泰定元年春，除監察御史，首言：「逆賊鐵失等雖伏誅，其黨樞密副使阿散，身親弒逆，以告變得不死，竄嶺南，乞早正天討。」 In spring of the first year of the Taiding reign he was appointed investigating censor. First he said: "The rebel Tieshi and others, though executed, their clique—the vice director of military affairs Asan—personally took part in regicide, yet by reporting the plot escaped death and was banished to Lingnan. I beg that heavenly punishment be promptly carried out."
