In the period of ancient Chinese feudal society, the world believed that women were appendages of men, accessories of husbands, and appendages of sons, as long as a woman had a powerful husband and son, then her life was happy and regretless. But is this really the case? Non also. In ancient China, there was a woman named Tulu Hetiani, who single-handedly saved the entire family and gave birth to four sons who became emperors, but became the most unfortunate empresses in history.
He was the wife of Torre, the fourth son of Genghis Khan. In 1227 AD, Genghis Khan died of illness at Liupan Mountain and left the throne to his third son Wokoutai. However, because the Mongols at this time were in dispute with the Kuriletai system, that is, the tribal council system, Torre became the overseer of the state. Many years later, the throne was transferred from the Wokoutai family to the Torre family, and the changes were closely related to the instigation of Lu hetiani.
He was the niece of King Klebu, who was not only good-looking, but also very talented, so he was deeply liked by Torre, and the two married and gave birth to four sons: Möngke, Kublai Khan, Hulagu, and Ali Bu brother. Torre had been following his father on expeditions, so the family's affairs were entrusted to the management of Theraus.
Originally, Genghis Khan's most wanted child to pass the throne was Torre, but for the sake of the country's long-term consideration, he finally chose Wokoutai and handed over the army to Torre. It is precisely for this reason that after Wokou took office, he was very jealous of Torre's power.
In 1232, Torre died suddenly of illness, and the cause of death is a mystery. But whatever the reason, the Torre family is facing a bloody storm. At such a time, Hethani stepped forward, took up the burden of the family, raised four excellent children, and was known for his charity. Later, when the Wokoutai family was spurned by the world, Möngke, the eldest son of the instigator Lu Hetiani, gained the opportunity to become the fourth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, and instigated Lu Hetiani to become the empress.
In the days that followed, Möngke led a large army through West Asia and into North Africa, much to the amazement of the Europeans as God's punishment; Abrigo ascended to the throne after Möngke's death and was later forced to surrender to Kublai Khan; Hulagu established the Ilkhanate on his western expedition and became the Great Khan of a country; Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains.
It is not difficult to see from this that Hethini must have been an excellent mother, and it is precisely because of her merits that later generations will call her "the mother of the four emperors". And such an achievement was achieved by instigating Lu Hethini after years of forbearance, and perhaps for her, it was not a happy experience.
