For Lu Hengshan's death remonstrance at the cost of his own life, Meng Tianjue finally let go. In the end, he just removed Chu Pingchuan's military power, but still retained him the title of General Zhengxi, and did not ask him about his life. However, to Chu Pingchuan, he had no soldiers, and the title of General Zhengxi was more like a satire on him.
After the death of the court, the first assistant Lu Hengshan, who was not very healthy, went from bad to worse. He only lingered on the sick bed for more than a month before he died in depression.
When Chu Pingchuan unloaded all military affairs at the border and returned to Shengjing, he heard the news that Lu Hengshan was driving a crane to the west. On top of Lu Hengshan's mourning hall, he wrote an elegiac couplet on the spot. After returning home, he vomited blood and fell ill in bed.
