Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 62 Desperate for quick success, the militaristic Yang Guang
[Although Yang Guang has a lot of faults, the history of the Sui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty has actually been distorted from the subjective political inclination of the historians.

Therefore, many people in later generations voiced their voices for Emperor Sui Yang. They believed: "Confucian historians' moral evaluation of Emperor Sui Yang is indeed too harsh." 】

"Merits and demerits, the descendants of Liberty say, alas." Seeing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but sighed, and the anger in his heart suddenly calmed down.

[However, it is undeniable that in China's culture that places great emphasis on filial piety, just the few things of "conspiring to seize the heir, killing his father and slaughtering his brother, and stealing his mother" can make Yang Guang eternally nailed to the shame Post! 】

[You know, even Li Shimin, a rare wise man, is often criticized for the Xuanwumen incident, let alone Yang Guang who did something worse than the Xuanwumen incident. 】

Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, looked like he was breaking a pot, and said, "Everything has been done. You can evaluate it as you like."

【Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, in the impression he gave to future generations, he is actually not quite the same as those authentic foolish emperors in history. 】

[For example, Song Huizong and Song Gaozong, they are more typical faint emperors, as is Tang Xuanzong in his later years. 】

Song Huizong Zhao Ji: "."

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji: "."

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou: "."

Zhao Ji and Li Longji obviously didn't expect that they had already been counted, and they would be pulled out by Su Qian to flog the corpse again.
As for Zhao Gou, he himself thinks that he should actually be ranked among the Mingjun. However, not only did he not enter the Mingjun, but he was on the ranking list of the Hunjun, and according to the current trend, his ranking is not low, which makes him very sad it hurts
[Yang Guang is actually very capable personally, and has an advanced strategic vision that surpasses most people. 】

When Yang Guang saw this, he suddenly felt like he had found a confidant, "It turns out that you, Su Qian, are the one who understands me best, and I am afraid that you are the only one who knows me."

[In the fourth year of Sui Renshou (AD 604), Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty passed away, and the temple name was Sui Shizu, and the new emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne in this year.

Yang Guang's mother, Dugu Jialuo, came from the famous Dugu family. Her grandfather was Dugu Xin, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty, and her grandfather Yang Zhong was the general of the Zhu Kingdom in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The families are all prominent wealthy families. 】

[Perhaps it is because of being born in such a wealthy family that Yang Guang is more aware of the dangers of a wealthy family to the imperial power and the country, which also made him determined to get rid of or even eliminate the family's powerful family! (The aristocratic families here mainly refer to the nobles of Guanlong)]

"How dare Yang Guang do this?"

"Presumptuous! Who gave him the courage?!"

"We thought this idiot was easy to control, but it seems that we were mistaken after all. We didn't expect this guy to hide so deeply!"

The Guanlong nobles who were born in the Southern and Northern Dynasties were actually very decadent by the time of Emperor Sui Yang.

These old ministers have huge power and great influence, which have greatly hindered the imperial power, and are a huge threat to the country and the people.

In fact, not only Emperor Sui Yang, but also his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, also deliberately weakened the power of the Guanlong nobles.It's just that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty still stayed at the stage of "thinking" for the time being, while Yang Guang boldly entered the stage of "doing".

[Yang Guang is a capable emperor, smart and crazy. 】

[Yang Guang can't be regarded as "one emperor through the ages", and can even be called a faint emperor or a tyrant, but at least he was not a waste emperor during his reign. 】

[In the early days of Yang Guang's accession to the throne, he made a lot of contributions in balancing various forces at home and abroad and maintaining national stability.

For example, the reform of the official system, the imperial examination system, the promulgation of the Daye Law, and the conquest of the Western Regions all played a positive role in the development and growth of the Sui Dynasty.

Even including the relocation and construction of the Eastern Capital, the connection to the Grand Canal has far-reaching political purposes and considerations, not just for one's own enjoyment.

Especially the Grand Canal, since the Sui Dynasty, has greatly facilitated transportation such as grain and water transportation, strengthened exchanges between the north and the south, and prospered the economy along the route. 】

[It's just that Yang Guang was too eager for quick success. In just a few years, he started a number of national projects one after another.

In other dynasties, each of these projects had to be carefully discussed and planned before it could be launched.

But in Yang Guang's case, it was actually started continuously, or even in parallel, which would hurt the muscles and bones, waste people and money, no matter what kind of economic conditions it was placed on, it would be impossible to bear it. 】

[Not only that, Yang Guang himself was not idle when the big project was in progress.

He personally likes to go on tours. During his reign, he visited Yangzhou three times, north of Saibei twice, Heyou once, and Zhuojun three times.

Moreover, during his travels, he especially liked to talk about ostentation, making it so loud that he was afraid that others would not know that he was released again. 】

[Yang Guangda implemented these reforms and investments in a leap forward. On the one hand, he broke the interests of some original classes, which has positive factors; but it also caused some vested interests to be damaged and lost some people's support for him.Yang Guang himself is very clear about these calculations hidden behind the facts, but he still did it. It can only be said that he is probably a ulterior motive. 】

Seeing this, Yang Guang yelled furiously: "F*ck you Suqian!! My plans are almost completely ruined by you, how do you tell me to deal with these aristocratic families in the future?!"

The others also seemed to have a little understanding, and immediately looked at this "faint lord" with admiration.

[Yang Guang's policy has its positive side, but on the other hand, he recruited troops to fight abroad, carried out infrastructure construction internally, and imposed excessive taxes. These measures have greatly consumed the country's finances and touched the foundation of the country.

The long-term large-scale consumption made the finances unable to make ends meet, made the people miserable, and the foundation of the country was shaken, which eventually triggered a rebound from the bottom of the society. Insurgents from all over the Sui Dynasty swarmed up! 】

[It’s hard to say how licentious Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was, because most emperors are actually similar in this respect, but Yang Guang’s target has some problems.

Yang Guang got married at the age of 14 and was killed at the age of 50. He had four sons (one died prematurely) and two daughters.Among the five surviving children, at least two sons and one daughter were born to Empress Xiao.

And Li Shimin, who later created the rule of Zhenguan, lived to be 51 years old, but left fourteen princes, 21 princesses, and the father of 35 children. Yang Guang's children are only a fraction of Li Shimin's. 】

Yang Guang nodded, and said, "Su Qian has said something fair this time, but he didn't expect that kid from the Li family to be so fierce in giving birth!"

"Isn't it a good thing for the royal family to spread its branches and leaves? Besides, this probably only shows that I am better than Yang Guang?" Li Shimin didn't care, and was even a little complacent.

[Yang Guang has only been in power for 14 years, which is just a short moment in the long history. 】

[Thanks to Yang Guang's extravagance, eagerness for quick success, and his three victorious victories in Korea, he finally completely detonated domestic conflicts.

The strength of the peasant uprisings in various places developed rapidly and grew stronger day by day, but he was unwilling to face up to the reality of the vigorous development of peasant uprisings, and the courtiers around him did not tell the truth, falsely claiming that the number of rebellious peasants was "fewer".

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang saw the chaos in the world, so he hid in Jiangdu without any intention of returning to the north, and was finally killed by the people around him. 】
