1210 CE

Genghis Khan insults Emperor Wanyan Yongji (known in traditional histories as Prince Shao of Wei) by publicly stating in 1210 that he is a coward and unfit to be a leader.

Genghis adds, "The emperor should be a man from sky like me."

Soon, news spreads to the Jin emperor through a Jin officer.

The Jin emperor is enraged and orders the execution of the Mongolian ambassador.
