是歲，雲南驃信鄭旻遣使致朱鬃白馬以求婚，使者自稱皇親母弟、清容布燮兼理、賜金錦袍虎綾紋攀金裝刀、封歸仁慶侯、食邑一千戶、持節鄭昭淳。
That year Zheng Min, the Piao Xin of Yunnan, sent envoys with a red-maned white horse to seek a marriage alliance. The envoy styled himself the emperor’s maternal younger brother, Qingrong Buye and Concurrent Administrator, bearer of a gold brocade robe and a tiger-pattern gold-inlaid climbing knife, enfeoffed as Marquis of Guirenqing with a fief of one thousand households, and holding credentials — Zheng Zhaochun.
昭淳好學有文辭，龑與遊宴賦詩，龑及群臣皆不能逮，遂以隱女增城縣主妻旻。
Zhaochun loved learning and had literary gifts. Yan feasted and composed poetry with him, but Yan and his ministers could not match him, so he gave Yin’s daughter, the Princess of Zengcheng, to Min in marriage.
