In the history of The Chinese Empire, there are many famous courtiers. They are extremely popular subjects, the power is tilted to the opposition, and they can turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain.
The emperor was also bowing down before them. Among them, the most familiar to us is Cao Cao.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although Cao Cao was a noble minister, he still "blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes" and vigorously developed his own power.
In the end, Cao Cao's son Cao Pi, relying on cao Cao's foundation, usurped the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty and established the earliest state of the Three Kingdoms, Wei.
In the Yuan Dynasty, there was also a powerful minister who did more than Cao Cao: he married an empress, occupied 40 princesses as concubines, and died of physical exhaustion.
This chancellor of the Yuan Dynasty, he was a young talent in the early stage, a great talent, and did a great career, but he completely lost himself in the later stage, and after becoming a chancellor, he was so powerful that he completely lost himself, not only married the empress as his wife, but also incorporated dozens of princesses of the royal family into the harem, and finally his body was overdrawn and he died on top of the female color.
He was timur the chancellor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Yan Timur's full name was Boya Wutai Yan Timur (1285-1333 AD), and his surname was Chincha. Since he was a teenager, Yan Timur has been the su guard of the Yuan Dynasty's clan and The emperor Haishan, and together with the emperor to guard the north of the desert.
In the eleventh year of Dade (1307 AD), Yan Timur followed emperor Haishan Nanhui, after which Haishan (Yuan Wuzong) took the throne and became the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, appointing Yan Timur as the secretary of the Tongzhi Xuanhui Yuan, and later, yan Timur was appointed as the commander of the Left Guard army and the privy council of youshu.
Yan Timur's family was the first group of people to follow Temujin to fight the world, so Yan Timur was born in a family of warriors. And because he stayed in Mobei and Yuanwuzong Haishan for more than ten years, the relationship between the two was very good.
Emperor Wuzong of Yuan had been emperor for more than four years, and he died early, less than 30 years old. At this time, Haishan's younger brother had made an agreement with Haishan in the early stages that after Haishan's death, he would become emperor. But Seamount's son disagreed. In order to compete for the throne, the two sides fought a "vigorous" "battle of the two capitals". In the end, the army led by Yan Timur was victorious.
As a major contributor to this incident, Yan Timur was named the "Prince of Taiping" and became the right minister of power and opposition, and was in charge of government affairs alone. "All orders, criminal names, election laws, money, food, fabrications, all the affairs of the Zhongshu, listen to the president." That is to say, all aspects of the government need to pass through the hands of Yan Timur, and even the kings, princesses, horses, etc. cannot cross him.
After this, Timur completely changed, into a greasy person who coveted pleasure and luxury and absurdity. Coveting the jade appearance of Empress Taiding of the former dynasty, Yan Timur asked the new emperor Yuan Wenzong to marry the former empress and empress Taiding, and at the same time married more than forty daughters of the clan room, "the back room was full of people, so that they could not fully understand", "a feast or slaughter of thirteen horses", absurd and extravagant.
So why did the new emperor, Emperor Wenzong of Yuan, allow Yan Timur to do so? It's just a deal.
Emperor Wenzong himself valued the ability of Yan Timur, who had real power at that time, and the mobilization of the army was even more successful. Emperor Wenzong of Yuan's throne was supported by the force of Yan Timur. If he did not give Yan Timur power, his own throne would certainly not sit long, so Emperor Yuanwenzong chose the strategy of relying heavily on Yan Timur.
After Yan Timur monopolized power, he coveted pleasure and controlled the government. After the deaths of Emperor Wenzong of Yuan and Emperor Ningzong of Yuan, he obstructed Emperor Huizong of Yuan (Emperor Yuanshun) from ascending the throne in order to continue his power.
Timur later died in May 1333 due to excessive sexual immorality. In June 1333, Emperor Huizong ascended the throne in Shangdu and became emperor.
