Is Yang Guang really a brutal faint king?

Judging from the historical interpretation, Yang Guang's reign was indeed brutal, mediocre, and a complete faint king. However, Yang Guang was also a successful king, not only created the Grand Canal, but also established the imperial examination system, which made contributions to China's feudal society.

Judging by the historical record. Yang Guang is indeed a cruel and mediocre faint king, so he has always been condemned by the world.

The real Yang Guang is a tyrant, not a faint king.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty just failed to handle the relationship between meritorious service and people's livelihood.

During Yang Guang's reign, the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the construction of the eastern capital Luoyang, the opening of the imperial examination, and the reopening of the Silk Road were all major events that affected the history of China's millennium development.

Yang Guang was the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and was more discredited by the Tang Dynasty historians and later generations.

In China's feudal society, successive dynasties generally smeared the cruelty, incompetence, and mediocrity of the previous emperor's rule, in order to set off the legitimacy of Min Jing's succession and win the hearts of the people.

Speaking of the Sui Dynasty, what can you think of? For this dynasty, the evaluation has always been not high, after all, compared with the later Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty cannot be compared in terms of military, economy and influence. And Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, has always been a mediocre and lustful image of a faint monarch in film and television dramas, so is Yang Guang really like this in history?

1, Yang Guangqi.

The history books commented that Yang Guang was "less intelligent" and said that he was very smart when he was a child. If I were to evaluate Yang Guang, then I would use mixed reputations to evaluate him. On the one hand, Yang Guang opened the Grand Canal, which was very important for later generations. And organized many expeditions to ensure the stability of the border, and at the same time recovered Qinghai.

But on the other hand, the burden of building canals and waging war was completely on the people, causing many people to rebel, which eventually led to the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Guang, the second emperor of Sui, also died.

2. Dig a canal.

I believe that I must have learned an important canal in junior high school history books - the Sui and Tang Dynasty Grand Canal. Although it is called the Sui and Tang Grand Canals, it was not actually dug in the Sui Dynasty. The work done by the Sui Dynasty was actually excavation, linking, and restoration.

Some canals that have been abandoned for many years or are in poor condition will be repaired. These natural rivers and old canals are then connected, and some new canals are dug in small quantities. In this way, a grand canal was dug that ran from north to south.

And this Grand Canal has been playing its part until now.

3. Start a war.

During the ancient feudal dynasty in China, it has been harassed by border ethnic minorities. Therefore, all the great unified dynasties in history have broken out at war with border ethnic minorities, and the Sui Dynasty is certainly no exception. In the course of the western conquest of Tuguhun, the Sui Dynasty took back the occupied Qinghai.

But the three expeditions to Goguryeo were not so glorious, one defeat and one retreat, and the last time was not a complete victory.

4. Mutiny to death.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, a major event occurred - the Jiangdu Mutiny. In this mutiny, Yu Wenhua and ordered Yang Guang to be killed. Before the Jiangdu Mutiny, peasant uprisings were already commonplace.

The Grand Canal and the expedition to Tuguhun are indeed feats, but whether it is military service or regimental Peichang, it is a heavy burden on the heads of the common people, not to mention that the three expeditions to Goguryeo in the later period did not achieve victory, but cost the people and money. And as a common man, he can't eat enough, and he has to serve in the conscription and military service. One can imagine what attitude he had towards the emperor.

The final result was that the peasant uprising sparked the prairie and the Jiangdu mutiny was replaced by a new day.

Yang Guang is not a complete faint king. Yang Guang also did a lot of good things, and promoted the development of the dynasty at that time, I think it should be viewed rationally.

Yang Guang was not a faint monarch, during his reign, he built a large number of construction projects and built the Yunwan River, which caused dissatisfaction among many ordinary people, but the canal benefited the descendants of Minna.

At the beginning, Yang Guang was a very upright king, but then according to his own changes, he was hit in the court, so he became a faint king.

Yes, I also feel that this person is not a particularly good emperor Zhengxun, and this person is indeed a slumber monarch, and he is not a particularly kind person in the historical records.
