Chapter 80 Chapter 80 The Two "Wu Zetians" of the Yuan Dynasty

Look through the list of Chinese dynasties in the "Modern Chinese Dictionary", and you will find that there are four women, one is Lu Hou, the other is Wu Zetian, and the other two are not the familiar Empress Xiao or Empress Cixi, but the Yuan Dynasty. The two heroines: Empress Naimazhen and Empress Hai Lost, they were in power in 1242-1246 and 1249-1251 respectively. What kind of two women were they? Empress Naimazhen was the queen of Emperor Taizong Wokuotai in the Yuan Dynasty. In 1241 A.D., Wokuotai died suddenly due to alcoholism, and the Mongolian army's western expedition was forced to stop.At that time, the army was advancing towards Vienna in Central Europe. Since then, the Mongolian army has never set foot on this land.

When Yuan Taizong died, he left a will to let his beloved grandson Shiliemen succeed him, but the queen Nai Mazhen refused. She wanted to make his son Guiyou the Great Khan.According to the system at that time, the abolition of the Great Khan had to be passed by the Kuriltai Assembly, and Batu (the eldest grandson of Genghis Khan, with high prestige) who had conflicts with Guiyou refused to attend, so Empress Naimazhen came forward to take power by herself , This is the historical "Naimazhen post-pronunciation system". Empress Naimazhen is a woman with a legendary life experience.

Empress Naimazhen was originally the woman of Genghis Khan's enemy, the leader of the Mierqi tribe. After Genghis Khan wiped out the Mierqi tribe, he gave her to his third son, Wokuotai, as his wife.This woman is not only beautiful and capable, but also good at seductiveness. Wo Kuotai is fascinated by her, and he is extremely fond of her.Empress Naimazhen's belly was also particularly competitive, and she gave birth to five sons for Wo Kuotai.Therefore, after Wo Kuotai inherited the Khan throne, he made her the queen in charge of the harem. Empress Naimazhen is a beautiful and shrewd woman, but she is not a politician. She did stupid things right after she took power.

She has always liked to do business with people from the Western Regions as a queen, so the person she trusts the most is not the clan nobles, nor the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, but two Hui people from the Western Regions (the current Hui people), a man and a woman. Audura Heman is a businessman, and his woman is Fatma, a witch.These two guys used to mainly make trouble in the harem, but when Ma Zhen became the queen, the two of them ran to the imperial court to make troubles. Audura and Man, who only know how to do business, were named prime ministers by Naimazin. In order to seize more power, he and the witch Fatma colluded with each other, and repeatedly slandered Naimazin, slandering the elders and important officials. As a result, the elders of the three dynasties Yelu Chucai died of grief and anger, the right prime minister Zhenhai and other old ministers were forced to leave the center of power and stand aside. Suddenly the Mongolian court became the world of Muslims.Under such circumstances, the political affairs of the Mongolian Kingdom are in chaos, the people are in dire straits, and the situation is becoming increasingly turbulent.

Although Empress Naimajin has the desire to take power, she knows that she is getting old, so she has been fighting for her son Guiyou to legally inherit the Khan throne.In 1246 A.D., Batu finally sent his younger brother Beerge to attend the Kuriltai Conference on his behalf. At this meeting, Guiyou became the third Great Khan of the Mongolian Kingdom as he wished. Called Yuan Dingzong. Soon after Guiyou ascended the throne, Empress Naimazhen died of illness.As soon as Empress Naima died, her favored days of Odura, Man and Fatma came to an end. Guiyou found an excuse to cut off the head of the former, and the latter was wrapped in a blanket and thrown into the river alive. drowned.

Although Guiyou wanted to surpass his father, Khan Okudei, in terms of achievement and fame, it was obvious that he was unable to do so.However, he did compete with his father in drinking and drinking and indulging in women, but his body has always been weak and sick, and he was vulnerable. Sai Shouxi went to find his mother Naima Zhen. Guiyou's wife, Empress Hai Lost, is not as easy-going as her mother-in-law Empress Naimazhen. After the death of Guiyou Da Khan, Hai lost and blocked the news, kept the funeral secret, and learned from her mother-in-law Naimazhen. After being lost, Hai believed in witchcraft like her mother-in-law, which made the court a mess and a mess.To make matters worse, because the new Great Khan hadn't been elected yet, Guiyou's two concubine sons, one named Hucha and the other named Naohu, each occupied a palace and fought against each other. On the other hand, the Mongolian kings were good at issuing documents and doing their own thing.Disputes within the imperial court caused the Khanate to fall into chaos. In addition, there was a severe drought, water springs dried up, weeds set themselves on fire, and cattle and horses died in all likelihood. The Mongolian Khanate was already in crisis and precarious.

While Wo Kuotai's descendants were drinking and reckless, the wives and children of Tuo Lei (Wo Kuotai's younger brother, who is Zhong Guo Jing's sworn brother) are working hard to establish the lofty prestige of their family, and the former is no longer the latter's. opponent.At the Kuliertai Conference in 1249 AD, with the support of the Mongolian king headed by Batu, Mengge, the eldest son of Tuo Lei, was established as the Great Khan. He is the Yuan Xianzong in history, the throne of the Mongolian Great Khan Finally, it was transferred from the Wokuotai family to the Tuolei family.

After Hai Lost, Hucha and Naohu brothers were unwilling to give up power and admit defeat. The three who had been opposed to each other even joined forces to make trouble, and even linked up with other clan kings of the Wokuotai lineage, but Tuolei's son Meng Brother, Kublai Khan (the future Yuan Shizu) and his wife, the old concubine Solu Huo Tini are all very powerful characters, so the rebellion was quickly quelled.Meng Ge Da Khan executed more than 70 key elements including Hucha and Naohu. After being lost in the sea, he was thrown into the river and drowned because he secretly instigated the rebellion of the Zongwang of the Wo Kuotai family.

Empress Naimazhen and Empress Hai Lost both have the same strong desire for power as Wu Zetian, but neither has the high political ability of Wu Zetian. It's a big joke, the extravagant and promiscuous Wokuotai family was defeated in laughter, and the Tuo Lei family, who worked hard to govern, had the last laugh in the political game.
