事聞，文宗以其三世死事，特詔優恤，加一云騎尉，諡貞愍。 When word reached the court, Emperor Wenzong, noting that three generations of the family had died in service, issued a special edict of generous mourning honors, added one Commandant of Cloud Cavalry, and gave him the posthumous title Zhenmin, 'Steadfast and Compassionate.'

文宗即位，應詔陳言，請明黜陟，寬出納，禁糜費，重海防，上嘉納。 When Emperor Wenzong took the throne, he responded to the imperial call for memorials by urging clear standards for promotion and dismissal, easier revenue collection and disbursement, an end to wasteful spending, and stronger coastal defense; the emperor approved.
