Chapter 19 Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian
Seven days passed quickly, and the emperors returned to Mount Tai, preparing for the next call!
"The time has come!"
This is already the third time to enter the Wan Dynasty Exchange Platform, and the emperors and officials of each dynasty are very well prepared.
There are even people who specialize in reporting the time, asking the officials, people and others gathered under Mount Tai to pay attention to the video in mid-air.
With the sound of "The hour is up", the ten emperors fainted on time and then appeared on the Wan Chao Exchange Platform.
When the ten emperors arrived, the system quickly got down to business.
[The sixth among the ten most meritorious emperors in history: Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian]
"Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly. You must know that he followed his father Li Yuan in rebellion and seized the country from the son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
In the world that Yang Jian lived in, although people in the court often secretly insulted Yang Jian, saying that he usurped the throne from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was a traitor, but at this moment when he saw that Yang Jian was ranked sixth among the ten most meritorious emperors in history, he suddenly felt
Yang Jian doesn't seem to be as disgusting as usual.
As a burst of high-pitched and exciting background music sounded, a seven-character poem praising Yang Jian's achievements appeared in the video screen.
Coupled with the unique magnetic and charming recitation voice and rhythm in the video, the atmosphere of the entire live broadcast was directly brought to its climax.
【About great talent and great achievements, the country is unified and the dynasty is unified.】
[Abolish the corrupt system and promote the imperial examination, extinguish the smoke and see the sunshine.]
[Three provinces and Kyushu are in full swing, and six departments have sailed smoothly for thousands of years.]
[Integrity and frugality are the new fashion, and their fame will last forever.]
If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty hadn't been so eager for quick success and instant benefits, regardless of the life and death of the people, which led to the death of the second generation of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian might not be as unknown in later generations as he is now.
After all, in most people's minds, the emperors they are most familiar with are still "Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Zong Zong of Tang and Song Zu, Taizu Ming and Ming Chengzu" and so on.
Even Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, the son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, may be more famous than Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
The video continues to play,
After the hymn, the plot begins with an inventory of the achievements of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian.
【There is such a founding emperor in history.】
[He was born into a noble family and was the fourteenth generation grandson of Yang Zhen, the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty.]
[When he was only fourteen years old, he was recognized as a meritorious official by Jingzhao Yin Xue Shanzheng; a year later, because of his father Yang Zhong's meritorious service, he was awarded the title of Regular Attendant of Sanqi, General of Chariots and Cavalry, and the Third Division of Yitong, and was granted the title of Cheng Cheng
Duke of Ji County; a year later he was granted the title of General of Hussars and was granted the title of Kaifu.】
Liu Che was shocked: "Sixteen-year-old hussar general? Isn't this a joke!?"
However, he did not know that he would also have a 19-year-old hussar general in the future.
When Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, they shouted with disdain: "Big dog!"
Yes, compared to Yang Jian, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Liu Bang, who was born as a gangster and a cowherd boy, Zhu Yuanzhang would naturally feel very unhappy when he saw this. As for whether he was envious or jealous, it's hard to say.
【There is such an emperor, it is very easy for him to create heaven and establish an empire.
Because he was not established like other dynasties, which went through large-scale conquests, overcoming obstacles, and went through untold hardships to establish the dynasty. He just took over the country from a pair of orphans and widowed mothers.】
Liu Che frowned and murmured to himself: "Yang Jian's behavior is indeed very contemptible. Can such a person be ranked above Xiu'er, Zhu Di and the others?"
Liu Che undoubtedly valued "martial arts" very much, so he viewed Liu Xiu, Zhu Di, Zhao Kuangyin and even Xuan Ye with a sympathetic attitude.
Yang Jian's position was unfair, and he had not seen any outstanding battlefield achievements for the time being. This made Liu Che a little suspicious about whether Yang Jian could be ranked sixth.
[The dynasty he established was also very short-lived, and like the Qin Dynasty, both died in the second generation. 】
"What???" Yang Jian was shocked, "I, the Great Sui Dynasty, only existed for two generations?"
Liu Bang laughed dumbly and said: "Is it possible that his son and Hu Hai are the same thing? Then if there is a list of faint kings, they might both be on the list at the same time!"
[He was deeply suspicious by nature, far-sighted and insightful of everything. But after seizing power and establishing a new dynasty, he repeatedly set up jails and killed all the heroes who helped him seize power.]
Yang Jian: "."
Liu Fang, Zheng Yi, Yang Jian's two best friends: "."
People from other dynasties also commented one after another: "What a good guy, he is another ruthless man who kills heroes!"
"I heard that he is afraid of his wife. It's really funny!"
"By just creating the imperial examination, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian would be famous throughout the ages!"
[Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was undoubtedly a controversial emperor. Today, we will first take stock of the merits and demerits of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian! 】
[First, let’s take a look at the achievements of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty! 】
[After Yang Jian established the new regime, he ended the Xianbei culture of Yuwentai in the Western Wei Dynasty, promoted national integration, and completed domestic unification.]
[Since the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the Rebellion of the Five Husbands, the mainland of China has fallen into a state of chaos and division for more than three hundred years. 】
[And Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, unified the Northern and Southern Dynasties and ended more than three hundred years of war and separatism. He undoubtedly made great achievements in rebuilding the broken mountains and rivers of China. 】
"Hey! Isn't it shameful to steal it from a barbarian openly?" When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, no one would dare to refute him.
But no matter what, it was indeed Yang Jian who reunified China.
[After the unification of China, Yang Jian ended the Xianbei policy of Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty, and restored the Han surnames of the Han ministers and military generals who had been changed to Xianbei surnames!]
[For example, the Yang family’s original surname was Pu Liuru, and the Li Shimin family’s original surname was Daye!]
"puff!!!"
Li Shimin was so suppressed that his face turned red instantly, while Liu Bang, Liu Che, Zhu Di and others almost burst out laughing.
"Ohno?"
"Hahahahaha!!!!"
"The guy who boasts that he will be the emperor for eternity actually has such a funny Xianbei surname?"
Xuan Ye grinned and thought in his mind: "I don't think I have seen any relevant information about Tang Taizong. I will ask the ministers to check it later. If not, I must ask them to make it up!"
[Recovering the country of the Han family and restoring Chinese orthodoxy is undoubtedly the great achievement of my sons of the Han family!]
Seeing this, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but be a little confused, "Why do people in later generations call themselves the son of the Han family? Why not the son of the great Qin, the son of the great Tang, the son of the great Ming Dynasty, etc.???"
Although Liu Bang, Liu Che, and Liu Xiu also noticed this, they were originally emperors of the Han Dynasty, so they did not find this title surprising.
[In 581 AD, Yang Jian usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty, established the Sui regime, and clarified the next strategic goal: to break the situation of the three kingdoms and realize the reunification of China!]
[To accomplish this goal, two enemies need to be eliminated: one is the Chen State in the south; the other is the Turks in the north.]
[Originally, because Nanchen's strength was at a disadvantage, the Sui Dynasty's southern expedition plan prioritized the destruction of Nanchen. However, as soon as this plan started, the Turks from the north came to disrupt the situation. ]
[Due to the sudden change in the situation, Yang Jian had to change the strategic layout from "first south then north" to "first north then south" and concentrated all his efforts to subdue the Turks. ]
[The Turks were not to be outdone. In April of 582 AD (the second year of Emperor Kaihuang’s reign in the Sui Dynasty), their troops divided into four groups and launched an all-out attack on the Sui Dynasty! 】
Now Yang Jian had just seized power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was about to attack Nanchen, but he suddenly saw a video saying that the Turks would attack him first in just one year!
Even Yang Jian, who has excellent self-restraint, couldn't help but scolded his mother at this moment: "It's his mother's fault! The Turks actually attacked first?!"
Seeing the Turkic troops moving south in four directions, Yang Jian suddenly became a little anxious.
However, the video continued. Yang Jianqiang suppressed his mood and continued to watch,
[The Great Wall cannot stop the thousands-mile front of the Turkic cavalry, but unification can!]
