宦官们讨论开设东厂，弘图争论没用，就请求退休，福王不同意，给他加官太子少师，让他改任户部尚书、文渊阁大学士。
中官议设东厂，弘图争不得。遂乞休，不许，加太子少师，改户部尚书，文渊阁。
The eunuchs discussed the opening of the East Factory. Hongtu argued in vain, so he asked for retirement. Fu Wang disagreed, gave him the official title of Prince Shaoshi, and asked him to change his position as Minister of the Ministry of Household and Bachelor of Wenyuange University.
