帝崩，英宗宅憂，右丞相帖木迭兒用事，日誅大臣不附己者，中外洶洶。 When the Emperor died, Yingzong was still in mourning. The Right Chancellor Temür Odjir seized power and day after day executed ministers who would not follow him, until the whole court was in uproar.

帝造壽安山寺，監察御史觀音保、瑣咬兒哈的迷失、成珪、李謙亨強諫，帝震怒，殺觀音保、瑣咬兒哈的迷失，以成珪、李謙亨屬吏，思明白丞相曰：「言事，御史職也，祖宗已來，未嘗殺諫臣。」 When the Emperor undertook construction of Shou'an Temple, the investigating censors Guanyinbao, Suo'er Ha'dimishi, Cheng Gui, and Li Qianheng remonstrated forcefully. The Emperor was enraged and put Guanyinbao and Suo'er Ha'dimishi to death, handing Cheng Gui and Li Qianheng over to the courts. Siming told the Chancellor plainly, "It is a censor's duty to speak out on public affairs. Since the founding of the dynasty, no remonstrating minister has ever been executed."
