The truth behind the mysterious deaths of Emperor Wuzong and Emperor Yuanrenzong

Emperor Yuanwuzong Haishan and Emperor Yuanrenzong Aiyu Li Bali Bada were brothers, and before Yuan Chengzong's death, he did not choose an heir to the throne, while the Haishan brothers gained an absolute advantage in the struggle for the throne, and their brother Haishan inherited the throne, which was the later Yuanwuzong. However, Emperor Yuanwuzong died mysteriously less than four years into his reign. His younger brother Aiyu Li Bali Bada succeeded his brother to the throne as emperor Yuanrenzong. However, like his brother, he died mysteriously within nine years of his reign.

Emperor Yuanwuzong Haishan died at the age of 31, and his younger brother Emperor Yuanrenzong Aiyu Li Bali Bada died at the age of 35, and even at that time, the life span of the two was not too long. According to the "History of Yuan", Emperor Wuzong of Yuan indulged in wine and died of "illness" in 1311, only serving as emperor for 3 years and 7 months. His younger brother not only inherited his throne, but also "inherited" his short life, serving as emperor for less than 9 years, and died in March of the seventh year of Yanyou (1320), at the age of 35, the same cause of death as his older brother.

In fact, to say that he died because of "indulging in wine" was unfair to both emperors. Some historians have questioned the death of Wuzong Haishan at the age of 31: First, Haishan was a military general and his physical condition has always been better; second, during Haishan's reign, he was still diligent in political affairs, and many things in the DPRK were personally decided by him, so it was impossible to "indulge in wine" at all. According to historical records, Aiyu Li Bali Bada was also a more effective emperor, and there were many reforms during his 9-year reign, and it is difficult to convince him that he "indulged in wine". So, perhaps the explanation of Seamount's death from folklore is more reasonable. Folklore says that Haishan was poisoned by his brother Aiyu Li Bali Bada, and Renzong Ai Yu Li Bali Bada was poisoned by his biological mother At the age of 35, and historians and folklore also interpret the reasons for the poisoning of the two emperors.

In 1307, Emperor Yuanchengzong Died, and his previously designated successor, Deoksho, had died at the end of 1305, and before he could re-choose the heir to the throne, he himself died, so after Yuanchengzong's death, two forces quickly formed in the imperial court to compete for the throne. One faction, led by Zhongshu Xiang (中書丞相 Ha Lahasun), supported the two brothers Haishan the King of Huaining and the Bada brothers of Aiyu Li Bali, while the other faction, led by Empress Chengzong of the Baya Wu clan, mainly supported the Anxi king Anan Da. In order to allow his supporters to ascend to the throne, both sides were secretly competing, and the chancellor Ha Lai Ha Sun refused to carry out the will of empress Dowager Baya Wu, hid the seal letter, closed the national treasury, and asked Haishan and Aiyu Li Bali Bada to quickly send troops to the capital to seize the throne by force. After receiving the news, Ayuri Bali Bada took the lead in entering Dadu, launched a palace coup, imprisoned the Baya Wu clan and the Ananda king of Anxi, and himself was the regent of the dynasty, wanting to claim the title of emperor. However, his brother Haishan also arrived in Shangdu and Lin in March of that year, hoping to claim the title of emperor in Shangdu. In this way, one of the two brothers wants to be called emperor in Dadu, and the other wants to be called emperor in Shangdu, and they are opposed to each other. Their mother replied that she had seen the situation, so she intervened to mediate and persuade her younger brother Aiyu Li Bali Bada to give up the throne and let his brother Haishan take the throne. In order to repay his brother, Haishan also named his younger brother as the heir to the throne, and the two sides also agreed that in the future, each other's descendants would pass on the throne to each other, that is, Aiyu Li Bali Bada would pass the throne to Haishan's son, and Haishan's son would pass the throne to the son of Aiyu Li Bali Bada, and the throne would be inherited by the descendants of the two brothers in turn. In this way, an impending scramble between brothers was resolved peacefully.

In May of that year, Haishan held a formal Kuritai assembly in Shangdu, proclaimed himself on the throne, and made his younger brother Aiyu Li Bali Bada crown prince, and also made him the Zhongshu Ling and privy council. However, Haishan directly ordered the appointment of officials every time, and the position of Aiyu Li Bali Bada became a decoration, so Ai Yu Li Bali Bada was very dissatisfied with his brother in his heart and gave birth to the idea of getting rid of Wuzong Haishan.

Eventually, Aiyu Li Bali Bada killed his brother and succeeded to the throne, namely Emperor Yuanrenzong. But what he never imagined was that one day he would also be killed by his own mother.

Emperor Renzong loved Yuri Bali Bada to be considered a filial son, and obeyed his mother's advice, but he preferred seamounts. After Haishan's death, she always suspected that Renzong had killed her brother, and coupled with the fact that Herbi's lover Temudi'er was regarded as a thorn in Therjung's eyes, she always wanted to find an opportunity to depose Renzong.

In fact, as an emperor, Aiyu Li Bali Bada can be called a generation of Ming Jun. Although he believed in Buddhism, he did not inhibit the development of other sects; he carried out a large number of reforms, revived the imperial examination, appointed Han officials, and was diligent and loving the people, which promoted the development of the national economy and made the Yuan Dynasty reach a period of greater prosperity in all aspects. However, these measures hurt the interests of the traitorous Minister Temujin and the Empress Dowager, making them hate him to the bone. After becoming emperor, Emperor Renzong was unwilling to abide by his old agreement with his brother and made his son Shuode Bala the crown prince, which made The Answering Self, who was already partial to Haishan, even more dissatisfied. There are also Temudi'er who have been deposed twice, making the empress dowager very faceless. In the end, he decided to get rid of Renzong for the sake of his lover Temujin and his own face. Renzong and Wuzong had a common hobby of drinking, so Heji adopted the method of poisoning the wine, so That Renzong soon died in the madness of his mother.

There is no real historical record of these events, but they are widely circulated in the folk, Emperor Renzong killed his brother for the throne, and he killed his son for his lover, and there is nothing left here in family affection, and what remains is the conspiracy and harmful means chosen only for the purpose.
