In late autumn, the cold winds from the north arrive in Baghdad and become cool. When Kublai Khan woke up in the morning, he felt neither sweaty nor cold.

Seeing the Great Khan wake up, the chamberlain hurriedly served the Great Khan to go to the bathroom. Taking a comfortable bath, Kublai Khan only felt that he was full of energy. After breakfast, the Great Khan rode to the previously prepared venue.

Yesterday Boyan's letter arrived in Baghdad, and Kublai Khan's favorite minister informed Kublai Khan that Princess Maria had arrived safely in Constantinople, and that the current Eastern Roman Emperor had expressed his willingness to support the Mongols in their war against the Mamluks, in addition to thanking the Mongol court for their escort. Marshal Boyan decided to stay in Constantinople and continue to persuade the Eastern Roman Emperor that his support would not be limited to the spiritual realm, but would also have real material support in this world.

Seeing that it was impossible for Marshal Boyan to return within a few days, Kublai Khan ordered, "Tell the kings of Zhuzong to convene the Kuritai Conference tomorrow." ”

Escorted by the Great Khan's own army, Kublai Khan appeared at the meeting of the Kuritai Congress. The kings stood up behind the table and came to greet Kublai Khan. Walking across the red carpet, the Kipchak Khanate's emissary Tokhtambuhua smiled flatteringly, and upon arrival in Baghdad he asked Kublai Khan to support Tokhtomöngke's position in the Kipchak Khanate.

Further forward, the kings of the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate looked a little depressed. Kublai Khan secretly rejoiced that the two branches of the Golden Family finally understood who was the only Great Khan of Mongolia. It can be seen that this fact makes them feel down.

Now the Torre line is in power, and the one who is close to the big tent is the king of the Torre line. The salute of Arukun, the current Khan of the Ilkhanate, is heartfelt, continuing the correct positioning of Arukun's grandfather and father as the Khan of the Ilkhanate. The other sect kings of the Torre system are all princes who are divided into grasslands, although they are noble, their strength is obviously insufficient. Kublai Khan only nodded to these people, and did not particularly respond.

When the Great Khan arrived at the Golden Horde, he stood still, waved his hand, and all the kings sat down one after another. Kublai Khan only felt that the breath in his chest was smooth, and he never felt so good. After King Zong sat down, Kublai Khan sat down on the throne in front of the Golden Horde. The master of ceremonies stepped forward and said loudly: "Since the Great Khan of Möngke was summoned to heaven by the Immortal Heaven, my Mongolian tribe has been in constant dispute, and the top priority is to elect a new Great Khan. That's why the Kuritai Conference is here. But I don't know if you have any people to be promoted. ”

As soon as the master of ceremonies' words fell, the Khan king of the Ilkhanate, Aruhun, stood up and shouted: "I recommend Kublai Khan!" ”

Things have come to this point, and the kings of the Golden Family all know why they are sitting here, and everyone is no longer hypocritical, and they all shout: "I recommend Kublai Khan!" ”

"Kublai Khan is brave and wise, be the Great Khan!"

……

All the kings were recommending Kublai Khan, and many kings had to sing a few words of praise to Kublai Khan, and sing a few words of praise. Kublai Khan listened to it in his ears, and the beauty was in his heart. Twenty-four years ago, Kublai Khan's elder brother Möngke Khan returned to heaven in Diaoyu City, and 24 years have passed since then. In order to compete for the throne of this Great Khan, Kublai Khan killed his own brother and killed the khans of the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate. The Golden Family left a lot of blood for this position.

Today, this position is finally owned by Kublai Khan. It's been too long, Kublai Khan has waited too long.

Those main sect kings or representatives of the sect kings have already expressed their attitudes, and some of the sect kings on the periphery are still shouting. Kublai Khan stood up and waved. The group of sect kings who were not yet quiet also closed their mouths. Kublai Khan asked in a loud voice, "Do you really recommend me as Great Khan?" ”

Hearing this, the sons and grandsons of Jochi, Chagatai, Ogedai, and Torre all responded with a loud voice: "Kublai Khan should be the Great Khan!" ”

"Hah! Ha ha! Hahahaha! Kublai Khan looked up to the sky and laughed, full of pride, and he said loudly: "Since you are like this, I will never fail your trust." I am the Great Khan, and your sons and grandchildren will also be kings. If a traitor dares to plot evil, I will never let it go. ”

Kublai Khan's unanimous election as the new Great Khan was only the beginning of the Kuritai Congress, and after a corresponding ceremony of singing and dancing, the vassal kings each sent envoys back to their own territories to report the good news, and informed the Mongolian ministries of the good news that Kublai Khan had become the new Great Khan of Mongolia, so that the ministries could learn the great news as soon as possible.

The suzerain, on the other hand, remained in Baghdad and continued his duties as Mongol suzerain. Kublai Khan first called his crown prince Zhenjin out and asked him to meet with the Mongol king. Kublai Khan said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, after my death, I should inherit the throne of the Great Khan by real gold." ”

Hearing this, even the Mongolian kings who could pretend to smile couldn't laugh. Kublai Khan, on the other hand, fought against his Golden Family for decades, and is now recognized as the ultimate victor. The name Zhenjin is not as loud as Hao Ren in the minds of many vassal kings, why do the kings of the sect agree with the status of Zhenjin so much.

Looking at those faces, Kublai Khan said, "Ladies and gentlemen, who among the khanates is the wisest, and who do you think knows best?" ”

This question sounded so ill-intentioned, and no one dared to respond to the sect king. Kublai Khan looked at those suspicious faces and smiled at the kings of the sects and said, "Of course, you know best who is the wisest among the khanates. Therefore, in the future, the khans of each khanate will be elected by you and canonized by the Great Khan......"

Kublai Khan's greatest appreciation for the Han system is the inheritance system, which is the inheritance system of the son-in-law, and Kublai Khan believes that the system of the Han people to establish a successor and establish a long son is more reasonable than the Mongolian system of electing a strong person or a young son to inherit the family business. This time, he not only wanted to ascend to the throne of the Great Khan himself, but also to completely change the Mongol inheritance law.

After some very patient explanations, the kings gradually understood Kublai Khan's new system. Of course, everyone wants their son to inherit all their possessions and status, and now the new Great Khan Kublai Khan has made a whole new demand. The first is to make sure that the existing system of the four Mongolian khanates will not change, and that what the kings who came to participate in the Kuritai Congress this time have is what Kublai Khan wants to protect.

But Kublai Khan did not make such a promise in vain, and the descendants of Kublai Khan will also monopolize the throne of the Mongol Great Khan for generations.

The kings were overwhelmed by Kublai Khan's new idea, which is understandable. If the Kuritai Congress had adopted Kublai Khan's demands, the era would have ended once and for all since Genghis Khan. In that era, countless heroes threw themselves into war, relying on their bravery and wisdom to make meritorious achievements, and then changed their own destiny. Under the system that Kublai Khan wanted to establish, everything that Mongolia had would be divided among the kings who participated in the Kuritai Congress. Those future heroes can still rely on their own strength to make a difference, but they can only be rewarded. At present, the descendants of these people will be in control of the future, and naturally they will not allow the people and things that will change the whole of Mongolia.

In addition to following his father Kublai Khan on the first and second days, Prince Zhenjin was completing his father's explanation. Guo Shoujing and other Hanchen had already arrived in Baghdad, they had experience in designing and building most of the capital, and now Kublai Khan was eager to see these people come up with a new Baghdad city design.

Guo Shoujing and the others are also working hard, and they came up with the design drawings at the deadline of the Kulitai Conference. The new city of Baghdad is a two-storey model of an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is the city of Khan Bali, and the core is naturally the palace of the Great Khan of Mongolia. In addition to the imperial palace, it also included the offices of the Mongolian court, the residences of the Mongol princes and nobles, and the officials and ministers of the Mongol court. The whole is square, and the sides are eight miles long.

The inner city is the political center of Mongolia, while the large outer city is supposed to fulfill the functions of the city. Warehouses, trading posts, caravanserais, shops, schools, merchants, wealthy people, and craftsmen of all kinds lived in the outer city. In terms of scale, the new Baghdad is bigger and grander than most of the previous capitals. In the city, Guo Shoujing also designed the water supply and water supply system.

Zhenjin is a complete layman in urban design, and he listened to the introduction of Guo Shoujing and others absentmindedly, looking at the various marks on the map. Although he looked absent-minded, when Zhenjin wandered to a certain point, he would suddenly become nervous, and then come back to his senses and continue to focus on this urban plan. It can be seen that the thing that makes real gold care so much is far beyond the ability of real gold to bear. So much so that diverting his attention to urban planning, which is not familiar to real gold, can make it easier for him.

Guo Shoujing, of course, they could see the excitement of the real golden prince these days, but none of them dared to break this. While Prince Zhenjin was focusing on urban planning, Guo Shoujing, who was the most senior among the technical officials, hurriedly made a request under the gaze of other officials, "Prince, what about the people who repair the city." ”

Zhenjin smiled: "You don't have to worry, how many more people will be in the city." However, this new city of Baghdad is the capital of our Mongols, and we must not be careless in how it should be built. Do you have any good ideas for overseeing the work? ”

The officials who asked this question did not know how to answer. They really couldn't say anything else but 'oversee the work.'" And since the prince asked so, these people can't help but come up with a way. In a moment of silence, someone cautiously said: "If you don't learn from the old days, someone ordered the city to be repaired." After the walls were repaired, the craftsmen were ordered to strike the walls built by others with iron vertebrae. If you break the ......"

Just as he was saying this, he heard hurried footsteps outside, and after a while, Prince Zhenjin's cronies rushed in at a trot, and when they saw Zhenjin, they knelt on the ground, and said loudly with a happy face: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince." The Kuritai Conference is over! ”

When those Hanchen heard this, they didn't even have to look at each other, and they got up and knelt down one after another. Led by Guo Shoujing, the Hanchen also said: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!" ”

Jin wanted to say something, but his face was flushed and he couldn't say anything. was silent for a while with a red face, and Zhenjin suddenly covered his face with his hands and cried with joy.
