Title: The most arrogant courtier in history, killing 2 emperors and forcibly marrying empresses, 40 princesses willing to be concubines
During the Yuan Dynasty, the emergence of the powerful ministers can be described as the emergence of Zatui, especially after the Kublai Khan period, these powerful ministers were even more arbitrary and endless. During the reigns of Emperor Wenzong of Yuan and Emperor Ningzong, their chancellor, Boya Wutai Yan Timur, was even more serious, and he went so far as to openly kill the two monarchs, take the former empress for himself, and include more than 40 princesses in the palace as concubines.
Speaking of Yan Timur, he had already served at the side of Emperor Wuzong of Yuan in his youth, because his loyalty and courage were particularly appreciated by Emperor Wuzong of Yuan, so he gradually had a very ordinary bodyguard who was slowly promoted to commander, and even his prestige in the army was extremely high.
After the death of Emperor Taiding, the chancellor of the dynasty began to control the power in his own hands, and he was reluctant to let the prince go to the throne, so the court was also suspicious, so in this situation, Yan Timur began to launch his coup d'état, hoping to push Tu Timu'er to the throne of the god king, and the prime minister heard about it and immediately made the prince emperor, and then sent an army to kill Dadu, but the troops defending Dadu defeated them. By October of that year, Yan Timur began to attack, killing the emperor and his courtiers.
After that, Emperor Yuanwenzong falsely gave up his throne to his brother, but he did not expect that his brother gladly accepted to return to the capital and became Emperor Yuanmingzong, but in Yuanwenzong's heart, he was very reluctant to give up the throne to his brother, and Yan Timur of course could see his thoughts, and after Emperor Yuanmingzong ascended the throne, he began to change blood in the imperial court, issuing orders at will, even Yan Timur's henchmen in it were all withdrawn, and every organization in the middle of the court deployed his cronies, so Yan Timur also had a tiger eye on Yuanmingzong.
On the first day of August, Emperor Yuanmingzong suddenly died violently above the main hall, when he was only 30 years old, no one dared to talk about his real cause of death, but in the eyes of most people, they were all human-made Yan Timur and Yuanwenzong's partnership to kill the king.
In this way, Emperor Wenzong of Yuan once again ascended to the throne, and for the help of Yan Timur this time, he was given many official titles, and his family also became the most powerful clan in the dynasty. Because the power was too large, it was inevitable that he would get carried away and even fall in love with the empress in the palace, so he asked Yuan Wenzong for it, which was of course so ridiculous, but Yuan Wenzong also knew how high the power of Yan Timur was at that time, so he did not refuse, so Yan Timur also returned home. But her ambition was not satisfied with this, and for the same reason, she could only marry more than 40 princesses to Yan Timur.
After the death of Emperor Wenzong of Yuan, he passed the throne to the son of Emperor Yuanmingzong, who knew that he had died before he took the throne for two months, so after that, the domestic affairs were all taken care of by Yan Timur, although he did not become king, but the power was all in his hands, but this state also did not last long, and in June of the following year, Yan Timur also died at the age of forty-nine.
