Timeline

  1. 1331–1332Dadu · DaduIn the later part of his second reign, Wenzong established the Kuizhang Pavilion Academy, compiled the Jingshi Dadian, posthumously enfeoffed Confucius and past Confucian officials, and personally performed the suburban sacrifice. However, real court power gradually fell to El Temür, and the Kuizhang Pavilion came under his control in early 1332.
  2. 1332Dadu · DaduWenzong died of illness in the eighth month of the third year of Zhishun, at the age of twenty-nine. On his deathbed he repented of killing his brother Mingzong and left an edict passing the throne to Mingzong's eldest son Toghon Temür. El Temür refused to obey the edict and instead enthroned Mingzong's young son Rinchinbal, sparking a new round of succession struggle.
