又其弟也先帖木兒，庸材鄙器，玷汙清臺，綱紀之政不修，貪淫之心益著。」 Moreover his younger brother Yesen Temür is a mediocre talent of base character who has defiled the Censorate; disciplinary government is not maintained, and his greedy and licentious conduct grows ever more manifest."

章三上，詔令也先帖木兒出都門聽旨，以宣徽使汪家奴為御史大夫。 The memorial was submitted three times; an edict ordered Yesen Temür to leave the capital and await instructions, and Wangjianu, commissioner of the Palace Provisionery, was appointed censor-in-chief.

丁酉，詔以脫脫老師費財，已逾三月，坐視寇盜，恬不為意，削脫脫官爵，安置淮安路，弟御史大夫也先帖木兒安置寧夏路。 On the dingyou day, an edict stated that Toto, as grand preceptor, had wasted state resources; more than three months had passed while he sat watching bandits and thieves unconcerned. Toto's offices and ranks were stripped and he was placed at Huaian Circuit; his younger brother, Censor-in-Chief Yesen Temür, was placed at Ningxia Circuit.
