author:Destiny Sound Lane

Today to talk about the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty: Emperor Yuanshun, the name is relatively long, we will not say, he is the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to say, although Emperor Yuanshun was born in the imperial family, but his childhood was really not good, when he was nine years old, his father succeeded to the throne as emperor, the result was killed by his uncle, that is, the later Yuan Wenzong, and then his uncle became the emperor. After Emperor Wonmunjong became emperor, he sent him to Goryeo and locked him up, and was not allowed to have contact with people. After another year, he was exiled to Guilin, Guangxi, so to say, this little Yuan Shun Emperor, at that time, although this was a prince, but for the emperor did not dare to think, on the current situation, it is already good to survive, but did not expect that the world is so wonderful, people are not as good as heaven, sometimes you look at this person is very unlucky, but did not expect, suddenly there will be a day of willow dark flowers, no one will think ah, he will be able to become an emperor in the future, of course, he himself did not think so, He was also the longest-reigning emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and his uncle who usurped the throne did not have a long life, and after becoming emperor, he fell seriously ill and died in a few years.

Emperor Yuan Shun, who combined absurdity and genius

This uncle, when he was dying, did not know what was wrong, and suddenly found his conscience, thinking that he had killed his own big brother and taken the throne, he was indeed sorry for the big brother, and after he died, he could not explain to the patriarchs underground. After he died, he would return the throne to his eldest brother's son.

However, at the beginning, he did not let Emperor Xiaoyuanshun become the emperor, but let Emperor Xiaoyuanshun's younger brother ascend the throne and become the emperor, known as Yuanningzong in history, but he did not expect that this Yuanning Emperor's life was not long, and he died within a few months of becoming emperor. This is really who should be who is ah, can not hide back, this can not be done, just brothers, this brother has no only big brother, Xiao Yuan Shun Emperor returned to the capital to ascend the throne as emperor, since then, Yuan Shun Emperor has officially ascended the throne.

When Emperor Yuan Shun became emperor, he was 13 years old, and the prosperous era of the Yuan Dynasty at this time had long passed, and the prosperity of that year had become a cloud of smoke, so what he put in front of him after he became emperor was a mess, and when he ascended the throne at the age of 13, what would it be, nothing would happen, and he would promote the hero who supported his ascension to the throne, Boyan, to the position of prime minister and entrust him with heavy responsibilities. However, I did not expect that after this Boyan became the prime minister, his power became bigger and bigger, and in order to expand his own power, he planted a wide range of cronies in the DPRK, excluded dissidents, and embezzled at will. In addition, this Boyan also vigorously suppressed the Han people and did a lot of bad things, such as canceling the imperial examination and so on.

As Boyan's perverse actions are getting more and more intense, the national rebel army is one piece at a time, the world is in chaos, and Boyan is constantly asking to give him an official, to become a knight, all of this Yuan Shun Emperor of course also saw in his eyes, although on the surface it is nothing, but privately he is not idle, gradually accumulating his own strength, at the same time he also networked a powerful assistant, a nephew of Boyan, called Tocto, in 1340 Yuan Shun Emperor united to launch a coup d'état, taking advantage of Boyan's outing, Closing the gates of the capital and expelling it, Emperor Yuanshun was 20 years old and had been a puppet emperor for seven years, and Emperor Yuanshun finally regained his rights.

At the age of 20, he became pro-government, and in the second year of the New Deal, Emperor Yuan Shun changed his era name to one. Together with this Toto, a vigorous new deal was launched, and the Yuan Shun Emperor at this stage did everything in his power to try to save the yuan dynasty's crisis, but after all, because this society was too deep, coupled with the natural disasters that continued to appear at that time, this reform did not really save the Yuan Dynasty from water and fire, and finally broke out in full force within this year.

At that time, the Yuan Shun Emperor sent people to control the Yellow River, and it was at this time. Liu Futong, Han Shantong, and others launched a huge red turban army uprising, and from then on, the whole country was full of Haojie, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youyu, and these familiar names also appeared on the stage of history, and at this time, emperor Yuanshun, under the internal and external difficulties, no longer had the vigor of the beginning of pro-government, and it was at this time that the heavy ministers he relied on escaped, and because he was framed and dismissed from the post of prime minister, the Yuanshun Emperor who left to help him became more and more absurd in the government and began to become more and more absurd.

After Emperor Yuanshun became emperor, his harem was filled with all kinds of beautiful women, but then, it was absurd, he felt that so many beautiful women, he could not be alone, he had to share with everyone, you see if you were full of food, every day when you were full, you gathered a group of brothers to drink and eat meat in the harem, drunk and dreaming of death, and then, called beautiful women to party together, and even often exchanged with each other to compare with each other.

An important reason, at that time, one of his most favored palace guards, called Hama, Hama has a little advantage is that the eloquence is particularly good, especially will say, in order to cater to emperor Yuan Shun, he recommended this kind of fornication, that is, men and women together fornication, Emperor Yuan Shun was extremely fascinated, indulged in it all day, the history books record that Emperor Yuan Shun also chose 16 palace women. Called 16 Heavenly Devil, what is called 16 Heavenly Devil, are talented double all-round singing and dancing, these beautiful women are gestures imitating the posture of various gods and Buddhas full of Buddhist mysteries, but the posture of graceful dancing is moving, it is simply full of temptation, every performance Yuan Shun Emperor is drunk.

In the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and in May 18, the Red Turban Army revolted, until it was 120 miles away from the capital, the Yuan shun emperor panicked, and the chaos in the DPRK was chaotic, fortunately, this time the Red Turban army had infighting, no one could take care of him, and as a result, the Yuan Shun Emperor was able to save a life, but what he did not expect was that another rebel army was even more powerful. Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army claimed the title of emperor in Nanjing, established the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Shun Emperor 28 years, the Ming Dynasty general Xu Dabing came to the city, frightened the Yuan Shun Emperor to flee in the middle of the night, his escape, symbolizing the end of the Yuan Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains, and two years later, The Yuan Shun Emperor died of illness.

The Yuan Dynasty from Kublai Khan to the Yuan Shun Emperor, before and after 10 emperors, ruled for 96 years less than 100 years, single unit Shun Emperor reigned for 30 years, ironically, the original Yuan Shun Emperor's title was Yuan Hui Emperor, and later Zhu Yuanzhang felt ah, this Yuan Hui Emperor knew the overall situation, took the initiative to escape and retreat, and was nicknamed Shun Emperor. Well, that's all there is today's story.
