At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Various rebel armies shook the foundation of the Sui Dynasty's rule. The edifice of the Sui Dynasty was about to collapse. Despite this, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was still addicted to wine and sex and did not take many rescue measures, which further promoted the demise of the Sui Dynasty!

In 617 AD, Li Yuan also raised troops in Jinyang. After conquering Chang'an, he supported Yang You (one of the grandsons of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, known as Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty in history, but the protagonist of this article is not him, but him. His younger brother Yang Tong) was the emperor, and Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui Yang, was the supreme emperor.

In 618 AD, the frustrated Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty had no intention of returning to the north, so he took his soldiers to Danyang Palace (today's Nanjing).

Soon, Yu Wenhuaji launched a coup in Jiangdu and killed Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang's grandson, Yang Tong, the king of Yue who stayed in Luoyang, was proclaimed emperor and was known as the emperor in history.

In the same year, Emperor Gong of Sui Dynasty Yang You, who was supported by Li Yuan, was forced to abdicate, and Li Tang was established!

As the saying goes, the house leaked and it rained all night. Before Yang Tong's position as emperor was established, Wang Shichong and others launched a coup, killed Yuan Wendu and others, and began to monopolize the power of the government. Yang Tong Completely turned into a puppet emperor!

In 619 AD, under the instigation of Wang Shichong, many ministers persuaded Yang Tong to follow the example of Yao and Shun and abdicate to Wang Shichong. This made Yang Tong indignant and cursed these veterans of the previous dynasty as having no conscience. In the end, Yang Tong had no choice but to give up the throne to Wang Shichong, and the Sui Dynasty was officially destroyed!

Although Yang Tong abdicated the throne, he could not save his life because many ministers wanted to launch a coup to kill Wang Shichong and make Yang Tong emperor again. In order to cut off their thoughts, Wang Shichong decided to kill Yang Tong and sent his nephew Wang Xingben to bring poisoned wine to force Yang Tong to commit suicide.

Knowing that he was destined to die, Yang Tong hoped to see his mother again, but Wang Xingben refused. Yang Tong had no choice but to use cloth as a mat, burn incense and worship Buddha and pray: "From now on, I hope I will not be born into a noble family.

"Then he drank poisoned wine, but he didn't die in time. Wang Xingben strangled him to death with a cloth. He was 15 years old!
