The news of the merger of the heroes soon reached the Yuan Court. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt this time, one of the prime ministers of the Great Yuan Dynasty was in the grassland to suppress the rebellion, and the other was fighting against the Great Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Some people proposed to withdraw Boyan to exterminate the Liangzhejiang bandits, and some people proposed to transfer the Han army that had just returned from the grassland to quickly extinguish Chen Hangyan, believing that once Chen Hangyan died, the other bandits would be calmed down. There are also proposals to make peace with the remnants of the Song Dynasty for the time being, so as to ease the ...... of the country's vitality. All sorts of suggestions flowed into the palace, but there was no response. As if he had not heard the news of the turmoil in Sheji, the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan threw the daily court discussions and the suppression of bandits to the crown prince Zhenjin, and with the assistance of Lu Shirong, Li Guida, Guo Shoujing and others, he devoted himself to reforming the hundred officials and the Dayuan currency system.

Seeing that Kublai Khan did not go to court and pushed everything to the crown prince, the advice of the ministers became more and more uncoincidental. And Prince Zhenjin has never led troops, and he can't think of a good way to deal with the rebels in various places. After repeatedly discussing with the ministers for more than ten days, he finally adopted the most negative idea, ordering the envoys of various towns to suppress the bandits on their own, and at the same time ordering the envoys of Jinan, Zilai, and Dongchang Zhulu to gather troops and horses to block the Jiaozhou Peninsula and strictly prevent the thieves from hanging their eyes and then expanding their forces to the northwest.

This completely stupid trick was sent to the palace, but Kublai Khan used the seal without saying a word. At the same time, let Guanglu Temple Zhengqing Yue Chi Er send a message to the ministers, asking the ministers to "assist the prince as much as I do, and not slack off the government!" ”。 As for what His Majesty the Emperor was busy with, under the repeated questioning of the ministers, Yue Chi Cheer, who had just been promoted to the head of Guanglu Temple, only replied with seven words: "I don't know, I can do it myself!" ”

The ministers were suspicious all of a sudden, some privately said that Kublai Khan's squad suffered a cold on the way, and others said that Kublai Khan was injured by a stray arrow while fighting in Liaodong. There are all kinds of rumors, and so on. The only thing that no one believed was that Kublai Khan was really busy sorting out the chaotic bureaucracy and currency system of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Before Kublai Khan's teaching, the price of banknotes had fallen nearly a hundredfold. When it was issued, it was handed over twice and exchanged for one tael of silver, but now a sack of banknotes is handed over and sent out, which may not be exchanged for a bucket of brown rice. Therefore, when the imperial court announced that all the banknotes were invalid and the money was suspended, it did not cause much opposition among the ministers. The powerful ministers had already exchanged all the money paid by their families for gold and silver, and as for the officials who had no power and power, they had never relied on the court's money to live, and the loss of the money was not taken into account at all.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, just when the rumors were spreading, Kublai Khan came out of the inner palace. According to the rank of 100 officials, Lu Shirong reformulated the standard of Yulu. Ordered Guo Shoujing and Li Guida to mint new coins based on the metal currency that had been circulated from the south. These two orders immediately caused an uproar among the courtiers. What kind of person is Lu Shirong, whether he has a foundation or not, whether he has a foundation or not, and Kublai Khan handed over to him such an important matter as formulating the standards for the ministers and ministers, and it was clear that he wanted to promote him to take over the vacancy in Pingzhang politics left by Ahma. Although neither Li nor Guo had real power, those who were familiar with government affairs knew that the annual cost of casting two pieces of silver into silver ingots in various localities was much higher than that of local officials. If the banknotes were to be converted into coins, and the power to mint loose silver and gold was taken over to the Ministry of Industry, within three years, the people in charge of the minting would be richer than the country, and the local officials would lose their money forever in their income.

As a result, the officials immediately abandoned the controversy over how to quell the rebellion and focused all their efforts on bureaucracy and currency reform. After some covert operation, in the first month of the fifth year of Xiangxing, Wang Yan of the Imperial History wrote to Zhenjin, impeaching Lu Shirong for corruption and perverting the law, and suggested that Zhenjin urge Kublai Khan to temporarily give up the suspension of money and coinage, and put his main energy on suppressing bandits. Crying to Kublai Khan's father and son, if they continue to "insist on going their own way", the Great Yuan Dynasty will be in danger. The weight of the words is unprecedented.

After Kublai Khan received the recital, he took the case and announced that he would return to the court. On the first day of presiding over the early dynasty, on the charge of "slave and deception", the imperial history Wang Yan was killed with a cane. Subsequently, he took out the excerpt of Timur, the squire of the military department, who suggested that the army of Boyan be withdrawn to Jiangbei, and sent Timur to the Wanhu Prefecture (now Novosibirsk) to preside over the local horse administration on the charge of "short-sightedness and overwhelming". Immediately afterwards, Abdullah, the minister of governance, was demoted from the court for the crime of "ignorance and recklessness", and he was escorted to Xishan to quarry stones.

"I'm not old yet, which of you is single-minded for the country, and who is half-hearted, I can see clearly!" Kublai Khan, who roared at the case, once again gave a taste of the majesty of the steppe khan. "You will do your best to assist the prince, and I will naturally not forget your contributions. If anyone dares to bully the prince and not understand government affairs, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"Ministers, ministers are loyal to Your Majesty!" Isht Moore, the old minister in charge of the Imperial Observatory, lay on the ground and played. Yushi Wang Yan is his protégé, and the excerpts on the board were also discussed by several old ministers. Some time ago, Kublai Khan deliberately ignored the turmoil in various places, and Isht Mur and others thought that Kublai Khan might be a little old and confused, so they had the audacity to make a mixed move. And Kublai Khan killed Wang Yan with a cane in court, and he slapped the ministers of Yushitai in court and slapped Isht Mur with a resounding slap.

"Temur is loyal, I know it. But you don't know what your men are thinking. Kublai Khan smiled, but he didn't let the guards help Isht Mur to calm down, and rebuked the ministers to himself: "I ordered you to faithfully assist the prince, and you have come up with a lot of good ideas." In addition to the transfer of Boyan to the north is to negotiate peace, is it possible that the civil and military affairs of my Great Yuan Dynasty are just this point of knowledge? ”

A few words made cold sweat break out on the foreheads of the ministers. Kublai Khan's class was still facing backwards, and the division of power with the crown prince Zhenjin was very vague. A prince who presides over the government every day, and an emperor who holds a large army but ignores government affairs, indeed makes everyone unclear about the object of allegiance. In the absence of allegiance, it is inevitable that something will happen.

Seeing that Kublai Khan was slow to let Isht Mur calm down, the Taishi Itchechara's face was a little unbearable. Kneeling down from class, he played in a low voice: "Yushi Wang Yan's words are reckless, and he really deserves to be killed." Lord Ishtemur is in charge of the Imperial Historical Tower, and it is his duty to speak out and correct the mistakes of the officials......"

"Yes, including dividing the relationship between my father and son, and reaping the benefits from it!" Kublai Khan's face sank and he asked sharply.

"Don't dare!" If Kublai Khan's anger was due to the fact that they connived at his subordinates to hand over excerpts, it would be a sin of "having no way to do it" at best. If the upper outline is on the line to "separate the prince and the emperor", it is not an exaggeration for the two to be exterminated.

The civil and military faces of the Manchu Dynasty were like earth, and no one expected that Kublai Khan would suddenly give such a heavy hand. Looking at the blood stains on the heads of the two old ministers, everyone was very unbearable. But at this moment, no one can mention the courage to defend the two.

Seeing this scene, Li Guida, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, sighed quietly in his heart. Now he is also an important minister of Kublai Khan, although his position is not high, but he walks unhindered in the inner palace, not only the Han ministers look down on him, but even the Mongolian and Semu ministers, who have always been discordant with the Han ministers, see him, a fourth-class southerner, and intersect with each other as equals. But deep down, there is always an indescribable sense of superiority tormenting him. Let him unconsciously classify himself as an outsider, and he will never be able to integrate into the northern court.

This will not happen in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion under Wen Tianxiang. Although Wen Tianxiang does things "arbitrarily", he likes to be open and honest, and would rather argue with people who disagree with his political views than play this kind of trick to lure the snake out of the hole. If this happened in the Great Song Dynasty before Wen Tianxiang was in power, Wang Yan would not be guilty of any crime. It is his responsibility to give advice to the emperor, improper wording, disrespectful tone cannot be considered a big mistake, and even slapping the table directly in front of the emperor is a trivial matter. At most, the emperor ordered someone to drive him out of the palace gate to reflect, and after a few days, the monarch and his ministers were still reconciled.

But this is Kublai Khan's Great Yuan Dynasty, and the emperor and his subordinates are not monarchs and ministers, but masters and slaves. A master doesn't need a reason to kill a minion at all. As for why Kublai Khan found fault with Isht Mur today, the reason Li Guida is even clearer. At the celebration party for the suppression of the Nayan rebellion, Isht Mur and others not only congratulated him, but also poured cold water on Kublai Khan's head on the grounds of "fratricide". With Kublai Khan's temperament, this face will have to be regained sooner or later.

"Don't knock, I'm dizzy. I'm old, but I'm not confused. I have read every single one of the notes you have handed over these days. At present, there are literary thieves in the south who are pressing forward step by step, and there are still bandits and grass bandits in the heartland, can you rest assured that I will lead the army to the expedition? On the throne, Kublai Khan asked with a sigh.

"Ministers, ministers and others have failed to live up to Your Majesty's grace!" Ye Li lived up to the title of a capable minister, and took the lead in kneeling on the ground to admit his mistake to Kublai Khan. Isht Mur and Itchechara were both leading figures of the Mongol courtiers, and they lost the favor of Kublai Khan, which was a good time for the rise of the Han courtiers.

"Minister, minister, please punish Your Majesty!" Seeing Ye Li kneeling, Brother Sang, the core of the ministers of the color eye, knelt down after him. Bending his knees when he can bend his knees is his way of being an official, the strength of the Mongolian ministers is damaged, and the benefits left behind must not be taken away by Ye Li alone, no matter what you say about it, you will get a piece of the pie.

"Punishment, Ye Li, Brother Sang, do you two know what crime you have committed?" Kublai Khan sneered and asked.

Ye Li and Sang Ge looked at each other, according to common sense, the two of them took the initiative to ask for punishment, Kublai Khan should be relieved, forgive the false mistakes of everyone, and promise benefits. Unexpectedly, Kublai Khan went against the norm today and asked the guilty petitioner to say his guilt first.

"Minister, minister is confused and useless!"

"Minister, corpse vegetarian meal!"

Ye Li and Sang Ge wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and replied one after another. Ichotchara and Ishtmur were still kneeling in front of them, not knowing what would happen to them. And the two of them slapped the horse's legs, and it is estimated that they will not be able to fall into any good fruit. In this way, the power of the Mongol, Han, and Semu ministers was balanced again, and Kublai Khan did not have to scratch his head about personnel arrangements.

"You two, the fault is that you are too smart. A seven-hole exquisite heart is not placed on the right path. My Dayuan Dynasty does not want people who fall into each other's favors, nor do they find people who make trouble. When the decisive battle with the remnant Song Dynasty is due, what we want is for you to work together to tide over the difficulties with my Great Yuan! Kublai Khan slapped the imperial case and scolded.

"If you want to be your subordinates, you are helping me with ideas, not finding fault with me. I want you to stand in the court to help me govern the country, not to move my money to your own home! Listening to Kublai Khan's scolding, Ye Li and Sang Ge's faces were as pale as earth. Ishtmur and Itchechara knew that they were in danger of escaping today, and they couldn't help but choke up.

"Time and time again, I have made you do what you want, and you have failed me again and again. I've only been hiding in the harem for a few days, and you've made a lot of trouble. If I really die on the battlefield, do you want my Great Yuan to be torn apart? ”

"The ministers are guilty!" All the civil and military knelt down. No one has ever seen Kublai Khan get so angry since he pacified Ali Buge. There are cowards who secretly regret it in their hearts, they knew that this was the case, it was better to follow Hutut Mur to stay on the grassland to suppress bandits, although the weather in Liaodong was poor, it was better than being confused to send it to the Balin Wanhu Mansion where the birds did not.

"Get up, I don't want to kill any more people today!" Kublai Khan scolded enough, sighed, and ordered everyone to be even. Without waiting for everyone to thank him, he immediately ordered that Isht Mur, Taishi Itchechara, and Saliman, who were in charge of the Imperial History Terrace, should return to their hometowns. Ye Li, an important minister of the Han family, and Sang Ge, a heavy minister of the color eye, went home to reflect. Promote Guanglu Temple Zhengqing Yue Chi Er as the Xuanhui envoy and lead the Shang Dining Academy, Guanglu Temple, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. The grandson of Borshu, the hereditary Yuxi Timur was in charge of the Yushitai, and was given the name "Yuelu Nayan" (Nengchen). Promote the cowardly Xue Wanze to be the prince's mansion Zhan Shi and the right minister of Shangshu Province. Ordered the great-grandson of the meritorious man to go to the Zongren Mansion to listen to it.

"Compared with the Great Song Emperor, His Majesty Kublai Khan is a hundred times wiser!" Li Guida is purely a bystander's eye, and secretly analyzes it in his heart. Old people such as Isht Mur, Taishi Itchechara, and Yushi Zhongcheng Sariman went into the wilderness, and "young" officials such as Yuechi Cher and Wan Ze were quickly promoted to knighthood, which meant that the Great Yuan Dynasty had completely replaced the old and the new. For the turbulent Great Yuan Jiangshan, the stability of the imperial court is the foundation for solving all problems. After that, the crown prince Zhenjin did not have to doubt his identity as the heir, and Kublai Khan's expedition had a lot less worries when he was outside.

Kublai Khan quickly cut through the mess, and several decrees replaced the courtiers who had recently "performed poorly". Then, according to the suggestion of the crown prince Zhenjin, he ordered the financial endowments of the provinces south of the Yangtze River not to be transported to Dadu, and directly handed over to Boyan to suppress the bandits. Then it was announced that the new standard for the salaries of civil and military officials was paid monthly, and the amount was more than twice that of the original salaries, and that all officials' salaries would be uniformly transferred by the household department in the future, and officials would no longer be allowed to withhold local finances and taxes on their own.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Hong En!" The frightened ministers said in unison. Not allowing access to local finances and taxes is equivalent to blocking the financial routes of some transit envoys and Xuanfu envoys, and the ministers of the capital will also lose some of their filial piety. But the threefold amount of money made them feel the vast imperial grace again.

"I will not fail any of my faithful courtiers. My country will always be shared with all my ministers! Kublai Khan laughed and loudly announced another new deal. Starting next year, all officials will be issued in gold and silver, and will not be offset by physical goods or banknotes. Someone, bring me the sample! ”

Several guards hurriedly ran out and took out the coin samples that Kublai Khan, Li Guida, Guo Shoujing and others had worked hard to get from the inner palace. Suffering a loss of one banknote, Kublai Khan decided to follow the example of the south, and the currency was all minted in metal. As for the weight, size, and the content and proportion of various metals in the currency, the Great Yuan Dynasty unceremoniously plagiarized the research results of the Shaowu Academy of Sciences.

Gold, silver, bronze, and bronze, four kinds of beautifully minted and evenly weighted currencies were placed on the court, shaking the eyes of civil and military officials. The kind of currency in the south that is easy to carry and has a clear face value was very popular among the people of the Great Yuan Dynasty. The officials were first frightened half to death by Kublai Khan's heavenly threat, and then heard that their own Yulu had doubled, and now they learned that their Yulu would be paid directly with gold coins, and they were pleasantly surprised, kneeling on the ground and shouting long live.

Hearing the cheers, Kublai Khan's mood improved slightly, and he pointed to the gold coins on the plate and said: "The money for coinage comes from the treasury of silver." This thing is not more than handing over money, and it can be printed more by nature. In the future, as much silver taels as the imperial court can receive, it will be able to mint as many coins. If I can collect an extra amount of taxes, I will be able to give you an extra amount of money. If I lose Jiangnan and Lianghuai, your Yulu will also be halved. Our monarchs and ministers share wealth and wealth, and we have to live hard times together! ”

"Long live the wise!" Again the ministers praised. Before they could recover from their joy, Kublai Khan issued another holy decree, headed by the crown prince Zhenjin and Yuxi Timur, to verify the property of hundreds of officials. Any property whose origin is unknown and the amount of money is huge shall be punished as the crime of embezzlement. The head of the family was beheaded, the children and grandchildren were enslaved, and all the property was confiscated as the capital for coinage.

When they heard the thunderbolt, everyone was dumbfounded. Unlike paper money, metal money is a direct reflection of how much principal the treasury has. Everyone thought that Kublai Khan's coinage money came from the income from speculating in real estate some time ago, but they never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would have the idea of a large number of family properties. At this moment, Dayuan is almost unofficial and not greedy, and if the prince Zhenjin is carefully examined, I don't know how many heads will roll down.

However, at this moment, no one dares to raise objections. Once he spoke out against it, he annoyed Kublai Khan and didn't say anything, but he took the initiative to send it to the door and tell the emperor that his majesty was a corrupt official. The stupid person immediately remembered how to go home and transfer his property, and the clever person who was as clever as Li Guida understood that this was another slap in the face of Kublai Khan's acquiescence to Zhenjin taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents and stabilize the position of the first heir.

After a series of thunderous reform measures have been implemented one after another, the time has come to February of the fifth year of Xiangxing. Kublai Khan handed over a relatively clean and simple court to the crown prince Zhenjin, and quickly moved south with 300,000 Han troops armed to the teeth. At the same time, the heroes from all over the world are spread to those who abandon their weapons and come to surrender, and they are not to blame in the past. Persist in resisting and exterminate the Nine Clans. As for the prefectures and counties occupied by the rebels, they were all treated as enemy territory. After the arrival of the Dayuan soldiers and horses, those who surrendered in Kaesong were spared death and their property was confiscated. Hold on to the resisters, slaughter the city.

The treasury of the Great Yuan Dynasty was quickly filled with the results of Kublai Khan's father and son.
