Shao Yuanping wrote in the "Compilation of Yuan History": "The book is known: Strain to fight chaos, Mo Bandit; although the seal is gone, Tai'a has been fucked; the former car is learned, the candle shadow axe sound; never suspected cases, mostly in the brothers." "Power is a bowl of poison, it causes brothers to turn against each other, father and son cannibalism, and it will also turn those who stand at the top of power into lonely people." Even an emperor like Li Shimin, who was praised by later generations, only then did he take the position of emperor by killing two brothers at Xuanwu Gate.
When Zhao Guangyi became emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, although it looked like a peaceful brother and brother, it also left an idiom of "candle shadow axe sound", which made future generations speculate. And after Emperor Yuanwenzong Tu Timu'er seized the world, he let his brother claim the title of emperor, and his brother gladly accepted it, and as a result, he was poisoned before he entered The capital.
Emperor Taiding of the Yuan Dynasty was the sixth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and he reigned for five years. During these five years, Zuo Cheng Xiang was in charge of the imperial government, and the empress of Emperor Taiding was Zuo Cheng Xiang's qingmei bamboo horse, and the two liked each other when they were young, and when Babuhan married the emperor, he was still unclear with Zuo Cheng Xiang. Babuhan also frequently interfered in the government and politics, and his behavior was extremely arrogant and wanton. The combination of his wife and his courtiers made the gentle and weak Emperor Taiding extremely depressed, and eventually he was depressed.
Emperor Taiding's crown prince was named Asok jiba, and originally the emperor died and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, which was a very simple truth and a reasonable thing. But for Zuo Chengxiang, this prince was not as controllable as Emperor Taiding. In order to hold power for a long time, Zuo Chengxiang used various excuses to delay the time for the crown prince to ascend the throne. This practice caused rumors circulating throughout the government and the public that Zuo Chengxiang intended to usurp the throne. All kinds of signs give ambitious people a chance.
Emperor Taiding's cousin was also an emperor, Emperor Wuzong of Yuan. Emperor Wuzong's confidant Yan Timur (燕铁木兒) took advantage of Zuo Chengxiang to fight the crown prince in Shangdu and launched a coup d'état in Dadu. Emperor Wuzong of Yuan had two sons, Heshi and Tu Timu'er. He shi is the eldest son of the concubine, and according to the regulations, the eldest son should inherit the family business. At this time, Heshi fled to the Chagatai Khanate because of the failure of the mutiny.
Everyone knows how powerful the iron hooves of the Mongol cavalry are, and the descendants of Temujin led the Mongol cavalry throughout Asia, and even stepped on the land of Europe. The place where Heshi was at this time, rushing back at full speed after receiving the news, would take at least a year to arrive. There were practical factors to consider, and because Yan Timur himself belonged to the intention of Timur, he contacted Tu Timu'er and asked him to preside over the overall situation in Dadu.
Tu Timu'er was in Huaizhou, and after receiving the news, he rushed to Dadu. Then, Tu Timu'er went to sing a king's play with Yan Timur. On the grounds that he had done extraordinary things and extraordinary things, Yan Timur asked Tu Timu'er to ascend to the throne "temporarily" in order to preside over the overall situation. Tutimur went along with the flow, and since this was the case, everything was for the sake of the overall situation, so let's become emperor first, and then return the throne to my brother after his brother returned.
So Tu Timu'er became Yuan Wenzong, such an act, in the eyes of the Central Plains Defenders, must be the ambition of the wolf, but the Yuan Dynasty did not have so many Central Plains Confucians, the struggle for power and profit on the grassland, and there was not so much of a fig leaf for the appearance of the tao, so it seemed so rough and straightforward. Emperor Yuanwenzong did not know how to guard against his brother and shi who were thousands of miles away, and also paid close attention to the every move of Zuo Chengxiang in Shangdu. When the news of Emperor Wenzong's ascension to the throne reached Shangdu, Zuo Cheng felt that something was wrong.
While he hurriedly supported the crown prince to succeed to the throne, he also sent heavy troops to attack Dadu, and the "Battle of the Two Capitals" broke out. The northern army was like a bamboo, all the way south, and Yan Timur had rich combat experience, and the southern army led by Yan Timur stopped the northern army from advancing, and fought back with a mighty battle, Zuo Chengxiang was killed, the newly succeeded emperor Tianshun Emperor was also missing, and Emperor Yuanwenzong won a complete victory. Emperor Wenzong of Yuan still verbally supported his brother Heshi and sent envoys to welcome Heshi back to Beijing to succeed to the throne.
At this time, if Heshi resigned, he might still be able to die well, but the taste of power was too tempting, so Heshi gladly accepted his brother's concession and quickly entered the old capital and Lin titled emperor, which was Emperor Yuanmingzong, who returned to the identity of Tu Timu'er and was crown prince. Subsequently, Yan Timur arrived in Helin with Yuxi and welcomed Emperor Yuanmingzong back to Beijing.
For this throne, this world, and the world did not have any merit, all relying on his brother and Yan Timur to lay down the country, and he only thought that he was the emperor as a matter of course because he was the eldest son. However, when the emperor is not only righteous, but also has the ability to match it. He despised his younger brother Tu Timu'er, and also despised Yan Timur, and before Emperor Yuan Mingzong had entered the capital, he began to display the emperor's prestige and quickly installed cronies in important positions in the court and the region.
This infringed on the interests of the powerful minister Yan Timur, and before he entered the capital, Heshi had offended the two most important figures at that time. So before Heshi entered the capital, he suddenly died violently, and died in the palace in a confused way, and the cattiness of this was obvious, and the possibility of Tu Timu'er and Yan Timur poisoning Andshi was extremely suitable. After Heshi's death, Tu Timu'er naturally reverted to Yuan Wenzong, and Yan Timur continued to be his own vassal.
The return of The Peace World is more like a huge drama, which comes to an end with the violent death of the Peace World. Doing things is not achieved overnight, and the road to be taken is to take step by step. Heshi may not have no talent, nor may he have no supporters, he is wrong to be too anxious, so that Tu Timu'er and Yan Timur can't resist and rush to kill him.
