Surveillance censors Du Kengou and others reported that Grand Preceptor and Right Chancellor Wanze had accepted bribes from Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan; no response. On renwu day the Emperor addressed central secretariat officials, saying, "Recently there have been those who, because yearly tax revenues increased as surplus, hoped to seek enfeoffment and rewards — if this is not exacting from the people, whence does it come?

Toghto, grand councillor of the Jiang-Zhe branch secretariat, dispatched Zhu Qing's and Zhang Xuan's families; their households bribed him heavily with gold and pearls; Toghto reported this.

He was granted 50 taels of gold. Fire broke out in the capital; the central secretariat and privy council were ordered to deliberate on increasing patrol troops.

On gengwu day, because central secretariat documents were excessively numerous, for rank-2 agencies that should submit to the secretariat, they were ordered to deal only with the Six Ministries.

成宗承天下混一之後，垂拱而治，可謂善於守成者矣。惟其末年，連歲寢疾，凡國家政事，內則決於宮壸，外則委於宰臣；然其不致於廢墜者，則以去世祖為未遠，成憲具在故也。

Chengzong, inheriting after the empire had been unified under Heaven, ruled with hands folded in the sleeves — one may say he was skilled at preserving what had been achieved. Yet in his final years illness afflicted him year after year; all state affairs — within the palace they were decided by the empress's curtain, without they were entrusted to the chief ministers; Yet that the dynasty did not fall to ruin was because Shizu had not long departed and the established statutes remained fully in force.
