In the last issue, we talked about the frequent changes in the throne of the Yuan Dynasty
This led to a large-scale civil war in 1328
Battle of two capitals
after this war is over
The political situation in the Yuan Dynasty was still turbulent
All eyes are on a pair of brothers
It all started 20 years ago
Yuan Chengzong died in 1307
The throne is vacant
At that time, there were two forces that had the greatest hope of ascending to the throne.
One is Yuan Chengzong’s nephew Haishan
and his brother Aiyu Lipibada.
One is Yuan Chengzong’s cousin Ananda, King of Anxi
Amanda becomes the vassal king in Xi'an
There are 150,000 troops
Haishan has long guarded Chenghai to the west of Helin.
During a ten-year military career
He successfully suppressed the Chaktay Khanate
and the Wokuotai Khanate
armed rebellion led by
Extremely strong military strength
his brother Ai and Lebanese Bada
Become a vassal king in Qingyang, Henan
Closest to Dadu
But there is no army at hand
The queen of Yuan Chengzong had a personal feud with the Haishan brothers
Afraid of revenge on him if they ascend the throne
I just want to support Ananda to ascend the throne and become the emperor.
So he secretly summoned Ananda to Beijing
Ananda, in order not to leak the news
Come alone
Didn't bring troops
Seas and mountains are far away in rivers and forests
Secret encounter with Leba
Lebanon hesitates
We have to wait until my brother's army arrives before we can discuss it.
His teacher Li Meng advised him many times
Ask him to act decisively
If you wait for your brother to come back
Amanda is already cooked
It will be too late to regret it by then
With the encouragement and urging of the teacher
In the name of mourning
Entering Beijing secretly with his staff
And the day before Ananda was scheduled to ascend the throne
sudden coup
Traped and killed the Queen and Ananda
Facing the empty throne
Love and Lebanon
Lebanon couldn't help but feel excited
He sent someone to Helin to deliver a message
Test your brother
He said he had asked a master to tell his fortune
If my brother succeeds to the throne
There will be a big disaster in the country
Of course Haishan knows what he means
very unhappy
I sent someone to reply and said that I would decide on this throne.
Then he marched to Dadu with 30,000 elite troops.
The younger brother is helpless
Can only pretend to be humble
Waiting for my brother to come back and inherit the throne
But Haishan also understands
If it weren't for my younger brother's decisive decision,
Enter the capital to eliminate the Queen and Aranda
I can't ascend the throne so smoothly either.
So after he ascended the throne
He did not make his son the crown prince
Instead, he made his younger brother Aiyu Liba Libada the emperor.
Brother Haishan is Yuan Wuzong
His younger brother Aiyu Liba Libada is Yuan Renzong
The two brothers made a pact
The content is that the throne should be among the descendants of these two people.
Pass in turns
The five-man beast
Unexpectedly, after Renzong succeeded his brother to the throne, he
In order to let his descendants occupy the throne exclusively
Broke the agreement immediately
Started wearing small shoes for my brother’s two sons
Wu Zong's eldest son He Shila
Because he was persecuted by his uncle Renzong
On the way to Yunnan
Launched a mutiny in Yan'an
This mutiny happened in a hurry
ultimately failed
The greatness of the Yuan Dynasty
There is no place for him anymore
He Shila and his party had no choice but to flee abroad.
They eat and sleep in the open
Braving frost, rain and lightning
Travel through the vast desert and Gobi
Arrive at the foot of the Altai Mountains
Went to defect to the Chakotay Khanate
Here he met two women
gave birth to two sons
Out of the sensitive status of prince
There are two women who love him
He Shi Na, who is far away from right and wrong
that's all
I have lived carefreely in Mobei for more than ten years.
This should be the happiest time in his life
After He Shila fled to Mobei,
Tutimur
He was also sent to Hainan Island by Renzong
Later he returned to the mainland to guard Jiangling.
But there are people
There are rivers and lakes everywhere
It's impossible to quit
Due to the frequent changes in the throne of the Yuan Dynasty,
Yan Tiemol, Wu Zong’s former subordinate
In 1328, he launched a war between the two capitals.
Want to take back the throne
Wuzong lineage
Yantimore was eager to find a descendant of Wuzong to inherit the throne.
The brothers immediately became the center of the storm
His elder brother He Shila was in the Chakotai Khanate.
It’s too far away from Dadu
Wait for him to come back and take over the throne
The day lilies are cold
then
Yan Tiemu'er took his younger brother Tiemu'er, who lived in Jiangling,
Received Dadu's succession
Historically known as Yuan Wendong
In the end, the two of them worked together to defeat the Xanadu Group.
seized control of the country
But the problem is not that simple
Wenzong is the younger brother
He's Lacai is the eldest son
More qualified than him to inherit the throne
Wenzong publicly stated many times that he would give up his throne to his elder brother.
And in the second month after the civil war ended
He sent people to Mobei to welcome his brother back to become emperor.
The kings of Mobei have been dating He Shila for more than 10 years
Very good relationship
also expressed support
So He Shila was on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month
Yu Helinzhibei succeeded to the throne as emperor
Historically known as Yuan Mingzong
Wenzong sent Yan Tiemo
Departing from Dadu to welcome the emperor’s brother
a month later
Yan Tiemo arrived at the location of Mingzong
Hand over the Emperor's Royal Seal
In order to express my gratitude to my brother who takes the overall situation into consideration
Yuan Mingzong did not make his son the crown prince
Instead, he established Wenzong as the emperor
They completely replayed the story of their fathers
After Yuan Mingzong ascended the throne,
With 1,800 guards
Heading from Mobei to Dadu with Yan Tiemo
on the way back
Yuan Mingzong methodically transferred his cronies to
Placed in the real power department
What makes Yan Tiemo even more unhappy is that
Yuan Mingzong also took away the military position he cared about most
Privy Councilor
Yan Tiemu is not just here to send the jade seal
He came to Mobei in person
In fact, there is another purpose
It’s to get to the bottom of Yuan Mingzong
Let’s see if he’s suitable to be a puppet
But Yuan Mingzong's performance made him feel like a light on his back
My elder brother has much more experience than my younger brother
Emotional intelligence and means are higher than the Himalayas
Moreover, there is a strong tone between words and deeds.
along the way
Many of his own people are already completely devoted to him.
Yan Timur felt that this person was by no means an ordinary person.
Not as easy to handle as his younger brother at all
I risked my life and fortune to win the battle between the two cities.
Isn’t it just for the powerful ministers to dominate and prosper?
If he secures the throne
Sooner or later, your rights will be taken away
I can't be a minister without fighting a civil war.
After a civil war, you become the emperor, but I still can’t be a minister.
So wasn't the fucking civil war in vain?
an evil thought
started popping out of his head
After four months of trekking
Minzong arrived in the north of Zhangbei County to meet Emperor Huangtai
he is very happy
Banquet for all ministers
and my brother who has been separated for more than ten years
We held hands and chatted for a long time
The atmosphere is very harmonious
After the banquet is over
Yan Tiemu'er secretly ran to the Emperor's residence
Talked secretly all night
What did the two of them say?
The outside world has no way of knowing
But the Emperor should have been hesitant at that time.
Yantiemu'er stayed at his place for three consecutive nights.
He finally made up his mind
three days later
Yuan Mingzong, who had wandered all his life, died violently of poisoning in his sleeping chamber
Aged 30
After the news came out
Huangtai Emperor and Yantiemu'er
Arriving at the scene as soon as possible
The unfortunate brother who saw bleeding from his orifices
The emperor couldn't help but burst into tears
As for how real or fake these tears are?
Only he knows
Maybe he really wanted to be a good brother
But under the temptation of the throne
He acquiesced in Yan Tiemu'er's actions
Yan tiemo is different
This guy is a real gangster
Too lazy to even cry
After he entered the sleeping tent
Rummaging through boxes and cabinets in front of Mingzong’s body
He immediately carried the emperor's jade seal into his arms
I took the Emperor with me that day
I rode a horse and galloped back to Dadu.
After Yuan Wenzong succeeded to the throne for the second time
Basically, the power was transferred to the eunuch.
Be a puppet with peace of mind
In order to ensure that his descendants can inherit the throne
Yuan Wenzong poisoned Mingzong's queen
and
Exiled Mingzong's eldest son Tuohuan Temu'er to Goryeo
Later he was driven to Guilin
What's even more outrageous is
Wenzong ordered his imperial literati to
Slandering Tuohuan Tiemu'er as not being Mingzong's biological son
But the little emperor in the late Song Dynasty
Uncle and son of Song Gongdi Zhao Xian
Yan Timur helped Yuan Wenzong succeed to the throne twice
Arrogant
He married 40 royal women alone
He even got the Taiping Emperor's queen into bed.
There are so many other women that I can’t even recognize them all.
Yan Tiemo once hosted a banquet for the prime minister
Many men and women have been specially arranged
It’s called Yuanyang Club
At the meeting he caught a glimpse of a woman in the corner
Born very beautiful
So I told my left and right to inquire about it.
Whose family does this beauty belong to?
Uncle, I want to take her home
It feels so good
Tell her about Taishi
This beauty is from your family
But Yan Tiemu'er has no idea about government affairs.
Belongs to Buddhist administrators
Although I have the right
But don't mess around
His pursuit is very clear
It's money and women
I can't sleep if I don't have sex with a woman every night
The majestic smoky iron fungus on the battlefield
Finally died under the thin waist of a woman
three years later
due to excessive sexual intercourse
He has serious problems with his kidneys and bladder
died of hematuria
Only lived for more than 40 years
Winning the civil war with direct troops
And is good at doing strenuous efforts to establish prestige
Yan Timur holds Dong Zhuo and Er Zhu
Rong's script forced him to become a high-ranking official in Ximen.
What a waste of talent
And what about Yuan Wenzong?
Good people can't do it
Being a bad person is not complete
He has been unable to get out of the shadow of killing his brother
I often dream about my brother
Huge psychological pressure
Can't sleep all night long
He passed away after being emperor for just over two years.
Than the eunuch fungus who plays with women every day
Still a few months too early to die
Yuan Wenzong revealed the truth before his death
I regret that I killed my brother for the throne.
to make up for mistakes
He did not appoint his son as emperor in his will
Instead, he made his elder brother’s son the emperor.
Later, it went through some twists and turns
Mingzong's eldest son Tuohuan Tiemu'er inherited the throne.
This is Emperor Yuan Shun, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty
Fire badger, iron fungus, means iron pot in Mongolian
Judging from the subsequent historical trajectory
Regarding the demise of the Yuan Dynasty
He is indeed just a scapegoat.
The Yuan Dynasty cut off its limbs in repeated internal strife.
There is no cure for it long ago
