致和元年，河南行省平章伯颜矫制起月鲁帖木兒为本省参知政事，共议起兵。 In 1328 Bayan, Pingzhang of the Henan Branch Secretariat, forged an imperial order summoning Yuelutiemuer as vice administrator of the province to join in planning a military rising.

伯颜怒。 Bayan was enraged.

会明里董阿迓皇子过河南，而月鲁帖木兒为御史时尝劾其娶娼女冒受封，明里董阿因说伯颜收之，丞相别不花亦与之有隙，乃谪月鲁帖木兒乾宁安抚司安置。 Minglidong'a happened to be escorting the prince through Henan; when Yuelutiemuer had been a censor he had impeached Minglidong'a for marrying a prostitute and fraudulently receiving a title. Minglidong'a persuaded Bayan to act against him, and Chancellor Biebuhua, who also bore a grudge, joined in; Yuelutiemuer was demoted and placed under the Ganning Pacification Commission.
