世祖卽位，轉度支尚書，領右軍將軍。 At Emperor Wu's accession he became minister of revenue and also right-army general.

公事混撓，販食人擔火誤燒牛鼻，豫章王白世祖，世祖笑焉。 Government was in disorder; a peddler's brazier set an ox's nose afire by mistake. The Prince of Yuzhang reported it to Emperor Wu, who only laughed.

世祖遺詔爲侍中、尚書令，尋加鎮軍將軍，給班劔二十人。 Emperor Wu's final testament made him palace attendant and director of the masters of writing; soon he was also general who stabilizes the army, with twenty sword-bearers in his train.
