數月，中丞闕，上思存誠前效，謂宰相持憲無以易存誠，遂復為御史中丞。 Several months later the vice censor-in-chief post fell vacant. Remembering Cuncheng's earlier service, the emperor told the chancellor that no one could replace him in upholding the law, and restored him as Vice Censor-in-Chief.

憲宗深惜之，贈刑部侍郎。 Emperor Xianzong deeply mourned the loss and posthumously made him Vice Minister of Justice.
