The Sui Dynasty, a dynasty that was once very prosperous, had too many twists and turns in the process of its rise and fall. And Yang Jian's favor to Gong Ewei Chi in his later years is the most eye-catching chapter. This is not only a love story between royal families, but also a tragedy of power, jealousy and betrayal, which reflects the political turmoil of a dynasty.
Favoritism and jealousy.
Yang Jian is the Taizu of the Sui Dynasty, he made great contributions, vowed to love only Queen Dugu for life, and the marriage of the two is also known as a model of the royal family. However, as the years passed, Yang Jian was old and decrepit, and a feeling of emptiness seemed to gradually appear in his heart, so he wanted to find a new comfort. The arrival of Yu Chi's coincided with Yang Jian's wish, she was young and beautiful, gentle as water, and deeply loved by Yang Jian.
However, the relationship between the two could not be as peaceful and harmonious as Yang Jian hoped. When Queen Dugu knew that her husband liked Mrs. Yuchi, the vinegar in her heart was like an erupting volcano. In ancient times, the queen's identity seemed noble, but in fact she was weak, especially when the emperor favored other women. Queen Dugu was jealous, in addition to Yang Jian's fall from favor to her, the main reason was that she felt that her position in the court was becoming more and more unstable.
A tragedy. The jealousy in Queen Dugu's heart finally turned into an impulse. One night, Yu Chi was brutally killed, and Queen Dugu was because of her jealousy. This incident shook the government and the opposition, and even Yang Jian was shocked. After knowing this, he was heartbroken, and it was not only the people of the Wei Chi family who were angry, but also Queen Dugu, why did she do this?
At this moment, Yang Jian asked with an aggrieved face, "Who am I?" This not only made him puzzled by what Queen Dugu had done, but also made him begin to reflect on his rights. In his eyes, if he can't protect his loved ones, no matter how powerful he is, he is useless. These remarks of Yang Jian are not only a deep reflection on the rights of ancient monarchs, but also their inherent helplessness and struggle.
The consequences of the courtly emotional disputes.
Wei Chi's death was both a tragedy and a major turning point, reflecting the important role played by various complex emotional factors in the imperial court in social stability. After this incident, Yang Jian is obviously not a Ming Jun who is bent on the welfare of the world, and he uses all his mental energy on personal disputes, which is absolutely extremely harmful to the way of governing the country.
Although the decline of the end of the Sui Dynasty cannot be entirely blamed on this factor, it did accelerate the decline of the Sui Dynasty. If an emperor is bound by personal feelings and cannot govern well, then his future is doomed to be bleak. Yang Jian's emotional experience in his old age not only broke the relationship between him and Empress Dugu, but also greatly damaged his status and status at that time, which had a profound impact on the political situation of the Sui Dynasty.
Rethink and experience.
Yang Jian's later deeds have left great reference significance for future generations. First of all, it shows that even the most powerful monarch cannot escape the weakness of humanity. Second, emotional disputes in the imperial court can have a huge impact on the political stability of the entire society. And take this as a lesson to remind everyone in power that in addition to chasing the pleasure of personal feelings, we must not forget the responsibility of serving the country and the people.
The rise and fall of the Sui Dynasty is like a magnificent history, and Yang Jian's later life course is an intriguing picture. Looking back on this period can not only deepen our understanding of the past, but also enable us to have a deeper understanding of the issues of power, responsibility, and humanity in today's society.
