The many emperors of the harem beauty should not be difficult to give birth to sons according to common sense, but there are too many monarchs in history who do not play cards according to common sense, and the one to be introduced today is the 6th monarch of the Abbasid dynasty of the Arab Empire, his name is Amin. After he ascended the throne in 809 AD, he was saddened by the Abbasid "empress" ZuoBaide because of the delay in resolving the heir issue.
Here we have to mention the process of Amin's ascension to the throne. Amin's father, Harlan Rashid, was a wise monarch who had 2 sons in his lifetime, Amin was not his eldest son, but Amin was born to his wife Zorbaide; his eldest son was called Maimon, and Maimon's mother was a low-born, beautiful Persian slave girl; and Harlan Rashid was in trouble with the question of heirs.
The Arab Empire chose the heir according to the "son is the mother", Amin's mother was of noble birth, and it was reasonable to say that Amin should be the best heir, but both sons wanted to succeed to the throne, and Maimon's ability was better than Amin's; in the end, Harlan Rashid thought of a compromise, let Amin succeed to the throne, give Maimon a large fief, let him be the administrator of the eastern part of the empire, and the two brothers lived in peace.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is too bone. Harlan Rashid probably couldn't have imagined what had happened between the two brothers after his death. When Harlan Lai Shide died, the empire was strong and the treasury was abundant, but unfortunately, Amin was just a stupid boy, completely ignorant of the government, and the most he did every day was to eat, drink, and enjoy with the eunuchs around him.
Moreover, although there were many beautiful women in Amin's harem, he was never willing to spoil them, so Amin ascended the throne for several years, and there was not a single baby cry in the imperial palace. Empress Dowager Zuo Baide looked anxious in her eyes, she knew very well that Mai Meng had always had ambitions to seize the throne, and if Amin continued like this, there would not even be an heir, and Mai Meng's succession to the throne would be a matter of course!
How could the Empress allow such a thing to happen? But every time she tried to persuade Amin, Amin was impatient. Later, the empress dowager suddenly thought that she saw that Amin preferred to stay with eunuchs, thinking that he might be partial to men, so the empress dowager ordered all the concubines with strong learning ability in the harem to gather them and give them "new training" and strive to train them to be masculine.
The concubines had to wear men's clothes every day and learn the words and deeds of men, and the empress dowager Zuo Baide was strict, so they did not dare to slacken off, and after a few months, they all learned to look good. At that time, the men of the Arab Empire were accustomed to growing beards, and in order to make the concubines more men, the empress dowager specially customized a batch of "beards" and let people paste all the harem beauties to fake the truth.
It has to be said that the empress dowager's plan was very clever, and this trick worked, and Amin really spoiled the concubine, and one concubine gave birth to a son for him. The empress dowager was overjoyed, and she immediately encouraged Amin to make the child crown prince, and Amin did the same, and the mother and son ignored one thing: when Amin ascended the throne, Harlan Rashid stipulated that Amin must make Maimon's son crown prince.
Maimon was furious when he heard the news, and the backlog of conflicts between the brothers broke out, and Maimon took his soldiers and horses straight to the royal city of Baghdad, the Arabs supported Amin, the Persians supported Maimon, and the war ended in Maimon's victory. Funny, when his men told Amin about MaiMon's attack on Baghdad, Amin was busy fishing with his favorite eunuch, Kauser, and didn't listen at all...
