"Especially in the past twenty years, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty ignored the affairs of state and did obscene things with the concubines and palace maids in the Hehuan Palace every day."
"If I hadn't won a few battles outside, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive now."
"We Mongolians conquered the world on horseback, but look at yourselves now. Where is the trace of Mongolian in you?"
"The country has become so dilapidated, and in the end it still depends on a little woman like me to clean up the mess."
"I also want to be like her, a girl from an ordinary family, but who among you can replace me?"
"As a Mongolian, today you actually let women take the lead. Don't you feel ashamed?"
All the ministers in the court lowered their heads in shame.

This is not only for your present prosperity and wealth, but also for your future prosperity and wealth, as well as for your descendants."
"If we hold on to the land beneath our feet, the Mongols can enjoy a comfortable life for another hundred years..."
