Since ancient times, there has been a rule that "the king wants the subject to die, and the subject has to die", but in fact, not all the courtiers are willing to die, so the "power minister" came into being, this kind of minister, usually in control of the country's military and political power, the power is large enough to pose a threat to the supreme ruler, the ruler can not help it.
The protagonist in today's story is a powerful courtier, who is also considered to be the most arrogant courtier in ancient history, he even openly married the empress as a wife, and took 40 princesses as concubines, even the prince must recognize him as his adoptive father, who is he? What exactly is it capable of?
Boya Wutai Yan Tiemu'er, born in 1285 AD, Chinese Yuan Dynasty Mongols, Yan Timur's ancestors, all have military merits, influenced by the family, Yan Tiemu'er learned martial arts since childhood, practiced a good kung fu, at a young age was summoned to the palace by Emperor Yuanwuzong's boer, as Yuanwuzong's personal bodyguard, martial arts, bold and loyal Yan Tiemu'er, also received the appreciation and trust of Yuanwuzong,
In 1312, when Emperor Yuanrenzong (brother of Emperor Wuzong of Yuan) ascended the throne, Yan Timur came to him and continued to protect the new monarch, at the same time, Yan Timur also served as the commander of the left guard army, and initially held the military power, and in the days that followed, his status became higher and higher. Eight years later, Emperor Yuanrenzong died and Emperor Yuanyingzong ascended the throne (Yuanrenzong's concubine).
However, Yuan Yingzong's seat did not sit for too long, because since he was a child, he was influenced by Confucianism, as soon as he ascended the throne, he began to implement the policy of "ruling the country with Confucianism" and implemented many new policies, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of many senior officials and touched the interests of the conservative nobles of Mongolia, including Yan Tiemu'er, and Yan Tiemu'er originally did not like Yuan Renzong's lineage, and he wanted to elect Yuan Wuzong's son as emperor.
Finally, in July 1328, Yan Tiemu'er waited for the "opportunity", when the Taiding Emperor was infected with an illness while hunting in Liulin and collapsed in the capital of Kaiping Province. Yan Timur, who held the power to lead the forbidden army, quickly plotted with the princess Chajir and the clan party Ara Timur, and soon they entered the palace to control the overall situation, and then Yan Timur elected Tu Timu'er, the second son of Emperor Wuzong of Yuan, as the heir to the throne, known as Emperor Wenzong of Yuan.
Of course, some people supported the YuanWuzong one vein, and some people supported the Yuanrenzong one vein, and the civil war was about to break out, but the Yuanwu Sect one vein represented by Yan Timur won the final victory. In fact, according to the rules, Emperor Wenzong of Yuan should not inherit the throne, and should be called emperor by his elder brother Changhe Shi, but because his brother was previously exiled by Emperor Yuanrenzong to the Chagatai Khanate, his younger brother first "temporarily called himself emperor", and now that his brother has returned, he naturally has to "give way", so Changhe Shi is called emperor, and the history is called "Yuan Mingzong".
However, Yuan Wenzong, who had tasted the taste of the ascendant, actually did not want to "give way" in his heart, and Yan Timur, who had always been with him, was of course very clear, plus the new emperor Yuan Mingzong did not trust Yan Tiemu'er at all, so he was not willing to serve Yuan Mingzong. Two equally disgruntled people soon colluded... Four days later, Emperor Yuanmingzong died suddenly, at the age of 30, which means that readers and friends can taste it for themselves.
With the support of Yan Timur, Emperor Yuanwenzong once again ascended the throne, and in order to thank Yan Timur for his support, Emperor Yuanwenzong made him the Prince of Taishi and the Right Chancellor of Zhongshu, and the Prince of Taiping, and in this regard, Yan Timur became the most powerful minister of the Yuan Dynasty. Up to this time, Yan Timur had already experienced the 6 emperors of Wuzong, Renzong, Yingzong, Taiding, Wenzong and Mingzong, but the emperor changed again, and he Yan Timur always stood firm, and his ambition gradually grew in his heart and continued to expand.
Later, Yan Timur unexpectedly took a fancy to Emperor Taiding's empress Dowager Babuhan, as well as his other beautiful concubines, forced by Yan Timur's power, Emperor Wenzong of Yuan actually granted his request, and Yan Timur married the former empress in a bright and upright manner, which was unprecedented in history.
But Yan Timur did not stop there, with this "precedent", he became more and more arrogant, and later repeatedly proposed to marry the princesses of the clan, Yuan Wenzong still did not dare to say anything, and these princesses did not dare not marry, and finally, Yan Timur married 40 clan princesses in total, shocking the world.
The "History of the Yuan" reads: Take Emperor Taiding as a lady, and forty daughters of Shangzong before and after ... The back room is full of incomprehension.
And Yuan Wenzong, who has repeatedly given in, has also been ridiculed by many people, but in order to sit firmly on the throne, Yuan Wenzong does not care about shame, he even sent his own son to Yan Tiemu'er, let him be Yan Tiemu'er's adopted son, just like this, Yan Tiemu'er lived a dashing life, indulging in wine all day, in 1333, Yan Timur died, only 48 years old.
