sui dynasty story: the later lord did not know the hatred of losing his country, yang jian favored the nobleman after his wife died

first, the fifth daughter of the sui emperor, princess lanling, married wang fengxiao, who died early. the princess was only 18 years old. the sui emperor wanted her to remarry. because his brother-in-law xiao lang was looking for a spouse, yang guang, the prince of jin, planned to marry the princess to him. but her father did not agree and ordered her to marry the internal historian liu shu. the sui emperor loved this girl the most. he was even more pleased to hear that she was respectful to her uncle and aunt and tried her best to follow the way of a woman. so he promoted liu shu to the position of minister of personnel. yang guang was the crown prince and did not get along with liu shu. he saw that liu shu sought favor and participated in politics, which made him feel more and more resentful. in addition, yang su also often resented liu shu. seeing that there was a tiger and a wolf around, how could they live in peace? at that time, wang tong, a native of longmen, was a taoist who taught in hefen. he had many disciples. he saw that the government was getting worse and worse, and the evil sons and powerful ministers were in collusion with each other. he knew that disaster was not far away, so he went to the palace to write a letter and listed twelve strategies for peace. the sui emperor could not adopt it, so wang tong planned to return home. yang su had long admired wang tong's reputation, so he invited wang tong to his home and persuaded him to become an official. wang tong replied, "i still have my ancestors' shabby house, which is enough to shelter me from the wind and rain, and a few acres of thin land, which is enough to provide me with porridge. i can enjoy reading and talking about the dao. i hope that i can be fair and just, and rule the world. i can be a peaceful citizen. i have received many gifts, so why must i become an official?" yang su was very respectful when he heard wang tong's words, so he stayed in the house for several days. someone slandered yang su, saying, "wang tong really disrespects you, why do you respect wang tong?" yang su was also suspicious, so he turned to ask wang tong. wang tong said calmly, "if you can be disrespectful, it is my good plan; if you can't be disrespectful, it is my loss. the gains and losses are my faults, and what does it have to do with you?" yang su smiled and stopped. there was no need to argue much, as the treacherous man was already convinced. wang tong saw that yang su was unwilling to change his ways, so he resigned and went home to teach students. later, when the tang dynasty was founded, wise officials such as fang xuanling and wei zheng were all taught by wang tong. wang tong died of illness at home at the end of the sui dynasty's daye period (daye was the reign title of emperor yang of sui). his disciples privately posthumously named him wen zhongzi.
