且太祖勳臣，宜膺此舉。 Moreover Grand Progenitor Yuwen Tai's meritorious ministers should receive these appointments.

太祖之初為丞相也，始封此郡，未嘗假人，至是封貴焉。 When Grand Progenitor Yuwen Tai first became chief minister, he first enfeoffed this commandery and had never granted it to another—to this time it was granted to Gui.
