Chapter 335 Chapter 334

Yuan Mingzong, named He Shiwangshu, was the eldest son of Wuzong, and his mother benevolent Xianzhangsheng empress, also Qi Lie's family.He was born in the fourth year of Dade in Yuan Dynasty (1300 AD) and died in the second year of Tianli (1329 AD).30 years old. He Shiwangshu's father, Bo'er Jijin Haishan, was the eldest son of Yuan Chengzong Tiemu'er's elder brother Dalamabala.During Chengzong's period, Haishan was conferred the title of King Huaining in the eighth year of Taide (1340 A.D.) because of guarding Mobei and pacifying Haidu's rebellion.After Chengzong's death, Haishan's younger brother, Aiyu Libaliba, arrived in Dadu Jianguo, and welcomed Li Haishan to inherit the throne.At the beginning of Wuzong Haishan's ascension to the throne, he established his younger brother Aiyu Libali Bada as the crown prince and heir to the throne.At the same time, an agreement was reached between the two brothers that brothers, uncles and nephews will inherit each other, that is, after the death of Renzong Aiyu Li Bada, Wu Zong Haishan's eldest son and Shi Wangshu will inherit the Datong.However, after Renzong ascended the throne, he reneged on the original agreement.

In the spring of the third year of Renzong Yanyou (1316 A.D.), the Yuan court discussed the establishment of the crown prince.At that time, Prime Minister Tiemu Dier, in order to flatter Renzong to consolidate his position, suggested that Shuodebala, the son of Renzong, be made the crown prince.At this time, Renzong had long forgotten the agreement with his brother Haishan, so he pushed the boat along the way, named Wu Zongzi and Shi Wangshu as kings of Zhou, and left the town of Yunnan. In July of the first year of Tianli (1328 A.D.), Tiemuer, the grandson of Emperor Taiding, died of illness in Shangdu.In order to repay the Haishan family, Yan Tiemu'er decided to help the son of Haishan become emperor.At dawn one day in August, the officials of Dadu were suddenly notified and rushed to Xingsheng Palace, but what awaited them was a large group of warriors with swords and guns.Frightened by the power, most people hastened to express their support and the world king to be the emperor, and Zhongshu Zuocheng Duoduo, who was ignorant of current affairs, was thrown into prison.Yan Tiemu'er controlled most of the situation.However, at that time He Shi Wang Shu was far away in the northwest desert, and Yan Tiemu'er was afraid that things would change over time, so he sent an envoy to Jiangling to meet He Shi Wang Shu's younger brother Huai Wang Tutimuer.At the same time, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he also claimed that he had sent envoys to the north to meet Zhou Wang and Shi Wangshu. In September, under the support of Yan Tiemu'er and others, King Huai Tutiemu'er finally ascended the throne of emperor. This is Wenzong.Tuthemuer still did not forget to confess: "It is not my wish to be the emperor. Once the elder brother arrives, let him rule the world."

Just when Tutimur proclaimed himself emperor in Dadu, the prime minister Dao Lasha in Shangdu also supported the youngest son of Emperor Taiding, Asojiba, who was only 9 years old, as emperor, and sent Wang Chan to lead the army south to conquer. Break Juyong Pass and enter the capital.Most of the parties sent Yan Tiemu'er, his younger brother Sa Dun, Zi Tang Qishi and others to lead the army to fight.After several fierce battles, the Daangsha army was defeated.In October, Dalusha was forced to surrender under the pressure of the Dadu Front Army, and was later executed.Emperor Tianshun Asoji Ba didn't know where he ended up.Shangdu and Dadu regained contact.

In the first month of the second year of the Tianli calendar, Tutiemuer sent an envoy, Sadi, to persuade King Heshi to advance.So He Shiwang Shu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the north of Helin, and he was named Mingzong. As soon as Mingzong ascended the throne, he immediately showed the domineering power of his eldest brother and emperor.He repatriated Wenzong Tutimur's envoy Sadi and others, and said to them in a lecturing tone: "My younger brother used to like reading history books, but he hasn't stopped recently? You must know that when dealing with political affairs, you should be in harmony with him." Let the sages and bureaucrats work together to comprehend the gist of the historical books carefully, so that they can understand the principles of the rise and fall of chaos in the past and the present! When you go back, please tell him what I mean."

A power struggle inevitably arose between Tutemur and Mingzong.In February of the second year of Tianli, Tutiemuer established the Kuizhangge Academy in Dadu.He also worshiped the official and dismissed him without authorization, and then pretended to send envoys to invite Mingzong.The deal was done, Mingzong had no choice but to agree, and pretended to say to Yan Tiemu'er, a trusted minister of Tutiemuer who came to enshrine the emperor's seal: "Any official in the capital appointed by my younger brother must not be changed. Please tell him my opinion." But in April of the second year of Tianli, Mingzong couldn't wait to start the action to regain power. He appointed Ha Baltu, the former minister of Wuzong, as the official of Zhongshu Pingzhang, and Bo Timur, the former official of Zhongshu Pingzhang, was the official of the Privy Council and the regular attendant. Polo is the royal doctor.Sai Timur, Mainu and Zhixing Privy Council.Zhongshu Sheng, Privy Council, and Yushitai were the three key departments of the central government in the Yuan Dynasty, responsible for government affairs, the army, and supervision respectively.While establishing the central power, Emperor Mingzong turned his attention to the localities again, appointing Qilai and Ji'er Harang as the political affairs of Pingzhang in Gansu Province, Hulatai as the political affairs of Pingzhang in Zhejiang Province, and Nahai as Lingbei Xing Provincial Pingzhang political affairs. In May, the former ministers and followers of Qiandi were selected again, 85 people were ordered, and 26 people were below the sixth rank.This action seriously shook Wenzong's sphere of influence in the local area.At the same time, Mingzong began to march south from February, approaching Dadu.

Faced with Mingzong's aggressive posture, Tutiemuer knew that it was difficult to directly confront him. On the surface, he conceded humbly and repeatedly sent envoys to the north to meet Mingzong and asked him to make rulings on some major issues, thinking that he was paralyzed. In August of the second year of Tianli (AD 1329), Mingzong led his people to go south and arrived at Wanghuchadu near Shangdu. Tutiemuer, who went north to meet Mingzong, took a risk.At this time, Mingzong had completely lost his due vigilance, and was poisoned to death at the banquet by Tutiemuer and his party member Yan Tiemu'er.Thus ended a seemingly peaceful but sinister battle for the throne.

Mingzong reigned for only 8 months and was 30 years old. After his death, he was buried in the Chariot Valley.The posthumous title is "Emperor Yixian Jingxiao", and the temple name is "Mingzong".
