Chapter 8 Emperor Yangdi's imperial photo with the golden name

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was a famous tyrant in history.He is the second son of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. His elder brother Yang Yong was established as the prince, but he first showed all kinds of hypocrisy.Such as pretending to be simple and filial, in order to win the favor of his parents; later, he colluded with Yang Su, a power official in the court, and made a plan. Yang Su advised Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty to abolish the prince Yang Yong and make him the prince.Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was sick in the palace. He sent someone to kill Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty first, and then his brother Yang Yong, so that he ascended the throne of the emperor by virtue of treachery and conspiracy.Because of his brutal rule, great land market and extravagance during his reign.The foundation of the Great Sui Empire soon became crumbling and even collapsed, turning it into a short-lived dynasty.However, Emperor Sui Yang, who is difficult to write about in Rongzhu, has various connections with Zhaojin in legends.

Emperor Sui Yang reigned for 14 years, and he spent most of his time on tours.On the one hand, his parade is to show off to the ethnic minorities and neighboring countries, and on the other hand, it is to demonstrate to the people of the whole country.In August of the first year of Daye (AD 605) when he came to the throne, he took a boat cruise from Luoyang to Jiangbu, and did not return to Luoyang until April of the following year.In this parade, he led 100,000 to 200,000 people including kings, officials, harem concubines, maids, and imperial guards.The fleet is connected end to end, and it is more than two hundred miles long.All states and counties that pass through must contribute food within five hundred miles, and consume everything along the way.All are supplied by the states and counties, and the people are miserable.In the third year of his ascension to the throne, he toured Yushi City in the north (now northeast of Zhungeer Banner, Inner Mongolia) to the Turkic Qiminsi Khan Tent; In the fifth year, he traveled westward to Zhangye (now Zhangye, Gansu Province), and met with many envoys from the Western Regions; in the sixth year, he traveled to Jiangdu; County) Guan; in the twelfth year, he visited Jiangdu three times.This year's parade fled in a panic under the raging tide of peasant uprising.After escaping to Jiangdu, he showed his extravagant urbanity to the fullest.This time he was even more promiscuous.Order people to keep asking voters to ask beautiful women to enter the palace, and indulge in wine and sex day and night.Facing the raging tide of peasant uprisings.He himself seemed to have sensed that the end was coming.At this moment, according to "Zizhi Tongjian - Volume 185", he once took a selfie in the mirror and said to Empress Xiao, "Good head, who should cut it off?" .Finally lowered his proud head.To the fourteenth year of Daye (AD 618).Yu Wenhua and his subordinates mutinied in Jiangdu and broke into the palace.Strangling Emperor Sui Yang to death with a scarf, the fate of the Sui Dynasty was buried in the hands of this shameless dictator.

The story of Sui Yangdi and Zhaojin, according to folklore, happened during this endless tour to the north.In this northern tour, Emperor Sui Yang set out from the newly built Daxing City in the southeast of the old Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty when he ascended the throne, and patrolled to the north through Qin Zhidao (now changed to Yudao).There are more than 100,000 army chariots and horses, and a parade team of more than 500,000 people. At that time, the country was rich and beautiful, and the palace tents and utensils were all extremely luxurious.The supply of food and grass is successively on the road, and it does not stop for thousands of miles.On the broad Qin Zhi Road.All the way, the dragon flags cover the sun, the phoenix covers the sky, the chariots are like water, and the imperial horses are like dragons;At night, climb up and have a look.The parade is full of lights, like the stars in the sky.The smug Emperor Jingyang, wherever he went, summoned his ministers to watch the victories of mountains and rivers, drink wine and compose poems to enjoy family happiness.The parade team can only march 20 to 30 miles a day, and if they encounter mountains and rivers that are visible, they will not be able to travel for a few days.The food and beverages tributed by the counties and counties along the way are as close as mountains and seas.At noon on this day, passing through the Qili River, where the peach pistils are flying across the banks of the forest, you can have a panoramic view of Shimen Xiongguan.Emperor Sui Yang, who opened his sleepy eyes, just woke up from the singing and dancing, and walked out of a dream, and was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of Xiongguan in front of him.He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and hurriedly asked the courtier beside him, Pei Ju, what is here.Pei Ju panicked and counted the strategic significance of building the Qin Zhidao and Shimen Xiongguan in detail. Seeing that Emperor Yang's interest increased greatly, he said to Emperor Yang: "Shimenguan has a secret door next to the road, which leads to the northern foot of Changsheling." In a place in the depths, the ancestor Wendi once built a Shende Temple in Sidiling Dharma Master Salman Senghui. If your majesty can visit it, you can have the name of loyalty and filial piety, and you can pay homage to the Buddha and show your majesty's great kindness Great virtue, do you know what you want?Emperor Sui Yang, who was wronged by his father, had a righteous mind. Through this trip, he can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery and ancient temples, but also clean up his crimes. Why not do it!All civil and military officials, concubines and concubines were full of traffic, and they marched mightily on the long snake ridge in Shimen Mountain, which winds for hundreds of miles.As we approached Shende Temple, the afterglow of the setting sun shone over us.Shining on the golden silk thread clothes of the emperor's chariot, chariot and accompanying princes and ministers, the golden light shone all over the place for a while, and the golden wall was brilliant.Jing Yangdi, who saw such auspicious scenery through the chariot window.He hurriedly called the ministers to ask where this place is, and the ministers were also shocked by the radiant scene in front of them, and they booed each other, unable to answer.Seeing the embarrassment of Pei Ju and other ministers, Emperor Sui Yang issued a decree: Let's call Si Dizhaojin!Since then, this place has had the name Zhaojin, which has been used until now.The abrupt and steep mountain next to Shende Temple was also named Zhaojin Mountain.Zhaojin has also become a well-known important military town because of the Shenfa Temple built by Emperor Jingwen and the footprints and names given by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.Shende Temple was once again filled with cigarettes and more incense because of Emperor Sui Yang's visit.

If you carefully observe the names of the cities and towns around Zhaojin, you will know the origin of the taboo of Zhaojin.Zhaojin has names related to landforms such as Jianping, Tianyu, Chenjiapo, Siping, Grave Beach, Yangliuping, and Liushi City, and there are also ditches in Sigou, Sipi, Xiaoqiu, and Xiagaoyan, which are farther away. , slope, mound, 埝, etc. contain obvious landform features, while Zhaojin is a neutral noun that has no connection with landforms and scenery.It shows the noble origin of this name. Say it casually.From another level, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, was smart and talented.It is not inferior to all the ranks of famous monarchs in history. "Sui Shu" said that he was "eager to learn, good at writing, deep and prudent, and respected by the government and the public", which should be said to have some truth.The imperial examination system initiated by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty gave the Chinese imperial system the most complete and developed bureaucracy in the world, and made all the heroes of the world available to the emperor.The Universiade Xun he insisted on excavating also benefited later generations, allowing the subsequent dynasties to enjoy the benefits of water transportation.It's just that millions of people delayed farming and squandered reserves by conquering Korea and building the Eastern Capital and the Grand Canal.in history.Even the historians who berated him badly had to admit that he "loved him at a young age, and he had heard about it for a long time. The Wuhui in Nanping, but the fierce slaves in the north. Among Kundi, he has a unique reputation."In short, if the folklore is reliable, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty can be said to be the first emperor through the ages who has personally visited Zhaojin.
