1328–1330Dadu · North ChinaAfter the Taiding Emperor's death in 1328, El Temür raised troops at Dadu to welcome Wenzong, directing battles such as the Battle of Zijing Pass to defeat Aragiba's faction at Shangdu; after plotting the poisoning of Emperor Mingzong (Küs Temür) in 1329, he monopolized court politics with the titles Recorder of Important Military and State Affairs and Prince of Taiping, dominating China from 1328 to 1330 and sharing control of military and civil affairs with Bayan.
