2. Gongyu Wenxin of Qiguo: Meritorious merit is not rewarded, but he was killed

If Wang Yi's death is a sign of Yang Jian's suspicion, then the tragedy of Yuwenxin opened the prelude to the killing of heroes in the Sui Dynasty

Liang Shiyan, like Yu Wenxin, is also a highly decorated general, he participated in the pacification of the Wei Chi Hui Rebellion, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, but in the end it became his fatal sin, in the eyes of Yang Jian, Liang Shiyan is like a time bomb, which may threaten his rule at any time, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, Yang Jian was suspicious of Liang Shiyan in every way, not only did not give him a reward, but also suppressed him everywhere, and finally forced him to the road of conspiring with Yu Wenxin to rebel

Fifth, Le'an County A.D. Harmony: Small friendship, but not the emperor's heart

If the death of the first few heroes can still find some reasons for "high merit and shocking the master", then the encounter of Yuan Harmony in Le'an County is even more chilling, Yuan Harmony is Yang Jian's hair and classmate, the two grew up together since childhood, and they are like brothers, even if this friendship grew up together, it can't withstand the cruelty of the emperor's mental art

In 589 AD, Yuan Harmony was accused of rebellion, raiding his family and exterminating the clan, and the historical records of Yuan Harmony's rebellion were very brief, and did not even explain his motives and specific actions for rebellion, therefore, many historians believe that Yuan Harmony was likely to be wronged, and the reason why Yang Jian wanted to kill Yuan Harmony may be because he was worried that Yuan Harmony would rely on his special relationship with him to interfere in the government and threaten his rule

Sixth, Yu Qingze, the Duke of the Jin Kingdom: Returned triumphantly, but waited for the verdict of death

Yu Qingze, is a brave and good general, he performed well in the Sui Dynasty's southern expedition, for the unification of the Sui Dynasty made great achievements, unexpectedly, this general who made great contributions to the country, but finally died in the hands of his own people

Seventh, the prince of Yiyang County, Shiji: Outstanding meritorious service, it is difficult to escape the traitor's frame

Shi Wansui, is an outstanding general of the Sui Dynasty, he is both wise and brave, outstanding achievements, he participated in the pacification of the rebellion in Hebei, broke the Turks, pacified the south of the Yangtze River, and made great contributions to the stability and prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, and it is precisely because of his high achievements that Yang Su's jealousy and suspicion have been aroused

In 600 AD, Yang Su falsely accused Shi Wansui of rebellion in front of Yang Jian, Yang Jian listened to slander, ignored Shi Wansui's defense, and executed him in the court

Conclusion: The game of kings and ministers is a game with no winners

Looking back on the life of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, he was eloquent and strategic, ended the century-long division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, created a century-old foundation of the Sui Dynasty, and made great contributions to the unification and development of the Chinese nation

The tragic fate of the seven founding heroes is the epitome of the politics of the Sui Dynasty, and also reflects the cruel reality of the relationship between the monarch and the minister in feudal society, in the feudal society, the monarchy is supreme, the emperor has absolute power, and the courtiers are only the emperor's tools, in order to maintain his rule, the emperor often has suspicion of those courtiers who have high achievements and may threaten their rule, and finally kill them

The tragedy of these seven founding heroes also sounded the alarm for later generations of kings, how to deal with the relationship between monarchs and ministers, how to balance the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers, is an eternal political problem, a wise monarch, should know how to treat the heroes well, how to achieve the monarch and the minister complement each other, and jointly create a prosperous world
