An important reason for the demise of the Sui Dynasty is that Xiao Ji didn't tell the truth. what do you think?

Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty ordered Shang Yi and the third secretary Xiao Ji to choose auspicious land for the lonely queen. He found a good land and said to Wendi: According to divination, this treasure can bless the Sui Dynasty for two thousand years and the empire for two hundred years.

Emperor Wendi said that bad luck lies in man-made, not in astronomy. Didn't Gao Wei choose a cemetery when he buried his father? His Beiqi is also doomed. And my Yang family's cemetery. If it's unlucky, I can't live in the same day. If it's unkind, my brother can't die.

Although he didn't agree with the benefits of choosing a cemetery, Emperor Wendi of Sui finally adopted Xiao Ji's suggestion.

When Xiao Ji returned home, he said to his family, Little Zhong Ping:

Crown Prince Yang Guangpai expressed his deep gratitude to me.

He said, you once said that I would become a prince, but it really came true. I won't forget you. You're always divining the cemetery, which will definitely make me succeed to the throne as soon as possible. After I succeed to the throne, I will ensure your prosperity. I told him that in four years, the prince would rule the world.

In fact, the prince was in charge of the Sui Dynasty, which was about to fall. I lied that it could last for two thousand years, but it was actually thirty years, which lasted for two centuries. In fact, it is two generations. You must remember this.

Xiao Ji didn't tell the truth, which caused the death of Li II in the Sui Dynasty, which can't be blamed on him. Xiao Ji knows divination and everything, but he refuses to tell the truth to Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. Xiaoji's approach is actually correct.

According to the cruel character of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, if Xiao Ji tells the truth in his lectures, he must think that Xiao Ji's evil words are confusing people and curse the Sui Dynasty, and will never let Xiao Ji and his family live.

And Xiao Ji said something that Wendi loved to hear. First, Wendi is really happy. Secondly, he couldn't see where the Great Sui Dynasty would fall. I didn't risk being killed, but I still received many gifts. Besides, the Sui Dynasty belonged to your Yang family. Whether it is destroyed is a concern of Xiao Ji. I'm just a fortune teller, not an emperor, so everyone knows how to compare.
