Genghis Khan was a practitioner of meritocracy.
 According to The Secret History of the Mongols, Genghis Khan fell from his horse while hunting and died because of the injury
 Genghis Khan also recognized the need for administrators to govern cities and states conquered by him, and so invited a Khitan prince, Chu'Tsai, who had experience governing cities and worked for the Jin dynasty before being captured by the Mongol army
