Emperor Yang of Sui
569 CE–618 CE · Luoyang
Emperor Yang of Sui, born Yang Guang, was the second Sui emperor, reigning from 604 to 618. He completed the Grand Canal linking the Yellow and Yangtze river systems, rebuilt Luoyang as an eastern capital, and expanded the examination system. But his lavish projects, repeated costly campaigns against Goguryeo, and heavy labor levies exhausted the population and sparked widespread revolt; he was assassinated in 618, and the Sui swiftly collapsed.
