Two days ago, Jiang Gaoyi, who was already the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, had been unexpectedly granted the title of Viscount. An imperial messenger arrived at his residence to proclaim the Holy Decree. According to the principle that "titles are granted for merit," the promotion came without rhyme or reason, but the decree stated plainly that the reward was for his "diligence and conscientiousness."
The Imperial City's Top Divine Hunter, Guo Zifei, was granted a plaque by the Holy Emperor inscribed with "World's Top Divine Hunter," to be hung in the Six Gates.
Yan Jiji was granted a gold medal by the Holy Emperor, inscribed with "Celestial Artisan."
At the Great Emperor's behest, Xi'er of Zheng's Cloth Shop tailored an exquisite brocade robe. Afterward, the Great Emperor was so delighted that he personally took up his brush and bestowed upon her the title "World's Number One Tailor," even stamping it with his imperial seal.
