The crown prince Zhenjin of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, angrily used a hard bow to smash the head of Ahma, who was tilting toward the opposition, and bleeding profusely. Kublai Khan asked him in shock, what happened to the wound on his face? Ahma only said he was kicked by a horse. The prince on the side immediately scolded angrily: "Shameless person, you dare to deceive the king, this injury is what I hit!" ”

Ahma was stunned, he wanted to hide it, after all, Kublai Khan knew that there were many contradictions between him and the prince, which was not a good thing in the end, but the prince did not give the slightest face, and dared to admit it on the spot. Kublai Khan had long heard that the prince and Ahma were at odds, but he did not expect that the prince would beat Ahma violently in broad daylight.
Since Ahmad's administration, the use of various means of wealth collection, such as the monopoly of medicinal materials, the monopoly of salt and iron, and the issuance of treasure banknotes (paper money), have increased the income of the imperial court dramatically, providing the army with sufficient money and food materials, which has won the trust of Kublai Khan. However, Prince Zhenjin and Ahmad have different ideas.
In 1243 AD, the prince was born in Mobei, Kublai Khan asked the Central Plains Haiyun Zen master to name his top, Haiyun pondered for a moment, felt that the most valuable thing in the world is "real gold", simply for the prince to take the Chinese name "real gold", meaning that it is expensive. Since then, the prince has had a deep connection with the Han culture.
In order to rule the Central Plains more firmly, Kublai Khan spared no effort to recruit a large number of Han courtiers to assist him. In order to allow the crown prince to establish sufficient mutual trust with the Hanchen clique from an early age, Kublai Khan specially arranged for Yao Shu to be his Confucian teacher. Using the Book of Filial Piety as an enlightenment teaching material, the prince was given a preconceived notion of Confucian culture.
The prince's second teacher, Dou Mo, was not only a famous theorist, but also a golden acupuncture physician. Reading Wang Ke was not simple, he was a mathematician and astronomer at that time, and often instilled historical knowledge to the prince. After the painstaking transformation of these Han courtiers, the prince unsurprisingly became the most Sinicized Mongol nobleman.
Therefore, the prince advocated the implementation of benevolent government, lightly dispensing with small endowments, recuperating and recuperating, so that the people of the Central Plains had a stable and tolerant living environment. Once, the province of Jiangxi triumphantly offered the imperial court 470,000 taels of income other than conventional taxes. This is certainly a great achievement for Kublai Khan and Ahma, who have seen the money in their eyes.
However, when Prince Zhenjin learned of this, he angrily scolded them: "The imperial court ordered you to govern one side, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, there will naturally be no shortage of money and grain in the future." If you plunder the people's fat and the people's ointment, causing the people to be in turmoil, even if you get more money and food for a while, how can you use it for a long time? ”
He immediately ordered Jiangxi Province to return all this additional tax to the people. Liu Sigong had captured sixty new households and given them to the imperial court as slaves, and when the crown prince learned that these people were all obtained by the Yuan army when they attacked Chongqing, he immediately said with an angry face: "Dismiss them all, and don't lose the hearts of the people because of this!" ”
However, when the subordinates' property exceeded the regulations, the prince always did not hesitate to let them return the excess part, after all, the more the imperial court took, the less the people had left. Since ancient times, all the dynasties that are keen to compete with the people for profits generally cannot resist for long, and the prince is familiar with history and naturally does not want to repeat the same mistakes.
He knew that Ahma's practice of exhausting himself and fishing would only anger the Han courtiers and the people, and eventually deepen the rift between the imperial court and the Zhongyuan family clan, forcing everyone to move from open strife and secret struggle to fierce armed confrontation, and finally gain more than they lost. Therefore, he even pressed Ahma to the ground and beat him in front of Kublai Khan.
However, Ahmad continued to collect money recklessly, including desperately issuing treasure notes (banknotes), resulting in severe inflation and the people being made miserable, while the court and Ahmad's financial management team made a lot of money. At the same time, Ahma also deeply resented the Hanchen group.
He not only repeatedly abolished the laws drawn up by Han Chen, but also deliberately cut off the supply of grain and other materials for the Guozijian, resulting in the difficulty of cultivating talents for the Guozijian to continue, and in desperation, the Guozijian had to sacrifice wine Xu Heng and could only return to his hometown. The prince sent someone to comfort Xu Heng: "Don't take care of your body, one day you can make Han culture popular!" ”
In 1280 AD, Jianghuai Province Zuo Cheng Cui Bin impeached Ah Ma for corrupting the law, but was bitten back by Ah Ma, the prince was eating, heard the news and angrily threw away chopsticks, because he was worried that Cui Bin was poisoned by Ah Ma, he quickly sent people to rescue him, but unfortunately one step too late, Cui Bin had already been killed by Ah Ma.
Ahma became more and more despised and arrogant by Kublai Khan, and the Han courtiers could not bear it. Taking advantage of the absence of Kublai Khan and Prince Zhenjin in Dadu, king Qianhu joined forces with other Han courtiers and a small number of generals to send people to summon Ahma disguised as the prince, and used a copper hammer to make Ahma receive a box lunch on the spot, and then turned himself in.
Kublai Khan was furious when he found out, and if you overthrew Ahma, wouldn't that mean cutting off the court's financial path? These Hanchen were bold and arrogant, and simply did not pay attention to the emperor, so they killed all the Hanchens who were involved in this matter, including Wang Zhu. Ahma's subordinates did not give up, intending to take revenge to the end.
In 1285 AD, Kublai Khan, who was seventy years old, overeated, sick, and his physique deteriorated. Coupled with his balance of power among the Han courtiers and the Semu people, the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was always not handy. Yushi took the opportunity to go up and ask Kublai Khan to give the throne to the prince, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Although Shangwen stole the song, Ahma's subordinates had already learned of the incident and turned around to inform Kublai Khan, who was furious and ordered Hanchen to hand over the song. The prince and the others were frightened and scattered, and once they handed over the song, they deposed the prince or washed the courtiers in blood, and after careful consideration, they decided to preemptively attack.
The Han courtiers hurriedly denounced Ahma's subordinates for embezzlement and perverted the law, thus gently taking the matter of Zen Rangzhang over, and Kublai Khan executed all the remnants of Ahma. Although the results were not dangerous, the prince, fearful of Kublai Khan's suspicion and persecution, was always panicked and uneasy, and returned to the west in less than a year.
Throughout the Yuan Dynasty, Prince Zhenjin was the most Sinicized member of the royal family, and if he succeeded to the throne smoothly, he would certainly take measures to completely Sinicize. In the fierce power struggle, he always firmly sided with the Han chen, and deliberately interfered with the customs of the Semites, thus forcing them to leave China, but the people died.
