Historical stories of Sui and Tang Dynasties! !

1. Three Signs of Koguryo

Three Signs of Koguryo were three wars waged by Emperor Yangdi Yang Guang against Koguryo from the eighth year of Daye (612) to the tenth year of Daye (614). All three times were personal expedition of Emperor Yang-ti.

From the seventh year of Daye (AD 611), Emperor Yangdi, who had just finished touring Jiangdu, began to carry out all kinds of provisions and armaments for this eastward expedition. By February of the eighth year of Daye (AD 612), Emperor Yangdi officially marched into the East, and the first eastward expedition, due to the wrong command of Emperor Yangdi, the Sui Dynasty suffered a fiasco and suffered heavy losses, and it began to happen in China.

In the first month of the following year, Emperor Yangdi began to plan the second expedition to the East, but he withdrew because of the rebellion in Yang Xuangan. In April, the tenth year of the Great Cause (AD 614), Emperor Yangdi launched the war for the third time, and King Koguryo sent an envoy to surrender.

Hu Sizheng, assistant minister of the Ministry of War who defected to Koguryo last year, will be returned, and Emperor Yangdi will return to the DPRK. But King Koguryo did not enter the DPRK as ordered by Emperor Yangdi? , still don't put back a large number of soldiers and civilians of the Sui Dynasty captured by him. When the envoys came to Koguryo in the early Tang Dynasty, they saw a large number of Sui people captured by Koguryo that year. "The Sui people looked at it and cried all over the countryside." ?

Three signs of Goguryeo had a very negative impact on the rule of the Sui Dynasty. Three large-scale expeditions not only seriously depleted the national strength of the Sui Dynasty, but also caused the people to live in poverty, which seriously stimulated class contradictions and eventually led to the outbreak of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

2. Wagangzhai Uprising

Wagangzhai Uprising, also known as Wagangjun Uprising, was a peasant uprising that took place from the seventh year of the Great cause of Sui Dynasty (611) to the fourteenth year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (618).

The peasant uprising in Wagang has been active on the historical stage for seven or eight years, mobilizing millions of people to move to the Central Plains, "breaking the peace, destroying the world, stirring up Wan Li, and marching in all directions", performing many magnificent live dramas, writing an epic history, and making indelible contributions in the whole struggle to overthrow the Sui Dynasty.

this is a great historical achievement of the wagang army. Regrettably, such a powerful army and the regime under its protection did not last long, then went downhill and finally failed.

3. Jiangdu mutiny

In July of the 12th year of the Great Cause (616), Emperor Yang took a dragon boat from Dongdu to Jiangdu for the third time. By this time, the bonfire of peasant uprising had spread all over the country.

in the 13th year of Daye (617), the wagang army approached the eastern capital and announced the top ten crimes of Yang-ti. Tang gaozu also attacked Chang 'an, and established Wang Gang as the self-styled Tang King. The uprising troops in the south of the Yangtze River approached Jiangdu, and Emperor Yang felt that the end was coming. He looked in the mirror and said, "Good head, who will cut it!" Everyone in Jiangdu Palace is in danger.

At this time, the Xiaoguo Army led by Sima Dekun in the palace were all from Guanzhong. They had been away for a long time and missed their hometown. Sima Dekun and Hu Benlang conspired with Yuan Li and Zhi He Pei Qiantong to push Yu Wenhuaji, the general of Zuo Tunwei, to launch a mutiny and lead the people to the west.

In the 14th year of Daye (618), on the night of March 1th (or even 11th), Sima De led Xiao Guo in from Xuanwu Gate, and Pei Qiantong and Yuan Li went straight into the palace to search for him. Emperor Yang-ti heard of the change and hid in Yongxiang, which was driven out by the rebels.

at dawn, he was taken to the sleeping hall. After that, Yu Wenhuaji made a captain, Linghu Xingda, kill Yang-ti. The imperial clan and consorts of Sui Dynasty were all killed in Jiangdu Palace, but the nephew Qin Wanghao of Yangdi was closely related to Yu Wenzhi and his contacts, so he could not die and was made emperor. After Yu Wenhuaji became the great prime minister, Yu Wenzhi shot for the left servant, and prepared to lead more than ten Sui officers and men to the west.

4, the rule of the eternal emblem

In the later years of Emperor Taizong, Prince Li Chenggan and Wang Wei Lee Tae competed for the throne, and both of them were abolished, and Li Zhi, the ninth son of Jin Wang, was appointed as the prince. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan (649), Tang Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, and the capital of the Tang Dynasty moved to Luoyang, with Luoyang as its east capital, and the system of two capitals in the Tang Dynasty began.

at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he continued to implement the various political and economic systems formulated by Emperor Taizong, and assisted Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others. The monarch and his ministers kept in mind Taizong's last will, and pursued the unswerving Taizong's instructions to coachable and love the people. ?

after Li Zhi acceded to the throne, he announced to his ministers: "If something is inconvenient for the people, learn from it and put it behind us, and if it is not finished, it will be sealed. On the same day, the secretariat entered the cabinet and asked about the sufferings of the people; Emperor Taizong instructed him to be frugal, and Tang Gaozong immediately ordered him: "Those who offer eagles and dogs and horses from Beijing officials and other States are guilty."

Tang Gaozong's princes and ministers followed the instructions of Emperor Taizong. Therefore, during the Yonghui period, the border was stable and the people were well off, which was a legacy of Zhen Guan. It was called "the rule of Yonghui" in history. During his reign, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was the widest.

5. Yuanhe Zhongxing

In the Tang Dynasty, there were foreign invasions such as Tubo, Uighur and Nanzhao, in which eunuchs took power, banned the military power and even established the emperor, which was decided by eunuchs. Our time had even independent management power over local governments, which became one of the internal troubles and foreign invasions in the Tang Dynasty.

After Tang Dezong's death, he passed through the transitional stage in Tang Shunzong, and then Tang Xianzong, who was supported by eunuchs and was always in the Zen of Yongzheng, ascended the throne. After he ascended the throne, he often read the records of ancient books and records, and he admired every time he read literature such as Zhenguan and Kaiyuan.

Tang Xianzong followed the example of the sage king of his ancestors, summed up historical experience, paid attention to the role of his ministers, and dared to appoint able ministers as prime ministers. Chun Li held discussions with the prime ministers in the Hall of Emperors, and left the dynasty very late.

during his 15 years in office, Tang Xianzong made many achievements, made some political reforms, and worked hard in politics, thus achieving the results of reducing vassals during the Yuan and Yuan Dynasties, reviving the prestige of the central government, achieving the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and reunifying the Tang Dynasty.
