工部尚書、權知貢舉竇貞固奏：「試進士諸科舉人入策，舊例夜試，以三條燭盡為限，天成二年改令晝試，今欲依舊夜試。」 Dou Zhengu, Minister of Works and acting chief examiner, reported: "Jinshi and other candidates taking the policy examination formerly tested at night, with a limit of three candles; in Tiancheng 2 this was changed to daytime testing, and we now ask to restore the night examination."

己丑，以工部尚書竇貞固為禮部尚書，太常卿王延為工部尚書，左丞王松為太常卿，以前尚書右丞龍敏為尚書左丞。 On jichou, Dou Zhengu moved from Works to Rites; Wang Yan from Director of Sacrifices to Works; Wang Song from Left Assistant Director to Director of Sacrifices; and former Right Assistant Director Long Min to Left Assistant Director.
