How did Yang Guang become the prince
There are several legends about how Yang Guang became the prince. Some people say that in the first year of Kaihuang (581), Emperor Wen of Sui once invited a named Laihe, Mr. , secretly met his five sons, and then shared them with the five princes and said to Emperor Wen of Sui: " King of Jin (referring to Yang Guang) both bones on his eyebrows are raised, which is indescribable."
Some people say that it was actually Yang Guang who used a trick to deceive Emperor Wen of Sui. Emperor Wen of Sui often went to and from Yang Guang's residence to see what Yang Guang was doing. Once, Emperor Wen saw a piano in Yang Guang's room. The strings were broken and dust was accumulated on it. Therefore, Emperor Wen of Sui thought that Yang Guang was a person who was not good at speaking. Another time, Yang Guang led his entourage out to hunt. It suddenly started raining on the way. The servants on both sides hurriedly put the rain poncho on Yang Guang, but Yang Guang refused. Emperor Wen of Sui later learned about this and praised him for his kindness and filial piety. Although these were Yang Guang's plans, Emperor Wen of Sui looked at him differently, so the position of crown prince naturally belonged to him.

Yang Guang once secretly made a wooden man. The wooden man's hands were tied up, and a nail was nailed to the point where he said, "The fifth son of Emperor Wen of Sui King of Han Yang Liang's name, and ordered people to bury it under Mount Hua, and then sent Yang Su to dig it out and hand it over to Emperor Wen of Sui.

Unexpectedly, the letter Yang Su gave to Yang Guang was mistakenly given to Emperor Wen of Sui by the palace servant. Emperor Wen of Sui was so angry that he almost died.
