Chapter 6 The Wolf's Ambition
"The known ending, the crown prince was abolished, and he came to power. Unfortunately, the position of a crown prince is not enough to support his ambition. At this time, he has become the ambition of the emperor. He wants to be the king, and he wants the supreme seat."

"Yang Guang ordered his cronies to poison Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty in the middle of the night. After Yang Jian died, Yang Guang ascended the throne smoothly, but in order to avoid future troubles, he then killed his elder brother Yang Yong and abolished his younger brother Yang Xiu, king of Shu, as a commoner. Imprison young brother Yang Liang."

"Come here! Bring Yang Guang here!" Yang Jian gasped, while Dugu Jialuo was comforting him. She didn't expect that her son, who had always been so filial, was actually all in disguise.

"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did a lot of good deeds after he ascended the throne. After seizing the throne, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty took a series of measures to
The following orders abolished the school service of women, slaves and tributaries; postponed the age of male adulthood; shortened the period of service.He also inherited his father Yang Jian's policy of consolidating the Sui Empire and strengthening the centralization of power. He vigorously established schools and established the Jinshi Department. disadvantages.

In order to control the vast area of ​​​​Kantong, he successively mobilized hundreds of thousands of laborers, dug trenches for defense, and built checkpoints.Then in March of the first year of Daye, he ordered the construction of a north-south Grand Canal with a length of more than [-] miles from Zhuojun in the north to Yuhang in the south. It was completed in the sixth year of Daye.

The excavation of the Grand Canal facilitated the transportation between the north and the south, and made it easier for the imperial court to control the Jiangnan area. At the same time, it also played a great role in the economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south. "

"Even if this canal is taken to my current flower-growing country, it will have a great impact. This is the work of Emperor Sui Yang."

Qin Shihuang: This Yang Guang is better than my son.

Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty: Your Majesty Zulong, it's too early for you to tell me. You haven't finished the introduction yet.

Big Han Liu Bang: As an emperor, this feat can be left to future generations, and he did a good job. I really don’t know how exciting the content behind it is.

In Liu Bang's plane, he was sitting in a high position. He looked at this revelation and clicked his tongue, looking fascinated.

"This time Yang Jian noticed a person on the screen, Tang Dynasty Li Shimin, Li Yuan's son at this time! Last time he didn't pay attention, Li Shimin ascended the throne, then his Great Sui, didn't he die in the second generation?"

"Thinking of this, Yang Jian spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out immediately."

Dugu Jialuo immediately panicked, "Come here, call the imperial doctor quickly."

Yang Guang was also escorted over at this time. Dugu Jialuo saw his son's hands shaking angrily, "Yang Guang, hello! You are fine!"

Yang Guang knelt down, trembling with fright, "Mother!"

At this time, Yang Jian was also rescued, and Dugu Jialuo quickly supported him. The two of them ignored the two sons kneeling on the ground and continued to look at the light screen.

"He has done a lot of good things, so why is he called a tyrant?"

"Not long after Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, his life gradually became luxurious. He carried out large-scale construction projects and built luxurious palaces. He ordered the collection of exotic materials and stones from the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Five Ridges, and transported them to Luoyang. He also collected famous flowers and rare birds from all over the world. The beasts came to decorate the garden. The Xiyuan he built in Luoyang has a radius of 200 miles. There is an artificial sea for more than ten miles in the garden. There are fairy mountains, pavilions and pavilions in the sea. It is extremely gorgeous. The flowers and trees in the garden withered in autumn and winter and were painted again. The silk was cut into flowers and leaves for decoration. There were thousands of dragon boats he used when traveling in Jiangdu, and there were more than 9000 boatmen for fiber pulling alone, all dressed in jade-colored robes."

"People from the Western Regions asked to trade in the city of Ly. He also ordered the city to make a show of pomp and circumstance, even wrapping silk ribbons around trees to show luxury. Even people from the Western Regions asked: "There are also poor people in China who cannot cover their clothes. Why? With such a thing attached to it, what is the use of the entangled tree?" [Note: See Volume [-] of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"]

Song Dynasty Zhao Kuangyin: This is more luxurious than me.

Daming Zhu Di: Otherwise, your descendants of the Song Dynasty are so incompetent, they only know luxury.

Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty: The fourth child?

Daming Zhu Di: ...

"If you say that Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, actually learned the tricks of the first emperor, he went on a southern tour!"

So an unprecedentedly large fleet with tens of thousands of ships set off, covering a length of more than two hundred miles. In addition to letting the soldiers pull the ships themselves, they also hired more than [-] civilian men to pull the boats.

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty lived a decadent life and brutally exploited the people; he imposed heavy taxes and servitude. Every time he went on a tour, the prefectures and counties within hundreds of miles along the way had to offer food. If he couldn't finish it, he would bury it."

Throw it away?

These few words were like thunder, beating Emperor Wen of Sui's mind so hard that he almost couldn't stand still.

What a frugal person he was. However, his child, his proud second son, gave him a heavy blow.

Tens of thousands of dragon boats stretching for more than a hundred miles, what kind of extravagance and waste is this, what kind of extravagance?
The light curtain continues,

"If you donate a lot of money to get promoted, you will be condemned and even killed if you don't like it. Therefore, the officials desperately exploit the people. What's more serious is the endless corvee and military service."

From 605 to 611, he continuously conscripted labor to dig long trenches, build the West Garden, build the East Capital, open canals, repair the Great Wall, cut wood and build ships, and open mountain passages, often employing 200 million people every month.Because there were not enough men, women were forced to serve, leading to starvation and deprivation for the people. "

"He has been in office for 14 years and has only been in Beijing for one year. It is conceivable that the people are oppressed and the court is in chaos."

"In the seventh year of the great cause, a peasant uprising led by Wang Bo first broke out in Changbai Mountain, Shandong. Afterwards, peasant uprisings broke out one after another across the country, and great changes took place within the imperial court. Yang Xuangan, Minister of the Ministry of officials, rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in Liyang, which promoted the The development of the peasant uprising shook the ruling foundation of the Sui Dynasty."

"These canals, those luxurious palaces, and the dragon boats that are more than a million miles long were all built up by these people with their lives. Under the canals, there are piles of bones. How can the people not explode, how can the Great Sui Dynasty not be destroyed."

"In July of the 12th year of Daye, there was complete chaos in the north. Emperor Sui Yang led a group of concubines and ministers to flee to Jiangdu. However, he still did not repent. For more than a year after that, he ignored the government affairs and lived a life of dissipation and extravagance."

"The Xiaoguo guards who followed Emperor Yangdi to Jiangdu saw that the Sui Dynasty was gone, and they missed their hometown day and night. So, one night in March of the 14th year of Daye, the guard generals Sima Dekan, Yuan Li and Fei Qiantong, etc., pushed General Yu Wenhuaji of Youtunwei led a mutiny and hanged Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. In August of the same year, Jiangdu prefect Chen Lengcai moved Yang Guang to be buried under Wu Gongtai in the west of Jiangdu city."

"Perhaps Yang Guang has been praised too highly. Coupled with his own luxury, this Gaoli didn't go to Hajj on time. This is not Yang Guang's eye."

"In the seventh year of the great cause, the first conquest began. Emperor Sui Yang issued an edict to gather all the troops from all over the world, regardless of the distance between the north and the south, they must meet in Zhuo County. A total of more than 100 million main battle soldiers were mobilized."
