In June, the weather was scorching hot, so Zixuan and his companions had to start their journey early in the morning and rest at noon. Naturally, their pace was slow, and it took them ten days to finally reach the capital city.
Mingyu had long dispatched people to wait at the city gate, directly escorting Zixuan and his group to the side courtyard. The Emperor had specially issued a decree summoning Zixuan and his wife, praising them for their actions in Xizhou over the years. "Zixuan, you have been away from the capital for seven or eight years, and you have done very well in Xizhou. This time, I am appointing you as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You must perform well and not disappoint my expectations of you."
Zixuan quickly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your immense grace, Your Majesty. Even if I am ground into dust, I will repay Your Majesty's kindness."
