使者謂非秦不敢復命，大學士嚴起恆持不可，議中寢。 The envoy declared that unless Kewang were made Prince of Qin he dared not return. Grand Secretary Yan Qiheng objected, and the proposal was abandoned.

我師定兩廣，桂王至南寧，乃遣使封可望冀王，可望猶不受，復使畏知詣桂王，而遣其將賀九儀等以五千人先驅，取起恆及諸臣阻秦封者盡殺之。 After our army pacified the two Guang provinces, the Prince of Gui reached Nanning and sent envoys to enfeoff Kewang as Prince of Ji. Kewang still refused. He sent Weizhi to the Prince of Gui again, while dispatching his generals He Jiuyi and others with five thousand men ahead to seize Yan Qiheng and all the ministers who had blocked the Qin enfeoffment and put them to death.
