The Emperor said, "These men have long labored afar; the officials left behind have never reported it to Us — had We not seen it in person, how could We have known!

The Emperor said, "Have you ever carried out Our instructions? Even the ancestral teachings and court laws and regulations — none are observed. Laws are what distinguish high from low and settle the people's minds; from antiquity to the present, there has never been a time when the realm was well governed without laws established. If the ruler makes laws and the chancellor can preserve them without loss, then the people below will know what to fear and avoid, the bonds of discipline can be set right, and customs can be enriched. If laws slacken and the people grow insolent, complaints arise together — to seek peace and order, would it not be difficult?" Ninth month, on bingyin day Hesan said, "By precedent, a chancellor must be a meritorious Mongol minister; Hesan is a Muslim and does not satisfy public expectation."

Seventh year, spring, first month, on xinsi new moon, there was a solar eclipse. The Emperor observed fasting and reduced meals, and waived court congratulations. On renwu day censorate officials said, "Recently Burkhan Ding's mountain preserve and Wanzhezhe's sea-vessel tax were granted; calculating their notes, each amounts to several hundred thousand ingots — for impoverished princes, troops, and commoners, grants have never been on this scale; if we do not practice economy, the treasury will gradually be emptied and the people will grow yet more distressed. Central secretariat officials advanced and said, "What the censorate officials say is quite correct; if we do not rectify court discipline, law and regulation will grow worse still.

仁宗天性慈孝，聰明恭儉，通達儒術，妙悟釋典，嘗曰：「明心見性，佛教為深；修身治國，儒道為切。」又曰：「儒者可尚，以能維持三綱五常之道也。」平居服御質素，淡然無欲，不事遊畋，不喜征伐，不崇貨利。事皇太后，終身不違顏色；待宗戚勛舊，始終以禮。大臣親老，時加恩賚；太官進膳，必分賜貴近。有司奏大辟，每慘惻移時。其孜孜為治，一遵世祖之成憲云。

Renzong was by nature filial and benevolent, intelligent, respectful, and frugal; he mastered Confucian learning and deeply comprehended Buddhist scriptures; he once said, "To clarify the mind and see one's nature, Buddhism goes deeper; to cultivate the person and govern the state, the Confucian Way is more urgent. He also said, "Confucian scholars deserve esteem, for they can uphold the Way of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. In daily life his dress and equipage were plain; he was detached and without desire; he did not engage in hunting excursions, did not delight in military campaigns, and did not exalt profit and goods. In serving the empress dowager, he never went against her countenance throughout his life; in treating imperial kin and meritorious elders, he always observed rites from beginning to end. When ministers had aged parents, he would timely add marks of favor; when the Imperial Kitchen presented meals, he always divided and bestowed them on the honored and those near at hand. When officials reported capital punishment cases, he would always grow deeply sorrowful for a long while. Thus in his tireless governance, he wholly followed Shizu's established institutions.
