Yuan Ren Zongyi loves Yu li Bali Bada

Emperor Renzong of Yuan was the fourth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, reigning from 7 April 1311 to 1 March 1320.

Major achievements. The first is to resume the imperial examination. In the eleventh month of the second lunar calendar of the imperial calendar, Emperor Yuanrenzong issued an edict to restore the imperial examination. On the seventh day of the third month of the second lunar calendar of Yanyou, 100 candidates who had been selected through layers of examinations conducted the temple examination, and finally 56 jinshi were admitted. At this time, 36 years after the death of the Song Dynasty and 81 years after the death of the Jin Dynasty, han people were able to get a normal way to advance to this point. The second is to compile a code of law. The Yuan court never formulated a standard code that was common throughout the country, and officials lacked a basis for their judgments. In the month of Emperor Yuanrenzong's reign, he ordered Zhongshu Province to collect the laws and regulations from the beginning of Kublai Khan's reign, which were completed in the third year of Yanyou (1316). The third is to restrict the nobility. Yuan Renzong's reform of the Yuan court could not go too far, he could not weaken the executive, judicial and economic privileges of the Mongol kings, and further weakening was a political risk, which would cause the kings to rebel head-on, but only to appropriately limit the power of the nobility.

Problems. The first is the issue of succession to the throne. Emperor Yuanrenzong's throne was inherited from his elder brother Emperor Wuzong of Yuan, who had agreed to pass on his brother and uncle and nephew, but Emperor Yuanrenzong repented, and in the second year of Yanyou (1315), he made Emperor Wuzong's eldest son the King of Zhou, and moved to Yunnan to force him to rebel. In 1316, he made his son crown prince, violating the oath and causing 20 years of political chaos and court strife. Second, the reform force is weak. The power of the nobility was only appropriately limited, and did not dare to reform boldly in accordance with the traditional way of the Central Plains, resulting in the centralization of power not being strengthened. The third is to limit the number of han and southern examination places. The number of people who passed the provincial examinations to participate in the examination was divided according to the four people of Mongolia, Semu, Han And nan, and 75 places per person. In addition, in order not to harm the interests of the old nobles, the number of people in each temple examination did not exceed 100. Yuan Ting held a total of 16 examinations, and a total of 1139 people passed the examination. Fewer people pass the exams to enter the bureaucracy.
