戊子,燕鐵木兒等奏:「中政院越中書擅奏除授,移文來征制敕,已如所請授之,然於大體非宜,乞申命禁止,庶使政權歸一。」 On wuzi day Yan Timur and others memorialized: "The Central Domestic Affairs Court, overstepping the central secretariat, has on its own authority memorialized appointments and removals, and sent documents demanding commission edicts; appointments have already been made as requested, yet this is not proper in the larger scheme of affairs; we request that orders be issued forbidding this, so that governmental authority may be unified."
