Civil culture and education flourished greatly, and laws and ordinances were clear and distinct. In the third year of Yongping, portraits of the meritorious ministers of the restoration were painted, displaying twenty-eight generals in the Cloud Terrace of the Southern Palace; Wang Chang, Li Tong, Dou Rong, and Zhuo Mao were added, making thirty-two men in all. Only Ma Yuan was excluded because he was an imperial in-law. In the fourth year of Yongping, Cang, King of Dongping, came to court. The Emperor asked, "When residing at home, what brings the greatest joy?" He replied, "Doing good brings the greatest joy." The Emperor sighed and said, "These words are profound indeed; they can preserve the state!"
