tor of the State Finance Commission, was by nature diligent and frugal,
became general when he left the court, and served as grand councilor when
he came back, working hard for the country for a long time. When Your
Majesty first received the Mandate of Heaven, he cooperated in recom-
mending that you be seated on the throne, and this time he went to China on
your orders without complaining, despite the fact that he was too aged to
discharge his duty and died on his way while traveling. Conferring a post-
humous title on him and arranging his funeral with propriety befitting
his status and contributions should be carried out generously based on old
precedents.”

chancellor of the Chancellery and buried with full honors and propriety
with the posthumous title of Chŏnghu conferred on him.4th Day (Chŏngmi)
