroy Chen State, and he wanted to enjoy it.

Li Yuan said, no, no, this demon concubine was the main culprit for the Chen Dynasty’s downfall, and she must not be brought back to cause trouble for our dynasty. So Zhang Lihua was beheaded by Li Yuan.

That made Yang Guang so angry. Also, when Yang Guang was competing for the position of crown prince, he attracted court officials and bribed these Sui officials. When the future king of a country offered bribes to him, the officials would not dare not accept them, so they all accepted them.

Only Li Yuan, unlike others, refused Jin Wang Yang Guang's bribe. This made Yang Guang very angry again. Doesn't this Li Yuan know how to praise?

If the matter ends here, the problem is that Li Yuan not only refused to accept bribes, but also insisted on replacing the former prince when he was in trouble and was demoted to a commoner. The prince said good things. In this way, for Yang Guang, who has become the new prince, it is okay for Li Yuan not to help him, but he actually hinders him.

So Yang Guang’s hatred of Li Yuan is also related to one thing after another. After all, everything Li Yuan does is harmful to Yang Guang and harms his interests. The above is my opinion on this matter.
