Ming Yingzong was captured and became the laughing stock of the ages, and Yuan Yingzong was not much better

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor seemed to be strange, and the experience was also surprising. Among them, Ming Yingzong was not the king of the fallen country, but he was a prisoner of the enemy country. This is also unique in Chinese history. What is even more bizarre is that Ming Yingzong slept in tatar dining and lived a precarious life. Later, he miraculously returned to the Ming Dynasty, overthrew the rule of his younger brother Emperor Jingtai, and successfully restored it again.

This experience is not inspiring, it can only be said to be the survival instinct in adversity, and Ming Yingzong has also been ridiculed and ridiculed by later generations. Interestingly, the temple number is also Yingzong, and although Ming Yingzong's experience is strange and humiliating, Yuan Yingzong is not good. It seems that between the two of them, they have a little connection.

Emperor Yuanyingzong was called Shuode Bala, and although he was the concubine of Emperor Yuanrenzong, he was highly criticized for becoming emperor. The reason lies in the agreement between Emperor Yuanwuzong Haishan and Emperor Yuanrenzong aiyu Li Bali Bada brothers: the elder brother Haishan will first become the emperor, and after his death, he will be succeeded by his younger brother Aiyu Li Bali Bada, and after the death of Aiyu Li Bali Bada, the throne will be passed to Haishan's son.

This agreement, similar to the Northern Song Dynasty's "Golden Alliance", Haishan wanted to repent, but finally fulfilled the agreement. When Emperor Yuanrenzong loved Yuli Bali Bada, he could no longer suppress his selfishness, so he did not pass the throne to his brother's son, but let his concubine Shuo de Balai inherit the throne.

The throne did not come easily, and the emperor deserved it very hard. This is because ShodeBara cannot hold great power and be a true king. At this time, his grandmother Empress Dowager Andi had taken control of the imperial government with the right chancellor Temu di'er, and did not give him any chance to make a decision.

Yuan Yingzong was young and deeply influenced by Confucian culture, and also saw the various shortcomings of the Yuan Empire. He very much wanted to work hard to inspire the imperial court through reforms, reverse the declining national strength of the Yuan Dynasty, and restore the glory of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. However, this reform naturally offended the interests of the old aristocracy. The empress dowager replied that she was already the representative of the old nobles, and she blocked the door of reform to prevent Yuan Yingzong's orders from reaching the capital.

In this case, Yuan Yingzong was very depressed. Fortunately, not long after, his grandmother Andi and the powerful minister Temu Di'er died one after another, which also gave Yuan Yingzong room for self-play. He immediately appointed the two ministers he trusted most, Bai Zhu and Tie Zhong, as the Right Chancellor and the Imperial Master, respectively, and added a large number of official positions.

Both of them were former vassals of Yuan Yingzong, and they accompanied Yuan Yingzong as early as when they were attacked by the Hou Party. In particular, Tie Lost, he was actually the key person for Yuan Yingzong to survive the difficulties. This is because the most trusted minister of the empress dowager is the right minister Temu Di'er, and Tie Mu Di'er is the righteous son of Temu Di'er. At the same time, Tie Lost was also the wife and uncle of Emperor Yuan Yingzong. It was this dual relationship that eased the contradictions of the empress to a certain extent, but it was also such a relationship that directly led to the tragic end of Yuan Yingzong and Tie Lost.

After Emperor Yuan Yingzong personally came to power, he began to announce that he would pardon Temudi'er's crimes and not blame him. This was originally an excellent attitude, but the young Minister Baizhu did not spare it, and repeatedly played the faults of Temudi'er, which made Yuan Yingzong angry. He was even angry at Tie Lost, who himself was also corrupt and perverted the law, for fear that he would suffer misfortune as a result.

In the midst of this entanglement, Tie Lost took the lead in attacking, and when Emperor Yingzong of Yuan returned to Dadu from Shangdu and stayed at Nanpodian, 30 miles south of Shangdu, he suddenly led many resentful old nobles to launch a coup d'état, including Temudier's son Suo Nan. They killed Bai Zhu, the camp of Emperor Yingzong of Tieyuan, and killed the emperor who was entangled with his own grudges.

In Chinese history, not many emperors have been killed by such violent coups. Yuan Yingzong unfortunately became one of them, although he seemed to be smooth sailing, in fact, his life was very humiliating, and he was even killed by his subordinates, was it not even more miserable than Ming Yingzong, and he was also humiliated?
