Why did Emperor Wen of Sui, the founding emperor of Sui Dynasty "bury himself": the death of Yang Jian.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Wendi was diligent in political affairs, made great efforts to govern the country, made the country rich and strong, and made the national treasury stable, which contributed to the situation of "ruling the country by the emperor". He is a monarch with many achievements in history. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty married Dugu and had five sons: the eldest son Yong Yang, the second son Yang Guang, followed by Yang Jun, Yang Xiu and Yang Liang. In 58 1 year, Emperor Zhou of the Sui Dynasty said that after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the emperor made Yong Yang the prince and named Yang Guang the king of Jin.
Yong Yang was fond of learning since childhood, gentle in temperament, good at ci and fu, and was deeply loved by Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. According to the principle of "standing upright", Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty proclaimed himself emperor, and later made Yong Yang the prince. After Yong Yang was made a prince, he was allowed to participate in the adjudication of military affairs and penalties below the death penalty. Whenever something goes wrong in politics, he puts forward different opinions and corrective measures. Wendi Deng agrees with him and often adopts his opinions. However, Yong Yang is kind and frank, stubborn in honesty and frankness, unable to handle affairs, and likes ostentation and extravagance. Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty was strict with himself, tolerant of others, thrifty in housekeeping, opposed to luxury, and was very dissatisfied with Yong Yang's style. He taught Prince Yong Yang: "No one can rule the world in luxury for a long time. As a prince, you should first advocate thrift. "
On one occasion, officials came to Korea, and Yong Yang gave a banquet to welcome them, which made Wendi very disgusted. From then on, Emperor Wendi's affection for Yong Yang gradually declined. In addition, Queen Dugu doesn't like her eldest son Yong Yang, but prefers her second son Yang Guang. Yuanshi County, the concubine of Prince Yong Yang, was chosen by the Queen Dugu. The Yuan family was also a big clan in the Northern Dynasties, and they made friends with Yang Jiacheng. Yuanshi County is honest, but plain, sickly and barren, so he can't get the favor of Prince Yong Yang. On the pretext that he had no son, he chose more side rooms and more pets, especially Yun's concubine, which was named by Yong Yang. Yuan Fei died suddenly of a heart attack. Queen Dugu suspected that Prince yuanshi county and Yun were responsible for the death of the princess. After her death, Li was asked to become a formal princess, but the Queen Dugu just didn't agree. The queen wanted to choose another princess for the prince, and Yong Yang said she wouldn't marry another woman. In this way, the mother and son are deadlocked. The Queen disliked Yong Yang even more, and even provoked the affection between Wendi Deng and Yong Yang.
Just as Prince Yong Yang was falling out of favor with his parents, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was very good at putting on an act. He and his brother Yong Yang are just the opposite. Yang Guangsheng is handsome, smart and diligent. Treat people with extraordinary modesty. He knew that his mother was jealous, so he lived a humble and simple life up and down the Jin Palace. On one occasion, Emperor Wendi of Sui "raided" Yang Guang's mansion, and everything in front of him made him sigh: in several study rooms of Yang Guang, most of the strings of musical instruments were broken and dusty, which seemed to have been completely abandoned for a long time. This time, he mistakenly thought that the emperor didn't like kabuki music, and he succeeded. He even remembered the time when the emperor was caught in the rain while hunting with him, and the soldiers were soaked, but the emperor didn't want to wear the tung oil raincoat handed over from left to right. The scene moved him for a long time. This day's patrol once again strengthened his confidence in Huang Er Yang Guang.
In this way, Yang Guang not only won the favor of his parents, but also won the praise of ministers, and his reputation became higher and higher. At the same time, Yang Guang secretly instructed his henchmen Su Yang to praise Yang Guang's achievements in front of his father and mother, and to talk more about the faults of Prince Yong Yang. In this way, Emperor Wendi of Sui finally came up with the idea of abolishing Prince Yong Yang and making Yang Guang the Prince. But the abolition of legislation was a great event, and Emperor Wen secretly sent people to observe the behavior of the prince. On one occasion, Emperor Wen of Han sent Su Yang to visit the Prince. Su Yang came to the East Palace and deliberately stayed outside the door for a long time to make the prince wait, so as to irritate him. Sure enough, the prince was very dissatisfied. Su Yang came back and told Emperor Wendi that Yong Yang resented Emperor Wendi and dared not rebel. It is also said that when Emperor Yang Yong of the Sui Dynasty was leaving Chang 'an for Renshou Palace, he launched a mutiny in the capital, killed the minister and fabricated many charges. Hearing these slanders, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty became more suspicious of Prince Yong Yang. At this time, Yang Guang's confidant made Yuan Chong think that the time was ripe, so he said to Wendi under the pretext of astronomical phenomena: "I think astronomy, the crown prince should be abolished." Wendi Deng believed it. In 600, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty abolished Prince Yong Yang as Shu Ren and made Yang Guang as Prince.
Yang Guang used the complex feelings of Emperor Wen's longing to be a prince and hating iron not to produce, to sow discord and try his best to overthrow Yong Yang and make himself a justified prince.
In the first month of the fourth year of Renshou (604), Emperor Wendi of Sui left the capital, went to Renshou Palace to recuperate, and entrusted state affairs to Prince Yang Guang. Sui Wendi was old and weak, and soon fell ill at Renshou Palace, and his condition became increasingly serious. Just in case, he ordered the minister to go to the capital to summon the prince.
Accompanied by Zuo Assistant Minister, Ministry of War Shangshu, Huangmen Assistant Minister and accompanying guards, the Prince arrived at Renshou Palace on a starry night and went to visit Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty that night. When Emperor Wendi of Sui fell asleep, Yang Guang and others asked about the imperial secretary's situation. After learning something, they all rested. The next morning, Yang Guang and others saw Emperor Wen of Sui again. Emperor Wen of Sui lay in bed with his eyes slightly open. After a few words with them weakly, he ordered to step down.
When Yang Guang arrived at the hall, he couldn't be calm for a long time. Thinking that Emperor Wendi of Sui was terminally ill, he would soon die, and he himself would ascend to the throne of the emperor. Unable to restrain his inner joy, he wrote a letter to Su Yang asking what he should do after Emperor Wendi died. Su Yang wrote back immediately after reading the letter, detailing the measures that should be taken after the death of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. Unexpectedly, this letter from Su Yang to Yang Guang was mistakenly sent to Wendi by imperial secretary. Emperor Wen was furious after reading it, and rebuked Yang Guang for being a black sheep.
At this time, Yang Guang, who was appointed to serve his father Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, was actually waiting for death. In the garden, he met a stunning woman, Mrs. Chen Xuanhua, who was favored by Emperor Wen in her later years. Chen is my sister. She is beautiful and shy. Yang guang saw me * * * burn us, * * with, want to * * * her. Emperor Wen was furious after hearing this, which really saw the true face of Yang Guang. He sat up from his hospital bed and kept cursing: "How can such an animal entrust state affairs!" " Urgent call Liu Shu and Yan Yuan into the palace, so that they immediately wrote to abolish Yang Guang and make Yong Yang a prince. When Su Yang heard this, he quickly found Yang Guang and told him the contents of the imperial edict. Yang guang is very worried. When Su Yang saw this situation, she spoke her mind quietly. Yang guang was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately ordered it to be done.
Immediately, Yang Guang ordered the soldiers of the Eastern Palace to enter the Forbidden City, arrested Liu Shu and Yan Yuan, and replaced the Imperial Palace with the Eastern Palace. Under the command of generals Yuwen Shu and Guo Si, these guards blocked all the passages of Renshou Palace. Yang Guang also ordered that no one should enter or leave Renshou Palace without his permission. After arrangement, Yang Guangpa Zuo Shu's son Zhang Heng directly entered the bedroom of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. Zhang Heng asked all the people around Wendi to leave, and he took care of it. Mrs. Chen Xuanhua and many ladies-in-waiting were rushed to other rooms. After a while, Zhang Heng came out of Wendi's bedroom and shouted, "The emperor is dead. Why didn't you report earlier? " Hearing this, all the people were trembling and silent. In fact, Wendi was killed by Zhang Heng. It is said that Zhang Heng walked into Wendi's bedroom and drove everyone away, so he pulled Wendi out of bed and stabbed him with a knife. The screen was dyed red with blood, and Wendi's screams could be heard far outside the palace.
Soon, Yang Guang ascended the throne, the most dissolute and heartless emperor in the history of Yang Di. In just over ten years, it destroyed the Sui empire that Wendi had painstakingly managed for decades.
