方是時，天子失政，思用特起士，任之以中興，而朴所善方士許巖士得幸，出入禁中，言朴有經濟才，又水部郎中何迎亦表其賢，帝召與語，擢左諫議大夫、同中書門下平章事。 At that time the emperor had lost control of government and wished to raise unusual men from obscurity and entrust them with restoring the dynasty. The alchemist Xu Yanshi, whom Pu favored, won favor and moved in and out of the inner palace, saying that Pu possessed talent for statecraft. He Ying, director of the Water Department, also memorialized Pu's worth. The emperor summoned Pu for an audience and promoted him to Left Remonstrating Grandee and Co-Director of the Secretariat-Chancellery.
