仁宗聞朝廷有變，將北還，命朵兒只與李孟先之京師，與右丞相哈剌哈孫定議，迎武宗於北籓。 When Renzong learned of upheaval at court and prepared to return north, he sent Duoerzhi and Li Meng ahead to the capital to confer with Right Chief Minister Qarghasun on welcoming Wuzong from the northern frontier.

帝他日與中書平章李孟論元從人材，孟以朵兒只為第一，帝然之，拜禮部尚書。 On another day the emperor discussed with Assistant Administrator Li Meng the talents of his original followers. Li Meng ranked Duoerzhi first; the emperor agreed and appointed him Minister of Rites.
