Western sources claimed that he was quite tolerant toward Christians. Before his succession, Changshi sent the Yuan emperor Tugh Temur 170 Russian prisoners. However, he was probably Nestorian. He was given a pecuniary reward from the court of Yuan dynasty. He overthrew princes from the power of the khanate in 1334–1335. But he was murdered by his family in 1337 after a short period of his reign. He was succeeded by his younger brother, Yesun Temur.
