My Father Is Emperor Yang of Sui

These days, even the greatest tyrant of all time, who brought down a unified dynasty without internal or external troubles in just over a decade, is being defended? Don't give me that talk about the Grand Canal or the imperial examination system. Let me ask you this: the Sui Dynasty only lasted for a little over twenty years under Emperor Yang of Sui. His father left him such a powerful dynasty, and he ruined it in just fourteen years, didn't he? What's there to defend?

The prelude to a disastrous ending: The author starts making excuses for less frequent updates, then gradually stops updating altogether—always citing family matters, health issues, or even completely refusing to update! Then the update schedule changes from a fixed daily schedule to an unstable one, entirely dependent on the author's mood. This author currently exhibits all the signs; tsk, terrifyingly so!

How would you evaluate someone who ruined an empire of 45 million people in just over a decade, reducing the population to 12 million? Was he the most incompetent ruler in Chinese history?

From the time I started reading this novel with the idea of ​​killing time to finding it interesting, I witnessed step by step the author's transformation from a high-level martial arts world to a heavy historical narrative technique, and witnessed the changes of Yang Ming from childhood to adulthood.

Emperor Yang of Sui was Yang Guang's posthumous title. How could an emperor know his posthumous title while he was alive? Besides, "Yang" is an extremely insulting posthumous title, a "bad posthumous title." Would Yang Guang have been willing to accept it?!

Don't modern fans of Emperor Yang Guang even know that the Grand Canal was built during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods?

I, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, am the foremost of the Ten Sages of the Temple of Heaven, an emperor unparalleled throughout history, the God of Guang. Who dares to slander me, the God of Guang?

Having read many historical fiction and time-travel novels, this one is the only one that truly suits my taste. The changes in the protagonist's mindset from the first chapter to the present are obvious. He gradually grows into a monarch, a lonely figure, engaging in political intrigue and winning people's hearts. I believe that historical fiction is never a lighthearted genre.

To promote the poor and commoners, they wanted to open schools nationwide with free room and board? That's laughable! How much money did they have to support such extravagance? How many of those benefits would actually reach the common people? People always criticize Yang Guang for squandering the nation's resources, but this protagonist is no less wasteful.

The protagonists in both books are complete failures, utterly useless. Science and technology are the primary productive forces; development is inseparable from science and technology. However, after reading 100 chapters, I felt no sense of immersion.
