詔元珪二十餘人議政中書,若惜人力,嚴選舉,節財用,定律令,謹賞罰,建科舉,課農桑,汰冗員,易封贈,皆切於世務者。 An edict directed Yuangui and more than twenty others to deliberate on state policy at the Central Secretariat—sparing labor, tightening appointments, cutting expenses, fixing laws, disciplining rewards and punishments, restoring examinations, promoting agriculture, eliminating redundant posts, and reforming enfeoffments and posthumous honors—each a matter of urgent public concern.
