隋朝启蒙杨坚的北周禅让大计
杨坚是隋朝开国皇帝，当时北周仅仅成立了24年，静帝便禅让杨坚，这究竟是为什么呢?杨坚的父亲杨忠是北周军事贵族，武帝时期杨忠被封为随国公，此后杨坚继承父爵，并为上柱国。实际上杨坚在当上大丞相以后就有了篡权的计划，只是在等一个最佳的时机，直到静帝继位后，杨坚也做好了各方面的准备工作，这才能逼静帝主动禅让。
历史上那些肯放弃皇位的人，应该也没几位是出于真心。有人问，谁是古来得天下最为容易的君王?我觉得这是一个有意思的问题。容易是一个相对的概念。有人觉得汉高祖刘邦四十多岁起兵，依靠张良、韩信、萧何等人的帮助，最终取得了天下，是比较容易的一个;有人认为唐高祖李渊在儿子李建成和李世民等人的帮助下进驻长安，成为了唐朝的开国之君，也是比较容易的一个。
那么，Yang Jian why so easy to get the throne of the Xuanwu family? Where is the core reason?
According to historical records, Yang Jian was a man with extraordinary fate. He had five pillars on his forehead that entered into his skull, and his gaze shot outwards. This was what people called a good omen. At fifteen years old, Yang Jian was granted the title of Scattered Cavalry Commandant and Carried General due to his father's merits. By sixteen years old, he was promoted to Rongjun General-in-Chief and added Open Prefecture.
Even Emperor Xuanzong himself praised him: "This boy has great character, unlike others of our time." Indeed, Yang Jian started off at an advantage in life. When serving as an official, he was respectful and diligent; when raising children, he was filial and devoted.
He quickly won high approval from all walks of life and became a popular figure in court circles.
A good person has three helpers. Upon ascending to power initially, Emperor Xuanzong sought support from other officials out of fear for rivalries between himself and Empress Dowager Hu or her son Prince Xiao. It was then that Yang Jian stepped forward - his daughter married into the imperial family.
Yang Jian thus formed an alliance with Emperor Xuanzong - through marriage - which further bolstered their positions within court politics. Despite some believing Yang Jian harbored disloyal intentions towards Emperor Xuanzong who instead believed it fateful that one such as Yang should not be able disrupt North Zhou rule after death left office upon succession by Crown Prince Yuwen Yüan (宇文赟) following death by illness at age 7 while under care by Prime Minister Sui Shou (Sui Shen) & during reign as crown prince prior to ascension named Sui emperor without opposition amid subsequent appointment of Tang Tai Zong following deaths attributed both parents & wife respectively
From external factors alone it would seem that Sui Shou's rise owed much more than luck or merit alone but also wealth & influence passed down from father who held powerful position at birth whose lineage proved influential later on leading up eventually become first emperor
The combination however did prove crucial in securing victory over rivals including those within own ranks but ultimately success rested on sheer strength rather than just any single factor
Thus we see how these different elements came together for this man known simply as Sui Wendi
to seize control over vast territory stretching across China.
In conclusion though there are many tales about how each ruler got where they were destined
it is clear through history books written long ago
that sometimes destiny played its part yet again.
And so let us now look back upon another chapter closed
and remember always know your place no matter what path you choose
