emperor gong of sui

emperor gong of sui -lrb- 隋恭帝 -rrb- -lrb- 605 -- 14 september 619 -rrb- , personal name yang you -lrb- 楊侑 -rrb- , was an emperor of the chinese sui dynasty .
traditionally , he was considered the last emperor of the dynasty because he was the one who formally yielded the throne to the founding emperor to the succeeding tang dynasty , emperor gaozu of tang -lrb- li yuan -rrb- , although after him , his brother yang tong claimed the throne and continued to do so until 619 .
li had rebelled against the rule of yang you 's grandfather emperor yang of sui in 617 and captured the capital chang ` an later that year , seizing yang you and declaring him emperor , although only the commanderies under li 's control recognized him as emperor ; the rest of the commanderies continued to recognize emperor yang as emperor .
in 618 , after news arrived that emperor yang had been killed by the general yuwen huaji , li had the young emperor yield the throne to him .
the former emperor died the following year , probably on the new emperor 's orders .
