Recently, because ill-judged appointments threw governance off course, We therefore sought to entrust the myriad affairs of state to a single chief minister. We thereupon appointed Toqto right chief minister of the Secretariat to bring all officials into order and settle the myriad tasks of government. In less than a full month, the hundred affairs of state were all set in motion, and court and country alike looked to him with hope — for which We are deeply gratified. Yet We still fear that, given the weight of military and state affairs and the multitude of the people, some governmental orders may not yet have won full assent and some livelihoods may not yet have been secured. A general amnesty throughout the realm is hereby granted." On the bingwu day, Venus transgressed the Ghost mansion. That month, the emperor made his seasonal tour to Shangdu.
