On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the first year of Yuantong, Ye Qi brought his family of more than 30 people to the capital. Less than an hour after stepping into the new home, the eunuch came to call Ye Qi into the palace to discuss matters.
[1] "Drinking Wine and Pei Di-Shang Que" Wang Wei. Poetry
? Drinking wine and being generous with the emperor,
Human feelings are overturned like waves;
? Prime Minister Bai knew that he still pressed his sword,
Zhumen Xianda laughed and played the crown.
Ye Qi came to the meeting hall of the imperial palace, and there was no sound in the hall.
I saw the Prime Minister Yan Tiemu'er sitting on the main seat of the main hall, with the Empress Dowager Bu Dali standing at the head, Boyan, a member of the Privy Council, sitting at the bottom of the Empress Dowager, and the rest of the important officials were seated in order of rank.
Seeing Ye Qi coming in, Yan Tiemu'er spoke: "Emperor Chongsheng Xiao [Yuan Ningzong] has been buried in the 'Qiren Valley'[1], and the throne is vacant for more than a month. There is no king for a day." He glanced around and said again, "Everyone, let's have a discussion! Who should we choose to be our new emperor?"
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
Yan Tiemu'er called by name and said: "Ye Qi, you just came from Sichuan. Do you know the officials in the provincial government below, what do you think?"
Before Ye Qi entered Beijing, he had a clear idea of ??the situation in the capital from Wang Shouchang. He knew that Yan Tiemu'er was in power now, and the person he most wanted to succeed to the throne was the young prince, because it would be beneficial to his control. So he cleared his throat, stood up and said: "Since ancient times, the succession of the throne has mostly been passed down from father to son. It is only natural for Yan Tie Gusi, the son of Emperor Yuanxiao of the Holy Ming Dynasty, to inherit the throne."
Yan Tiemu'er nodded in agreement, and the rest of the officials also agreed.
However, Bu Dashili objected. She was persuaded by the shaman's words, "Children and young children may not be allowed to be a great blessing", and she was unwilling to make her son emperor. Bian said: "The position of heaven is the most important. My son is young and Chong. How can he be appointed! Mingzong has a son, Tuohuan Tiemuer, who lives in Guangxi. He is thirteen this year and can inherit the Datong."
Yan Tiemu'er said: "He? No way!"
Bu Dashili asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Tiemu'er said: "He may not be the eldest son of the royal family."
Bu Da Shili asked again: "Who says he is not?"
"Oh, who said" Yan Tiemu'er sneered, and said, "In the second year of Zhishun, Wen Zong announced to the world that Tuo Huan Tie Mu'er was not Yuan Mingzong's biological son in black and white no, Huang Silk gold characters, why, this doesn¡¯t count anymore?¡±
Bu Dashili said: "At that time, there was a reason for what happened. I think the prime minister knows the reason better than me." The queen mother said, standing up excitedly, "Emperor Shengming Yuanxiao [Yuan Wenzong] asked me to He said, "The thing that happened in the past was a big mistake in my life. I thought about it in the middle of the night, and I regretted it." He decided to pass on the throne to Mingzong's eldest son, Tuohuan Tiemuer"
Seeing that the empress dowager and the prime minister were arguing, Boyan put down Erlang's raised legs, patted the dust on the corners of his legs, and said, "Since the emperor of Shengming has a will, why should we discuss it?" It¡¯s okay to act.¡±
Yan Tiemu'er gave Boyan a white look, and cursed inwardly: You bastard, I treat you well on weekdays! Fortunately, you made me up at a critical time. This is really amazing¡ªdrinking wine and being lenient with the emperor, the human relationship is overturned like waves This capricious villain.
Yan Tiemu'er stood up, said: "Then do it this way!" and left without looking back.
[2] "Drinking Wine and Pei Di-Xia Que" Wang Wei. Poetry
The grass is all wet by the drizzle,
The flowers and branches are about to move, and the spring wind is cold;
What's the point of asking about the floating clouds in the world,
It is better to lie down and add meals.
After Wan'er came to the capital with Ye Qi, she was always trying to find out the whereabouts of Yuan Zhen in order to fulfill Yu Rong's entrustment.
But Wan'er is just a little maid in the Ye Mansion, how can she get in touch with high-ranking officials in the capital? It seems that this matter can only depend on my master.
Fortunately, before coming to the capital, Ye Qi had agreed to help find Yuan Zhen's whereabouts. In addition, Wan'er's trickery won Ye Qi's favor, and soon Ye Qi assigned her to Yuan Zhen, the servant of the official department. And invited Yuan Zhen to a small tavern for a drink, and asked Wan'er to accompany him.
Yuan Zhen described some of his situation after entering Beijing:
?Since Yan Tiemu'er took power, Boyan has been in a low mood. Emperor Wenzong saw all this. In order to win over Boyan's heart, during the Spring Festival of the third year of Zhishun, because of Boyan's great contribution, he specially ordered everyone to have a banquet to compare with the gift of "drinking cups" given by the kings of the emperors, and gave a hundred people who were cowardly and evil, contemptuous There are hundreds of people begging for children, and hundreds of people for Asu are their guards. And married the grandson of the prince, a princess named Bu Yan, to Boyan as his wife.
&??
? On the tenth day of the seventh month of this year, Emperor Taiding died in Shangdu, and the prime minister turned his back on Shasha to monopolize power. At this time, Yan Tiemu'er, the former minister of Emperor Wu Zong who stayed in Dadu and a member of the Privy Council, took advantage of this opportunity to conspire to establish Tutie Muer, the son of Emperor Wuzong's son Huai Wang, as emperor in Dadu. As a result, in order to fight for the ruling power of the Yuan Dynasty, the two factions headed by the above-mentioned Dalusha and Yan Tiemu'er headed by Dadu inevitably had a war, known as the "Battle of the Two Capitals" in history.
"The Battle of the Two Capitals" ended with Yan Tiemu'er's complete victory. In the same year, Tutiemuer's older brother Bo'er Zhijin. Heshi? was established as emperor, and he was named Yuan Mingzong. However, in this year, only 184 days after Yuan Mingzong ascended the throne, he suddenly died of a sudden illness, and his death is according to later generations' textual research, which was the work of Yuan Wenzong Tu Temuer. In this way, Tutiemuer ascended to the throne stepping on the blood of his elder brother and Shi? He was Yuan Wenzong.
It stands to reason that Wen Zong poisoned his elder brother and took great pains to secure his position in the country. Naturally, he would leave it to his son to pass on to generations to come. But for some reason, Wen Zong had just ascended the throne, and within half a year, his youngest son, Bor Jijin Baoning, died; the following year, Alathenadala, who had just been established as the prince, also died suddenly. At this time, just over a year after Wenzong ascended the throne, he lost his two sons one after another, and only his second son, Gunadala, was still alive.
From the perspective of our current people, ancient medical conditions are limited, and it is normal for children to die early, but in the eyes of the ancients, this may not be the case. No, at that time, Yuan Wenzong attributed the early death of his two sons to the curse and revenge of Yuan Mingzong who was poisoned to death by him. He thought that his brother was still alive and wanted to take revenge on himself, so that he would have no sons and grandchildren. That's why his two sons died prematurely one after another.
As the saying goes, there are dreams in the day and night.
Yuan Wenzong thought about his brother's grievance all the time, so he often dreamed that his brother came to ask for his life. In this way, under such suspicion, Wen Zong firmly believed that his brother came to ask for his life, but in order to let his brother's wronged soul rest in peace, he prayed to gods and ghosts, and asked for advice from wizards, hoping to communicate with Ming Zong through the gods. , begging him to let his son go.
Just at this juncture, by coincidence, the only surviving son of Yuan Wenzong, Gunatalazhen, suddenly became seriously ill. This is good, Yuan Wenzong completely believed that the ghost of Yuan Mingzong came to take revenge, and in order not to let his last son die in vain, Yuan Wenzong had to pray to Mingzong and promised to return the throne after death To his son in exchange for his forgiveness.
Don't tell me, Yuan Wenzong's prayer is really effective. For unknown reasons, after praying to Mingzong, the second prince, Guna Dala, really recovered. As a result, in order to keep his children safe, Yuan Wenzong was determined to return the throne to his elder brother. For this reason, he didn't even listen to the words of the power minister Yan Timur, and retorted: "The old man who swayed and forked It was a big mistake in my life. I thought about it in the middle of the night and regretted it. Although Yan Tie Gusi is my son, I love him, but the current position is the great position of Mingzong. Your generation is like love I would like to call Ming Zongzi Tuo Huan Tie Mu'er to come here, Mr. Dengzi. If so, even though I see Ming Zong in the underground, I can still have some words and stop my ears! I will collapse at the end of my words, to the effect that it is for the safety of my child After my death, I summoned Mingzong's eldest son, Tuohuan Timur, to come back to succeed him, so that when I went underground to see my elder brother, I would have something to say.
Of course, because Yan Tiemuer was still quite powerful, although Yan Tiemuer could not prevent the throne from being passed to the hands of Yuan Mingzong's lineage at that time, in order to prevent the enthroned son of Yuan Mingzong from liquidating himself, he resolutely opposed his eldest son's succession. Instead, he asked Yilin Zhiban, the eldest son of Mingzong, to be the emperor, because Yilin Zhiban was only seven years old at this time. Let him ascend the throne, at least he can be controlled.
In this way, Yilin Zhiban miraculously sat on the throne of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Of course, although Yilin Zhiban was very lucky, his luck was too poor. He obviously couldn't enjoy the throne, and died suddenly after only 53 days on the throne. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
