Before leaving the State of Wei, Jia Lingyun had issued two royal decrees.
The first was a classified order, to be opened and read only by Cheng Han, commander of the Brave Champion Army. Anyone else attempting to read it would be executed.
The second was a promotion decree. Chen Yu, the former Vice Minister of Justice, who had displayed exceptional courage and devotion to the monarch's burdens, was immediately granted the title of second-rank Baron, hereditary and perpetual. By the special permission of the Prince of Han, he was to enter the Secretariat with the rank of Minister of Justice.
