Frost could almost be seen on Kublai Khan's face. No emperor would remain indifferent if he knew the time of his dynasty's demise.
What's more, it's such a short time.
"Call Prince Zhenjin and Ahama here, no! Call all the nobles and ministers here to see what Tianmu says." Kublai Khan loudly ordered the guards.
The Han-French school advocated the implementation of Confucianism, lightened corvée labor, restored agriculture, and implemented Han Chinese education. To put it bluntly, this was similar to the reforms of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The main representative of the Han-French school was Crown Prince Zhenjin, who studied under the Han scholar Yao Shu from a young age and was well-versed in Han classics.
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin nodded. He felt that no matter the dynasty, whoever became emperor would basically govern the country according to this routine. Judging from the introduction of the sky curtain, the Yuan Dynasty should not have fully implemented it.
That's why it was destroyed in less than a hundred years.
"Cheng Qian, you must also pay attention to these things when you become emperor, and give the people a rest." Li Shimin said, "You can't act recklessly, otherwise you will end up like the Yuan Dynasty."
"Yes, Father!"
The representative of the financial management school was the powerful official Ahama, a Seljuq. His teachings were much simpler: to continuously squeeze out wealth for the enjoyment of the Yuan Dynasty's nobles.
[They had always done this before entering the Central Plains. Even after entering the Central Plains, the Yuan Dynasty also implemented a tax farming system for a period of time.]
[It means entrusting the tax collection to someone, and as long as they collect enough money, they don't care about anything else.]
[They also believed that the people within the former Southern Song territory had hidden a large amount of wealth, and they had to find a way to find it.]
Daqin
Qin Shihuang felt that he was really eye-opening. There was such a court. His Great Qin had laws. How could it be possible to plunder the people's property?
No wonder he lived so short.

Liu Che felt that they were indeed barbarians. There was actually such a faction in the court. If this continued, the people would surely be filled with resentment, and uprisings would surely occur one after another.
Originally, the Han-French faction had the upper hand, but the degree of Sinicization in the Yuan Dynasty was still insufficient. The reason for this was that the representative figure of the Han-French faction, Prince Zhenjin, had passed away.
After the Han-French faction assassinated Ahama, Kublai Khan, who wanted to maintain a balance between the two sides, was somewhat displeased. Later, some ministers hoped that Kublai Khan would abdicate to Zhenjin.
This completely infuriated Kublai Khan. How could such a powerful emperor give up his power? Prince Zhenjin was unaware of this.
He then died of anxiety.
Although we don't know who submitted the memorial, we have reason to suspect it wasn't the work of the Han-French faction, but rather a counterattack by the Financial Management faction.
[The Han-French School is not necessarily composed of Han Chinese, and the Financial Management School is not devoid of Han Chinese.]
[One more thing to say: being the crown prince of famous emperors is not easy; few of them can complete their duties successfully.]

Prince Zhenjin had a dazed look on his face. He had not expected that this would be his fate. Judging from the information on the skylight, there might be spies from the Financial Management School within the Han-French School.
He didn't know who became the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty after his death.
Kublai Khan summoned Zhenjin to his side and sighed silently. He must have been angry at that time, but the prince did not need to worry, because they were father and son after all.
Kublai Khan also sought to assimilate into the Han culture in his early years, recruiting numerous Han scholars for this purpose. However, how did he ultimately maintain a balance between the two factions? The reason was simple: he also had to protect the interests of some of his own nobles.
[This is related to Kublai Khan's grandfather, Genghis Khan. After unifying the Mongolian grasslands, he led his cavalry on a westward expedition, conquering a large area of territory.]
Later, these territories were divided into four khanates, of which Kublai Khan was the ruler. After Kublai Khan had been sinicized for a period of time, the other three khanates used this as an excuse to organize armies to attack Kublai Khan.
