Yang Guang, Emperor Yang Di of Sui Dynasty, has a great title. During his fourteen years in office, he vigorously built Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and even exhausted the people's strength, making the world miserable, so the world hated him more and more. During the war, I personally went to the west to beg for Tuyuhun and Sanzheng Koguryo, which made the country badly weakened and the economy almost collapsed. He is very extravagant, and all the businessmen who came to appear before the Western Regions were free. When he met with Qimin Khan, he gave two million horses in brocade alone, and other Turkic leaders kept other horses.
During 6 13 years, Yang Di went to Koguryo for the second time. Yang Xuangan grain stranded, seized the opportunity to rebel, stationed in Liyang, and attacked Luoyang, the capital. In 6 16, Zhang Jin of Qinghe claimed that after he led the army to conquer Pinggen, Hebei Province, he even let Wu Kean, Julu and Qinghe counties leave no chickens or dogs wherever they went.
In 6 18, Sima de, Ethan and Pei Qian conspired to elect Yu Wenhuaji as the leader, led the army into the palace, and others were arrested. After Yang Guang was arrested, he naturally knew that he had nowhere to run. Finally, he said, "Every son of heaven has a way to die. How can he move his knife? Give me a glass of wine. " Hearing this, the rebel side smiled. It is ridiculous that they want to keep their emperor's dignity when they are dying, and they don't forget the way they live a lofty life.
So the rebels rejected Yang Guang's request. Helpless, Yang Guang said, how about leaving a whole corpse? So he took out his silk scarf and Linghu Daxing hanged himself with it. At this time, Emperor Yang Di was 50 years old.
