In 2013, a real estate project under construction broke ground in Caozhuang, Xihu Town, Yangzhou City.
When a bulldozer knocked down a manure pit, it was found under the pit"Famous name"The tomb of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
What's even more weird is that this seemingly coincidental grave digging is more like a revenge that has passed through the millennium!
Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was a famous loser in Chinese history.
During his reign, he was eager for quick success. The construction of the Grand Canal cost the people and money; frequent wars and abuse of people's power; Righteous anger and three expeditions to Goryeo, so that the second Sui Dynasty was killed.
What is even more despised by future generations is that he killed his brother and father, and came to the throne in the wrong way.
Yang Guang and Yang Yong are brothers of the same father and mother, their father is Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and their mother is Dugu Jialuo, the queen of literature.
Because Yang Yong was the eldest son of Yang Jian and his wife, he was highly regarded, and after Yang Jian ascended the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yong naturally became the crown prince.
The younger brother Yang Guang is smart by nature, handsome, and a very ambitious person, he has long coveted the position of the eldest brother's crown prince, and he wants to replace him with all his might.
In order to achieve his goal, he seized every opportunity to express himself and disguise himself.
Knowing that his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, advocated frugality, he hid all the luxury items in the family, ate and dressed like a commoner, and pretended to be frugal in front of his father.
Knowing that his mother didn't like men to be lewd and lustful, he favored Xiao alone, leaving only older and not very good-looking people around him, pretending to be dislike women.
His clever words coaxed Emperor Wen of Sui and his wife to really think that their second son was a "benevolent" person.
At the same time, Yang Guang lost no time in framing his brother Yang Yong.
Yang Yong is the opposite of his younger brother, with a straightforward and unruly personality.
Emperor Wen of Sui and his wife chose the concubine for him, he didn't like it, but he doted on other concubines, and the crown princess was angry to death, which angered his mother Queen Dugu.
is not low-key, dresses gorgeously, and spends a lot of money, which makes Emperor Wen of Sui, who picks the door, very distressed.
His freewheeling behavior made Yang Guang, who was about to move, take advantage of the loophole.
On the winter solstice of this year, hundreds of officials were congratulated in the palace. According to etiquette, the ministers should first go to the emperor and then congratulate the prince.
But this year, the ** who presided over the ceremonial ceremony asked the ministers to come to the prince first.
Yang Yong, who was unruly, also lost his heart, and even wore court clothes to calmly accept the congratulations of the hundred officials.
Emperor Wen of Sui was furious when he found out, the emperor was still there, and the crown prince was competing with his father for the limelight, is this the rhythm of rebellion?
Yang Guang secretly planned and observed all of Yang Yong's behaviors, and saw the opportunity to sue Yang Yong to his parents, saying that Yang Yong had always wanted to frame and kill him.
Emperor Wen of Sui was angry and abolished Yang Yong's position as the crown prince and renamed Yang Guang as the crown prince.
In 604 AD, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was seriously ill, and Yang Guang felt that after his father's death, he would soon be able to sit on the throne, so he revealed his true colors.
In order to ascend to the throne in one fell swoop, before Emperor Wen of Sui died, he wrote a letter to his cronies to arrange for his ascension to the throne after his father's death. Unfortunately, this letter was intercepted by Emperor Wen of Sui, and Emperor Wen of Sui was furious.
Later, while his father was seriously ill, he molested his father's favorite concubine, making Emperor Wen of Sui realize that he had mistaken Yang Guang and regretted that he had entrusted the state affairs to Yang Guang.
Emperor Wen of Sui wanted to re-establish Yang Yong as the crown prince, and after this idea was known to Yang Guang, he quickly took action, falsely passed on the holy decree, and put the ** who was responsible for drafting the edict in prison.
Then he sealed his father's bedroom, and soon Emperor Wen of Sui was secretly killed by Yang Guang in the blockade, and Yang Guang got the throne as he wished.
Yang Guang, who ascended the throne, falsely passed on his father's will and gave his brother Yang Yong to death.
As the saying goes, the way of heaven is reincarnated, and the cycle of cause and effect.
Many people think that this old account in history will be written off at any time, but they don't think that even after a thousand years, this account will still have to be repaid.
During the Spring Festival of 2013, a bulldozer was cleaning up a real estate development project in Xihu Town, northwest of Yangzhou, and when it reached a civil construction manure pit, a brick tomb was discovered.
After the rescue excavation of Yangzhou Institute of Archaeology, the epitaph cover of "Epitaph of Emperor Yang of Sui" was found in the tomb, and from the burial goods found in the tomb, experts believe that this is the joint tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui and Empress Xiao.
This tomb is very "shabby", there are only two burial chambers, and local residents have also built houses near the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui, and the dung pit dug is located above the main burial chamber, and the bottom of the dung pit is only half a meter from the burial chamber. So much so that archaeologists at first thought it was only an ancient tomb of ordinary people.
It was not until April 2013 that archaeological experts found an epitaph in the tomb and determined that the owner of the tomb was Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
Coincidentally, the epitaph was found on April 11, and Emperor Yang of Sui was killed by the rebel Yu Wenhua on April 10, 618 AD, which is really a time overlap through history.
What's more coincidental is that the developer of the land where the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui is located is named Yang Yong, which is exactly the same as the name of his brother Yang Yong, who was seized by Yang Guang and given to death.
History is so peculiar, it's really not too late for the prince to take revenge for a thousand years.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suddenly "came" to the 21st century after nearly 1,400 years of sleep, and he would not have imagined that the real estate developer who prompted him to "unearth" would have the same name as his brother who was killed; What I didn't expect was that I was buried under the dung pit after I died, which may be retribution for Yang Guang!
Yang Guang's life is very controversial.
On the one hand, he made great achievements that no other dynasty could match.
The excavation of the Grand Canal, the construction of the Great Wall, and the establishment of the imperial examination system have had a major impact on China's economic and social development.
On the one hand, he is arrogant and extravagant, and he has a faint image.
There is also the throne of his unknown origin, killing his brother and taking the throne, killing his father and taking the throne.
If there is really a reincarnation of heaven, Yang Yong has traveled through thousands of years to dig Yang Guang's tomb, I think it is not only for his own tragic frame-in, but also for the revenge of killing his father and the country. Treasure Interest Raiders History of those things
