On the fifth day, because the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River were secretly rising up, and people's hearts were restless, the emperor ordered Xia Gui, the Acting Left Chancellor, and others to go their separate ways to comfort and govern the military and civilians, inspect and verify money and grain; investigate counties and counties that had suffered severe droughts, and honest and capable officials, and list their names and report them; and impeach and dismiss those who were greedy, cruel, and incompetent.
