After his father's death (691), during the reign of his father's younger brother Kapgan (Mokutsu) Khagan, he made a name for himself by invading Kyrgyzstan on the upper reaches of the Yenisei River and suppressing the Nine Tiele clan, and was in charge of managing the western region. After Mokutsu's death (716), his younger brother Kyol Tegin (Quetekin) killed his family and vassals, and as the Left Wise King, Mokukiyokuren was promoted to the title of Bilge Khagan.
