Which emperor in ancient China ordered the closure of universities across the country?
Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was really an excellent emperor in the middle and early period. At that time, he was diligent and loved the people, not only formulated a series of measures to benefit the country and the people, but also managed the Sui Dynasty in an orderly way. But in the later period, it may be because I hate the courtiers around me preaching to myself all day.

Therefore, he has always disliked the pedantry of literati. Finally, he issued a very surprising order, that is, all schools in the country were abolished, and only one school remained, Guo Zi School, which could only accommodate 70 students, which was negligible compared with the scholars at that time.

At that time, when this order came out, many scholars wept bitterly. In their view, if they can't study, it is equivalent to breaking their future. After all, for some ordinary people's scholars, if they want to achieve something in their official career, then reading is undoubtedly their only way out.

Unfortunately, in his later years, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty simply ignored the sufferings and difficulties of these students, and made such absurd things just because of his temporary preferences.

The life of the character

Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, who claimed to be the 14th grandson of Yang Zhen, the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was born in Guanzhong Hall. His fourth ancestor, Yang Yuanshou, was appointed Sima of Wuchuan Town by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his father, Yang Zhong, rebelled in Kansai with Wendi Yu Wentai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Because of his merits, he was named Pu's surname, Ren and Da Sikong.

After his death, he was posthumously awarded as Taibao, posthumous title Huan. However, according to Chen Yinque's textual research, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty may be a Han family in Shandong Province, and his status of promoting Yang Nong should be false pretence. The so-called Yang Yuanshou staying in Wuchuan was also fabricated by Yu Wentai in order to win over the feelings of his subordinates.

On the ugly night of June (54 1 July, 2 1) in the seventh year of the Western Wei Dynasty, Lu Kutao, the wife of Yang Zhongzhi, gave birth to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty in Fengyi, prajna temple, which was said to be "full of purple" at that time.

According to Sui Shu, a monk told Lu Kutao that Emperor Wendi could not be raised like ordinary people, so she took him to another museum and raised him herself. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was deep and quiet when he was young. When he first entered the business school, even people close to him were afraid to tease him.
