In everyone's impression, the status of the prime minister is below one person and above ten thousand people, so the power is very large, and even some ambitious prime ministers have also vacated the emperor and made him a puppet.
And the prime minister that I want to talk about today is even more bizarre. Although he was a courtier, his life experience was very rich. He had married the empress, the princess as a concubine, and was highly valued by the emperor, who also asked him to be the adoptive father of the prince.
I believe that many partners know that such a situation is likely to be caused by the chaos of the DPRK and government. In the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, this was the status quo. The prime minister I am talking about is named Yan Timur, who was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Wenzong of Yuan.
Yan Timur was a second-generation official, and his father was a heavy minister of the Yuan Dynasty, so when Yan Timur was young, he worked as a bodyguard at the side of Emperor Wuzong of Yuan, and because of his good ability, he was promoted quickly. By the time of Emperor Yuanrenzong, Yan Timur had taken control of the military.
The imperial succession system of the Yuan Dynasty is more interesting, the father is dead, the son can inherit the throne, the brother is dead, the younger brother can inherit the throne, so you see, it is not quite chaotic.
Before Emperor Yuanwuzong died, he made an agreement with his younger brother Emperor Yuanrenzong that he would pass the throne to his younger brother, but there was a condition, that is, when his brother died, he would return the throne to Emperor Yuanwuzong's son. Emperor Yuanrenzong ostensibly agreed, but later broke the treaty.
Before Emperor Yuanrenzong died, he passed the throne to his son Yuan Yingzong, and within a few years, Yuan Yingzong was assassinated. Then emperor Taiding succeeded to the throne. Not long after Emperor Taiding became emperor, he died.
After so many chaotic events in the palace, at this time, Yan Timur had already grasped real power, and he proposed to let Yuan Wuzong's second son succeed to the throne, known as Yuan Wenzong. No one in the imperial court dared to object.
After Emperor Wenzong ascended the throne, out of gratitude, he gave Yan Timur a lot of benefits, and it was a fief, a promotion, and became the prime minister. Yan Timur got too many things at once, and people floated up. So he was unscrupulous in the imperial court.
He married The Empress of Emperor Taiding back as a wife, and also incorporated more than forty princesses into his palace and became his concubines. After doing these things, it was supposed that the then emperor Yuan Renzong should punish him, but in fact, not only did not, But Yuan Wenzong also asked the crown prince to recognize Yan Timur as his adoptive father.
Such a dynasty, chaotic, will only hasten its demise. You tell me? Welcome to leave a message to share.
