Did Emperor Yang Di really say that "anything can be done except those who gave birth to me and raised me"?

I think my friends are familiar with the characters in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially those who have seen the film and television works in this period, and they all have a feeling of admiration for the heroes at that time, and the opposite of these heroes is Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who is said to be very fatuous and lewd. What I want to share with you today is the story of Emperor Yang Di of Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang is an incompetent monarch and leads a decadent life.

Everyone's impression of Yang Di is mostly that he is incompetent and has a luxurious life. There are other ladies in his court, and 3,000 beautiful women even boast that for him, everyone can leave it to him except the one who gave birth to him.

However, whether such frivolous and dissolute remarks really came from his mouth has not been explored too much, because after all, the inheritance of the Sui Dynasty was destroyed in his hands, and it is not groundless to say that he is so, but in fact, the emperor Yang Di in history is really not what everyone thinks.

In fact, true historical records show that Yang Guang was a king with great achievements. During his reign, he reformed the country, but for various reasons, it caused social unrest, and the dynasty declined and died soon after its existence. As for Yang Guang's achievements, the Grand Canal is well known. During his reign, he also went to war many times and worked hard for the country.

Yang Guang, who just ascended the throne, is young and vigorous, is in the golden stage, full of ambitions for the future of the country, and vows to build the Sui Dynasty into a prosperous dynasty beyond its predecessors. From this point of view, Yang Guang doesn't look like the hedonist described in the film and television drama. On the contrary, he spent all his thoughts on the construction of the country.

But it is because of Yang Guang's youthful spirit that he lacks the calmness of the elders.

In the face of many things, they are too impatient to pursue results, but they end up poor, especially when building canals. Because Yang Guang was eager to build this great achievement and invested too much money and manpower, the country was empty and didn't notice it. He also abandoned the most important army, which made everyone dissatisfied and caused turmoil. By the time he realized it, the country was already vulnerable and in chaos. Coupled with the heavy casualties caused by the construction of the canal, people hold a grudge against him.

As the old saying goes, to stabilize the country, we must stabilize the people. Yang Guang only paid attention to the establishment of political achievements, and lost the hearts of the people, which eventually led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Yang Guang has both advantages and disadvantages, and his attitude towards a country is correct. Everything takes into account the development of the country, but he has invested too much energy in one aspect and failed to consider more aspects. It can't be said that he has made great achievements in the future, but his achievements should not be underestimated.

Such a person in yet I feel the harmonious heart-beat of the Sacred Unicorn will naturally not lead a dissolute life, and what he said is not what he said.

Therefore, the above-mentioned sentence is not from Yang Guang himself. Besides his achievements, other historical facts can also prove it. Emperor Yang Di lived for 59 years, but according to records, during his reign, there were only five or six women around him. Compared with other emperors, how can he be called dissolute? Moreover, the number of his children is only six, and Yang Guang was only in his early thirties when he began to reign, which was the age when men were full of energy. If he is really as dissolute as the film and television drama says, his children are more than that.

Numerous evidences can prove that Yang Guang is not a luxury person, so he would never say such absurd things.

The real evaluation of Yang Guang's image is mostly in later generations, especially in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, in order to consolidate his position, the king of the Tang Dynasty constantly vilified the image of the former dynasty, especially Yang Guang, who had perished in the country, so he portrayed Yang Guang as a bad king. Later novels were described according to popular sayings, which formed a unanimous view of Yang Guang.
