On the day the Left General returned, Her Majesty the Empress conferred upon him the title of Marquis Wei Yuan.
On the day Chief Historian Chen returned to the Capital City, Her Majesty the Empress appointed him Chancellor of the Da Liang Dynasty.
Such honors and royal favor are enough for Marquis Wei Yuan and Chancellor Chen to remember for a lifetime. Among the court officials, while they talked about it with relish, they couldn't help but feel envious.
They too longed for such favor!
Especially Minister Dong of the Ministry of Rites, who had always been on good terms with Chancellor Chen. He felt very envious. However, he was mentally prepared for this. If it hadn't been for Prime Minister Wang holding on without stepping down, Chief Historian Chen would not have had to wait over a year and would have become Prime Minister long ago. Leaving aside the Prime Minister, he could be content with being the second among the civil servants as the Minister of Rites.
