泰定帝崩，燕鐵木兒與宗王大臣議：武宗二子周王、懷王，於法當立； When Emperor Taiding died, El Temür and the princes and ministers deliberated: of Emperor Wuzong's two sons, the Zhou King and the Huai King were the lawful heirs;

周王遠在朔漠，而懷王久居民間，備嘗艱險，民必歸之，天位不可久虛，不如先迎懷王，以從民望。 but the Zhou King was far away in the northern steppe while the Huai King had long lived among the people and borne every hardship. The people would surely rally to him, and the throne could not remain empty; they should welcome the Huai King first to satisfy public expectation.
