On August 5th in the third year of Zhizhi (1323 A.D.), the Nanpo Rebellion occurred in the Yuan Dynasty. Tie Shi, the imperial historian, killed Yingzong, and Tie Mu'er, the king of Jin, was welcomed into Dadu.Thus, Yesun Tiemu'er became the sixth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, Emperor Taiding.

Tie Shi's group chose Yesun Tieji mainly because of their hatred of Yingzong's New Deal.Yesun Timur, who was stationed in Mobei, was the most powerful leader of the military nomadic nobles among the Mongolian kings.

Tie Shi, Yexian Tiemu'er and others relied on their great achievements and acted recklessly, increasing their authority.Emperor Zongwang Mai Numi Chen Taiding said: "Yexian Tiemu'er and others conspired against each other and killed the former emperor together. The reason why I greet you with a seal is because I am afraid that your majesty will ask you to punish me. It is better to kill the rebellious party and punish the traitors." Yesun Tiemu'er immediately sent the guards of the Jin residence to kill Yexian Tiemu'er, Wanzhe, Suonan, Tuman and others.Xu Maijie was changed to be the right prime minister of Zhongshu, Tu Hulu, the left prime minister of Shaanxi Xingzhongshu, and Niuze, the envoy of Tongzhengyuan, were also appointed as Yushi doctor.They also sent Xu Maijie and Niu Ze to Dadu to search for the rebellious party.

In November of the same year, Yesun Timur arrived in Dadu.In December, Yesun Tiemuer once again purged the remnants of the Tieshi party: executed Yuelu, Tutuha, Hadun and others; , Qulu is not spent in Nuergan, Polo and Ulus are not spent in Haidao. Yesun Tiemu'er crossed the river and demolished bridges to kill rebels. His purpose was to cleanse and express himself, while maintaining the legitimacy of his imperial power and the legitimacy of his succession, thereby consolidating his own ruling position. After Yesun Tiemu'er came to the throne, he successively respected the emperor Kaojin King, posthumously called Guangsheng Renkao Emperor, and his temple name was Xianzong.Empress Concubine Jin and Concubine Xuanyi Shusheng Empress.The posthumous posthumous posthumous title of Emperor Shuode Baci was Ruisheng Wenxiao Emperor, and his temple name was Yingzong.And change the yuan to Taiding.

At the beginning of Taiding, all the officials of the imperial court handled official affairs according to the old system of the ancestors. Emperor Taiding ordered to print and distribute the "Liesheng Zhizhao" and "Dayuan Tongzhi" to all officials for study. Although he was not as active as Yingzong in promoting Han law, he still However, the Confucian officials of the old dynasty were still employed, and many achievements of the New Deal, such as the "Service Assistance Law", were inherited.

In February of the first year of Taiding (AD 1324), Zhao Jian, Zuo Cheng of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, wrote a letter requesting to open a sutra feast and choose a master.Emperor Taiding then ordered Zhang Gui, the political affairs officer of Pingzhang, Kudu Lu Huer lost, Wu Cheng, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and Deng Wenyuan, a direct scholar of Jixian, to give lectures with books such as Emperor Fan and Daxue Yanyi. In order to prevent the succession dispute after his death, Emperor Taiding appointed his 5-year-old son Asojiba as the crown prince in March of the first year of Taiding, and designated Hongjirashi Babahan as the queen.He also adopted the suggestions of Zhongshu Pingzhang Zhengshi Tumandieer and others, visited everywhere to seek fame as Confucianism, and taught and assisted the prince.

However, Emperor Taiding believed in Buddhism.He ordered the monks to practice Buddhism many times.Every time they do Buddhist work, tens of thousands of monks gather in one place, and Emperor Taiding rewards them greatly, and orders them to build Buddhist temples and cast golden statues, costing hundreds of millions.

He believed that promoting Buddhism could avoid disasters and prevent disasters and pray for success.He ordered Zong Wang, who guarded the border in the north of Lingbei, to be completely bald, and to practice Buddhist rituals once a month to prevent foreign invasion.The monks were also asked to do Buddhist things in the main hall to suppress the thunder.He specially invited Western monks to lecture on the Xifan Sutra in Guangtian Hall, and let 800 monks and disciples visit the capital together with monks and emperors.All the monks also have their own names, and they wear gold and jade. They are full of arrogance and do everything, becoming a big social nuisance.

Emperor Taiding took very strict precautions against the Han people. The Yuan court stipulated that the Han people were not allowed to hide and carry weapons. Those who had military registration would be given weapons when they went out to fight, and they would return them immediately after returning.In order to stabilize the throne, Emperor Taiding also stipulated that kings from other places who entered Beijing privately would not be used by them. If they brought soldiers from the guards to Beijing privately, they would be punished. Although Emperor Taiding had sporadic achievements in governance, he himself could not accept advice from the virtuous.Zhongshu Pingzhang Zhengshi Zhang Gui and others jointly signed a memorandum, listing the gains and losses of current politics, pointing out the harm of worshiping Buddha to the common people, the disadvantages of excessive officials and other social problems.He ignored it.

Emperor Tai Ding missed the life in the north very much. He ordered the king of Xi'an, Alatina Shili, and the secretary of the Privy Council, Yan Timur, to stay in the capital.He was in the palace, immersed in wine and sex all day long, and no longer interfered with the government.Due to alcoholism, lust, hunting and pleasure, Emperor Taiding contracted diseases, and finally died in the palace of Shangdu in July of the first year of Hehe (AD 1328). He was only 36 years old.He was buried in the Chariot Valley.Since the winner of the battle for the throne was the brothers Zhou Wang and Shi Wang Shu, he was not chased by a temple name, and he was known as "Emperor Taiding" in history.
