Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-04

In the long course of history, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was known for his talent for governing the country and iron-fisted methods. However, in family life, the emperor's way of governing the family caused a "prince breaking the law" incident that shook the government and the opposition. How he educates his children with an iron fist demonstrates what true fatherly love and the spirit of the rule of law are.

The princes of Emperor Wen of Sui were pampered in the royal palace and developed an arrogant and domineering character. Yang Jun, the king of Qin, is one of the best, relying on his father's favor, he acts recklessly and unscrupulously. In the palace, he built a lot of construction and did his best to do extravagance; Outside the palace, he indulged his subordinates to break the law and discipline, oppress the people, and do everything.

However, Emperor Wen of Sui knew that the family was the epitome of society, and if the princes were allowed to behave indiscriminately, the dynasty would be ruined, and the long-term peace and stability of the country would also be threatened. So, he decided to use iron-fisted means to rectify the family style and severely punish him.

The first to be punished by his father was Yang Jun, the king of Qin. Emperor Wen of Sui ordered his official position to be removed and his title stripped away. This move was like a bolt from the blue, shocking both inside and outside the court. The once invincible King of Qin is now left with nothing. This incident was a wake-up call for the other princes, who began to realize their father's determination.

However, punishment was not the purpose of Emperor Wen of Sui. He hoped that through these actions, the princes would understand the majesty and justice of the law. So he summoned all the princes and taught them earnestly: "I am not only your father, but also the father of all the people of the world. I punish you in the hope that you will recognize your mistakes, obey the law, and become useful people to society. If I open my eyes to you, how will the people of the world think of me? How can I govern the country with fairness and justice? ”

The princes listened to their father's words and bowed their heads in shame. They realized that their actions had caused distress to their fathers and pain to the people. From then on, the princes began to change their behavior, obey the law, and no longer do whatever they want.

Emperor Wen of Sui's iron-fisted rule not only frightened the princes, but also educated the people to obey the law and maintain social order. His impartiality and determination became a story of history and set an example for future generations to govern the family.

This story teaches us that as parents or family members, we have a responsibility to educate the next generation to obey the law, respect others, and maintain social order. Only through correct education and guidance can we cultivate talents with morality, talent, and responsibility. At the same time, we must also lead by example, take the lead in abiding by the law, and establish the authority of the rule of law, just like Emperor Wen of Sui. In this way, our family can become a harbor of harmony, happiness and stability.
