After the death of Khubilai Khan the imperial court of Yuan was dominated by faction struggles among the Mongol nobility that sought to control the emperors.
Khubilai had refrained from naming a successor, because according to steppe traditions it should be the Mongol nobility that should elect the new khan during a state assembly, a khuriltai.
It was thus the first time that a Mongol ruler came to the throne without really being elected on a khuriltai: the new khan was only reaffirmed by the Mongol nobility after his victory.
