In 604 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne and became emperor, with his unique strategic vision, implemented the imperial examination system, dug the Grand Canal, excavated the Taihang Mountain, and expelled the Turks, making the Sui Dynasty strong in a short period of time.
However, his dedication to the country, even at the expense of killing his father and usurping the throne, wanted to complete the exploits of several generations in a short period of time, which eventually led to the people being exhausted and rebelling.
There was nothing wrong with his ideal goal, but he ignored the cruelty of reality and could only end in failure.
The Sui Dynasty's powerful ministers and Yu culture took advantage of the chaos to kill Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and occupied the peerless beauty Empress Xiao. However, few people know that after he founded the country and became the emperor, he also left a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages: "In life, there will be death, why not take the opportunity to be the emperor once?"
This sentence is similar to what Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said when they rebelled, "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?" "It's the same.
The Rise of Yu Culture: The Glorious Background of the Yuwen Family Yu Wenhua, as the grandson of Yu Wensheng, one of the eight Shangzhu states of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his family background is undoubtedly very prominent.
During the Sui Dynasty, his father was promoted to General Zuo Yiwei, and the family's prestige reached its peak. It is precisely because of this family background that Yu Wenhua was able to become close friends with Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty since he was a child, which also made him ignore the laws and regulations of the country when he was young or old.
Different from ordinary children, Yu Wenhua grew up in officialdom since childhood, is well versed in strategy, and the city government is very deep. On the surface, he was just a small follower of Emperor Yang of Sui, but in fact he had his own ideas and ambitions.
He and Yang Guang, the second son of Emperor Wen of Sui, were like-minded, and Yang Guang designed to frame his eldest brother in order to win the crown prince.
When Yang Guang became the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yu's status also rose. Even though Yu Wenhua's *** behavior was already well known, Yang Guang didn't care.
In Yang Guang's view, as long as Yu Wenhua does not touch his bottom line, ** will not be a problem. If he is able to work dutifully after receiving a certain amount of remuneration, he is not the kind of person who cannot tolerate the mistakes of others.
Yu Wenhua and his status in the court have reached their peak, and almost all decisions are handled by him. For the ministers and bigwigs who wanted to admonish him, he not only did not listen, but laughed at them.
He firmly believed that his decision was correct, and these old ministers, whose bodies had been half submerged in the loess, had no right to judge him.
However, there is danger behind happiness. Yu Wenhua actually began to have an affair with the Turks, which was as serious as treason for Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who aimed to expel the Turks.
In order to punish this behavior, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Yu Wenhua to be executed, but Princess Nanyang's plea allowed Yu Wenhua to escape the death penalty and was only imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
After nearly ten years in prison, the old man of the Yuwen family died, and Yang Guangcai released Yu Wenhua and arranged for him to serve as a young prisoner. And in the end, how did Yu Wenhua succeed in killing Emperor Yang Guang of Sui and occupying Empress Xiao?
This is just like what was said at the beginning of the article, although Emperor Yang of Sui's goal was ambitious, he ignored the practical problems, which eventually led to the people revolting and uprisings in various places. And Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty visited Jiangdu three times, making it impossible for him to return to the capital.
Disheartened, he began to numb himself with alcohol, and his life became more and more extravagant.
At the moment of turmoil, Sima Dejiao planned to defect, but after this news was known by Yu Wenhua, he made a bold suggestion: "The world is in turmoil, why not take this opportunity to raise things and establish immortal achievements?"
Sima Dejiao and many other generals deeply agreed with Yu Wenhua's idea, but rebellion is a big crime after all, and someone needs to take responsibility. After some thought, they decided to hand over this important task to Yu Wenhua.
After Yang Guang let Yu Wenhua go, he wanted to promote him again, but Yu Wenhua staged a coup d'état, forced Yang Guang to commit suicide, and took the Empress Xiao he had always loved for himself.
However, in troubled times, heroes can show their strengths, and villains like Yu Wenhua are destined to lose their foothold.
Yu Wenhua and his foreign conquests were defeated and retreated, and the family wealth accumulated by Sima Dejiao and others was almost lost by him. He decided that he would also be emperor at the last moment of his life.
So, he killed the puppet emperor Yang Hao and established his own country, which was called Xu, and the Sui Dynasty perished. He left that famous saying: "Since ancient times, no one has died, and he has left Dan to take care of his sweat."
People are born to die, how can they not try to be an emperor? ”
