Why did Yang Di become a bad king? Just because you are so smart and successful.

Core Tip: Yang Guangzhi is smart and versatile, probably not inferior to all the famous monarchs in the history of China. He also thinks that he should be emperor, even if he is better than a scholar. Although the words are a bit grandiose, I do have this talent to learn.

If it weren't for Yang Guang's cleverness and versatility, the later Tang Dynasty spent so many years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made so many moves. The creation of the system that enjoys institutional benefits is mostly attributed to the emperor called "Yang" by later generations, especially the famous imperial examination system.

The government has a price.

In fact, not all the bad kings in the history of China are fatuous. Adou, who doesn't want to be happy, and Jin Huidi, who doesn't eat minced meat, are a minority after all; Even if other people, like Ming Xizong, play business games with concubines all day and only know carpentry all day, they just don't pay attention to big things. I'm afraid their IQ is not necessarily bad. Some of them turned out to be bad kings just because they were too clever. They are more famous than the above-mentioned princes. This man is Yang Guang, the emperor of Yang Di.

Yang Guangzhi is clever and versatile, so I'm afraid he won't be inferior to all the wise men in the history of China. He also thinks that he should be emperor, even if he is better than a scholar. Although the words are a bit grandiose, there is indeed this public scholarship. When he was a prince, he sang with literati's poems and songs. Judging from the poems handed down through the ages, they are somewhat interesting, at least not as tacky as the imperial calligraphy of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

It should be said that he is "studious, good at writing, profound and serious, and interested in ruling and opposition." The light is good, but the martial arts is a little poor. Sui Pingnan Chen, he is a marching marshal, but he is a northern Turk. He is also the commander-in-chief of this war. His hard work has no credit, at least it doesn't confuse men. Even a historian who sharply criticized him, he had to admit that he was "young and had heard of it." He lives in Wu and Hui in Nanping and Xiongnu in the north. He is unique in Kunming and has made great achievements. "However, this is how nature plays tricks on people. Nine times out of ten, people are smart, and Yang Guang, the emperor of Yang Di, is a typical example.

If it weren't for Yang Guang's cleverness and versatility, the later Tang Dynasty spent so many years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made so many moves. The creation of the system that enjoys institutional benefits is mostly attributed to the emperor called "Yang" by later generations, especially the famous imperial examination system. It is this system that endows China with the most complete and developed bureaucratic structure in the world. It was praised by the later historian Xu Zhuoyun as one of the three primary colors of China traditional culture, which made the famous French historian Braudel marvel at how the primitive monarchy in China was accompanied by a modern bureaucracy. Of course, it was also his painstaking efforts to mobilize millions of migrant workers to build Luoyang, the eastern capital, dig the Grand Canal, build a million-strong army, and repeatedly conquer Liaodong. It's just such a big event that he finally paid the price of the country.

No emperor in history did so many great actions to benefit future generations, but he died and became famous. The imperial examination system not only allowed the later emperors to include all the heroes in the world, but also allowed the later dynasties to enjoy the benefits of water transportation. However, what he got was eternal shame. Needless to say, at that time, the damage caused by these generous displays to social life was disastrous.

Although China's commerce is developed, it has never formed a unified market, a developed commercial society and corresponding systems and tax strategies. China is not completely inland, but the marine economy is restricted by commercial development, which is invisible in the national strategy. Therefore, all previous dynasties can only build the country on the basis of small-scale peasant economy, and can't stand the big moves of the country. The construction of the Du Dong and the Grand Canal has caused millions of people to postpone their agricultural season and deplete their reserves. What else is there? Agriculture is not suitable for development in essence.

In order to destroy the talents of Qin Shihuang in the six countries, the Great Wall will be built after defeating Xiongnu, which shows that the offensive situation is not desirable. Millions of soldiers went to explore, and millions of people got food on the way. Fortunately, I was defeated, but there is still no prognosis, let alone defeated! In the final analysis, China is not a commercial country, and it is easy to concentrate resources, and it also needs to rely on force to maintain the smooth flow of commercial roads; China is not a maritime country, ignoring the benefits of ocean transportation, and has never thought of going out to sea to seek more resources. Under the framework of self-discipline, we can only tailor our clothes and live within our means, otherwise we will be in big trouble.

Of course, in the eyes of historians, the king of subjugation, like his peers, is an avalanche of moral corruption, hypocrisy, debauchery, profligacy, hiring adulterers and so on. Unofficial history even described Yang Guang as a demon: killing his father, killing his brother, raping his mother, betraying his wife, killing people for fun, and even almost erotically described him sitting on a sheep cart and wandering among many citizens. For good luck, Gong Ji plastered the door with sheep's favorite food. Although the latter is a bit like the absurdity of post-modern avant-garde novels, in fact, both of them are the reasons for the demise of the second generation of Sui Dynasty, which lies in the corruption of the quality and morality of Emperor Yang Di. In fact, Yang Di's extravagant consumption has not exhausted the country's reserves. It was because of his generous motives that the Sui Dynasty changed from a great victory in grain storage to a hunger for food.

The moral of the motto "governing a big country can make it small and fresh" is that you can't toss it, you must always turn it over.

Don't take the poet's words seriously.

What the poet said can't be true. It is said that this is an old saying written by a poet in the Tang Dynasty, "My brother died in the south of the Yangtze River, but my brother died in the north." The boss saw it and said sadly, I didn't expect your family to be so unfortunate. I don't want this public to answer: no, I'm just writing poetry. Later generations laughed at the man and said, "Since it is a poem, why put all the brothers together?" ? Why not write "A charming wife sleeps with a monk, and a beautiful concubine enters the meditation room"?

Nevertheless, the poet's words were taken seriously. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Hu Ling took the lead in recommending the poet Li Yuan as the secretariat of Hangzhou. Tang Xuanzong said, I heard that this man had a poem saying, "A long day only kills one chess game." Can such a person manage a place well? Hu Ling replied that the poet's words should not be taken seriously. The two men were deadlocked for a long time, and finally Tang Xuanzong said, let him take office first, keep an eye on it and see the sequelae. Honey, I almost lost my job because of a poem.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was the Tang Dynasty. Although the emperor attached great importance to the poet's words, he was only worried that the poet was busy playing chess and delayed his official duties. However, in the Song Dynasty, it was different. Wang Anshi's political reform, talented Su Shi wrote several poems to complain. As a result, he was picked out by the examiner and was arrested and imprisoned.

When Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor in the Ming Dynasty, he opened a literary inquisition. It is a pity, however, that most of them are local intellectuals, who write things like "living for the people" and flatter each other. Unfortunately, they were photographed on the horse's leg. Zhu Yuanzhang misunderstood "Zuo Ze" as a "thief" in Fengyang dialect, and as a result, photographers lost their heads. A real poet, because no one seems to have lost the life of a poet. Probably because the Ming Dynasty was ruled by secret agents, the secret agents of the Royal Guards and the East and West Factories were so elusive that the poet's poetic interest was somewhat reduced, and everyone rushed to write novels.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang just went to prison, killed the Prime Minister Hu and more than 30 thousand officials, and abolished the Prime Minister. As the head of state and government, he is very tired every day and has to find some old scholars from imperial academy to help him with his official duties. One of them is Qian Zai, who is old, but he is Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite "minister", so he has enough writing style. One day, when I came home, I suddenly recited a poem: "See you at the noon gate, beating drums all around, and it's too late to get dressed." Whe

In the Qing Dynasty, when the emperor made progress, he loved poetry as much as possible. It is said that there are more than 40,000 poems handed down by one person, such as Gan Long. However, it doesn't matter that he loves poetry, but the poet's head is a little dangerous. Dozens of literary inquisitions have been published, and even the poem "Qingfeng can't read, how to turn over books" has been listed as a vicious attack on the Qing emperor's "writing books in a prosperous time", and the poet's words are actually taken for granted.

If the poet takes his words seriously, the poem will be gone.
