Biography

孟速思,畏兀人。
元史卷一百二十四 列传第十一:
  孟速思,畏兀人,世居别失八里,古北庭都护之地。幼有奇质,年十五,尽通本国书。太祖闻之,召至阙下,一见大悦,曰:“此儿目中有火,它日可大用。”以授睿宗,使视显懿庄圣皇后分邑岁赋。复事世祖于潜藩,日见亲用。宪宗崩,孟速思言于世祖曰:“神器不可久旷,太祖嫡孙,唯王最长且贤,宜即皇帝位。”诸王塔察儿、也孙哥、合丹等,咸是其言。世祖即位,眷顾益重。南征时,与近臣不只儿为断事官。及诸王阿里不哥叛,相拒漠北,不只儿有二心,孟速思知之,奏徙之于中都,亲监护以往,帝以为忠。数命收召豪俊,凡所引荐,皆极其选。诏与安童并拜丞相,固辞。帝语安童及丞相伯颜、御史大夫月鲁那演等曰:“贤哉孟速思,求之彼族,诚为罕也。”孟速思为人刚严谨信。蚤居帷幄,谋议世莫得闻。至元四年卒,年六十有二。帝尤哀悼,特谥敏惠。武宗朝,赠推忠同德佐理功臣、太师、开府仪同三司、上柱国,追封武都王,改谥智敏。子九人,多至大官。
