Zhen Jin was very vague in Zhao Bing's memory of his previous life. It was just because he mentioned in an interesting article about the frightened emperor that he was scared to death by his father before he succeeded to the throne. Therefore, Zhen Jin had such a cowardly impression in his mind. But when he came to this world, Zhen Jin, as the heir to the throne, naturally entered his sight, and he also found that this child was not a simple person.
Kublai Khan had more than ten sons, and his eldest son died early, so he regarded Zhen Jin as his eldest son. He was born to Empress Chabi, and he was also a legitimate son. If he was in the Central Plains dynasty, he would be a natural successor, but it would not be necessary in Mongolia. He had a good life. Kublai Khan, who had not inherited the throne of Khan at that time, was fighting fiercely with a group of Han Confucians. At that time, he was in charge of the Han affairs in the southern part of the desert and collected a large number of Han Confucian scholars.
Kublai Khan gave the education of the real gold to the Han Confucian Yao Shu, and ordered his descendants of the great ministers to study as a companion. Yao Shu and others used the Three Bonds and Five Constant Rebellion to cultivate virtue and used the "Book of Filial Piety" as the enlightenment textbook to teach the real gold. Later, Yao Shu followed him to Dali, and changed his mission to Dou Mo to take over as a teacher. He also appointed Liu Bingzhong's disciple Wang Xun as a companion to study as a companion to study as a master. Wang Xun served the real gold for a long time, often instilled the way of learning and the principles of conserving chaos in the past dynasties.
The year after Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he appointed the 17-year-old Zhen Jin as the King of Yan and led the affairs of the Secretariat. In the fourth year of the Central Committee, the Privy Council was established, and the True Gold was used to defend the Secretariat Order and also sentenced the affairs of the Secretariat Order. But in fact, the True Gold only came to the Secretariat Order twice a month, and the affairs of the Secretariat and the Privy Council were handed over to Wang Xun. This shows how deeply influenced by the Han Confucians when they were young and that they had full trust in them.
People are selfish. After Kublai Khan defeated Alibuge and gained the rule of Mongolia, he wanted to reform the traditional Khan throne of the Khan throne, Kulitaire Congress, in order to ensure that the Khan throne will always come from his own family forever. So, Yao Shu, Zhang Xiongfei and other Han ministers who understood the gods suggested "establishing the Crown Chief Deputy to redeem the throne" and "establishing the Crown Chief Second", that is, adopting the traditional eldest son inheritance system of the Central Plains dynasty to ensure the inheritance of the Khan throne. Kublai Khan finally adopted the Han minister's suggestion.
In February of the 10th year of Zhiyuan, Kublai Khan issued an edict to establish his eldest son Zhen Jin as the crown prince; on March 13, he sent Boyan to teach the jade book and gold treasure, and held a ceremony to enthrone. Although the book claimed that the enthronement of the crown prince was a legacy of Genghis Khan, it was actually a major change in the inheritance system of the Mongolian Khan throne and was also a major achievement of Kublai Khan's adoption of the Han law. In September of the same year, Kublai Khan established the "Prefecture of the Palace" for Zhen Jin, and selected Confucian ministers as officials. Since Zhen Jin has been exposed to Han culture since he was a child, his political future was closely related to the Han Confucian ministers, which laid the foundation for his firm support for the Han law in the future.
After pacifying Jiangnan, Kublai Khan's interest in Han law was decreasing, and he turned to reuse Hui Hui people Ahema to manage finances. In addition, Liu Bingzhong, Shi Tianze, Zhao Bi and other important Han officials died one after another, and the status of Han officials was reduced and they were unable to compete. Therefore, the Han officials placed their hopes on completing the task of escorting Basiba to Tibet. They just returned to Dadu. They colluded with Taoist priest Li Jushou to instruct him to take advantage of the opportunity to dip them in the vegetarian state and suggested to Kublai Khan that the prince would participate in the government affairs. At the same time, Dong Wenzhong also advised him.
This matter is in accordance with the will of heaven and the wishes of the people. Kublai Khan naturally obeyed his statement. From then on, Zhen Jin began to participate in the government affairs. All matters of the Secretariat, the Privy Council, the Censorate and the hundreds of departments were reported to Kublai Khan first and then reported to him. After Zhen Jin came to power, he became the leader of the Han legal faction and formed a sharp confrontation with the financial management faction led by Ahma. In the 17th year of Zhiyuan, someone suggested that Xie Changyuan, the Minister of Rites who was born in the Southern People, suggested that the establishment of a Menxia Province was to refute the imperial edict. Zhen Jin knew that this was in line with Kublai Khan's idea of ​​prosecuting his subordinates to prevent treason and deceive, so he approved the report and intended to make Weiwuer's Confucian minister Lian Xixian as the subordinate minister.
However, due to the obstruction of Ahma and the disagreement of opinions within the Han ministers, the plan to establish Menxia Province was soon miscarried. Soon, Lian Xixian was seriously ill and Zhen Jin sent Yang Jiding to visit him. Lian Xixian's last words eliminated the "major misleading the country and harming the people", which implied to get rid of Ahma. In December of that year, Cui Bin, the left prime minister of the Jianghuai Province, impeached Ahma's party of greed and abused and was persecuted to death by Ahma. Zhen Jin was having a meal in the palace. After hearing the news, he threw down his chopsticks and was very sad and hurriedly sent someone to stop him. As a result, Cui Bin was already dead.
Zhao Bing thought that this incident led to the secret confrontation between the Yuan Dynasty's financial management sect and the Confucian ministers turning into a life-and-death battle, which triggered the assassination of Ahama. In March of the 19th year of Zhiyuan, Ahama was assassinated by the Han king and monk Gao. Although Zhen Jin was in Shangdu with Kublai Khan at that time, he believed that Zhen Jin was still related. After all, Ahama was the minister whom Kublai Khan trusted the most. Even if Zhen Jin did not explicitly punish him, he would have acquiesced to the assassination operation. Otherwise, who would dare to kill Ahama with a hammer in front of all the ministers!
Afterwards, Kublai Khan was furious and executed Wang Zhu, monk Gao and Zhang Yi, the deputy envoy of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, who was left behind in Dadu. After Ahma's death, Zhen Jin recommended Heli Huosun, who supported Han law, to serve as the right prime minister, and told him to boldly reform the court system and serve as his backing. At the same time, he used a large number of Han Confucians as backing. The Secretariat of the Secretariat used He Wei as the senator, Xu Yan as the ward of the Left Secretary, and summoned Yang Renfeng from Luzhou and Ma Shao from Dongping, and appointed Yang Gongyi to the Secretariat of the Secretariat to discuss matters. He ordered Wei Hui general manager Dong Wenyong to practice official politics and transferred to the Secretariat of the Secretariat together with Yang Gongyi.
Zhao Bing has always resisted the teachings of the Confucian scholars because he was worried that he would be "traumatized" by them, because he understood the principle that scholars could not rebel for ten years. These scholars were passionate and responsible in their work. However, they were too idealistic and often acted unrealistic and extreme, and they were either white or black in their eyes. But they were hesitant at critical moments, resulting in missing opportunities.
During this period, Empress Chabi died of illness. Kublai Khan fell into depression, drunk excessively, and was exhausted from government affairs. It was said that it was their Confucian and Legal faction who took the opportunity to cultivate their strength and make money in silence. In fact, what did the real gold do? With his care and support, everyone, Helihuo Sun, mainly completed several major tasks: First, investigate and punish Ah Hema's crimes, and confiscate Ah Hema's family wealth; Second, use old Han officials to appoint old officials; Third, improve the administration.
Seeing that he did this, Zhao Bing was anxious for Zhen Jin. Ahama was dead, so why should he rush to "whip the corpse"? Do you want to prove that he is right or want to prove that Ahama was wrong? Although he had confiscated some wealth, Kublai Khan also cut Ahama out of his grave and chopped it up and fed it to the dog, he had lost his political score. He analyzed that Kublai Khan was so angry that he was mostly not because he was angry that he was blind, but because he blamed his son for being too ignorant, so he used this to vent his anger and expressed his dissatisfaction.
In addition, Zhao Bing believed that real gold could not distinguish between the severity of doing things. Although using the pretext of rectifying the administration of Han officials as an excuse to appoint Han officials was also a measure to cultivate the team, it was too early and would only trigger his confrontation with the old Mongolian ministers. These people were all real power factions with outstanding achievements and military power, and had the right to speak for whether they could succeed to the throne. Therefore, before ascending the throne, what they had to do was not offend them, but to take it for themselves to use it so that they could successfully inherit the Khan throne.
The most important thing for the real gold to ignore Kublai Khan was to solve financial difficulties. Therefore, after the real gold defeated Ahhama, the primary task at that time should be to "make money". However, the real gold did not do that, but instead used the so-called "benevolent government" by the Han ministers, which made him fulfill his benevolent reputation, but ignored Kublai Khan's ideas. The result was that he could think of anything with his feet. A son who could not understand his intentions and had different political views was not a good heir.
It would be fine if Zhenjin was short-sighted in politics, but the most outrageous thing was that he misjudged the situation. He valued his identity as a prince too much, but he never thought that he would not inherit the Khan throne for a day, so he would still be just a pawn. Even if he had already participated in the government, he would have no power to control the government. The power was finally in the hands of the shrewd and arbitrary father, and the power could be deprived of the power given to him at any time, which also led to him making repeated mistakes.
Just last year, while Zhen Jin was constantly promoting the policy of sinicization, he also asked Mongolian students to learn Chinese, and did not agree with him only studying Mongolian language. He passed the Helihuo Sun request to open the imperial examination in October, but it was not successful. But Kublai Khan was obsessed with the financial management school and was disappointed with him. In November, he appointed Han businessman Lu Shirong to manage finances. At the same time, the new Queen Nanbi of the Zhenggong showed signs of interfering in politics, which was dissatisfied with the Han ministers.
After discovering that he had signs of falling out of favor, Zhao Bing felt that even if he did not support what he had to do in this situation, he could not blatantly oppose Kublai Khan's decision. Instead, he should take advantage of the opportunity that Lu Shirong's financial management policy caused dissatisfaction among the powerful and powerful, divert himself from the conflict between the former Mongolian ministers and the Khan, and wait for them to fight to the death, and then reap profits and reverse the unfavorable situation in the court. Queen Nanbi had no descendants, and he was just trying to find a way out for himself. What the real gold should do is to make good friends with him and get his support, but not to be in a hurry to fight him.
But a group of fools cultivated a arrogant fool. Under such circumstances, not only did they not take the opportunity to avoid it, but instead pushed themselves to the forefront. It seemed that only in this way could they reflect their role as a 'leader'. Less than ten days after Lu Shirong took office, the chief censor Cui said that Lu Shirong should not be a prime minister, and then was dismissed by Kublai Khan for disobeying the order. A discerning person could tell at a glance that the Khan meant to tell everyone that Lu Shirong was my guardian, and you can't help him.
Zhen Jin did not agree with it but showed his presence. He also pointed out Lu Shirong's policy of "making progress through words" from the perspective of Confucianism, saying: "Money is not born from heaven, how can you win every year? I am afraid that the people will be blessed and exhausted. It is not only harmful to the people, but it is a big worm for the country. He may think that he was right and had good intentions, but he did not consider Kublai Khan's mood. The officials he personally selected and implemented policies, but what would his son think about the lead in opposing it?
Seeing that his speech did not attract Kublai Khan's attention, Zhen Jin instructed his confidant, the censor Chen Tianyang to impeach Lu Shirong for his past corruption and bad deeds. After taking office, most of the followers were ineffective, so he suggested to be dismissed. However, Lu Shirong refused to sit and wait for death. He frequently reported the obstacles he suffered in the reform and reported the case of Zhen Jin in disguise. Kublai Khan expressed his support and told him that he knew and followed the things he reported. When things developed to this point, smart people should see Kublai Khan's intentions and should have stopped in time to avoid arousing suspicion from the Khan. However, Zhen Jin warned him of nothing and continued to accuse Lu Shirong.
As the saying goes, if you are anxious, you will jump over the wall. Lu Shirong, who was forced into the corner of the wall by real gold, launched a counterattack. After Lu Shirong's re-appointment, Ahma's remnant, found a great opportunity to destroy the crown prince's real gold. Before this, the Nantai Censor once Fengzhang said: "The emperor is tall in spring and autumn, and it is better to abdicate the crown prince. The queen should not make any decisions outside." Zhenjin knew that Kublai Khan was unwilling to abdicate, and was very scared after hearing this. He instructed the Censor to secretly not publish his seal. Shangwen, who was the capital, secretly concealed the memorial, but this matter had been learned by Ahma's resignation, Gu Ahma's resignation and others.
Lu Shirong asked Kublai Khan to collect the case of hundreds of officials from inside and outside the country, which was called "Dasuo Tiantian buried money and grain". In order to expose this memorial, he detained the case of the Censorate and the officials of the Censorate to obtain this memorial. Shangwen knew that the relationship was important, so he asked him to approve the right prime minister Antong and the Censor Yuxi Timur, but refused to pay it. The answer was Gu Ashan who reported to Kublai Khan. Thinking about someone who wanted to usurp the throne, could Kublai Khan not get angry? He immediately ordered the chief Xue Chi to ask for the memorial. After learning about this, Zhen Jin knew that he was afraid, but he had no idea at the critical moment...
Zhao Bing has only this news now. He is relieved now. Kublai Khan is already in a desperate situation. If he is irritated in anger, wouldn't it be in line with his own wishes? In such a situation, it is hard to say whether the real gold can succeed to the throne. By then, his own forces will be a mess and his chance will come. Even if the real gold can succeed to the throne, his ability and prestige will be a thousand miles worse than that of Kublai Khan, and such an opponent is not afraid.
Another possibility is that Kublai Khan was not dead, but the real gold was scared to death first. Zhao Bing believed that Kublai Khan, who was hit even though he was hit, would not live for a few more days. Even if he appointed his heir again on his dying occasion, he would probably be able to come to power smoothly and control the government overnight. It would also leave Zhao Bing with an opportunity to take advantage of it.
