奏對，音吐鴻暢，帝為傾聽。 In audience his speech rang clear and resonant, and the emperor listened with rapt attention.

扈蹕樂安，高煦出降，帝命謙口數其罪。 On the campaign to Le'an, Zhu Gaoxu came out to surrender, and the emperor ordered Qian to enumerate his crimes aloud.

帝大悅。 The emperor was greatly pleased.

帝知謙可大任，會增設各部右侍郎為直省巡撫，乃手書謙名授吏部，超遷兵部右侍郎，巡撫河南、山西。 The emperor saw that Qian was fit for heavy responsibility. As new vice-ministerial posts were created in each ministry to serve as provincial grand coordinators, he wrote Qian's name by hand and sent it to the Ministry of Personnel, promoting him directly to Vice Minister of War with grand coordination over Henan and Shanxi.
