蒼與絳侯等尊立代王為孝文皇帝。 Cang, together with the Marquis of Jiang and the other ministers, honored and enthroned the King of Dai as Emperor Wen.

自漢興至孝文二十餘年，會天下初定，將相公卿皆軍吏。 From the founding of Han through more than twenty years into Emperor Wen's reign, as the empire was still settling after the wars, the generals, chancellors, and high officials had all risen from military service.
