遣阿藍答兒往京兆，大集官吏，置計局百四十二條以考核之，罪者甚眾，世祖每遣左丞闊闊與澄周旋其間，以彌縫其缺，及親入朝，事乃釋。 Möngke dispatched Ala'er to Jingzhao, summoned a mass gathering of officials, and imposed one hundred and forty-two audit regulations by which to investigate them; a great many were found guilty. Kublai repeatedly sent Left Assistant Minister Kökö and Cheng to intervene and mitigate the damage, and only when he went to court in person was the matter finally settled.
