Buyantu Khan — Emperador Renzong de Yuan
Educado en los clásicos chinos y el más sinicizado de los gobernantes Yuan. En 1315 restauró los exámenes del servicio civil, que los mongoles habían suspendido desde la conquista — con cuotas que reservaban la mitad de los lugares para mongoles y sus aliados, pero restaurados no obstante.

“Brought back the examinations after a hundred and thirty years”
Educated in the Chinese classics and the most sinicised of the Yuan rulers. In 1315 he restored the civil service examinations, which the Mongols had suspended since the conquest — with quotas that reserved half the places for Mongols and their allies, but restored nonetheless.
He also had the great legal and agricultural compendia translated, and broke his brother's succession agreement in favor of his own son.
Empress Radnashiri, of the Khongirad, was his principal wife.
