Since Fan Zhuoyuan entered Beijing, he has seen that in most of the capital, people of all ethnic groups and colors are flowing endlessly, shops and hotels are lined up, major religious temples coexist in one city, and the commercial culture is extremely prosperous.

The Yuan Dynasty was indeed the most developed dynasty in the commodity economy since all dynasties, after all, the thinking of nomads governing the world was completely different from that of traditional farming peoples.

The developed commodity economy stemmed from the very low restrictions imposed by the central court on the merchants, but it is necessary to know that the primitive accumulation of capital is soaked in filthy blood in every capillary tube.

Therefore, the developed commodity economy has created a strong rise and failed to benefit the people at the bottom, which naturally leads to the loss of the world with leniency in the end.

Fan Zhuoyuan rode on horseback and watched the collision of various Chinese and Western commodities, people, and cultures in the Yuan Dadu, and inevitably had a lot of ideas.

That's about why the Song Dynasty perished in the Yuan.

After the destruction of the Jin Dynasty by the Mongol Yuan, it absorbed the Central Plains tradition of the Han land in the north, and integrated the Arab civilization of Central and Western Asia through the westward expedition, and it has surpassed the Southern Song Dynasty in engineering and natural science and technology.

Coupled with the bloodthirstiness of the nomads themselves and their more efficient military organization capabilities, and the Southern Song Dynasty was still restricting the internal military generals, commanding the overall strategy with civilian officials, and the abundant martial virtues of the people could not be brought into play, how could they not be defeated?

When Fan Zhuoyuan was thinking, Yuxi Timur reminded him that he had come to the imperial city, and a eunuch envoy came to greet him.

Soon, he will meet this generation of male lords who will be called Yuan Shizu by later generations.

The imperial palace of Yuan Dadu was inherited from the former Jin Kingdom, and later expanded and decorated, which was more magnificent than the previous dynasty.

Kublai Khan himself was by no means a frugal man, and the carved railings and jade bricks in the palace and the eaves and arches were all uniquely decorated.

Because the original design of the palace layout included craftsmen from West Asia, there are many Arabic decorations throughout the imperial city, which is quite exotic.

The main body of the imperial palace is not based on the axis of Ouchi Miyagi, but is centered on the Taiye Pond, and is surrounded by three palaces, Ouchi, Longfu Palace, and Xingsheng Palace, which reflects the characteristics of the Mongols who "live by water".

Fan Zhuoyuan, Yuxi Timur and the family of Emperor Guishan as a gift, under the leadership of the eunuchs, passed through the Chongtian Gate, the main gate of the Great Inner Palace, and entered the Daming Hall of the main hall of the Great Inner Palace.

Emperor Kameyama's family had never seen such a luxurious place, and they had long been stunned.

Fan Zhuoyuan was stunned for a moment, and the eunuch who led the way in front turned back triumphantly and said, "Is the general amazed by the wealth of the imperial city of this dynasty?" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said: "It's really rich in the world!" ”

"Hehe, some time ago, there was an adventurer from the far west, called a pineapple, and he was so excited to see this scene that he knelt down and kissed the ground."

Fan Zhuoyuan said in his heart: That must be Marco Polo, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, this guy should still be in Yuan Dadu at this time.

The eunuch looked at Fan Zhuoyuan wearing armor all over his body, and said strangely: "Why doesn't the general change his military general's regular clothes?" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said lightly: "When I fought in Japan, my regular clothes were torn, so I could only bring armor to see it in order not to be rude in front of Your Majesty." ”

Yuxi Timur glanced at Fan Zhuoyuan, he had put forward his opinion when he was on the road, but he received the official uniform from the Ministry of Rites first, but Fan Zhuoyuan refused.

The eunuch frowned slightly, and led the two to the Daming Palace, at which time the military generals had gathered in the court.

If it is according to the usual etiquette, the generals who return to the capital with the merit of destroying the country, the emperor will often lead his ministers to meet them outside the city.

And now in the face of Fan Zhuoyuan, they are not even interested in welcoming each other outside the palace, obviously because Fan Zhuoyuan was born in the Southern Dynasty, and the etiquette level will naturally be weakened a lot.

Etiquette is the same, not to mention the post-war merit.

Fan Zhuoyuan and Yuxi Timur were led to His Majesty, Kublai Khan was wearing a dragon robe, but the big horse golden sword sat on it, staring at Fan Zhuoyuan with blazing eyes, seeing that his figure was far from abnormal, he was quite surprised, nodded slightly, and gave birth to a little appreciation.

Although this person is familiar with the classics of China and the West, and has the knowledge of the two major civilizations, his essence is still inseparable from the nomadic rule, and he has no scruples in etiquette.

After the ministers in the palace saw Fan Zhuoyuan, they couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, I am afraid that they will search for Dayuan, and they will not find a second person who can compare with him in terms of height.

After seeing Kublai Khan, Timur immediately knelt and bowed, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and recited blessings and prayers.

Emperor Kameyama's family knelt on the ground, trembling all over their bodies, and they didn't dare to speak.

Fan Zhuoyuan stood next to him, but he bowed and bowed, reciting the same words of prayer as Yuxi Timur.

He performed the old Song and Han rites, not the tail wagging and begging of the nomadic slaves to their masters.

Seeing this move, all the ministers present frowned, and Kublai Khan's admiring eyes appeared a touch of gloom, and then retracted.

At this time, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood up, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Fan Zhuoyuan is rude, please cure this person for the crime of dereliction of honor in front of the king!" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan stood calmly and proudly as if he hadn't heard it, looking at Kublai Khan's eyes.

Kublai Khan raised his hand slightly, although Fan Zhuoyuan was a general of the Southern Dynasty, but after all, he had the merit of destroying the country, and before he was rewarded for his merits, he would be punished first, and the impact of this move would inevitably be bad.

However, he also felt the unruliness of the generals in front of him, and he was afraid that if he came wearing such armor, he would not want to bow down.

"General Fan is in full armor, so naturally he can't do all the courtesy, this is a small section, and there is no need to discuss it in detail."

Hearing the emperor say this, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites glanced at Fan Zhuoyuan, snorted coldly, and retreated.

Fang Cai's impeachment can be regarded as a dismount, in fact, this is also the attitude of the Menghan Huihu in the palace towards the warriors of the Southern Dynasty.

After that, in accordance with the fixed process of the DPRK and China, the process of sacrificing prisoners and boasting merits was carried out.

The first to be presented was the head of the shogunate who had killed dozens of envoys of the Great Yuan, Hojo Tokimune, and then his family.

Kublai Khan did not show his bearing as a son of heaven here, but ordered that his crime be pronounced at the entrance of the vegetable market on the same day, and that he be beheaded in public to exterminate his clan.

This decision frightened the Emperor Kameyama and his family at the scene, almost collapsing over, and a sense of sadness arose for the rabbit and the fox.

The next step was to present Emperor Kameyama, the nominal head of Japan, and others, but of course at this time they had been deprived of the name of emperor and were only addressed as the lord of the country.

For these, Kublai Khan only ordered Honglu Temple to arrange a residence, follow the rites of the vassal king, and receive a certain amount of money every month to support him, so that he would not think about returning to Japan again in this life.

In the future, during the New Year's holidays, you have to conceive a program and dance to entertain the king's ministers.

Finally, Fan Zhuoyuan told the whole process of the Japanese war in public, in order to boast about his martial arts.

Fan Zhuoyuan was boring, only from the storm deviation and forced to land in Hyuga, less than a stick of incense, he briefly described the entire process of cutting the sun.

Everyone only thought it was very simple, as if they could easily make such a contribution to destroy the country if they had changed themselves.
