Kublai Khan ended the civil service exam system primarily to consolidate power and ensure loyalty among his officials, as the exams favored the Confucian scholars of the Han Chinese elite. By replacing the exam system with appointments based on loyalty and merit rather than scholarly achievement, he aimed to strengthen Mongol rule and integrate diverse ethnic groups within the empire. This shift allowed for greater control over the administration and mitigated the influence of the traditional Chinese bureaucratic class.
