中書聞之，遣官驛追，不及而還，言於帝曰：「吳澄，國之名儒，朝之舊德，今請老而歸，不忍重勞之，宜有所褒異。」 The Secretariat heard of this and sent an official by relay post to pursue him, but could not overtake him. The official returned and said to the Emperor, "Wu Cheng is a famous Confucian of the realm and an old worthy of the court. Now he asks to retire—I cannot bear to burden him further, and he should receive some special honor."
