Sui Wendi Sui Wendi is a man with brilliant achievements and outstanding achievements. How did he die? First, we have to start with his son. He and Queen Dugu have five sons, namely Yong Yang, Yang Guang, Yang Jun, Yang Xiu and Yang Qiong. At first, according to the hereditary system, the throne of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was inherited by his eldest son, and his eldest son Yong Yang was appointed as the Prince. But who would have thought that Yong Yang was a womanizer and had many mistresses? This is also extravagance and waste, which is very different from his father Yang Guang. This caused the literary queen Dugu Jialuo to be quite dissatisfied, and Yang Guang liked to please his mother, and finally made Yang Guang a prince.
It is reasonable to say that Yang Guang has become a prince, with power in his hand and a shoo-in. It is only a matter of time before he becomes emperor. Why bother to reinvent the wheel at this juncture? I think a big reason is that Emperor Yang Di's fatuity and pleasure-seeking led to the intensification of contradictions at home and abroad and the resistance of ordinary people, so he was criticized. We can infer from some historical records that Yang Guang didn't kill his father.
The historical records of Yang Jian's death are as follows: On the 27th day of the first month, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty went to Renshou Palace. On the 28th day of the first month, Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty issued a letter, handing over the court's financial power, reward power and all affairs, big and small, to Prince Yang Guang. In April, Emperor Wendi began to feel unwell; In June, the court announced an amnesty. On the 10th day of July, Emperor Wendi of Sui suddenly became seriously ill, and summoned officials from civil and military departments urgently. On his deathbed, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty used his last strength to shake hands with ministers. The scene was extremely miserable, and both the monarch and the minister wept. On July 13th, Emperor Wendi died.
The above words can be found in Sui Shu Gaozu Collection and Zi Tongzhi Jiansui Collection. From the above records, we can see that Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was very calm, calm and serene when he died. As for handing over Jiangshan to Yang Guang, it is also very happy. In this regard, two details recorded in Biography of Sui Shu He Chou can also prove that Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and officials summoned He Chou, a minister who was closely related to them in his later years, and asked him to preside over the funeral. Then he summoned the prince and asked him to discuss with He Chou.
This shows that Yang Guang's will is still very clear when he orders people to handle their own affairs. Moreover, he gave such an important matter to his trusted minister and his son. This shows that I still trust and care about Yang Guang. Therefore, according to the above inference, it is difficult for us to see that Yang Guang killed his father Sui Wendi.
