元武宗——库鲁克汗
一位来自草原边境的将军，通过一场反对皇太后候选人的政变被召往南方。他以极大的规模发放荣誉和纸币，导致了严重的通货膨胀，在三十岁时去世。他与他的兄长达成了继承协议，王位会传给他，然后传回给他自己的儿子；但只有第一部分得以实现。
元武宗
“Four years of printing money to pay for titles”
A general from the steppe frontier brought south by a coup against the dowager's candidate. He handed out honors and paper currency on a scale that produced serious inflation, and died at thirty. He had agreed that the throne would pass to his brother and then back to his own sons; only the first half happened.
That broken agreement is behind most of the coups of the following twenty years.
His empress Zhenge has a painting of her own.
