Kubilai Khan's death without an heir to the Khanate and the Chinese Dynasty once again caused uncertainty  over the regime, and fighting among his grandson's over the succession.  Kubilai Khan's grandson, Temur, eventually ascended to the throne.  The next thirty-nine years brought a rapid succession of nine emperors.Temur was a capable ruler. He made peace with the other warring Mongolian Khanates within the empire.   He also left the administrative state's systems and structures in good condition.  He did little, however, over the ceaseless fiscal problems that haunted the empire and the dynasty.
