Yesün Temür is the eldest son of Xianzong Gammala and the great-grandson of Shizu. He was granted the title of King of Jin and guarded Mobei. After the Nanpo Incident in 1323, Tie Shi and others sent envoys to Mobei to support him as emperor. He ascended the throne in Longjuhe, adopted the era name Taiding, and then killed Tie Shi and other regicides, and ruled with Dao Lasha and others.
During his five years in office, he continued the old system, reduced taxes, provided relief for famines, opened economic feasts, and respected Confucianism. The political situation was generally stable, but problems such as bureaucratic corruption, fiscal deficits, and successive years of famines did not improve. In July 1328, he died of illness in Xanadu at the age of fifty-three. Later, Dao Lasha established his son Ragibagh, while Yan Tiemuer supported Tugh Temür in Dadu, and a war broke out between the two capitals.
