Edict 1SZ-03-01

To all Officials of the Court, 

''As we leave the Palace for the Eastern Inspection, we must leave a person to hold the Preceptor's Seal, and preserve the order of Court in our absence. ''

''As such, we hereby order that Xiao Xuheng, the Prince of Xianyang, be raised to this task. He is a determined young man, who despite past faults has willed himself to seek the light and to better himself. This is a valuable virtue, and we charge that he continues to assert it and refine himself in the conduct of his duties as Preceptor.''

''The Grand Secretaries remaining in Court, as well as all Ministers and the Lords of the Privy Offices, are to support the Preceptor in his work with diligence. ''
