The video connects all worlds, and the top ten emperors are edited at the beginning

But in his life, Yang Guang did do things that had a profound impact on future generations.

Yang Guang is indeed a tyrant, there is no doubt about it, but this tyrant is not necessarily stupid.

Yang Guang was born in Chang'an in 569 AD.

When Yang Guang was born, his father Yang Jian was just a general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he had just inherited his grandfather's title not long ago.

At that time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was in its most powerful period. A few years later, the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed and the northern part of the Central Plains was unified.

However, Yang Guang's birth seemed to bring great good luck to the Yang family.

In the next ten years, Yang Jian made many military exploits, and then became the emperor's father-in-law.

After the emperor's son-in-law died, Yang Jian's little grandson became the new emperor, and Yang Jian took charge of the government.

After being a powerful foreign relative for a few more years, Yang Jian simply snatched the throne from his grandson and became emperor himself.

Thus the Sui Dynasty was founded.

In 581 AD, the Sui Dynasty was founded. In this year, Yang Guang was 13 years old, and he was named King of Jin.

Seven years later, the Sui army went south to destroy Chen.

Yang Guang, who was only 20 years old, led the whole army and was actually commanded by the famous Sui Dynasty general Gao Jiong.

In this battle, the Sui army wiped out Nanchen in one go, and completely unified the world.

Yang Guang, who was only 20 years old, already had the merit of destroying the country.

It's a pity that no matter how good Yang Guang is, he can only be the king of Jin, not the prince.

No way, who made him have a big brother on his head?

Before Yang Guang, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu had a son, Yang Guang's elder brother Yang Yong.

And Yang Guang is the second son.

Why am I better than you, and you were born a few years earlier than me, so you have to be the prince?

Thus, after Yang Guang became an adult, a battle for the heir apparent began.

As a prince, Yang Yong is actually a bit like a modern literary youth.

Handsome, easy to learn, good at composing poems, straightforward and unpretentious, and he also associates with famous people at that time.

Such a person, if he is a poet, may be very successful.

But if you are an emperor... the later Li Yu, Zhao Ji and others are enough to explain the problem.

In contrast, Yang Guang is obviously more suitable to be an emperor.

Because he will endure and be ruthless enough.

Yang Guang knew that his father advocated frugality, so his life was quite simple.

When he was a prince, Yang Guang was almost completely insulated from beauty.

Except for his own concubine Xiao, basically even the concubines are just used to make up the numbers.

Moreover, Yang Guang also actively contacted the courtiers, and brought Yang Su, Yu Wenshu and other important officials of the Sui Dynasty to his side, forming a huge Jin Wang Party.

In addition to these, Yang Guang often spoke ill of his eldest brother in front of his biological mother, Dugu, and framed him.

Although both Yang Guang and Yang Yong were born of Queen Dugu, after Yang Guang's accumulative slander, Dugu also began to have doubts about Yang Yong, thinking that the eldest son was not suitable to be a prince.

A maniac by nature, fond of extravagance, fond of beautiful women, a typical literary youth, but not very good at working.

The other is simple, not lewd, and has outstanding military exploits. He is well-known in the court, and even his mother thinks he is more talented.

If you were Yang Jian, who would you choose to be the crown prince?

In 600 AD, after a ten-year battle to seize the throne, Yang Guang finally won.

In this year, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, abolished the prince Yang Yong and replaced Yang Guang as the prince.

From the point of view at the time, this was obviously a very wise decision.

But from the perspective of future generations, this is probably the biggest mistake among all the decisions made by Sui Wendi Yang Jian in his life.

In 602 AD, Yang Guang's biological mother Dugu died of illness.

After Dugu's death, Yang Jian, who was originally in good health, quickly became seriously ill.

Two years later, Yang Jian was critically ill, and Yang Guang sealed off the palace first, and successfully ascended the throne.

Regarding the death of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there have been different opinions in history.

Many people said that when Yang Jian was seriously ill, he had already seen through Yang Guang's character and wanted to make Yang Yong the crown prince again.

As a result, Yang Guang blocked the palace first, and finally strangled his father to death.

What the truth is, future generations will not know.

But from this day on, Yang Guang did ascend to the throne and became a new generation of power in the huge Sui Empire.

I am already the emperor, I already have supreme power, there is no need to continue to pretend.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to clean up his brothers.

Yang Guangxian forced his elder brother Yang Yong to commit suicide in the name of Yang Jian's will.

The other three younger brothers were also imprisoned to death by him.

Yang Yong's sons were all exiled to Lingnan by him and executed on the way.

Such a method can be called ruthless.

Then, Yang Guang began to crazily overdraw the national power of the Sui Dynasty in order to realize many of his crazy ideas.

The first thing is to build Luoyang City and build palaces in various places.

In fact, Yang Guang moved his capital to Luoyang, not only because he wanted to live more comfortably, or simply because he wanted to move.

The most important reason why Yang Guang wanted to move the capital of the Sui Dynasty from Chang'an to Luoyang was to get rid of the shackles of the Guanlong Group.

Guanlong Group was formed in the Western Wei Dynasty.

After the development of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui dynasties, the Guanlong Group has become an extremely powerful political force.
