Yang Di ascended the throne on August 26th, 2 1. 604 with the help of Su Yang. During his reign, he strengthened centralization and expanded the social foundation of his rule. However, he was overjoyed and often explored the north. According to research, in just four years from 604 to 608, he spent nearly 5.4 million people to build the Grand Canal (digging Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal), the Great Wall and Luoyang City.
In the seventh year of Daye (A.D. 61year), a large-scale uprising of the people and even the nobles was triggered-the Sui Dynasty Uprising. In the eighth year of Daye (A.D. 6 12), 300,000 troops were recruited to attack Koguryo (excluding logistics 100).
During the reign of Yang Di, the imperial examination system (originated from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties) was officially listed as a national policy, which had a great influence on later generations. Since then, the imperial examination has selected talents, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal is the longest canal in the history of the world.
However, with the passage of time, some sections of the Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty lost their navigation function and were replaced by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal built by Kublai Khan in Yuan Shizu.
Other achievements include the crusade against Tuguhun (Tuguhun was conquered by Yang Di in 609, but China was restored in Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan and Qiemo counties in June15).
Seek to occupy the city (Yang Di captured the city in 605 AD, and after the army moved, Pubamo, the king of the city, returned to the motherland in Bijing, Hai Yin and Lin Yi counties. In this battle, Sui Jun died on the 4th and 5th, and the commander-in-chief Liu Fang died on the way to Banshi). Seeking Koguryo (all three wars ended in failure) had little influence on later generations.
After Yang Di ascended the throne, he levied heavy duties almost every year. In November of the fourth year of Renshou, he mobilized hundreds of thousands of farmers in Shanxi and Henan today in order to dig a long ditch to defend Luoyang. The following year, Luoyang, the capital of eastern China, was built, employing as many as two million people every month.
From the first year of Daye to the sixth year, various canals were developed, and more than 3 million farmers and soldiers were dispatched to counties in Henan, Huaibei, Huainan, Hebei and Jiangnan.
Great cause was divided into three years and four years to build the Great Wall in the east of Yulin (now southwest of Togtoh, Inner Mongolia), and twice dispatched1200,000 people, with more than half of the casualties.
Over the past ten years, a total of10 million farmers have been harassed, with an average of one servant per household, resulting in the tragic image of "the world died in service". Yang Di goes sailing every year, making three trips to Jiangdu, two trips to Saibei, one trip to the river and three trips to Zhuojun, frequently between Chang 'an and Luoyang.

Proficient in medical skills, quite familiar with Zhan Hou, won the favor of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and her husband Yang Guang, gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and made great contributions to her husband's official position.
After Yang Di ascended the throne, he was nearly forty years old, and his charm remained. He is deeply loved and respected. Faced with the loss of virtue in the power of Emperor Yang Di, he repeatedly made futile suggestions. Yu Wenhuaji launched Jiangdu Revolution, and Yang Di was killed.
After Xiao, she took her young grandson and the daughter of the royal family to Dou Jiande, followed Princess Yicheng to East Turkistan, established the grandson of the emperor, and settled in Dingxiang. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, after Li Jing pacified the East Turkistan, he welcomed Xiao back to Chang 'an and lived in Sing Tao.
Zhenguan twenty-one years, at the age of eighty-one. With the gift of the empress, the emperor Yang Di was buried in Yangzhou, and posthumous title was given priority.

Major achievements
1, politics
During the fourteen years of Yang Di's reign, at first, in order to improve the level of economic development and the convenience of people's livelihood, various buildings were implemented, including the North-South Sui-Tang Grand Canal and other arduous projects.
On the one hand, these huge projects have promoted the economy, on the other hand, they have also brought a heavy burden to people's livelihood. However, the construction of the Grand Canal led to millions of workers' casualties in China, and even the situation that "Ding Nan failed to pay for it, and women began to take it" brought unstable factors to the Sui Dynasty.
In addition, while carrying out this policy, Yang Di also collected rare materials and stones from Jiangnan and the north of Wuling to reward himself.
In order to be perfect, they brought local specialties, rare birds and animals to Beijing and spent a lot of labor. Emperor Yang Di also sent an army to Koguryo. After years of fighting, he killed millions of Sui troops in foreign countries, which indirectly triggered the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
2. Economy
In the first year of Daye (605), at the beginning of his succession, Yang Guang recruited more than one million people from Henan and Anhui, and opened a collection canal (called Guangji Canal in Tang Dynasty and Bianhe River in Song Dynasty) from Luoyang to Huaishui.
In the same year, more than 100,000 people from Huainan were sent to dig ditches and enter the river from Yang Shan (now Huai 'an, Jiangsu) to Yangzi (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), also known as "Yang Shan blasphemy". It is more than 4,000 miles from Daxing to Jiangdu (now Yangzhou).
Avenue was opened on both sides of the canal. In order to beautify the environment and encourage people to get close to it, elms and willows have been planted [20], which can be described as a contemporary good strategy. In the fourth year of the Great Cause (608), more than one million people from Hebei were recruited, and the Yongji Canal was opened to make Qinshui reach the Yellow River in the south and Zhuo Jun (now Beijing) in the north.
In the sixth year of Daye (6 10), the Changjiang River was opened, from Jingkou to Yuhang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang). From the first year of Daye (605), it took six years to dig Han ditch, Tongji canal, Yongji canal and Jiangnan canal.
3. Military
In the seventh year of Daye (665,438+065,438+0), after the Grand Canal was completed, Emperor Yang Di recruited 300,000 combat troops to attack Koguryo in the eighth year of Daye (665,438+02).
Goguryeo was also shaken all over the country, and Sui Jun thought it was a piece of cake. As a result, Liaodong City and Heping Tucheng suffered heavy casualties and were defeated. The next year, he sent troops to besiege Liaodong City again, but Yang Xuangan rebelled at home, and the emperor Yang Di had to be rehabilitated.
In the tenth year of Daye (6 14), the third time he sent troops to attack Koguryo, and King Koguryo was defeated. Only by surrendering, did Emperor Yang Di move his troops back to the DPRK, exhausted his national strength, and civil war broke out everywhere, and soon he died.
4. Culture
Yang Di, Emperor Yangdi of Sui Dynasty, was one of the most controversial poets in Sui and Tang Dynasties. His administration and merits and demerits were controversial.
His poetic style is broad, not only magnificent when thousands of troops went out to war, but also describes the quiet river scenery of the Yangtze River in the sunset. At the end of his imperial career, he seemed to realize that his imperial luck was over, and his poetic style changed into loneliness and feelings, with lyric poetry as the main tone.
