尚書令樊建、侍中張紹、光祿大夫譙周、秘書令卻正、殿中督張通並封列侯。 Director of the masters of writing Fan Jian, palace attendant Zhang Shao, household counsellor Qiao Zhou, director of the secretariat Xi Zheng, and palace supervisor Zhang Tong were all enfeoffed as full marquises.

郤正聞之，求見禪曰：「若王後問，宜泣而答曰『先人墳墓遠在隴、蜀，乃心西悲，無日不思』，因閉其目。」 Xi Zheng heard this and sought audience, advising Shan: "If the king asks again, weep and answer, 'My forebears' graves lie far off in Long and Shu; my heart grieves westward; not a day passes without longing,' and close your eyes as you speak."

會王復問，對如前，王曰：「何乃似郤正語邪！」 When the king asked again, Shan answered as before. The king said, "Why does this sound like Xi Zheng's coaching!"
