Sui Dynasty , a short-lived dynasty with 37 years of national fortune. The appearance of the Sui Dynasty is more like a foreshadowing for the magnificent debut of the Tang Dynasty, and an introduction is given.
Even the tyrannical and indulgent king of the subjugated country Emperor Yang of Sui is more "famous" than his father Emperor Wen of Sui .
However, in fact, Emperor Wen of Sui made great contributions to social development in his lifetime; And the process of his ascension to the throne is a legend of a generation.
It can be said that Yang Jian is the luckiest emperor. He had no intention of usurping the throne, but was hit by the crown. Since then, he has passed government decrees and measures to benefit the people and future generations. Let's get closer to this lucky emperor's journey to the throne.
was born in a famous family, with little ambition
was born in Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, Guanzhong famous family, Hongnong Yang's family . It is said that he is the great-great-grandson of Yang Zhen, the Han Taiwei. His father Yang Zhong is a high-ranking and influential person.
Yang Jian has a calm and resolute personality since he was a child, with very few words. In today's terms, it is learning to speak at birth, and learning to shut up for the rest of your life. At a very young age, Yang Jian knew that being born in a family of officials often leads to misfortune.
After Yang Jian entered Taixue, he worked hard day and night. Rigorous and prudent, silent and few words are the deepest impression he left on everyone, even his best friend never dared to tease him. At a young age, he already had big ambitions. But even the closest people on the left and right neighbors,Don't even think about getting half a sentence out of his mouth.
The legend of a generation begins. The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of the mouse can make a hole. Yang Zhong has a worthy and worthy son, who has long been known in the capital and is famous all over the world. So when Yang Jian was 14 years old, Jingzhaoyin Xue Shan hired him as a meritorious officer. This is a very impressive achievement among his peers. At the same time, Yang Jian, who was young, was baptized by the political whirlpool since he was a child, which laid a solid foundation for him to become a dragon and a phoenix in the future.
When Yang Jian was 18 years old, he was conferred by the Northern Zhou Ming Emperor as the Right Little Gongbo, and at the same time as the Duke of Daxing County. This was Yang Jian's first contact with the politics of the Central Dynasty, the core of the power in the world; it greatly shocked his heart. Also at the age of 18, most of today's children are going to school to face the college entrance examination. Yang Jian has already ascended to a high position, and he can see the majesty of the emperor's throne.
It was originally a refuge, but was ordered by heaven
Yang Jian's official career has been going smoothly since then. After Yang Zhong's death, Yang Jian inherited the title of Duke Suiguo of his father
by means of Jiupin Zhongzheng . Later, Emperor Wu of Zhou personally hired Yang Jian's daughter Yang Lihua as the crown prince, and Yang Jian was only one step away from the national husband. Later, King of Qi Yu Wenxian and Wang Gui of Nei Shi all accused Yang Jian of treason on the accusation of "unnecessary" without any reason, but Zhou Wudi was aware of the situation and did not convict him.
After Yang Jian heard about it, he became more respectful and cautious, and kept his mouth shut;
Later, Yang Jian personally led the sailors to expedition and defeated Northern Qi . Since then, his prestige has been increasing, one person is below ten thousand people, and his power is so great that no one can match it.
Not long after, Emperor Wu of Zhou died and Emperor Xuan of Zhou came to the throne. As we all know, since ancient times, the change of dynasties and the change of emperors will inevitably cause a storm of blood and rain -- killing unfaithful old ministers and establishing new dynasties. The new emperor is clearly skilled at this.
In addition, Yang Jian was an important official in the old dynasty, with a high position and high prestige; therefore, Emperor Xuan of Zhou was extremely afraid of Yang Jian's rebellion, and regarded Yang Jian as a thorn in the eye, and wished to kill him immediately.
Once in a harem competition, Emperor Xuan was furious and said to Empress Yang Lihua: You must destroy your family! then quickly summoned Yang Jian into the palace, ordered the left and right guards to prepare, and killed Yang Jian at any time. Who knew that Yang Jian Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his face, his face was flat, respectful and courteous, as if nothing had happened;
Emperor Xuan could not find any reason to kill him. If the important officials of the court are executed for no reason, people will be panicked and the world will be in chaos. Therefore, Yang Jian was able to retreat completely.
Yang Jian knew that if he stayed in the capital, he would die sooner or later. Then he spent a lot of money to buy the power officials Liu Fang and Zheng translation , and took the initiative to invite Ying to serve as the general manager of Bozhou .
Emperor Xuan wished him to go, Long Yan Da Yue, approved it immediately.
Who knew that Emperor Zhou Xuan had a thief's heart and no ambition, indulged in drinking songs all day long, doted on his concubines, even abdicated early, and passed it on to the young emperor Yu Wenchan .Not long after, the debauched and insane Emperor Zhou Xuan died because of his poor health.
God-given opportunity, the young emperor is weak, and the powerful ministers are in power, Yang Jian's chance to "superior" finally came.
At that time, Liu Fang and Zheng Yi quickly summoned Yang Jian to the palace in order to ensure their power and status. Prepare to let Yang Jian's pseudo-edict assist the government and seize the opportunity to seize power.
Unexpectedly, in the face of this crown that fell from the sky, Yang Jian did not express his intentions clearly, but used the excuse of loyalty and unintentionally usurped the throne. As soon as Liu Fang heard this, he hurriedly said: If you do it, do it immediately; if you don't do it, I will do it...
Big picture dominance.
Later, Emperor Jing announced that he would hand over the throne to Yang Jian. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Yang Jian set the country's name as "Sui", changed the Yuan Kaihuang, and granted amnesty to the world. The regime transitioned smoothly without large-scale armed conflict; a rare peace in the history of usurpation. Therefore, it is said that Yang Jian's throne was very easy to obtain.
Strive to govern, Kaihuang's rule
During his reign, Yang Jian took a series of measures to develop agriculture and commerce, abolished the old harsh criminal laws, and created new lenient laws. Then the world will be at peace, and people's hearts will follow.
Sui Wendi's actions are partly similar to Qin Shihuang . "The same track for the car, the same text for the book, unified weights and measures , unified currency" These familiar and clever operations,Emperor Wen of Sui had all of them. Even Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had the operation of unifying the world by Qin Shi Huang.
After Yang Jian stabilized the dynasty, he started targeting his old rivals Nan Chen and Xi Liang. Yang Jian sent Jin King Yang Guang , Yang Jun , Yang Su a total of more than 500,000 troops, divided into three routes, and fought hard against Chen. Chen Chao The border defense emergency document was detained by treacherous officials, so that they did not even know that the Sui Dynasty was calling; the army was stranded in the capital Jiankang, which has delayed the fighter. Under the leadership of Neiying, the latter three kings smashed Jiankang, the capital of Nanchen; Nanchen fell. The three kings returned with merit.
Later Emperor Wen of Sui sent envoys to appease the rebels in Lingnan, Mrs. Xian led the crowd to surrender. Since then, Emperor Wen of Sui has officially unified the whole country and achieved hegemony.
After that, Emperor Wen of Sui carried out a series of reforms, including the suspension of the Xianbei of customs and etiquette culture, and re-sinicization; the abolition of the unjust nine-grade Zhongzheng system, the first five provinces and six ministries; the compilation of " open" "Imperial Law", streamlined legislation and simplified penalties; cancelled the long-standing national monopoly system of salt and wine to benefit the people; reduced taxes for many times, the people's life was stable and the world was prosperous; the household registration was liquidated and the nationality was determined.
After a series of measures are implemented, the prosperity will come again. There is no need to pick up things in the world, people live a prosperous life, the population is growing rapidly, the power that the country can mobilize has greatly increased, and the country is rich and strong. History is known as the reign of the Kaihuang. According to folklore, Ming Jun is eternal.
Throughout the five thousand years of civilization, if the advance and retreat are appropriate, the ruler and ministers are righteous, and the world will be full of fear and prosperity. Emperor Wen of Sui perfectly grasped the technique of advancing and retreating. When it is time to retreat, stay away from the court; when it is time to advance, he assists the emperor and ascends the throne. Then it became an inextinguishable deed, which was praised by everyone.
