The current king of Thailand, Vajiralongkorn, is known to be able to toss.
Cheating in marriage many times, breaking the traditional second concubine, deposing the concubine after two months, and beating the princess to prison;
For the dog's birthday, he gathered the people of the whole country to celebrate it, and also gave the dog a military rank;
During the epidemic, he left his people behind and flew to Germany with more than 20 concubines to rent a five-star hotel as his temporary palace, looking for fun all day.
As the king of a country, Vajiralongkorn behaved like a child's play.
Many people have commented on him: this king's rights have come too easily, and he is living a self-centered life every day, which is why he looks so contemptuous.
And the reason why Vajiralongkorn is so faint now is that the empress dowager Sirikit behind him is a very important pusher.
Although you are the mother of a country, Sirikit in her later years is not worthy of such a title in the hearts of the Thai people.
She instigated her children to enjoy the glory and wealth from an early age, betrayed the previous king Bhumibol in middle age, and cheated on her personal guards. After the guards were executed, she also made a special trip to the guards' funerals, leaving the king's face with nowhere to be found.
In the later years of Bhumibol's reign, Sirikit was still secretly seizing power, secretly installing cronies in the army to pave the way for Vajiralongkorn's successful appointment to power.
But it was such a woman who made Bhumibol intoxicated, infatuated with a lifetime, and arrogant for a lifetime.
This may be Bhumibol's love, or it may be a helplessness.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, fairy-like love</h1>
In the early years, Bhumibol and Sirikit, in the hearts of the people, can be described as gods and goddesses.
In 1947, sirikit was 15 years old, and as a thousand gold of the Thai royal family, she lived the life of an upper class at a young age.
She learned piano from an early age, attended high-class dinners, was fluent in English and French, and was well protected even in the context of the war of World War II, growing up coddled.
At that time, her biggest dream was to become a good pianist when she grew up, and she never wanted to return to Thailand, and that place was just a place of birth for her.
As for the matter of being the queen, she had never thought about it.
That year, she was in Paris, France, studying at a conservatory, and due to the war, many children of the Thai royal family lived in the Thai Embassy in France for refuge.
There, she met the future King of Thailand, Bhumibol as a teenager.
When he was young, Bhumibol never thought that he would have to take on the heavy responsibility of inheriting the throne, because above him, there was an older brother Ananta.
Without a psychological burden, Bhumibol lived as a teenager, trying everything he was interested in, he liked photography, painting, and playing 9 instruments such as piano, trumpet, saxophone and so on.
Like Sirikit, Bhumibol spent little time in his childhood from his own country, living in Switzerland for long periods of time.
At that time, his dream was to become an engineer.
The year the two met, Bhumibol was 19 and Sirikit was 16.
Bhumibol, who was studying in Switzerland at the time, was going to France to buy a car, and Sirikit's father was ordered to take over the car, accompanied by Sirikit himself.
When Bhumibol got off the plane, the crowd greeted him with smiling faces, but Sirikit was the only one with an unhappy face.
The reason is simple, because Bhumibol's plane was late, and Sirikit waited at the airport for more than 3 hours.
Perhaps accustomed to compliments, Bhumibol immediately became interested in this girl with personality.
"I think she's cute."
Despite the first unpleasantness, this did not prevent the two from interacting normally in private, both of whom also liked music and had a yearning for freedom, and soon chatted together.
In the streets of Paris, they put down their bodies and wandered around, chatting in the north and south of the world, and their childhood origins made their friends around them very limited, and having a friend who could talk was rare for each other.
As they got along longer and longer, Bhumibol's mind was getting bigger and bigger, and Sirikit couldn't be unclear, but neither of them knew how to open their mouths.
It wasn't until a disaster came that the two of them confided their true hearts.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, "Marry you alone for the rest of your life."</h1>
In 1948, at the age of 21, Bhumibol suffered a very serious car accident on the streets of Switzerland.
After learning of Bhumibol's car accident, Sirikit rushed to the hospital as soon as possible and came to his side.
When she arrived at the hospital, she learned that after Bhumibol's car accident, she took a picture out of her pocket and shouted to the attendant next to her: "Call her, I love her." ”
The person in the photo is none other than Sirikit.
Bhumibol had good luck and saved his life from the crash.
For the next few months, Sirikit stayed by his side and took care of his daily routine.
Bhumibol's mother also saw the feelings of the two, and was also impressed by Sirikit's careful care, so that the two had more opportunities to meet, she helped transfer Sirikit's school registration from France to Switzerland to facilitate the two to meet.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, whether public or private, this is a good opportunity, for Sirikit, the royal recognition has become a new shackle for her.
Just two years before Bhumibol's car accident, his eldest brother died tragically in his home because of "gun misfire".
The royal struggles in literature are so brutal, let alone reality.
As for this car accident, whether it has anything to do with the disputed royal family, it is difficult to say clearly.
For two young people who have never been in the world, this is indeed a big blow.
It can be said that Bhumibol's ascension to the throne is not his own choice, more like a fate that cannot be escaped.
It is impossible for Sirikit to be unaware of what it means for Bhumibol to succeed to the throne.
But even so, she still chose to be with Bhumibol without hesitation.
In 1949, Bhumibol proposed to Sirikit.
Faced with the king's courtship, Sirikit rejected her father's concerns and married into the royal family without hesitation.
In proposing, Sirikit made a request: "In this life, you can only marry me alone." ”
Faced with the request of his sweetheart, Bhumibol agreed, and as a feudal king, Bhumibol never took a princess again for the next 66 years, giving Sirikit all his love.
What people did not expect was that in this fairy-like relationship, the first person to betray was Sirikit, who proposed "love me for a lifetime".
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, Bhumibol in a midlife crisis</h1>
Bhumibol, is really in love with Sirikit.
After making Sirikit queen, Bhumibol took care of the king's affairs while picking up his old hobby, photography.
When Bhumibol visited countries as king, he always brought his own camera, and his favorite photograph was his lover.
He once said to a photographer: "I am jealous of others taking pictures of my wife, I am willing to take pictures myself, even if it is not so perfect, I am reluctant to throw it away." 」 ”
In this world, there are three things that cannot be hidden, that is, poverty, coughing, and love, and when you love someone, love will flow from the eyes.
When business was less busy, the two would play music together; Bhumibol loved to draw, and Sirikit acted as his model.
As one of the richest royals in the world, Bhumibol also bought many precious jewels for Sirikit and invited Pierre Balmain, the founder of Balmain's brand, as Sirikit's personal designer.
Of course, as the "mother of the nation" of the mother world, Sirikit is not only a "vase" that acts as a façade, but also assists the king within her ability in managing the country.
As a woman, she personally promoted philanthropy at home and affirmative action in Thailand, and when Bhumibol was a short-term monk in the monastery, she even took on the responsibility of king and managed the country in place of Bhumibol.
In the 66 years since Bhumibol took office, Thailand has seen 20 coups, 35 prime ministers, and more than 50 cabinets.
In the face of the turbulent situation at home, as the monarch of a country, Bhumibol also suffered a lot of pressure, and Sirikit was the right and left arm to support him.
It looks like a beautiful love story, but like the end of most love stories, there is nothing eternal in this world.
Someone once said a joke: no one can resist the midlife crisis, even the king, can not resist.
This sentence is about Bhumibol.
The various forces in the country are mixed and divided from each other, and as the monarch of a country, it is difficult for him to have an absolute right to speak.
External affairs are not smooth, the family is also "fire in the backyard", as the two enter menopause, the passion of youth slowly recedes, and the quarrels become more and more frequent.
As the façade of the country, even if it is not in line with each other in private, it should not be revealed on the surface, and some things are rotten in the stomach.
What people did not expect was that Sirikit, as the "mother of the nation", openly cheated on her bodyguards and put a "green hat" on the king.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >4. Raise tigers for trouble! </h1>
Perhaps by the bodyguard's intentions, or perhaps by chance, Queen Sirikit had a guard's hobbies that were very similar to those of King Bhumibol, who loved photography as well as music.
Objectively speaking, this guard was mediocre in appearance and not very tall, but with his rhetoric, he easily won the queen's favor.
It is said that Bhumibol suffered from depression because of this.
From the beginning of the sneaky, to the later bright and upright, the queen became more and more unscrupulous, and even took the other party's arm when traveling.
The queen cheated, this kind of thing no one dared to talk about loudly, but in private it had already been full of storms in the city, and Bhumibol naturally had a number in mind.
A few months later, the queen's bodyguards suddenly disappeared, and rumors spread that they had been sent to the United States on a secret mission.
But when he returned, only a cold corpse remained.
Clear-eyed people can see what is going on here.
But the queen did not believe in this evil, as if she did not know anything, she attended the funeral of the guards in a bright and upright manner, and at the funeral she was once out of shape, affectionately touching the body of the guards.
There may be an element of true feelings in it, but more importantly, it should be revenge on Bhumibol.
As she grew older, love could no longer make Siriki feel secure, and she began to extend her hand to the center of power.
This is both for herself and for her beloved young son to succeed in succeeding to the throne.
When Vajiralongkorn was very young, Sirikit told him, "You will be the one who will be the king in the future, and all this will be yours in the future." ”
Under Sirikit's arrangement, Vajiralongkorn took the position of crown prince step by step and successfully succeeded to the throne.
But it is obvious that he is not suitable to be a king, he is arrogant, often solipsistic, and after taking office, he has done a lot of absurd things and misled the country and the people.
Princess Sirindhorn, who is loved by the people, lost in this battle for the throne, which has become a regret in the hearts of many Thai people.
During the Qianlong period, the then Thai monarch Zheng Xin was forced to abdicate after a mutiny, and when he abdicated, he once made such a curse: "Whoever seizes my throne will die in the tenth!" ”
Coincidentally, since the founding of Thailand, until Vajiralongkorn took office, it happened to be the tenth monarch.
Sirikit's original idea was to "raise children and prevent old age", and to be able to rely on her son's power to ensure a high degree of concentration of power in her later years.
What she did not expect was that the cultivation of such a solipsistic son was essentially "raising tigers for trouble", and since Vajiralongkorn successfully inherited the throne, not only did he not have any restraint, but even intensified, gradually devouring Sirikit's power in the army.
Until now, Sirikit could only drag a sick body and spend her days in the palace.
Just like the love affair with Bhumibol, nothing in this world can be eternal.
After tossing and turning for half a day, in the end, it is myself who toss.
I wonder if when Sirikit dies, will she remember her original intention of marrying into the royal family?
And that, with Bhumibol strolling through the streets of Paris at night.
