帝詔群臣議上皇太后尊號為太皇太后，有壬曰：「皇上於皇太后，母子也，若加太皇太后，則為孫矣，非禮也。」
The emperor ordered the ministers to discuss granting the empress dowager the title Grand Empress Dowager. Youren said: "The emperor and the empress dowager are mother and son. If she becomes Grand Empress Dowager, he becomes her grandson in title, which violates proper ritual."
中書平章政事徹理帖木兒挾私憾，奏罷進士科，有壬廷爭甚苦不能奪，遂稱疾在告，帝強起之，拜侍御史。
Grand Councillor Cherig Temur, nursing a private grudge, memorialized to abolish the jinshi examination. Youren fought the proposal fiercely at court but could not prevail, then claimed illness and stayed home. The emperor forced him back to office and appointed him attending censor.
明年，改元至正，有壬極論帝當親祠太廟，母后虛位，徽政院當罷，改元命相當合為上詔，冗職當沙汰，錢糧當裁節，如此之類，不一而足。
The next year the era name was changed to Zhizheng. Youren argued forcefully that the emperor should sacrifice at the ancestral temple in person, that the empress dowager's seat should not be left vacant, that the Huizheng Office should be abolished, that the change of era and appointment of chancellors should be issued in one supreme edict, that redundant offices should be cut, and that spending on money and grain should be reduced—proposals of this kind, and more besides.
