An Analysis of the Attributes of Yang Guang and Li Shimin Wang in Li Mi's Strange History of Sui Dynasty

There are too many stories about Yang Guang and Li Shimin, but we might as well give them some definitions to see how much you know about these two people.

There was an emperor:

1. He is very handsome. History books praised him for his "graceful posture". This is a small piece of fresh meat.

He can fight. Before he was 20, he led his army to destroy a small country. How many 20-year-olds will play games in university dormitories all night now?

3. During the civil war in China, northerners defeated southerners most of the time. Because he has a few exceptions. When he was 40 years old, he went to Zhangye City, Gansu Province, and all countries in the western regions believed in it. Since then, Gansu, Xinjiang and Qinghai have become an inseparable part of China.

4. What kind of hero do you want to be? He can also write beautiful articles. In the history books, Jiang Zi once praised him: "studious and good at writing." Give two chestnuts: "Autumn wind can go to Wan Li Road." Western jackdaw in the west flew to several places and wandered in this remote village. Sao nian, can't you write such a good poem?

China's imperial examination system has many problems, but in ancient times, it was indeed the best channel for countless "poor second generation" to succeed. You should know how wonderful it is to have such an examination system that doesn't spell "dad" in this hierarchical age. He built this system.

6. "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education. No matter how hard you work, you can't let your child suffer. " He understands this fact. He restored the abolished schools at all levels. Only this, the pros and cons are endless;

7. He organized people to compile many books. His dynasty had a collection of 370,000 volumes and more than 77,000 kinds. More than all previous dynasties;

He built a canal with a total length of 2700 kilometers. 20 times that of the Panama Canal. So far, some parts of our "South-to-North Water Transfer Project" have to rely on this canal;

9. When we talk about building a "society ruled by law", legislation should be the major premise. He promulgated a law, deleting all the excessive clauses in the previous law and making it more relaxed. By the way, this method is so good that future generations have directly accepted it.

Well, Li Shimin is the emperor who is both civil and military and has a high value, right? No, he's a famous bad king representing Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di.

There is such an emperor:

1. I cannot be emperor. Because the prince is not him, and he is not a prince. In order to become emperor, he killed the prince's brother and four brothers who helped him, and put him under house arrest to forcibly inherit the throne. Are they biological father and son? Both;

At the age of 2.46, he led 654.38 million troops to attack small countries. After months of fighting, he made great sacrifices, but he was still not killed. He himself was embarrassed to admit that it was a failure;

As the saying goes, "criticism is meaningless, praise is meaningless." He doesn't listen to criticism from others. He once threatened a minister who often criticized him naked and said, "I will kill this countryman one day." Later, he ordered the tombstone of the countryman to be removed. How much hatred can this cause?

Instead of killing the farmer, he killed a founding hero. Did the founding minister make any big mistakes? No. Because the priest believes in superstition, he hangs out with several fortune tellers. Adopted 500 adopted sons, was accused of "rebellion" and was killed, and all his property was confiscated;

He also killed a minister named Liu Ling, because he was worried about his safety during the war, which he thought was an interference in the right of inheritance. Liu Yue was angry: "If you change history, others will write down the real history." ;

6. Liu Yue's "changed history" is the "residence notes" he wants. It is the first-hand information that historians record the emperor's daily words and deeds. In order to avoid suspicion, the former emperors would not ask for a visit. He not only read it, but also asked historians to revise it according to their own requirements;

7. Killing and slaughter have been despised by the world since ancient times. That's what he did. That year, he was 20 years old, not yet an emperor, and worked hard outside. On the way back from attacking Jinzhou, I slaughtered a small town in Xia County.

Another cruel thing he did was to attack with water in the battle. As we all know, Guan Yu, a famous soldier of the Three Kingdoms, once drowned the Seventh Army. But Guan Yu flooded the enemy. He even drowned the enemy with our army. I think our general who struggled in the flood must regret following the wrong boss.

9. Swallow: "The dishes are colorful, too." He is no exception. When I killed my fourth brother, I took my brother's wife. Later, he killed another minister and took away his two little widows. To survive, he even took an aphrodisiac. He was strong when he was young, but he only lived to be 50 years old. Experts say that this has a lot to do with his taking a lot of aphrodisiacs.

So, is this the unfilial, cruel and lewd emperor Yang Guang? No, he is the Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong in everyone's mind.

History is such a paradox, far beyond people's imagination.
