Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not a fatuous king originally, but why did he become a well-known king who subjugated his country in history?

Why did Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty change from a popular emperor to a famous faint emperor in history? Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty can be said to be extremely smart. He went south to destroy Chen and suppress Chen at a young age. Yangzhou, in order to control the Turks, once the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even the civilized people felt that the King of Jin Yang Guang was more suitable for the throne. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian also particularly liked his second son. He felt that he was independent-minded, young and mature, forbearing, etc. In order to avoid the death of his second son, Yang Jian changed his He made his second son, Yang Guang, the crown prince.

After that, Yang Guang proclaimed himself emperor. Yang Guang could be said to be extremely smart and his articles were first-rate. Within two years of taking the throne, he established the imperial examination and selected talents, and the capital of the country was east. The Sui Dynasty entered its heyday through a series of moves, including the construction of canals, the conquest of Liuqiu in the east, which is now Taiwan, the attack on Linyi in the south, which is now central Vietnam, the connection with the Western Regions in the west, and the imperial conquest of Khitan in the north.

But why did the Sui Dynasty fall in just fourteen years, and it fell at the hands of this seemingly wise monarch? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had a fatal problem, that is, he was so happy with great achievements, honorable projects, and large-scale construction projects. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also did the same things that stupid emperors did, such as military campaigns and military violence.

To move the capital to Luoyang, no less than 3 million migrant workers were used to build palaces. Rare treasures from all over the country were collected in Luoyang for them to play with. After digging the canal, they led a large army to play on the canal. , before the vast number of people could enjoy the convenience after the opening of the canal, they felt that Emperor Sui Yang was a foolish king. The last straw that really broke the Sui Dynasty was to conquer Liaodong, gathering all the troops in the country to fight Liaodong, and He also conquered Liaodong three times, and the country was in turmoil and uprising. Emperor Sui Yang turned a blind eye and continued to go his own way. Finally, after traveling to Yangzhou, there were too many wars in the country and he could not return to the capital, so he died in Yangzhou.

The story of Emperor Sui Yang tells us that no matter how smart or capable you are, you must consider the life and death of your fellow citizens. The interests of Emperor Sui Yang are the people. The people were taxed violently and ignored, leaving the people living in dire straits. The people had no means of living, no clothes to protect their bodies, and no food to feed their bellies. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty still did some face-saving projects, inviting foreigners to hold concerts, and demanded that everything in Luoyang be renovated. Hotels and accommodations have been renovated, and meals and sleep are free, which has caused complaints from the public. Every time they go, there is a large-scale pomp and show. They are like children who have been praised. They are willful, do not know restraint, and restrain themselves. At a time when class conflicts are frequently occurring in the country, When civil wars continued to break out, he still insisted on going his own way and turned a blind eye, and eventually died in a foreign country, leaving a lifelong infamy.
