至哀宗正大元年，乃立法，命監察御史、司農司官，先訪察隨朝七品、外路六品以上官，清慎明潔可為舉主者，然後移文使舉所知，仍以六事課殿最，而升黜舉主。 In Zhengda 1 (1224) under Emperor Aizong a new law required censorial investigators and Directorate of Agriculture officials first to identify honest capital-attached seventh-rank and outer-circuit sixth-rank officials fit to serve as recommenders, then authorize them to nominate candidates; the six performance criteria determined the recommender's reward or punishment.
