及此二十九年而康獻皇太后臨朝，有司以裒皇太后父，議加不臣之禮，拜侍中、衛將軍、錄尚書事，持節、都督、刺史如故。 Twenty-nine years later, when Empress Dowager Kangxian ruled as regent, the authorities, because Pou was the empress dowager’s father, debated adding the rite of not being a subject, and appointed him Palace Attendant, General of the Guards, and recorder of the Department of State Affairs, while he kept his credentials, command, and inspectorship.
裒重陳前所遣前鋒督護王頤之等徑造彭城，示以威信，後遣督護麋嶷進軍下邳，賊即奔潰，嶷率所領據其城池，今宜速發，以成聲勢，於是除征討大都督青、揚、徐、兗、豫五州諸軍事。 Chu Pou replied that Wang Yizhi’s vanguard had already reached Pengcheng and Mi Yi had taken Xiapi, routing the enemy; a swift follow-up would consolidate the gain. He was therefore named grand commander of the five provinces’ expeditionary forces.
