As we all know, the Sui Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty in the history of our country without much fault. The most controversial thing is that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty In his later years, he chose his second son Yang Guang when it came to choosing his successor. , rather than the capable and kind-hearted legitimate son Yang Yong .

So today we will return to this issue to see why Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty deposed Yang Yong, who was clearly his legitimate son, and chose Yang Guang as the crown prince?

In the history of ancient dynasties, the inheritance of the throne generally belongs to the first son born to the head wife. Ordinarily, Yang Yong at that time should be the legitimate prince. However, in his later years, he chose to choose his successor instead. The second son Yang Guang.

The main reasons are still these two points:

One is: Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was frugal and simple by nature, but Yang Yong added decorations to a gorgeous Shu armor. Emperor Wen was very unhappy because he felt that the emperor liked luxury in the country. It may not last long. As the future heir of the country, he should put economy first before inheriting the ancestral temple.

The second is: Empress Dugu chose Crown Princess Yuanshi for Crown Prince Yang Yong, but Yang Yong was particularly fond of Zhaoxun Yunshi and was very cold to Crown Princess Yuanshi, especially because Crown Princess Yuanshi had a heart disease and died in two days .

In fact, Yang Yong did not have much fault or mistake in nature, but he lost the trust of his parents.

And Yang Guang is very good at pretending. When he was a prince, his literary, military and military skills, character and frugality were much higher than that of Yang Yong (Yang Guang pretended to be very good, but in Yang Jian's heart, ruthlessness did not exist. ), who is good at managing interpersonal relationships and looks like a sage. Yang Jian established Yang Guang based on the principle of establishing virtuous people.

As a result, Yang Guang came to power and went militarily, building the Grand Canal and building the Eastern Capital. What others had done for generations, he insisted on completing it in one generation, and ended up bankrupting the Sui Dynasty.
