遂改更庶政：命皇弟忽必烈領治蒙古、漢地民戶； He then reorganized the government: his brother Kublai was put in charge of Mongol and Han households;

秋七月，命忽必烈征大理，諸王禿兒花、撒立征身毒，怯的不花征沒裏奚，旭烈征西域素丹諸國。 In the seventh month of autumn Kublai was ordered against Dali; Princes Törel and Sali against Sind; Qutuq Buqa against the Merkit; and Hulagu against the sultanates of the west.

八月，忽必烈次臨洮，命總帥汪田哥以城利州聞，欲為取蜀之計。 In the eighth month Kublai halted at Lintao and ordered the commander Wang Tiange to hold Lizhou as the first step toward taking Shu.

忽必烈還自大理，留兀良合台攻諸夷之未附者，入覲於獵所。 Kublai returned from Dali, left Uriyangqadai to subdue the tribes still holding out, and came to the hunt to pay homage.

忽必烈遣沒兒合石詣行在所，奏請續簽內郡漢軍，從之。 Kublai dispatched Mör-gechi to the mobile court to ask for further conscription of Han troops from the interior circuits, and the petition was approved.

及世祖平宋，疆理混一，由是簡除繁苛，始定新律，頒之有司，號曰《至元新格》。 After Kublai conquered the Song and unified the realm, redundant and oppressive provisions were cut away, a new code was drawn up, and issued to the bureaucracy under the title Regulations of the Zhiyuan Era.

凡詔制為條九十有四，條格為條一千一百五十有一，斷例為條七百十有七，大概纂集世祖以來法制事例而已。 It contains ninety-four articles of edicts and institutions, 1,151 regulatory articles, and 717 adjudicated precedents—essentially a digest of legal practice from Kublai's reign onward.

世祖謂宰臣曰：「朕或怒，有罪者使汝殺，汝勿殺，必遲回一二日乃覆奏。」 Kublai told his ministers: "When I am angry and tell you to execute a criminal, do not obey at once—wait a day or two, then report back to me."

諸各寺院稅糧，除前宋所有常住及世祖所賜田土免納稅糧外，已後諸人布施並己力典買者，依例納糧。 Monastery lands are taxed except for former Song endowments and fields granted by Kublai; later donations and purchased lands pay tax as usual.

睿宗顯懿莊聖皇后，名唆魯和帖尼，怯烈氏，生子憲宗、世祖，相繼為帝。 Empress Xianyi Zhuang Sheng of Emperor Ruizong Tolui was named Sorghaghtani Beki of the Kereit. She bore Möngke and Kublai, each of whom in turn became emperor.

先是世祖出田獵，道渴，至一帳房，見一女子緝駝茸，世祖從覓馬湩。 Earlier, when Kublai went out hunting, he grew thirsty on the road, came to a tent, and saw a girl sewing camel hair. He asked her for kumiss.

世祖欲去之。 Kublai was about to leave.

出馬湩飲世祖。 They brought out kumiss for Kublai to drink.

世祖既去，嘆息曰：「得此等女子為人家婦，豈不美耶！」 After Kublai had gone, he sighed and said, "To obtain a girl like this as a wife for one's household — would it not be fine!"

后與諸臣謀擇太子妃，世祖俱不允。 Later the empress and the ministers deliberated on choosing a crown princess, but Kublai would not approve any of them.

有一老臣嘗知向者之言，知其未許嫁，言於世祖。 An old minister had once heard what Kublai had said. Knowing that the girl was not yet betrothed, he spoke of it to Kublai.

世祖大喜，納為太子妃。 Kublai was greatly pleased and took her in as crown princess.

后性孝謹，善事中宮，世祖每稱之為賢德媳婦。 The consort was by nature filial and careful and good at serving the inner palace. Kublai always called her a worthy and virtuous daughter-in-law.

一日，裕宗有病，世祖往視，見床上設織金臥褥。 One day Zhenjin was ill. Kublai went to visit and saw a brocaded gold sleeping mat on the bed.

世祖慍而語之曰：「我嘗以汝為賢，何乃若此耶？」 Kublai grew angry and said to her, "I once regarded you as worthy. How can you be like this?"

世祖崩，成宗至上都，諸王畢會。 When Kublai died, Temür arrived at Shangdu and all the princes assembled.

裕宗居燕邸及潮河，順宗俱在侍，稍長，世祖賜女侍郭氏，後乃納后為妃，生武宗及仁宗。 When Zhenjin resided at the Yan residence and at Chaohe, Darmabala was always in attendance. When he grew somewhat older, Kublai granted him the attendant Guo, and later he took Daji as consort. She bore Külüg Khan and Ayurbarwada, who became Emperors Wuzong and Renzong.

又從世祖南涉淮甸，下大清口，獲船百餘艘。 He also followed Kublai south across the Huai region, seized Daqingkou, and captured more than a hundred ships.

二十四年，乃顏叛，從帝親征，以功封濟寧郡王，賜白傘蓋以寵之。 In the twenty-fourth year, when Nayan rebelled, he joined the emperor's personal campaign, was enfeoffed as Prince of Jining Commandery for his merit, and granted a white parasol canopy.

帝賜名按答兒禿那顏，以旌其功。 The emperor granted him the name Anchadartu Noyan to honor his achievement.

自幼奉世皇旨，養于斡可珍公主所，是為不只兒駙馬，後襲統其本部民四百戶。 From childhood, by Kublai's order, he was raised in Princess Wokezhen's household and became the consort Bozhuer; later he inherited four hundred households of his tribe's people.

至世祖時，有昭「弘吉剌萬戶所受驛券、圓符皆仍其舊，凡唆兒火都所受者，宜皆收之」，而唆兒火都之諸孫若孛羅沙、伯顏、蠻子、添壽不花、大都不花、掌吉等，及阿哈千戶之孫曰也速達兒與按陳之弟名冊者，在太祖世授官本藩蒙古軍站千戶。 Under Kublai an edict declared: "The Hongjila chiliarch's relay vouchers and round tallies shall remain unchanged; Suo'erhuodu's shall be revoked." Suo'erhuodu's grandsons—including Boruosha, Bayan, Manzi, Tianshoubuhua, Dadubuhua, and Zhangji—as well as Aha's grandson Yesuda'er and Anchannayan's younger brother Ce had all been commissioned in Genghis Khan's time as chiliarchs of Mongol relay stations within their hereditary fief.

有脫憐者，亦按陳之裔孫也，世祖授本藩千戶，仍賜驛券、圓符各四，令以兵守朔土之怯魯連。 There was Tuolian, another descendant of Anchannayan. Kublai made him commander of a thousand households in his hereditary fief, granted four relay vouchers and four round tallies, and ordered him to garrison Qielulian on the northern frontier.

有答兒罕者，亦特薛禪之裔孫也，以從軍功，世祖亦賜以拔都兒之號，加賜黃金一鋌。 Daerhan, another descendant of Texuechan, won military honors and received the Batuur title from Kublai along with an extra gold ingot.

世祖昭睿順聖皇后諱察必，濟寧忠武王按陳之女； Kublai's Sagacious and Farsighted Virtuous Sacred Empress Chabi was the daughter of Anchannayan, loyal and martial King of Jining;

後脫黑帖木兒叛，世祖命忽憐與失列及等討之，大戰終日，脫黑帖木兒敗走，帝嘉之，復令尚憲宗孫女不蘭奚公主。 Later, when Tuheitie'muer rebelled, Kublai ordered Hulian and Shilieji to suppress him. After a full day of fighting Tuheitie'muer fled. The emperor praised Hulian and gave him Möngke's granddaughter Princess Bulanxi in marriage.

乃顏、聲剌哈兒叛，世祖新征，薛徹堅等與哈答罕屢戰，帝召忽憐至。 When Nayan and Shenglaha'er rebelled, Kublai was on campaign. Xuechejian and others fought repeatedly with Hadahan, and the emperor summoned Hulian.

逾年夏，帝命忽憐復征之。 The following summer the emperor ordered Hulian to campaign against them again.

帝賜鈔五萬貫、金一鋌、銀十鋌。 The emperor rewarded him with fifty thousand strings of paper money, one gold ingot, and ten silver ingots.

忽憐從弟不花，尚世祖女兀魯真公主； Hulian's cousin Buhua married Kublai's daughter Princess Wuluzhen;

愛不花，尚世祖季女月烈公主。 Aibuhua married Kublai's youngest daughter Princess Yuelie.

詔賜世祖所服貂裘、寶鞍，及繒錦七百、介胄、戈戟、弓矢等物。 He was granted Kublai's own sable coat and precious saddle, seven hundred pieces of brocade silk, armor, halberds, bows, arrows, and other equipment.

乙未，憲宗崩，阿里不哥叛，鑄棄妻子，挺身自朔方來歸，世祖嘉其忠，即日召見，賞賜優厚。 In the yiwei year, when Emperor Xianzong died and Ariq Böke rebelled, Zhu abandoned his family and came alone from the north to submit; Kublai praised his loyalty, received him that day, and rewarded him generously.

初，世祖伐宋軍于汴，南合進曰：「李璮承國厚恩，坐制一方，然其人多詐，叛無日矣。」 Earlier, when Kublai campaigned against Song at Bian, Nanhe said, "Li Tan has received great favor from the state and holds a region on his own, yet he is deeply deceitful—rebellion is only a matter of time."

帝亦患之。 The emperor was troubled too.

其年，李璮反益都，帝使諭南合曰：「卿言猶在耳，璮果反矣。 That year Li Tan rebelled at Yidu; the emperor sent word to Nanhe, "Your warning is still in my ears—Tan has rebelled as you said.

對曰：「臣謹受詔，不敢以西鄙為陛下憂。」 He replied, "I accept the edict and will not trouble Your Majesty over the western marches."

憲宗即位，世祖以太弟鎮金蓮川，得開府，專封拜。 When Emperor Xianzong ascended, Kublai as senior imperial brother garrisoned Jinlianchuan with authority to open his own office and make appointments independently.

歲己未，世祖總統東師，奏惟中為江淮京湖南北路宣撫使，俾建行台，以先啟行，宣布恩信，蒙古、漢軍諸帥並聽節制。 In the jiwei year Kublai commanded the eastern army and appointed Weizhong pacification commissioner of the Jianghuai and Jinghu circuits, with authority to establish a traveling office, advance ahead to proclaim imperial grace, and command all Mongol and Han generals.

書上，朝廷不強致，帝聞之，亦曰：「古有所謂不召之臣，其斯人之徒歟！」 When the letter was submitted, the court did not press him further. When the Emperor heard of it, he said, "Of old there were the so-called ministers who would not come when summoned—is this such a man?"
