Biography of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Central Plains has been in turmoil, and the north and south have been separated for more than three hundred years. The smoke of war is rising, the people are displaced, the clans are divided, the imperial power is falling apart, and the troubled times are like a long night, hoping for the dawn but not getting it. The Yang family of Hongnong, a member of the Ding clan in Guanxi, has established a family tradition since Yang Zhen's "Four Knowledges and Rejection of Gold". After the Yongjia Rebellion, he entered Guanzhong from the west and formed the Guanlong Alliance. He has been loyal and brave for many generations and has accumulated hundreds of years of experience. Yang Jian was born in Prajna Temple, with five pillars on his forehead. He inherited the tranquility of Zen at a young age, and spent a long time in the wind of being a general. He hid his edge in imperial studies, sharpened his ambitions in officialdom, and tempered his courage in the battlefield. He lurked in the turbulent clouds and rose up in the thunder. He has been patient for half his life, hiding his edge in calmness, guarding his family tradition in troubled times, experiencing Yu Wenhu's tyranny, Yu Wen Yong's suspicion, and Yu Wen Yun's absurdity. He has been camped step by step, like a hidden dragon in the abyss, waiting for the time to move. By marrying Dugu, we can get help from the same boat; to appease the officials and win the hearts of the world; to put an end to the chaos of the three generals, the remnants of Qing Yuwen, at the peak of power, inherit the Zen Dynasty and succeed the Zhou Dynasty, and establish the Sui Dynasty as the emperor. After ascending to the throne, he abolished the six officials and created three provinces and six ministries, reformed the harsh laws and promulgated the "Kaihuang Code", promoted the equalization of land to stabilize people's livelihood, promoted the imperial examination to break down the clans, attacked the Turks in the north, and destroyed the Chen in the south, finally ending hundreds of years of division and ushering in a prosperous era of great unification. However, the path of the emperor is intertwined with merits and demerits. In his later years, Shen Cai abandoned the crown prince and gave birth to an heir, and the heroes were wronged, which paved the way for the dynasty's hidden troubles. His life is a legend of hidden dragons coming out of the abyss, an ambition to establish a foundation, and a history of achievements and demerits leaving traces.
