元文宗——扎亚图汗
他赢得了1328年的继承权之战，邀请他的哥哥从中亚回来接任王位，在草原上与他相会，四天内让他去世。他随后作为学术的赞助人统治了四年，创建了文宗的星辰阁，并委托编纂了该朝伟大的制度汇编。
元文宗
“Had his own brother poisoned four days after handing him the throne”
He won the succession war of 1328, invited his elder brother back from Central Asia to take the throne, met him on the steppe, and had him dead within four days. He then reigned for four years as a patron of scholarship, founding the Pavilion of the Star of Literature and commissioning the great institutional compendium of the dynasty.
He spent his last years in remorse and left the throne to his murdered brother's sons, which is how the dynasty's last emperor got it.
His empress Budashiri became dowager and ran the court for the next several years.
