Emperor Renzong of Yuan (Ayurbarwada)

Timeline

1. 1301–1306Dadu · Yuan DaduFrom 1301 to 1306 Ayurbarwada was active at Dadu and in Chinese-administered lands as an imperial prince, growing close to Confucian officials and familiar with Chinese administration. In the late Chengzong reign he and his brother Khayishan were both strong contenders for the throne; his Chinese political resources and Confucian networks became key leverage in the later succession struggle.
2. 1307–1310Dadu · Yuan DaduAfter Wuzong acceded in 1307, Ayurbarwada was made crown prince, the brothers agreeing that the younger brother would succeed the elder. From 1307 to 1310 he took part in court affairs as heir, kept his distance from Wuzong's radical fiscal policies, and rallied veteran ministers such as Haqasun and Confucian officials, laying the groundwork for a smooth succession in 1311.
