Since ancient times, the emperors who have mixed decently are all the same, and the emperors who are not mixed up have their own different styles.
First of all, there are those who are not good at mixing, there are greedy, there are lustful, there are mediocre qualifications, there are smart people who are mistaken by smart, there are those who do not know how to die, and some who obviously have many talents in other fields, but the emperor's profession cannot jump the job... In short, there are all kinds of things, colorful, and perhaps being an ordinary person is nothing at all, but under the magnification of the identity of "emperor", it has become the talk of the masses throughout the ages.
Speaking of mixing decently, this group is very well summarized, whether it is ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the key words of the life of these emperors are as strikingly similar as reproduction, that is, "fighting"; no matter how the original personality and temper are, in the end it will be a state, that is, "indifference, suspiciousness", which is a qualified and competent emperor's essential character.
And today we are going to talk about Akbar the Great, he is a natural emperor.

The reason why I want to talk to everyone so much about the unpopular profession of the emperor before telling the story is because the direction of Akbar's life is really how to see how familiar. If I didn't know that I was looking at real historical materials, I would even suspect that this was a copy of a certain "xx emperor" (such as the Kangxi Emperor, the Yongzheng Emperor, the Han Wu Emperor...). ), just like another idol drama produced by Yu Ma, change the name upside down and the plot is reversed.
Later, I remembered that the trajectories of the lives of the emperors who were famous in the annals of history were similar, they were able to rule the world with skills, without exception, to fight for a lifetime, to cultivate a ruthless iron face that no one could believe, and in the seemingly supreme glory, step by step, step by step, step by step, thrilling to a tomb that had been cultivated with golden splendor.
They must have lived very lonely. He is a man who is very afraid of loneliness. So watching Akbar's story can't help but bring a little sympathy and sadness.
Unlike the "bald prince" in the ivory tower, when Akbar was a child, he saw the dangers of the imperial family. His father Humayun fell to his death in a trance on the stairs of the Delhi Library because of opium addiction, and Humayun's unexpected death caused the Mughal nobles to be as excited as opium, and the various forces quarreled for more than half a month before they reluctantly reached an agreement to support Humayun's 12-year-old young son Akbar to inherit the throne. After this, the death of the supreme Son of Heaven, Humayun, was revealed to the world, and indeed the world was cold.

The nobles who advocated the cultivation of their young sons must have had their own calculations, but whatever they were calculating, the later facts proved them wrong. The young Akbar not only inherited the ambitions of his father and grandfather, but was even more ambitious than Babur and Humayun combined.
Akbar, who ascended to the throne at a young age, certainly had an auxiliary minister named Bajram, the equivalent of the "regent" we think of.
After the regent Bajram supported Akbar to the throne, he soon helped the young emperor to quell a tricky rebellion, the leader of the rebellion was humayun's old subordinate of the Afghan prince, a native Indian named Hem, this time he attacked the Mughal not to avenge the Afghan prince, but to restore the Hindu tradition, so he named himself "raja vikramaditya", so that no one can know that he wants to restore the glory of Hinduism in South Asia.
Hem was well prepared, his army was indeed brave and good at war, the Mughal army led by Bajlam, although the scale advantage was obvious, but it was particularly difficult to meet the battle, but the balance of luck was always random, the super sun king did not receive the blessing of the super sun king in the indian land, the balance was still biased towards the Muslims, a long-eyed stream arrow hit Hem, his already reckless army was instantly leaderless, panicked and fled, Bayi ram chased after the situation, and quickly reported the counterinsurgency to Akbar. Immediately after, Bajram took advantage of the victory to pursue, wiped out a series of Afghan princes, and digested their stubborn chassis into the Mughal territory, and the most central and fertile North India region on the South Asian subcontinent was crowned with Timur's surname. Bayiram made a great contribution to this land, which was the eye of most rulers, as a congratulatory gift for Akbar's accession to the throne.

The plot developed here, I think you readers should guess the next step, in the TV series, this kind of bullish and flashing power lord generally can not survive three episodes. Akbar soon realizes that Bayi ram is the lord, while Bayi ram, who obviously does not watch much TV series, does not understand that if he wants to survive within three episodes, he will retire. He lived up to expectations and began to arrogantly abuse power. Akbar, who was already 17 years old sitting on the throne, narrowed his eyes like a poisonous snake, and he began to use the nobles around him who opposed Bajlam to rebel.
The identity of those involved in the Bajlam opposition is not a stranger to us who are the tenth level players in the historical palace fight drama, including the maternal relatives, the confidants of the nursing mother (nursing mother) family, and the seven aunts and eight aunts who are not accustomed to Bajlam. They used the religious sect as a golden oil to expel heresies, pointing directly at Shiite believers such as Bayi ram (Bayram was the arm of the former emperor Humayun, and the past of Humayun and persian Shia, please see the previous issue), Akbar, as the behind-the-scenes commander, naturally coldly watched the protector who had fought hard to secure his throne. It was not until the voice of opposition reached its peak that Akbar "had no choice but to resign as prime minister for the sake of the will of the people" and asked Bajlam to resign as prime minister.
Bayi ram woke up from a big dream, and it turned out that the Mughal court did not know when it was no longer a chessboard for him to control the whole situation, and under Akbar's childish face was hidden the ambitions that belonged to an imperial undercurrent.
Bajram could not help but shiver in his heart, although Akbar still remembered the merits of the regent, only stripped him of his decision-making power and allowed him to stay in the palace as an official, but Bajram no longer wanted to be among the Mughals surrounded by opponents, he chose to leave India and go on pilgrimage to Mecca, fulfilling the ultimate Dream of Faith of a Muslim.
Unfortunately, this dream eventually turned into a nightmare, and before Bajram could set foot on the voyage, an Afghan who had a deep hatred for him murdered him. Speaking of which, Bajram attacked the Afghans to resent it, but also for Akbar to fight the world.

However, the news of Bayiram's death did not bring much sadness to Akbar, and it was only after removing the obstacle of the regent that the little monarch, who knew his purpose, was able to gradually pro-government. The aristocratic relatives who made a great effort in the overthrow of Bajlam naturally became the new wave of power centers in the Akbar court, because the core of the composition of this wave of people was basically women (Akbar, Akbata's nursing mother, Akba's milk brothers), so the Mughal period was also known in history as women ruling.
During the woman's reign, one of Akbar's most trusted warriors was his wet mother's son, Adam Khan, a brother who contributed greatly to Akbar's overthrow of Bajlam, and led an army to open up territory for Akbar day and night, and his influence in Korea and China was also growing.
According to the iron law of "the power of the lord can not live for three episodes", Akbar soon realized that the milkmaid's family was threatening his position, and after Adam Khan invaded Malva, seized all the spoils of war, and brutally slaughtered the Malva people, Akbar was greatly disgusted with him, personally came to the army to reprimand and dismiss Adam. Adam Khan, who had been severely warned, apparently, like his predecessor Bajlam, did not smell the danger signs that Akbar was jealous. But if he reads "The Biography of Zhen Huan" once, he will not be dull like this...
When he made another attempt before Akbar, he woke up to the great land of South Asia, who was the master and who was the subject. At the end of 1561, Adam Khan disagreed with Akbar's choice in the appointment of the prime minister (even in such a big matter as personnel), and the way of opposition was extremely simple and crude, and he directly drew his sword and killed the new prime minister in the hall of his palace! Such a real-name system is also really hardcore, and I think at that moment he might as well change his name to Adam Hun.
Akbar was shocked by Adam's cruel behavior, a simple-minded man can still keep it, a cruel man can not tolerate it, Adam's behavior cannot but make people suspect that it is a foreplay for assassination of the saint, even if not, in case one day he looks at the emperor unfavorably, does he dare to directly draw his sword against him? Thinking of this, Akbar no longer hesitated, and threw Adamu to the ground with an iron fist. Fortunately, Adam did not dare to fight back with the monarch, or that he had no strength to fight back after being punched hard by Akbar. Akbar then, in a more hardcore way than he did, directly threw the cruel Adamu to death on the steps of the court (a story that is meticulously recorded in Mughal miniatures).
Subsequently, Akbar remembered the prime minister who had just been stabbed to death by Adam, although Adamu's behavior was extremely unexpected, but it was undeniable that the position of prime minister was indeed in full view of everyone and too powerful, and a little carelessness would develop into the next Bayiram. Akbar's deep eyes quickly turned to the color of calculation, and he had already made a new decision between the electric light and flint, and he wanted to immediately abolish the position of prime minister with concentrated power.

Since the young emperor ascended the throne, the various forces have thought that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the struggle has been constant, but this time the blood that Adam has not dried up is like pouring ice water on the hood of the Mughal court that is eager to try and heat up, and all the power and glory of this country belong to only one person, that is, Akbar.
To be continued, I want to know how Akbar is fighting after the pro-government, see you next Friday!
