Chapter 59 confusing life experience

It is said that Chengzu once went to the Taimiao to watch the statues of the emperors of the past dynasties.When I saw the emperors of the Song Dynasty, I said that except for Song Taizu who looked good, the others were too weak. He looked like an imperial doctor instead of an emperor. No wonder he couldn't keep the country.When I saw the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, I said that this is the appearance of an emperor. But when I saw the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shundi, I said strangely that this emperor is very different from the previous ones. , Why do you look like an imperial doctor?

What does this imply?Is Emperor Yuan Shun a descendant of the Song Dynasty emperor?This inference seems too absurd.However, this seemingly absurd statement is really supported by folklore. When the Yuan army captured Lin'an City and destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the five-year-old Emperor Song Gong became a prisoner of the Yuan army, was taken to Dadu, and was named "Ying Guogong".Later, Kublai Khan probably felt that if he stayed in Dadu, those who were dissatisfied with the Yuan Dynasty would always worry about it, and it would make people's hearts unstable, so he sent him to Tibet to study Buddhism, named "Hezun".After becoming a monk, Emperor Song Gong devoted himself to Buddhist principles, and translated many scriptures from Chinese to Tibetan, such as "Theory of Baifa Mingmen" and "The Theory of Enlightenment from Mingming", etc., widely promoted Buddhism, and became a generation of Buddhist masters. Tibetan history.

Buddhism in Tibet is not the same as that in Central China. Monks are allowed to marry wives and have children. Therefore, the former Song emperor and Master Hezun married a Hui woman.At this time, a prince from Dayuan happened to come here, and he just fell in love with that woman.Although he was a great mage, the power of the former emperor was naturally inferior to the current prince, so he had no choice but to let the woman go with him.Later, the woman gave birth to a boy, and later, the boy became emperor by accident, that is, Emperor Yuanshun. Such a bizarre story naturally aroused the interest of many people in textual research.However, after everyone's textual research, it is agreed that it is not reliable to recognize Emperor Yuan Shun as Emperor Song Gong's son.The prince of the Yuan Dynasty, later Mingzong of the Yuan Dynasty, had a concubine of the Hui nationality, but she was from a prominent family. He believed that she had married Master Hezun, but it was unclear about the time and identity.Therefore, this story is probably made up by the adherents of the Southern Song Dynasty. Speaking of authenticity, it is probably similar to the story about Qianlong being the son of Chen Gelao in Haining.

However, nothing is groundless, and this bizarre story has its basis.In the fourth year of Tianli (1331) of Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court issued an edict: declaring that Tuohuan Tiemuer, the eldest son of the first emperor (Yuan Mingzong), was not a dragon, and exiled him to Jingjiang (now Guilin, Guangxi).It is really jaw-dropping to publicly put a green hat on the former emperor, but it was caused by the fierce court struggle at that time. In the Yuan Dynasty, from Kublai Khan to Shundi Tuohuan Tiemuer, there was only a short period of 38 years, but nine emperors changed, and most of them died of accidents.It turned out that this was related to the imperial succession system of the Yuan Dynasty.Before Kublai Khan, the Khan of Mongolia was elected by several major tribes. Kublai Khan proclaimed himself emperor by force, and stipulated that the succession of the throne in the future could be inherited by father and son, or brother and brother. More importantly, the Yuan Dynasty The emperor generally had to ascend the throne in Shangdu (Zhenglan Banner, south of Xilinhot City, Inner Mongolia today) to count.In this way, the emperor's ascension to the throne has a lot to do with the power of the suzerain vassal kings. It is often not the home world, but the product of the coordination of various clan powers.Under such circumstances, Tuohuan Timur, who was declared to be a wild species, actually became emperor for thirty-five years. Apart from all kinds of chances, he had to admit that his luck was really great. It's a little too good, it really is the "Shun" Emperor.

Let's start with his father, Yuan Mingzong. This one became emperor because of his brother's "generosity".His younger brother Yuan Wenzong won the throne with the help of the power minister Yan Timur, but he still thought of this elder brother who was far away in Mobei, so he expressed that he would give up the throne to his elder brother and sent Yan Timur to Mobei to meet him.Yuan Mingzong saw that his younger brother was so modest and allowed himself to sit on the throne, and he was naturally very grateful. Before he could return to Dadu, he named his younger brother "Emperor Taidi".And the emperor's younger brother was also very happy, and he was about to go north in person to meet the emperor's elder brother.The northbound and southbound teams met on the road, and the brothers reunited. Naturally, a big banquet was held to celebrate.So, on the fourth day of the banquet, Mingzong "collapsed violently", and his younger brother Wenzong sat on the throne of the emperor who had been away for eight months.

Wenzong, who had regained the throne, brought Mingzong's widow, Empress Babusha, mother and son into the palace to support them.According to the original promise, Wenzong should make Mingzong's son the prince, but Emperor Wenzong revealed the idea of ​​making his own son the prince.In this regard, Empress Babu Tsar was naturally dissatisfied, and coupled with the fact that she had always expressed doubts about the cause of her husband's death, it was inevitable that there would be complaints.Wenzong's empress, Bu Dashili, ordered to execute Empress Babusha to death, and also used this to remove obstacles for her son to become the prince.Afterwards, Mingzong's son became a thorn in her side. Tuohuan Tiemu'er was the eldest son of Mingzong. He was already ten years old at the time, and he was the oldest one chosen by the heir to the throne. Naturally, she couldn't tolerate it even more.As a result, a bizarre palace secret came out: Tuohuan Tiemuer was not Mingzong's son.

The source of the news was the husband of the prince's nanny. He said swearingly: Mingzong once told him that Tuohuan Tiemu'er was not his son.Naturally, there is no way to check such a headless case, but for Wenzong and the queen, there is no need to check it.They quickly exiled Tuohuan Timur to the remote country of Koryo, and placed them on a large Qingdao in the outer sea.In the second year, he simply issued a formal edict to exile him to Jingjiang.As for Tuo Huan Timuer's younger brother, Ming Zong's direct son, maybe because he was too young, Wen Zong also found out a little bit of conscience, so he left him in the palace to raise him.

So far, Tuohuan Timur has fallen to the lowest point of his fate, and the possibility of him ascending the throne is almost zero.However, it is true that people are not as good as heaven. Two years later, Empress Wenzong Bu Dashili actually made thirteen-year-old Tuohuan Tiemuer the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Speaking of it, I have to admit that Tuohuan Timur's luck is really good.After Wen Zong and his wife exiled him, they really made their own son the crown prince, but the child may have had a poor life, and died of illness 20 days after being made the crown prince.Moreover, his younger brother also fell ill.Wen Zong and his wife had only two sons, one of them died, and seeing that the other could not be saved, they were naturally panicked and prayed to God and Buddha everywhere.Later, the son got better, and Wen Zong fell ill again. He thought it was the result of being sorry for his brother and sister-in-law. In order to repent to heaven, he told the queen, prince and important minister Yan Tie Mu'er on his deathbed that Ming Zong's death must be done. His son succeeded him.

Although Yan Tiemu'er was reluctant about this, Empress Dowager Bu Dashili might have been frightened and insisted on sticking to her husband's promise, so Tuohuan Tiemu'er's younger brother was made emperor for Yuan Ning Zong.But the little emperor died of a sudden illness after only forty-three days.Yan Tiemu'er asked Li Wenzong's son to succeed to the throne again, but the empress dowager still refused and insisted on Li Mingzong's son.But the only son of Mingzong left was Tuohuan Tiemuer who was exiled in Jingjiang.At this time, she probably forgot that she had declared that Tuohuan Timur was a wild species, and sent someone to welcome him back.

However, although the empress dowager agreed to establish him, Yan Timur, who held great power, did not like him no matter what.At that time, the Empress Dowager used the reason that the emperor was too young to designate Yan Timur as the regent, with military and political power in one hand.He procrastinated not to go through the enthronement formalities for the little emperor, and the ministers under him didn't dare to say anything. This meant that Tie Muer's throne was in jeopardy.However, fortunately, God helped, and two months later, Yan Timur died, so Tuohuan Timur successfully ascended the throne as Emperor Yuanshun.
