肅順等既敗，少詹事許彭壽疏請治黨援，論形跡最著莫如孚恩，最密莫如侍郎劉昆、黃宗漢，平日所薦舉者，則有侍郎成琦、太僕寺少卿德克津太、候補京堂富績等，於是諸臣盡黜。 After Sushun's fall, Junior Mentor Xu Pengshou memorialized to punish their clique. He named Fuen the most conspicuous associate, Liu Kun and Huang Zonghan the closest confidants, and among Fuen's usual recommendations Cheng Qi, Deke Jintai, and Fuji; all were dismissed.

四年，特詔褒宗漢辦理防務、海運，及本境治匪、察吏，精詳無瞻顧，深堪嘉尚，特賜御書「忠勤正直」扁額，勉其慎終如始，以成一代良臣。 In the fourth year (1854) a special edict praised Zonghan for his defense work, sea transport, suppression of bandits, and inspection of officials—praising his thoroughness and courage—and granted him an imperial plaque inscribed "Loyal, diligent, upright, and straight," urging him to finish as he had begun and become a minister worthy of his age.
