 As a result, Yang Jian became arrogant, and he and his staff member often carried out illegal deeds, and he particularly liked to seize commoner women to make them his concubines.In one instance, his aunt Yang Lihua the Princess Leping initially offered a beautiful woman from the Liu () clan to Emperor Yang, but Emperor Yang did not act quickly, and the princess offered Lady Liu to Yang Jian instead.When Emperor Yang subsequently wanted Lady Liu, he found out that Yang Jian already took her, a fact that irritated him.
