In 569 AD, the Northern Zhou general Yang Jian and his wife Dugu welcomed their second son. The couple were very happy to name Yang Guang .
In this war-torn period, the word "broad" can be said to be the high hopes of the couple for their children's future.
In 580 AD, the Northern Zhou emperor (Yang Jian's son-in-law) died. A grandson who was only 8 years old was not suitable for the government, so Yang Jian successfully replaced him as the new emperor, changed his country's name to Sui Dynasty , and was called Emperor Wen of Sui .
Northern Zhou fell into the hands of Yang, Dugu became the queen, and their children all became princes. Yang Guang was 12 years old that year.
Almost all palaces will experience endless changes in imperial power, without exception, the same is true for the Sui Dynasty.
When Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian and his family enjoyed the joy brought by their new life, no one would have thought that the 12-year-old Yang Guang around them would be the endorsement of their destiny.
When he grew up, the children of Emperor Wen of Sui were rewarded. The eldest brother Yang Yong got the position of crown prince, and the second son Yang Guang was named King of Jin .
Yang Yong and Yang Guang are two people with completely different personalities. Yang Yong is relatively high-profile and proud. Yang Guang was cunning and good at hiding.
Yang Guangshen was dissatisfied with his brother Yang Yong as the prince. However, it was not revealed, but seized the opportunity to carefully plan to successfully move my brother down in 600 AD and take the position of crown prince.
Yang Guang is an ambitious person. His purpose is not just to be the prince, but to finally sit on the dragon throne.
After becoming the prince, Yang Guang relied on his identity and his mother was the queen, and he did things unscrupulously and violated the interests of many people. It made his brothers and sisters stand opposite him because they didn't want such people to ride on their heads in the future to show off their power.
But what should come will come. Yang Guang caused trouble in the palace and led troops to kill all the unfavorable factors in the cradle. He also forced his own sister to death Princess Lanling .
even in order to stabilize his position as the prince, he falsely passed the imperial edict and sentenced his eldest brother Yang Yong to death. Former Crown Prince Yang Yong refused to commit suicide, so he came forward and strangled him to death, which shows his ruthlessness.
In 602 AD, Yang Guang's biological mother Empress Dugu passed away, and his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, was not worried but happy.
When Empress Dugu was alive, she was more restricted by Emperor Wen of Sui and did not allow him to over-search beauties or recruit concubines. Therefore, when she passed away, Emperor Wen of Sui let himself go and finally could be free to pomegranate skirt , of course he would not feel sad.
Soon after, Emperor Wen of Sui found two peerless beauties, both of whom were from Chen in the previous dynasty.
One is the sister of the late master of Chen State Chen family , and the other is the Cai family, an ordinary girl from Danyang, Chen State.
These two graceful and unparalleled, were deeply favored by Emperor Wen of Sui and were named concubines soon.
In 604 AD, Emperor Wen of Sui was seriously ill and handed over major affairs in the court to Yang Guang for handling. He was recuperating in Renshou Palace.
As a son, Yang Guang often came to see him. The two concubines who often served him after Emperor Wen of Sui were sick were Chen and Cai.
After a while, Yang Guang actually coveted the two mothers and had inappropriate thoughts about them.
But Yang Guang still has concerns. After all, his father is still there, so it is always a bit bad to insist on doing something.
Day after day, Yang Guang's heart has never been calm as if it is tickling.
That day, he came to Renshou Palace to visit Emperor Wen of Sui. As soon as he walked to the palace gate, he saw his mother Chen coming out of the bedroom and walking towards the changing room without any followers.
Yang Guang guessed that she should be preparing to leave the palace. Thinking that the opportunity came, he told the guard not to follow. Then he followed Chen happily into the changing room.
When the two of them entered the changing room together, Chen was shocked. But she doesn't have the real power like the prince, so she can fight with a weak force. She could guess what the prince wanted, but she didn't dare to resist.
The prince walked to Chen in three steps and hugged her waist, and removed her coat. Just when I was about to continue, I heard someone outside reading the decree of Emperor Wen of Sui and asked Chen to go to the sickbed to serve.Yang Guang returned home in disappointment and beat his chest and stamped his feet.
When Chen came to the sickbed, his panicked expression and his failure to wear neatly clothes attracted the attention of Emperor Wen of Sui. He hurriedly asked what happened, but Chen could not find a statement, so he had to tell the truth: it was the prince who was rude.
Emperor Wen of Sui scolded Yang Guang as an animal and planned to summon ministers to punish Yang Guang severely.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Yang Guang was also anxious and quickly found a counselor to ask what to do. One of them offered a plan: Now there is only one plan, either the prince or the emperor. If you are not able to ride a tiger, you can do something to kill the dragon!
roughly means that only one of the prince and his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, can survive. The best way is to kill Emperor Wen of Sui.
When Yang Guang heard this, he made up his mind and immediately sent Zhang Heng into the palace to kill his father. He also forged an emperor's will and successfully ascended the long-awaited throne and became the Emperor Yang of Sui .
As soon as Emperor Wen of Sui died, Yang Guang was exposed in nature and took possession of the two mothers of Chen and Cai that night, which was really outrageous.
Looking back on Yang Guang's life, his 14-year career in imperial power was not only created by creating the imperial examination system and building the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal , but he could not find any achievements.
He is cruel in the struggle for power and position, and he is inhumane to harm his relatives. He is also an absolute demon.
