1. The Yuan Shun Emperor is the most famous carpenter emperor in history
When it comes to carpenter emperors in Chinese history, everyone usually thinks of Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with Emperor Yuan shun, Zhu Youxiao can only be regarded as a pediatrician, because Emperor Yuanshun has reached the level of designer. He can design his own scaled, precisely structured, and authentic model of the house. He had built a dragon ship that required 24 sailors to operate at the same time, and when the dragon ship left, the dragon's head, eyes, mouth and other parts could move like a real dragon. He built a complex water-powered timing device, the uterine leak. At that time, people called Emperor Yuan shun "Luban Tianzi".
2. The Yuan Shun Emperor also once saved the empire from peril
When Emperor Yuan Shun ascended the throne, the Yuan Dynasty was already on its way to an end. However, Emperor Yuanshun successively carried out a series of reform measures such as restoring the scientific system, punishing corruption, opening up the ban on horses, reducing taxes, compiling and revising the histories of the Liao, Jin, and Song dynasties, and implementing Confucian rule. From the beginning of the reign, the Yuan Dynasty also once showed a situation of returning to the light. However, Emperor Yuan Shun bet all the treasures on the body of The Removal, and after four years and seventeen requests for retirement, the deep corruption of the Yuan Dynasty, coupled with his reign, was a period of disasters in history, and the tragic Yuan Dynasty finally came to an end.
3. Emperor Yuan shun was also a poet
We all say that the Yuan Dynasty was not soluble in the Central Plains culture, so it was eventually driven back to the grassland to release horses. In fact, Emperor Yuan Shun received a good Education in Chinese as a child, and his Han cultural attainments were quite high. There are three surviving Chinese poems circulating in the world, one is that at that time, Fujian reported the deeds of Xiaozi Wang, and Emperor Yuanshun wrote two seven-word poems to show him. There is also a song that after Emperor Yuanshun was expelled from the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang sent emissaries to find and surrender him. Emperor YuanShun wrote a poem "Answering the Lord" to Zhu Yuanzhang, in which it was written: "Believe that the sea is returned to the Lord, and he is also happy that there are talents in Jiangnan." Returning sincerely upset, Chunfeng first arrived at the Phoenix Terrace. A poem, Zhu Yuanzhang was coaxed to be very happy.
4. Emperor Yuan Shun had planned to flee overseas
For the fate of the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Shun Emperor was also prepared for it, so he had a plan to flee. Because Emperor Wonshun had exiled Goryeo and married Goryeo women, it is important that Goryeo was only a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, so Emperor Wonshun was more at ease with Goryeo. In the 29th year of Zhengzheng, Emperor Yuanshun sent more than a dozen carpenters with their families to build a palace in Goryeo (present-day Jeju) as a place of refuge. However, the palace has not yet been built, and the Ming army has captured Dadu. Coupled with the fact that the Goryeo kingdom was trying to break away from the control of the Yuan Dynasty, this plan to flee overseas was never successful.
5. Emperor Yuan Shun planned to counterattack the Ming Dynasty
When Emperor Yuan Shun fled to Shangdu, he consulted with his subjects many times and formulated a plan to counterattack the Ming Dynasty. These included: the mobilization of troops, the king of Goryeo to bring troops to support; the selection of generals, the sealing of Timur, that is, Wang Baobao as the king of Qi, giving the golden seal; Feng Yesu as the king of Liang, Jia Taibao and so on. Inspector Yushi Xu Jingxi also boldly made ten suggestions to Emperor Yuanshun in response to the counter-offensive plan. However, the counter-offensive plan was obviously not smooth, and although the first battle achieved some small victories, it was then defeated and finally failed to save the entire war.
6. The tomb of Emperor Yuan Shun became a mystery
Mongol emperors had always practiced secret burial. The funeral was simple and there were no funeral items. After burial, there is no grave pile, no marking, and horses to flatten the cemetery, but also planted grass, and blend with the surrounding environment. And the death of Emperor Yuanshun, one theory is that he died in Yingchang City, and the other theory is that he died of illness on the way to escape from the desert, and even the corpses were buried. Therefore, where to be buried after death, it is even more fascinating.
Emperor Yuanshun, like the last emperors of all feudal dynasties, always bore the ugly reputation of a subjugated monarch on his back. Its merits and demerits are still left to future generations to comment.
