On September 13 of the first year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wenzong of Yuanwen took the throne in the Great Ming Palace, and he not only attacked his cousin Emperor Taiding and Sun Timur in collusion with Tie Man to kill Emperor Yuanyingzong Shuode Bala, but also withdrew Emperor Taiding's father, Emperor Yuanxianzong Ganmala, from the temple and revoked their title as emperor.
Why did he do this? Of course, in order to deny the legitimacy of the Taiding Emperor's lineage, as long as others are illegal, they will appear to be legitimate! So, is It legal for Emperor Wenzong to ascend to the throne?
Emperor Taiding
Some people may say that of course it is legal for Emperor Wenzong to ascend the throne, because his father Emperor Wuzong Haishan is the emperor, and the emperor does not see the powerful minister Yan Timur and says: The world is the world of Emperor Wuzong? And Emperor Taiding and his father, the old King of Jin, Ganmala, were not emperors, and Emperor Taiding himself was not in the right position, which was naturally illegal.
But to say so, and then go forward, then Yuan Wuzong and his father's dumb emperor Sun Da la Ma Ba La is not an emperor? Emperor Wuzong himself also seized the throne, which discipline was he considered to be the rightful emperor?
In this way, the question arises, as the grandson of the Zhenjin Crown Prince, Emperor Taiding, compared with his cousins Yuan Wuzong Haishan and YuanrenZong Shoushan brothers, who is the orthodox and legitimate emperor?
As we all know, the imperial succession of the Yuan Dynasty is extremely chaotic, and other dynasties are all fathers and sons, or brothers and brothers, what about the Yuan Dynasty? First the grandchildren, then the uncles and nephews, then a group of brothers, fathers and sons, and then the cousins and nephews competed for reunification.
If the imperial inheritance of the Qing Dynasty is a straight line, then the Yuan Dynasty is a tortuous earthworm, and it is also a minority regime, why is the inheritance of the Yuan Dynasty so chaotic?
Imperial lineage of the Qing Dynasty
Quite simply, it is because the Yuan Dynasty has not formed a perfect inheritance system, before the founding of the Mongol Empire and during the Mongol Empire, it was the designated heir of the previous Great Khan, plus the election of Kuriletai, and the young son Shouzao old system occasionally came out to make cameos.
After entering the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan also formulated the system of primogeniture, and when the previous emperor did not designate an heir, he and the younger son shou stove system became a double selection tool for the emperor's contenders, and which was beneficial to the winner was promoted.
Kublai Khan made zhenjin, the de facto eldest son, crown prince, because zhenjin died early and Kublai khan died suddenly, and Zhenjin's youngest son, Timur, with the support of his eccentric old mother Kuo Kuozhen, as well as the important ministers Eight Neighbor Boyan and Yuxi Timur, defeated the eldest brother of Zhenjin and the Jin king Ganmala, who was favored by his grandfather Kublai Khan, in order to become Emperor Yuanchengzong.
Yuan Chengzong's ascension to the throne is the victory of the Mongolian young son to guard the old system of the stove and fight against the inheritance system of the eldest son of the Han Dynasty, if according to the old Mongolian system, Yuan Chengzong can certainly not be said to be unorthodox and illegal, and there is also a law to follow.
Imperial lineage of the Yuan Dynasty
After the death of Emperor Chengzong of Yuan, his crown prince Deok Shou had already died prematurely, had no children under his knees, and did not appoint an heir, and the only ones who had the right to inherit in the last years of Dade were Kublai Khan's concubines, namely:
Zhenjin's eldest son, King Ganmala of Jin, the eldest son of King Jin, also grandson Timur (Emperor Taiding),
The two concubines of Zhenjin's second son, Dala Ma Ba, were the princes of Huaining Wang Haishan (Wuzong) and Zhuwang Shoushan (Renzong),
The two concubines of the Qin king Busy Gela (Kublai Khan's third son), Ananda the King of Anxi, and the kings did not spend any flowers.
In these five candidates, if according to the system of primogeniture, the succession of King Yesun Timur of Jin is the highest priority, because his father Ganmala is not only Kublai Khan's beloved grandson, but also the eldest son of Prince Zhenjin, and one of the candidates for the throne after Kublai Khan's death, so Ganmala's eldest son is the most important.
Yuan Wuzong
If the youngest son guards the stove according to the old Mongolian system, it is Kublai Khan's third son, Ananda, the eldest son of Kublai Khan's concubine, who is busy with brothers.
Don't say that Ananda is not the right of the true golden descendants to take the throne, that is the excuse for the Wuzong henchmen to attack Ananda, in fact, the Yuan Dynasty never had the idea that the throne must be chosen in the descendants of the true gold, because the world is the world of the ancestor Kublai Khan, not the world of the true golden prince, so as long as you are a descendant of the ancestral ancestors, you have the right to inherit, and the ananda who is a grandson is naturally no exception.
Whether it was the Qin King's Busy Brother Or the Jin King Ganmala, they were both the dragon sons and grandsons who were heavily relied upon by Kublai Khan, with high positions of power, with royal titles and royal seals, and in both of them they could find Kublai Khan's tendency to establish a crown prince, and their political legacy was inherited by their respective concubines.
Contrary to them, the Wuzong Haishan brothers, whether they were inherited from the eldest son system or from the youngest son Shouzao, could not be the turn of these two brothers as heirs.
Because their father, the mute emperor Sun Dala Ma Ba La himself, did not have the right to inherit, and the fathers were excluded from the heirs, what inheritance rights did the son have?
Yuan Renzong
Therefore, if things are strictly according to the etiquette, after the death of Emperor Yuanchengzong, only the three brothers of King Yesun Timur of Jin and Ananda the King of Anxi have the right to inherit, and the Brothers of Wuzong will stand on the sidelines.
Some people may wonder, then in the end, why did the Wuzong brothers who did not have the right to inherit the throne?
That was because Zhongshu Right Chancellor and Confucian Emperor Ha LaiHasun had selfish intentions and did not want to see Empress Chengzong Buluhan overseeing the regency of the country, so he colluded with the brothers Wuzong and Renzong to carry out a coup d'état and pulled the legitimate regent Empress Brauhan off the horse, and Braukhan's supporter, perhaps the future heir to the throne, also became a prisoner under the surprise.
With the defeat of Ananda, who had the power of soldiers, Wuzong Haishan became the most powerful and senior prince in the Yuan Empire at that time, and no one could compete with him, even if his brother Shoushan, who successfully launched a coup and coveted the throne, did not dare to compete with his brother to seize the throne because he did not have the military power in his hands, so Wuzong Haishan ascended to the throne, and his younger brother Shoushan was made the crown prince, which was granted to Wuren.
The reason why Emperor Wuzong was able to ascend to the throne was not that he was the most orthodox, but that he was a royal concubine with heavy troops at that time, and he also had military power and even a cousin who was higher in status than him, King Yesun Timur, because he was young at that time, he did not have the ability and qualifications to challenge his cousin Haishan.
In order to show the legitimacy of their master, the supporters of the Haishan Brothers criticized Ananda on the grounds that they were not true descendants and violated the ancestral family law, excluding him from the heir. In particular, Li Meng, the teacher of Emperor Renzong, said that "the branch is not heirless", which means that Ananda is a branch and should not have the right to inherit.
In fact, according to Kublai Khan's eldest son succession system, Wuzong, the brothers of Emperor Renzong, and Ananda, the king of Anxi, were all "branches", and they were not qualified, but they were only victorious and defeated.
After Emperor Wuzong's death and enduring for several years, Emperor Renzong came to power, he used his means to drive Emperor Wuzong's eldest sons, Emperor Mingzong and Shi Yao, to Yunnan, and installed his concubine Emperor Yingzong Shuode As the crown prince.
If Emperor Renzong's ascension to the throne was the crown prince established by Emperor Wuzong, and that there was a law to follow, then Emperor Yingzong's ascension to the throne was the result of his father Renzong's violation of Wuren's mandate, which had already caused dissatisfaction among Emperor Wuzong's former subjects, and then he actively promoted the new policy, violating the interests of the nobility, thus triggering the assassination of Nanpo's change.
By the time Emperor Yingzong was assassinated, the only people who were kublai Khan's descendants at that time were Timur, the grandson of King Ye of Jin, The son of Ananda of Ansai, Andu Timur, and his younger brother, Juntanbuhua.
Emperor Wuzong did not have concubines, and Emperor Mingzong, Shi Wan, and Emperor Wenzong were all concubines, and whether according to the old Mongolian system or the law of succession of the eldest son, the concubines had no right to inherit.
Why did Timur's uncle and nephew participate in the rebellious behavior of Iron Lost? In addition to the dissatisfaction of the Anxi wang clan with Emperor Wuzong and Emperor Renzong's deprivation of their family property, there may also be reasons why Tie Lost originally wanted to support Timur as emperor, so their uncles and nephews also became the backbone of the rebellious clique.
However, as the situation progressed, Tie Lost realized that the most powerful prince of the imperial lineage at that time was not the uncle and nephew of Yuelu Timur, who had been suppressed all along, but the King of Jin, who had geographical and military advantages, and was also the great-grandson of Kublai Khan and the eldest grandson of Zhenjin.
Therefore, forced by the situation and the speculative psychology of knowing the current affairs, Tie Lost chose to throw an olive branch to the most powerful Jin king at that time, so that the Jin king, who had been rubbing shoulders with the throne, also preceded Timur, and finally ushered in the political spring of their long branch.
Emperor Taiding, who ascended to the throne, not only summoned back the son of Emperor Wuzong exiled by Emperor Renzong, but also married his brothers emperor Wenzong to their daughters-in-law, and they really had virtue and no complaints! It was only when Emperor Taiding died prematurely like his cousins, and his concubine was young, that this gave the eldest son of Emperor Wuzong the opportunity to turn the tables.
Under the circumstance that Emperor Taiding had already designated a crown prince, Yan Timur and others used the excuse of overthrowing The Sand and not establishing a new monarch as an excuse to commit a major rebellion, and when Emperor Wenzong took the throne, in order to show the legitimacy of his own lineage, of course, they had to desperately pour dirty water on Emperor Taiding's lineage, and even denied the father and son of Emperor Renzong and Emperor Yingzong.
Yuan Wenzong
Later, Emperor Wenzong gave way to his brother Emperor Mingzong, and in addition to respecting the inheritance system of the eldest son, there was actually a reason for the status of Emperor Wenzong's birth mother and the high status of Emperor Mingzong's birth mother.
Although both brothers were the sons of Emperor Wuzong, Emperor Mingzong's birth mother was the daughter of Princess Nulun, a noble daughter of the Yiqilesi family and the daughter of King Huan of Qin, while Emperor Wenzong's biological mother was only an unknown Western Xia daughter, so he naturally wanted to express humility in his attitude.
Of course, the final result is that everyone knows that Wenzong, who has already tasted the delicious power, how can he willingly give way? Emperor Mingzong died at the hands of his brothers, and Emperor Wenzong was restored to the throne. Later, in order to save his son's life, Emperor Wenzong, who was superstitious about ghosts, designated the son of his eldest brother Mingzong as the heir, and after Emperor Mingzong's son Shun emperor took over the government, The Wenzong family was naturally liquidated by his nephew.
Therefore, if from a realistic point of view, whoever has a strong fist will become the emperor, that is, the gun, the rod, the son of the power, the victory over the king and the defeat of the Kou, Yuan Wenzong in the two edicts of the throne to claim that his family is the orthodox place, but also just a defense for his illegal rise to power to search for legitimacy.
Stills of the Yuan Shun Emperor
However, from the perspective of orthodoxy and legitimacy, the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty after Yuan Chengzong, only the Taiding Emperor and Sun Timur are the most orthodox, and the people are long and long, and they have political resources, which is naturally the most orthodox. Those who think that Emperor Wuzong's son should legitimately succeed to the throne should go to Yuan Renzong, who violated the agreement, to settle the account and put the pot on Emperor Taiding.
And the most ridiculous part of history is that the more unorthodox emperors who have illegally ascended to the throne, the more they like to attack others as unorthodox and illegal, and they obviously rely on the power game to divide the victory and defeat, but they have to put gold on their faces, to claim orthodoxy, but also to achieve the purpose of political correctness!
