The Eldest Grandson of the Sui Dynasty

To be honest, history was written by people behind the scenes. Yang Guang might not be that stupid. The Grand Canal family is not that simple.

The common people were so poor that they could not even afford to wear clothes. The living conditions of the common people were described in the history books of that era. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was hunted in a deer park. When Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, went hunting, he saw many savages wearing jackets. I just saw that the people were so poor that they couldn't even afford clothes. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin wanted to build a palace in Luoyang, so Dai Zhou, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, wrote a letter saying that if you build the palace, all the strong men among the people, except for military service, would have to be conscripted into corvee service. When it comes to work, people who serve as soldiers have to prepare their own equipment, and people who serve as corvees have to bring their own food. If one person serves as a corvee, the family will be in trouble, and their livelihood will immediately fall into trouble. With the efforts of the whole family, it is very likely that they will not be able to prepare these things. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin wanted to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Wei Zheng said, Your Majesty, you'd better not go. Why don't you go? Because it was so miserable along the way. It was a vast expanse of miles, with no human habitation, and the roads were desolate and there were obstacles between advancement and retreat. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was going to travel, and someone wrote a letter saying that the emperor had conquered the Nanling Tombs of the people to build a park. Many people died in the Fuyao, and they were cruel and unbearable. Now it is almost the same as the Sui Dynasty, so you should stop going hunting. In the same year, Ma Zhou, the imperial censor, wrote to the emperor, saying that our population is now less than 1/10 of that of the Sui Dynasty, but the corvee imposed by the court is no less than that of the Sui Dynasty! The people were tortured to death by corvées. In recent years, there have been quite a lot of complaints among the people. They thought that the emperor had to build houses just because he set the center line and didn't care about the lives of the people at all! In the 14th year of Zhenguan, Hou Jun gathered in Gaochang, and Li Shimin wanted to set up prefectures and counties in the local area. When setting up prefectures and counties, he had to build houses and build cities. The people either died of hard labor or fled to other places and became refugees. Chu Suiliang said that Xiao Ran would not recover in five years with ten houses and nine empty counties. It was so miserable that there was no way to recover in five years. In the 16th year of Zhenguan, in order to avoid the corvee, the common people had no choice but to cut off their limbs and become disabled. Li Shimin said, if there is another self-mutilation to avoid the corvee, you will not only be punished, but you will still have to go.

Yang Guang is the ancestor? This temple name is a bit nonsense. Could it be that the Sui Dynasty still fell apart despite the protagonist? But the Sui Dynasty was ruined. How could he, Yang Guang, still be the ancestor?

You need to update more at first, otherwise there will be very few people watching and it will become unfinished over time.

Really poisonous weed. What a person like Yang Guang, he still has the taste of a woman. Yang Guang was the only emperor in history who climbed across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to personally conquer Tuyuhun, which is today's Turpan. His sister also died during the expedition. In terms of thesis, Yang Guang was the founder of poetry in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He plagiarized and imitated Yang Guang's poems so that one poem could dominate the entire Tang Dynasty. Even if it was translated, it would be a Yuan song that would be famous throughout the ages. The author should write a fiction, at least it won't be so poisonous.

In the middle and late stages of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Yang Jian began to do little. After the game player Yang Guang came to power, the lives of the people in the Sui Dynasty became even worse.

Yang Guang is still good, but he pushed the family too hard. If you want to solve the problem, you should learn from the Li family. The four emperors of the Tang Dynasty did not completely solve the family until Wu Zetian came to power.

The autocratic rule of imperial power caused social disasters and led to the total collapse of the social economy. For example, the autocratic rule of imperial power caused a devastating blow to agricultural production. When Qin Shihuang had a population of 20 million, 400,000 were sent to build the Great Wall, and 1.5 Million were sent to build palaces and mausoleums. The country was peaceful. On average, hundreds of thousands of people were sent beside the 500,000 trees. When Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty built Luoyang, 2 million people were built, 3 million people were sent to build the canal, and another million were sent to build the Great Wall. Five to six million people died due to corvee service. The number was increased by 100,000 civilians, and another million people were added. What was the result? The people are in decline, the old and the weak are alone and cannot support each other, and the dead face each other on the road. Marx said that for farmers, as long as one cow dies, he cannot reproduce on the original scale. Under the heavy swaying of the emperors, the main rural labor force was forced to leave agricultural production and was restrained in the swaying, and many died. The common people lost more than a cow. Therefore, the corvee under the imperial autocratic power had a devastating blow to agricultural production. Forty-five out of ten farmers who built the Luoyang Fuyao corvee died, and the trucks carrying the corpses were non-stop day and night! In order to bring giant wood from Jiangxi, we need to use big wood. This piece of wood requires 2,000 people. Why do we need so many people? Because the wooden wheel and the wooden axle rub for a long time, they will catch fire. So an iron axle was used instead, but this iron axle broke after a period of use, so only a few hundred people could be prepared to transport the spare iron axle and replace it along the way. In fact, as early as the Warring States Period, Mencius discovered this problem, and repeatedly advised the king to reduce sway and not affect the agricultural production of farmers. Imperial autocracy brought heavy sway and caused a devastating blow to agricultural production. Imperial autocracy caused the economic collapse of society. This is a problem that has troubled us for thousands of years.

The Sui Dynasty was really a pity. Yang Guang ruined the great Han Dynasty left by Yang Jian alive. If the Sui Dynasty had not died and persisted, maybe there would have been the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! In addition, I think there are several expressions in the author's book that are good. One is the imperial examination, which was pioneered by the Sui Dynasty. However, under Yang Jian, high-ranking officials were recommended, and not everyone could participate. As the author writes in the book, this kind of change did not appear until Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Many of us may have misunderstood... Secondly, Yang Jian and Yang Guang were actually eager for quick success and quick success. Yang Jian had a good official education, but all of it was withdrawn in his later years and was restored only by Yang Guang. Moreover, Yang Jian emphasized martial arts over literature, built many temples, wasted people and money... The third is the timing and identity of the protagonist, and his age. I think it is okay. If Yang Jian dies in a few years, he will be like Yang Guang, and his true nature will be revealed. Who can control it. On the contrary, it is the protagonist's situation to influence change. It is best to make Yang Guang change while Yang Jian is alive. With the efforts of the three generations of the Sui Dynasty, maybe the world would be different. . . In short, come on, author! Everyone in the comment area discusses it themselves, I hope it doesn't affect you. Writing books about the Sui Dynasty, I don't want to write as many books about the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties, so I will support them for a while. . .

There was a problem with the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty. It was an imperial examination in name, but if it was recommended by an official of the fifth rank or above, it was simply cracked. You are considered a hammer imperial examination. In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination did not require recommendation, but there was no anonymity. It was nonsense that candidates could submit poems to the examiners to win names. The admission standards for clans were lower than others. The most important thing was that most officials were still determined by recommendation and family background. The imperial examination became the mainstream for selecting officials during the Song and Ming Dynasties, but the time span was too long. I don't expect anyone to be able to do this kind of imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Yang Jian's unification of China was the second great unification after Qin Shihuang's unification. It is not only the unification of the north and the south, but also the integration of multiple ethnic groups in the past three hundred years. It truly achieves the unification of the land without distinction between north and south, and the people without distinction between barbarians and summers. Establish the ancient Chinese political model of three provinces and six ministries, create the imperial examination system, improve the government military system, and weaken the military's interference in government. The Kaihuang Law was formulated to establish the foundation of the East Asian legal system. It will have a profound impact on social development a thousand years later. More importantly, a new order in East Asia led by the Sui Dynasty was established. Rather than military conquest and occupation of territory, the Turkic Khans preferred political submission and popular support. The Turkic Khans particularly respected Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and called him the Sage Khan. I like the martial spirit of the Hu people and the institutional culture of the Han people. He made the Sui Dynasty the most innovative dynasty, established the basic structure of China's feudal regime, and developed farming civilization to its peak. His historical status is irreplaceable, and he is undoubtedly the second among all emperors. The importance of creation is far greater than development, development and perfection. If the Sui Dynasty existed longer, it would be easier to improve the system. This is very similar to the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty was also a unified and integrated country with various innovations, but it failed to hold up. It became the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Sui Dynasty also established the Tang Dynasty.

Regarding the fact that I made a blunt statement for Emperor Ming of the Sui Dynasty and attracted a lot of people to criticize me, let me summarize Yang Guang's policy here! The first state to be changed into a county: the General Manager's Office was abolished in the first year of Daye. Here is an explanation. The role of the General Manager's Office is the military and political management unit above the state. For example, Yang Guang served as the General Manager of Bingzhou and the Shangshu Order of Taitai. He controlled the military of twenty-four states. Later, he served as the General Manager of Yangzhou and the forty-four states. This shows the great power of the General Manager's Office. In the last year of Kaihuang, there were about forty general managers' offices across the country. They were abolished in the first year of Daye! In the third year of the Daye: Prefectures were changed to counties. There were more than 300 prefectures in the country. After the reform, more than 100 counties remained. At the same time, the county governor was half a rank less than the prefect. Military power was given to the county captain, and collusion between the army and the local area was strictly prohibited. At the same time, it was also at this time that locals were prohibited from serving as local officials. After their term of office expired, they had to be transferred to prevent them from becoming local leaders. The county magistrate must report to the central government every year. Summary: How strong is this reform? About one-third of the country's officials will be laid off, and after the reform is completed, there will be about 12,572 people left in the country. The second change was to change the rank of officials below Shangzhu to officials and abolish the honorary officers. This is a proper word play. It seems like the name has been changed, isn't it doctor? Here we should mention what did the Northern Zhou Dynasty rely on to conquer the world? The soldiers in the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Why can soldiers achieve great things? Because they are integrated and bound to Guanlong Haoqiang. That's why the Northern Zhou Dynasty favored martial arts Therefore, the Guanlong nobles had absolute say at the top. From the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was the transfer of power within the Guanlong nobles. Yang Jian's ability to successfully gain power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty relied on the recognition of the Guanlong nobles, and the same was true for Li Yuan. Yang Jian was very much in agreement with the Guanlong aristocracy at that time. For example, he recognized the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the entry of Men Yin, a descendant of the Northern Wei family, that is, as long as your family is in the Northern Wei Dynasty or the Northern Zhou Dynasty and is a family of officials, don't worry about the cats and dogs, and give them a honorary officer first. So at that time, the aristocratic family was very arrogant. The emperor took turns, and my family would never fall. This is also the origin of the saying that there is only a thousand-year-old family but no thousand-year dynasty. Although Zhuguo, Shangzhuguo and the like do not have any actual power, they are also very valuable. Their rankings are on par with county kings from the first rank. And the honorary title may seem to have no rights, but it is also the easiest to convert into real power. After all, it is a point of qualifications. If there is an official vacancy, this group of people will be given priority to fill it. But Yang Guang was unhappy with all this. In his mind, military personnel should manage the army well and participate less in politics. Civil affairs should be governed by civilian officials, and military attachés should manage military affairs well. So in the third year of Daye, he abolished dozens of military attachés and honorary officers across the board and replaced them with civilian and casual officials. In this way, these so-called casual officials had no possibility of becoming substitutes and became real officials.

Do you like to write about children now? It's so boring and you play house every day.

Li Jiancheng and Yang Zhao were not 2 years apart, but 5 years apart Changsun Wuji was still nowhere to be seen at this time, and his mother Gao had not yet married Changsun Sheng at this time There is also Su Kui, whose year of birth and death is unknown, but he was 49 when he died. It was because he was too sad after his mother died, so he followed him. His mother died in 616, and he should have been twenty-four or five years old in the 10th year of the founding of the emperor.

Is it scientific to be 1.65 Meters tall at the age of nine?

What nonsense are these written about?

The most important system for selecting officials in ancient times was recommendation. This is how the redundant officials in the Song Dynasty came about. Officials of the fifth rank could recommend others. In the Ming Dynasty, it was improved to the third rank. Since the establishment of the imperial examination, its fundamental purpose was not to recruit talents for the country, nor to educate the world, but to "cage patriots" as Emperor Qianlong once mentioned. Zhishi refers to the scholars in the world, and prison refers to the imperial examination. The imperial examination is also called Enke. To be kind to the princes of the world and to win the favor of the scholars all over the world is the most important thing of the imperial examination. It is neither about selecting candidates nor talking about the world, but about caging the people with lofty ideals. Let all the smart people in the world enter the cage of the imperial examination, let them study the rules and evidence, and learn the scriptures from scratch. In this way, these people will not be whimsical and will not be easily fooled by crooked ways. When scholars are at peace, the world will be at peace, and the remaining grass bandits cannot make waves due to the limitations of their own structure and vision. Regardless of whether Li Zicheng or Hong Xiuquan failed, they failed here. If the protagonist wants to reform the imperial examination, he can refer to the civil service examination. The civil service examination is relatively pragmatic and has a wide range of knowledge. As for other talents, it is still necessary to find a way out for them, letting people know that even if they do not become an official, there is a future in study, a way out, and they can also stand out and be respected.

After reading more than twenty chapters, I am still 6 years old and have no patience. 😑

Attached are monthly tickets for rewards, etc.—— Thanks to the book friends who entered the nickname for the first comment! Thanks to book friend Desperate Death for two monthly passes! Thanks to book friend Nanshan Yefu for the 1,000-point reward! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

Isn't it the eldest son of the eldest son who can be called the eldest grandson? Yang Guang is not the eldest son, so how can his eldest son be called the eldest grandson? Only Yang Yong's eldest son can be called his eldest grandson. The author has absolutely no idea about this. When I first saw the name, I thought he was Yang Yong's eldest son.

I have a question. I remember that after Li Shimin defeated the Sui Dynasty, he adopted Queen Xiao as his concubine. Is this Queen Xiao your mother? . . Then what should you call Li Shimin when you meet him?

Isn't the eldest grandson Yang Yong's son? How come you have become Yang Guang's son?

I would like to recommend this book to the author. You can read it and learn about it. The title of the book is "Father Sui Yangdi"

First answer the questions raised by some book friends: 1. The ages of some characters do not match - the author has adjusted the ages of a few characters for plot development. Some of them are not recorded in history books and are related to age issues and will not affect the main plot development. 2. Update problem - The author usually updates at noon and evening. Please forgive me for the slow hand speed. Currently, it is ensured that there are no less than two updates per day. After finishing some things at hand in the past week, starting from 9.25, It will evolve into a third-update beast, and it will evolve into a fifth-update beast depending on the situation. 3…… To be described. If you have any suggestions or ideas, you can write them here. The author will answer questions and make corrections when he has time.

The granaries of the Sui Dynasty could be used by the Tang Dynasty for another 50 years. Is this a good thing? Do you think that when the court is rich, the people will also be rich? If the imperial court is so rich, the people will inevitably be naked. Therefore, none of the ancient dynasties is worth recalling.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​? ? ? Can you read the historical fiction that boasts about not even mentioning the Basic Law? Writing history does not mean copying it mechanically or fabricating it out of thin air, but rather making interpretations based on facts.

The starting point is to understand push

The word "died in the second generation" is wrong. The Sui Dynasty died in the fifth generation. From Yang Jian to Yang Tong, there were five generations in total. Strictly speaking, there were four generations (excluding one Sui Gong Emperor). After deducting two Sui Gong Emperors, it can be counted as three generations.
