Editing history: the opening inventory of the top ten emperors

Chapter 128: No. 1, Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang

"Do you want to think that I announced it directly?"

Qin Ji was a little mischievous in the video.

"Don't be so anxious, after all, it is No.1, a heavyweight existence, so let's keep the suspense in it first. How about, let's talk about why he is number one?"

Qin Ji spoke half-jokingly.

Everyone was taken aback, but it was the immortal who spoke after all.

Of course no one dared to refute.

"Let's make an analogy. I actually like to make analogies. Hu Hai has a carriage that his father left behind. It's a pity that the carriage is basically broken down. When Hu Hai got the carriage, he was stunned for a moment.

I rubbed my head, and the car fell apart before I sat on it for a while.

As for Zhu Youjian, his father gave him a tattered pot with gaps everywhere, and he couldn’t cook. Zhu Youjian had no money to buy a pot, and was hungry. He had no choice but to force the pot to cook, and then the pot was gone Gone.

As for Zhu Qizhen, it was purely because his family left him thousands of dollars of wealth, and he was frightened by others, and almost lost himself.But anyway, there are fewer servants, but the family is still there.

As for Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji, their homes have been emptied, but they are not to blame, the neighbors are indeed stronger, and he can't beat them.

And this one is of the heavyweight class, and it's not because he has neighbors or other circumstances, he just forcibly demolished a good palace by himself.

You say, is this a fool? "

"Actually, in my opinion, there is only one difference between a faint king and a tyrant, and that is that a foolish king doesn't have much merit, because most of the things he does are of no use to the real situation.

Take Chongzhen for example, he did countless things and slept soundly at night, but unfortunately he didn't do one thing right, so he is a faint king.But what if he's right?

Isn't that Mingjun?

Another example is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, uh, it is not appropriate to use Liu Che as an example, but I will use it directly here.

If he hadn't fought the Xiongnu, without Wei Qing, without Huo Qubing, there would have been no victory, only defeat. If he had lost to the end, the domestic people's livelihood would be poor, and the Xiongnu would be invincible outside the world.

So such a Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is he a faint emperor?

It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a faint king, right?Why?Because what he does determines what his evaluation is, and there are definitely good and bad things.Doing it right is a good thing, doing it wrong is a bad thing.

So is it possible that something was wrong at the time, but it was right later?It may sound strange to you, like the Song Dynasty who emphasized culture over military affairs. It was fine at the beginning, but huge problems arose later.

So it was criticized, so how to judge such a thing?

Is it a little foggy?But it doesn't matter, after all, it doesn't matter much.

Let's go straight to our penultimate one!

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty——Yang Guang! "

Ying Zheng: "Sure enough, when I heard the death of Sui Dynasty II, I probably guessed it."

Liu Che: "Same as the First Emperor."

Liu Bang: "Almost."

Zhu Zhanji: "Yang Jian, come out and give a speech?"

Yang Jian: "Hey, there's nothing to say, what else can I say? Those shitty things happen one after another, and it's normal to be the last one. If he wasn't the last one, I still don't believe it.

A prosperous dynasty, do you know what a prosperous dynasty is?

It means that the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone is prosperous, there are no natural disasters, no man-made disasters, no foreign enemies, domestic food is abundant, soldiers are willing to fight, and generals are strong.

But just like that, the Sui Dynasty fell.You said, could this not be the number one stupid king from the bottom? "

Li Shimin: "Although I don't want to say it, after all, there are always people who think there is something wrong with me, but in fact, my world is fought back by myself, and when I fight back, the world has already been broken.

I lived from the time of Emperor Sui Yang.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were only 200 million households in the country, which was even slightly insufficient. When it came to me, it was almost 300 million households, and the population had increased somewhat. "

Liu Che: "Just ask politely. How many households did this buddy have when he first came to the throne?"

Yang Jian: "Don't be polite. The population at that time was 900 million households. As for how and where they died, I think the immortals will tell you later. I don't want to say anything."

When everyone saw Yang Jian's speech, they naturally noticed that his tone was not very good.

Immediately shrugged.

He didn't speak either.

Of course Qin Ji would say that the population, not to mention anything else, at least proved the prosperity and decline of a dynasty.All of these have a lot to do with population.

At least this was the case before modern times. Of course, the decrease in population does not necessarily mean that the emperor must be a fool. Maybe it is because the foreign war is extremely brilliant?

This is also hard to say, but the population has decreased and nothing has been done yet, so it is obvious that there is a problem.

Where else could he have died?

Well, according to Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

In fact, this record is a bit shocking, so that when Qin Ji read it, he couldn't believe it, but since it is an official history book.

It won't be too big of a problem if you think about it.

Ancient historians, apart from the rest, their character is still trustworthy.

Beginning in AD [-], which is the fifth year of Daye.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty began to do a series of things, including but not limited to, building the eastern capital of Luoyang and recruiting millions of civilian husbands.Open the Grand Canal.Recruit millions of husbands

As for the Grand Canal, I will talk about it later, because there is still a detailed explanation for this thing.

Then, hundreds of thousands of civilian workers were recruited to build the Great Wall, and then millions of civilian workers were recruited to build the Grand Canal.

Subsequently, millions of soldiers were recruited to prepare to attack Goguryeo.

At this time, the Yellow River was flooding, and floods were flooding in Shandong and Henan. Regardless of the persuasion of others, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty still recruited civilians to deliver food and grass for the army.

Conquered Korea, defeated.

More than [-] people died.

This is the first time.

The next year, he continued to conquer Goguryeo, but failed, and it was also a failure, because Yang Xuangan in the rear rebelled.Return in vain.

In the next year, Goguryeo will be conquered again, and it will be defeated again. It is a bit inappropriate to say that it failed here, because Goguryeo didn't want to fight anymore, and reluctantly wrote a surrender letter.

In fact, everything is fine.

Being submissive is not counted as simply dismissing Sui Yang Emperor and letting him go.

Moreover, he did not give Sui Yang any face. The King of Goguryeo neither went to the capital to meet with Sui Yang according to Sui Yang's statement, nor did he release a large number of Sui Dynasty residents who were captured in the early years.

Purely didn't take him seriously.

So much so that when envoys went to Goguryeo, they were able to see a large number of Sui Dynasty captives.

"Sui people look at it and cry, all over the countryside."

In a practical sense, those who were captured were not much different from those who were captured because of the defeat of the Song Dynasty.

At most, there is some difference in the number of people.Of course, here is just talking about the large-scale reduction he caused to the population.

In fact, his so-called achievements, so-called achievements, not to mention all of them are farts.

But for the most part, it has nothing to do with him.

It is pure nonsense that the crime is in the present and the benefit is in the future.

The merit lies in the imagination, and the crime lies in the reality, which is almost enough.

A dynasty in its heyday was played to destroy the country. Throughout the ages, he has been the only one.

So afterward, Qin Ji also prepared to describe in detail one by one the so-called achievements of Emperor Sui Yang, the word Yang of Emperor Sui Yang.

No matter from which aspect, it is pure and well-deserved.
