Temür Öljeytü Khan ascends the Yuan throne
1301
Kublai Khan's grandson took the Dragon Throne in Khanbaliq, inheriting an empire that spanned steppe and paddy. He continued his grandfather's patronage of Tibetan Buddhism and maintained the elaborate postal relay system binding the provinces. His reign would bring a brief Indian summer of stability to Mongol China - the last before court factions, fiscal crisis, and Yellow River floods cracked the dynasty from within.
