What was the final outcome of Wang in Sui and Tang Dynasties? How should we evaluate him?

Wang Manzi, whose real name is Zhi, was originally the commander-in-chief of the Western Regions, but his grandfather Zhi died at a young age, and his father changed his name to Wang to take care of his remarriage to the Wang family in Bacheng.

However, as a descendant of Hu people, Wang did not inherit the illiterate tradition and arrogant character of his ancestors because he grew up in the Central Plains. Instead, Wang loved classics, art of war and law since childhood, and he was cunning, eloquent and resourceful. When he grew up, because his father made great contributions to the court, after his father died, Wang entered the court as an official by virtue of his father's relationship.

During the reign of the emperor, Wang rose to the position of minister of war because of his military achievements. During the Great Cause, he went to Jiangdu Palace and was supervised and trusted by Emperor Yang Di. Later, he took part in putting down the rebellion in Yang Xuangan and the Shandong uprising in Henan, which made him more prestigious in Henan and established his influence in Henan. In 6 15 AD, Turks besieged Emperor Yang Di Yang Guang in Yanmen.

Wang immediately led all the troops in Jiangdu, ready to rescue the emperor in Yanmen. On the way to the rescue, Wang was unkempt and cried abnormally. He sleeps on the grass all day long without taking off his armor. Hearing this, Yang Di felt that he was loyal and trusted him more, so he was named Jiangdu Tongshou.

Since then, Wang has stepped onto the throne of the emperor step by step with his own strength. Although it was only a little over a year, it was a particularly important stroke in the long history, and what he did had a certain impact on later generations. But how did he die in history? Let's have a look.

At this time, and Wang are having a tug-of-war competition, and both of them are very tired.

The king stuck to the city and was in a desperate situation. Wang Yizhi was waiting for reinforcements from Dou Jiande, but he soon ran out of food and grass, so Wang decided to fight to the death.

Things didn't go as expected. Wang surrendered in Kaesong and was finally captured. In July of the fourth year of Wude, he returned home in triumph with two prisoners, Wang and Dou Jiande, and presented the criminals to Tang gaozu. Dou Jiande was beheaded, Wang was demoted to Shu Ren because he surrendered and fled, and the whole family was sent to Sichuan.

Because the escort was not ready, Wang's family was temporarily detained in Yongzhou, near Chang 'an. One day, several Tang officials suddenly said that Tang Yuan had a purpose and asked Wang to take it. The king rushed out, only to find that those people immediately fell into chaos and the king's life was over.

Later, it was found out that Dugu Xiude, the secretariat of Tang Dingzhou, was the leader of those people. His father, Duguji, was originally a subordinate of the king. In the first month of the second year of Wude, he tried to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and was killed by the king. Dugu Xiude killed Wang to avenge his father.

What is the evaluation of Wang in ancient and modern times?

Let's talk about what his own subordinates think of him first. At that time, after Wang defeated Shi Biao, some of Shi Biao's generals took refuge in Wang, including Cheng He, but later both of them took refuge.

It turned out that Wang Mingxian was sinister, boastful and narrow-minded. Cheng even called him "shallow and narrow-minded, but full of lies, which is very good for swearing." This is the ear of an old witch. " If subordinates think that their superiors are like old witches, it is impossible for them to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Among the heroes in the late Sui Dynasty, Wang, as a special existence, was different from Dou Jiande and other self-touching armed forces, from the Li Yuan regime differentiated from the late Sui Dynasty, and from the group established by coup. This is a military force whose sideline is loyalty to the Sui Dynasty, which shows that Wang is a traitor.

Wang was born in a complicated background. He has been smart and resourceful since he was a child. He likes reading classics and history books, especially interested in the art of war, fortune-telling and astronomical calendar calculation. Since he became an official, he gained the trust of Emperor Yang Di, and after the coup in Luoyang, he became the emperor. Along the way, it is enough to show how powerful Wang's talent and tactics are, and it is enough to show that he is a generation of adulterers.

Wang is also a versatile and fatuous emperor. He is not cut out to be an emperor. When Wang was young, he still had some talents and covered a wide range of aspects. In addition to history, he especially likes the art of war and divination, as well as computational astronomy. But at this time, he has already revealed a very annoying temperament, that is, when arguing with others, even if he is wrong, he must rely on a sharp mouth to argue three points.

We often see such people around us, which can be said to be the common fault of hypocrites, that is, they don't know how to reflect on themselves and never admit their mistakes.

Wang also likes flattery and tries his best to gain trust. Wang is also good at controlling. Every time he leads troops to war, the spoils are distributed to the soldiers, so everyone is particularly willing to work for Wang. With the trust of the emperor and the support of the soldiers, he has the basic qualities as a leader and is ready for his future independence. In order to create public opinion, for greater ambition, Wang had people catch many birds, write words beneficial to him as an emperor on silk strips, tie them around the necks of birds, and then let these birds fly and play with people in applause.

At first, when Wang became emperor, he was determined to work hard, but after a few days he got tired of it. In order to be a good emperor, he was really rewarded, and the days of Emperor Shi Chong were numbered.

In my opinion, being a hypocrite is really not the material for being an emperor.

It is a great chance that Wang can defeat Shi Mi. One of the important reasons is that he is good at winning people's hearts. Later, Wang accepted many famous Wagangzhai valiant generals, but it was precisely because of his hypocrisy and capriciousness that these people abandoned him one after another. Among them, we are familiar with Cheng, Luo Shixin and so on.

Therefore, a politician should be upright, fair, honest and trustworthy, which has little to do with Wang.
