After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, his political, military and economic talents were fully demonstrated. First of all, politically, he took the initiative to reform, modify the criminal law and system, and implement the administrative system of three provinces, six departments and two counties, which not only consolidated centralization, but also made the divided Northern and Southern Dynasties develop in a unified direction. Secondly, economically, he is very considerate of the people, reducing taxes many times, reducing the burden on the people and promoting agricultural production. Militarily, it adopted the policy of military defense and political appeal to the surrounding emperors and towns, effectively handled various contradictions, and was honored as "Saint Khan".
The influence of such a powerful emperor spread abroad. In the list of 100 celebrities who have influenced the course of human history written by American scholar Michael hart, only three China celebrities are on the list. They are Qin Shihuang ranked 18, Genghis Khan ranked 2 1, and Emperor Wendi Sui ranked 82.
Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, can be praised by historians all over the world, honored as "Holy Khan" and convinced by everyone. What are the outstanding points?
The most famous story of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty is the love story between him and his only wife, Dugu Jialuo. Emperors often have 3,000 beauties, such as the empress who manages harem and concubines, which is different from Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. Du Gu Jialuo, the seventh daughter of Taibao Du in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, married Sui Wendi, the eldest son of then general Yang Zhong, at the age of fourteen. The couple went through many storms and gave birth to ten children. Their feelings are enviable.
After Emperor Wendi ascended the throne, he resolutely opposed the favor of other beauties and only spoiled his only queen, Dugu Gao. So that in their later years, they even had an ironic anecdote. At that time, Emperor Wendi of Sui somehow took the initiative to date other beautiful women, and Dugu Jialuo was jealous. They also ran away from home and finally confessed to forgive each other and made up.
Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was not only single-minded about the feelings of husband and wife, but also very strict about the management of court officials. What did he do to control official corruption? According to Sui Shu's records, Emperor Wendi asked his cronies to "closely inspect all officials", and once he was found to be greedy for ink, he would go to hell to pay. How strict is he? According to records, he once went to fishing law enforcement and sent someone to pay bribes on purpose. Once an official was cheated, and Emperor Wendi of Sui put him to death on the spot. The law is so strict, who dares to be greedy for ink?
Not only that, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the emperor of Sui Dynasty, was also very concerned about the people, especially the poor. He once did one of the most famous things, and was also called "the son of heaven" in history. According to records, after Emperor Wendi made Chang 'an his capital, it became an administrative center. Therefore, the population of Chang 'an is increasing, and more and more food is needed. Unfortunately, the productivity was very backward at that time, and the agriculture in the counties near Chang 'an was underdeveloped. In the event of floods and other disasters, grain production will be greatly reduced, and the grain supply in Chang' an Center will not keep up.
Sui Wendi Sui Wendi took many measures to solve the problem of food shortage in Chang 'an. For example, building a waterway trestle, encouraging people around to transport food to Chang 'an, and reducing taxes … but this only solves the superficial problem.
Until May of the 14th year of Emperor Kai, there was a drought in the states of Guanzhong area and an earthquake in Chang 'an, and the people did not have enough to eat. Many poor people go to rich places around them to beg for food, such as Luoyang at that time. Emperor Wendi of Sui was afraid that the poor could not get food, so he pretended to be the "leader" of the escape brigade and followed hundreds of poor people to beg in Luoyang. According to the historical records, "When you enter the city, you eat in Luoyang". Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was honored as "Eating the Son of Heaven" because he loved the people like a son.
I have to say that those interesting historical stories of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty are really amazing. His greatness can even be compared with that of Li Shimin. One is like the moon, and the other is like the sun, which shines brilliantly in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Unfortunately, Tang Emperor Li Yuan, caught in the middle, became a firefly in their contrast.
