Some kings, although they ascended the throne late, were in a solid position.
For example, Charles.
As the eldest son of the Queen, he was heir from birth;
Moreover, the British royal family is wealthy, and Charles has always lived an extremely luxurious life.
The most painful thing when he was young was probably that he couldn't love and marry his sweetheart.
Compared to Charles, the old king of Bhutan is like a soak in a yellow lotus.
Jigme Singh Wangchuk, the only son of the queen;
However, he was far less favored than his younger brother.
As the grandfather's family was exiled, the queen was also sent to the cold palace;
Singh's situation is even worse.
So, how did he turn the tide and sit on the throne of the king?
The third king of Bhutan, which is Singh's father Dorjee,
He was an ambitious, ambitious monarch.
In 1951, the royal family chose a concubine for Dorjee, who returned from studying abroad.
Among a large group of noble women, Dorjee fell in love with Kelsang Chaden at a glance;
It's not that Kelsang Choden is the most beautiful, but her family lineage is the best.
Her ancestors are from the same family as the royal family.
Grandfather was an adviser to the old king, and father was a chief minister;
My brother studied in the UK with Dorjee, and he can be regarded as a prince's companion.
With such a family lineage, how can Kelsang Chaden marry someone else?
The following year, with Dorjee's accession to the throne, she also became queen.
In the fourth year of marriage, Kelsang Chaden gave birth to his only son, Singh.
It stands to reason that Singh should have been his father's treasure.
Who would have thought!
Not long after Dorjee ascended the throne, he met the true destiny girl.
The other party's name was Yangji, a civilian girl whose origin was far inferior to Kelsang Chaden.
However, she is beautiful and will please Dorjee;
Compared with Kelsang Chaden, who has a glance, the casual Yangji is naturally more favored.
Moreover, after Yangji entered the palace, he gave birth to two sons and a daughter.
At this time, Kelsang Chaden's advantages also became disadvantages.
It turned out that her brother later became prime minister, which did not fit well with Dorjee's ideas.
Dorjee wants to change the old customs and reuse the courtiers from the humble family.
But what about the queen's matriarchy?
They wanted to preserve the power of the clans.
Coming and going, the courtiers discovered:
Compared with the queen's maternal family, Dorjee favored the concubine's brother.
The changes in the court will definitely affect the harem.
Therefore, even if Kelsang Choden became queen, he had to give in to the favored concubine;
Under such circumstances, Singh is not as favored as his brother.
In 1964, Kelsang Chaden's eldest brother died in an accident.
Later investigations found that:
The person who attacked the uncle of the country has a good friendship with Yangji's brother on weekdays.
At this time, Dorjee not only did not punish the pet concubine, but found an excuse to excuse her.
Some even speculated:
All this may also have something to do with Dorjee.
After all, by 1965;
Kelsang Chaden's mother family was all exiled abroad by the king.
The foreign relatives are weak, and the queen's life is not good.
Even Singh's food has been manipulated.
In desperation, Kelsang Chaden had to send his son to study in India and hid in the cold palace.
In those years, the king was very fond of Yangi's son;
There is a posture of establishing Shuzi as the crown prince.
And Singh?
While studying abroad, he is also very contentious.
Good grades, no bad habits, good relations with other noble children.
I can only sigh, time does not wait for people!
In 1972, Dorjee became seriously ill.
At this time, Kelsang Chaden, who was in the cold palace, recalled the mother family while contacting the old ministers;
In addition, Singh also returned to Bhutan in time.
When Dorjee dies, where can the pet concubine who is difficult to support alone, continue to be a blessing!
Thus, Kelsang Chaden became the regent and Singh ascended the throne as he wished.
The mother and son, who were once snubbed by the old king, still took back everything that belonged to them.
When the new king ascends the throne, the first task is to choose a concubine.
Love, just embellishment;
For a 17-year-old king, the family lineage of the future queen is more important!
Therefore, the Queen Mother chose a girl from the Wangmu family for her son.
Speaking of which, the Wangmu family is not after the royal family;
However, they are more admired by the people than the royal family.
Here's why:
The ancestors of this family have always been the spiritual leaders of Bhutan.
It is said that among the four daughters of the patriarch, the eldest daughter has the highest talent.
If nothing else, this daughter was supposed to be the queen.
However, the Empress Dowager found someone to talk to and wanted to marry 4 queens for her son at the same time.
Don't ask why;
If asked, the family should be tidy.
Moreover, the Queen Mother also promised her in-laws:
4 daughters-in-law regardless of concubinage;
If he can rob the prince, which prince is the heir.
At this time, Singh also visited the Wangmu family from time to time;
Looking at the handsome face of the king, the 4 sisters were also moved.
After all, who doesn't want to fight for their luck!
In 1979, the handsome king married 4 sisters at the same time as queen.
Singh, who had seen his father spoil his wife and kill his concubines, made a bowl of water even.
4 queens, each living in different palaces;
Only when you are present at an event will you get together.
Moreover, Singer did not particularly prefer any of them.
On weekdays, in addition to his official duties, he prefers sports and practicing Buddhism.
Therefore, the 4 queens kept to themselves, and there was no contradiction like the previous generation.
Years after marriage, they gave birth to 10 children to Singh;
The eldest son, Caesar, was the son of the three queens.
Not to mention, Singh is really a different king!
The kings of other families can't wait to move the throne to the bedroom;
He's good!
After Kaisar graduated from college, Singer shared his official duties with his son.
In 2006, Singh, who was only 51 years old, abdicated directly.
You know, Charles at this age is still the crown prince!
It's okay to be light, Singh has more time to do what he likes.
exercise, chat with monks about Buddhist scriptures;
Life is good.
With a good mentality, people also appear young.
When standing with Caesar;
Singh is not like his father, but like his brother!
As his son got married and had a baby, Singh also lived a leisurely life with grandchildren.
Occasionally, he also participates in activities with his children and grandchildren.
At this time, Singh did not look like a 70-year-old man at all.
Perhaps, this is what everyone says:
Arsenic of A, honey of B!
Singh, who took the throne after several twists and turns, understood the hardships;
Therefore, he didn't want to be tied to the throne, he just wanted to be a blessed emperor.
Such days, more dashing!
