"Regional Commander Liu has rendered three great services! First, he safely escorted the Crown Prince to Tianjin to board a ship and take to the sea. Second, he acted on Imperial decree to eliminate Liu Zeqing, who had refused to provide military aid, and led his troops to the Capital to fulfill his duty. Third, he crushed the rebel bandits at Tongzhou, lifting the siege of the Capital. These are feats of immense merit!"
"Furthermore, Regional Commander Liu is the nephew of Empress Xiaochun (Emperor Chongzhen’s mother) and the younger brother of Marquis Xinle, Liu Wenbei. Though he holds no title, he is rightfully counted among the nobility."
"Therefore, I propose that Left Regional Commander Liu Wenyao be appointed as Viceroy of the Capital Garrison."
