Everyone may know the bullish words of Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty: The dynasty is not harmonious, does not pay compensation, does not cut the land, and does not pay tribute! In other words, the Ming Dynasty became the only hard-line dynasty in Chinese history that was "discordant" and pro-family. So, what about the equally tough Yuan Dynasty? Have you ever had a relationship experience?
There have been, but let's tell a story today, and everyone will understand how the Yuan Dynasty was close to each other.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, counterinsurgency rebels came to Goryeo. At that time, the king of Goryeo already knew the strength of the Mongol army, so he not only provided grain and grass but also assisted with troops. The Yuan Dynasty saw the king of Goryeo with a submissive attitude, and did not destroy it, learning from the Han people, recognizing it as a vassal state, and letting them pay tribute to the Yuan Dynasty every year with many ginseng, cattle and horses, etc., of course, their favorite is the beautiful women of Goryeo tribute.
In order to control Goryeo, the Yuan Dynasty also stipulated that the children of the Goryeo royal family needed to go to the Yuan Dynasty as protons to learn the culture and customs of the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, the succession of the kings of Goryeo was also legal with the consent of the Yuan Dynasty.
However, the greedy Yuan Dynasty increased the number of items paid tribute to Goryeo year by year, and even small things such as paper and ink were on the list of tributes. The heavy task of "tribute" overwhelmed the Already miserable Goryeo people. Coupled with the Fact that the Yuan Dynasty constantly demanded goryeo to pay tribute to beautiful women, this also led to the number of bare sticks in the Goryeo kingdom becoming a huge team, which made the Goryeo people full of hatred for the Yuan Dynasty.
In 1345, emissaries of the Yuan Dynasty were killed on their way out of Goryeo. The news of the emissary's murder immediately shocked the Yuan dynasty royal family, and many ministers said that they should immediately send troops to attack Goryeo, otherwise they would raise tigers in the future.
However, the supreme ruler of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuanshun, believed that attacking Goryeo would definitely become a problem with grain and grass; in addition, the national strength of the early Yuan Dynasty was greatly affected by continuous conquest, and if he led a large army to attack Goryeo at this time, if the Goryeo people harassed the Yuan army by fighting guerrillas, the Yuan army might not have a chance of winning.
Emperor Yuanshun thought about it, and suddenly thought of Wang Qi, the younger brother of King Zhonghui of Goryeo who was working as a proton in the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Yuanshun believed that if the princess was married to him and then put him on the throne of Goryeo, with blood relations, Goryeo would be very obedient to the Yuan Dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Yuanshun betrothed his granddaughter Bao'er Only Jin Pagoda to Wang Qi.
According to historical records, Wang Qi was a teenager at that time, and Bo'er was only 23 years older than him. By reckoning, Bo Er only Jin Pagoda Lost Li was an old princess who was nearly forty years old.
Take an old princess to go and kiss, the Yuan Dynasty really wanted to come up!
However, despite this, Wang Qi was very happy, because in this way, there was a big mountain of the Yuan Dynasty behind him. As for the Yuan Dynasty, with this son-in-law who was a hostage in the Yuan Dynasty, he was more confident about controlling the Goryeo Dynasty.
In 1349, the marriage of the Yuan Shun Emperor, Wang Qi and Bo'er Only Jin Pagoda Lost held a grand wedding. The two did not leave the Yuan Dynasty immediately after marriage, but stayed in the Yuan Dynasty for another two years.
During these two years, Emperor Yuanshun did one more thing—deposing King Zhonghui of Goryeo.
Emperor Yuanshun heard that King Chung hye was somewhat greedy and cruel, so he sent envoys to Goryeo to investigate. Supposedly, the envoys came, and the king of Goryeo had to go out of the countryside to greet him. However, King Zhonghui was probably not good at sniffing the arrivals, so he was ill and did not welcome him, and later under the persuasion of the minister Gao Longpu, he went out to the suburbs to greet him. Then the officers and soldiers of the envoys suddenly arrested King Zhonghui and his favored ministers for abusing their subjects, and took them to the Yuan Dynasty to listen to the fall.
Goryeo could not live without a king, and King Chung hye's son Wang was still young. Originally, the Yuan Dynasty was ready to send Wang Qi back to China to become king immediately. However, there was a strong demand in Goryeo for the son of King Chung hye to succeed to the throne. In order not to cause unrest, Emperor Wonjong made him king of Goryeo.
King Zhongding of Goryeo was young and young, and his foreign relatives naturally wanted to take advantage of the power. At this moment, Emperor YuanShun found a reason again. So in 1351, Emperor Yuanshun deposed King Chungding, who had only been on the throne for less than two years, on the grounds that king Chungjeong was unable to resolve the Goryeo crisis. At the same time, Wang Qi was made the King of Goryeo for the sake of King Gong.
When King Gong succeeded to the throne, the Yuan Dynasty's control over Goryeo became even tighter. However, the history books also record an incident, saying that Bo'er only married Queen Gongyu and never had children. I don't know whether it was because Bo Er only Jin Pagoda was too old to be born, or whether king Gong Felt that he was too old and did not have any affection with her at all. This can only be left to future generations to guess.
