Decline
Tayisung Khan Toghtoa Bukha's consort was the elder sister of Esen who persuaded the Khan to made his sister’s son crown prince so that he would become the future khan. The request was denied, and Tayisung Khan and Esen went to war in 1451. Esen promised Tayisung Khan's brother, Agbarjin, the throne of Emperor instead. Esen and Agbarjin besieged Karakorum where Tayisung Khan stationed. Because most of the eastern Mongols deserted to the Oirats, the Khan's troops were defeated in the land of Turfan and he fled towards the Khentii Khan mountains and the Kherlen River with a few of his entourage. As Tayisung Khan fled, he was killed by his former father-in-law, Tsabdan, in 1453 who later defected to Esen.

“Or else I thought her supernatural;
As though a sterner eye looked through her eye
On this foul world in its decline and fall,
On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry,
Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty,
Heroic reverie mocked by clown and knave....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
