In the guichou year, the second year of Huangqing [1313], the Emperor said: "Only the good can be regarded as treasures; when the good are employed, the common people are at peace. These are what the state treasures." Due to a prolonged drought, the Emperor burned incense in the palace and prayed silently, and dispatched officials to offer prayers separately at the various shrines; sweet rain poured down abundantly. Li Meng, Academician Recipient of Edicts, said: "The sovereign's handle of authority lies in punishment and reward. Rewarding one good deed encourages the world; punishing one evil deed chastises the world." He also said: "Since Buddhist and Daoist monks practice world-transcending teachings, why should they be involved with government offices? The offices of Buddhist and Daoist clerical officials should be abolished." The Emperor wrote with his own hand the two characters 'Qiu Gu' (Autumn Valley) to bestow upon him. The Chongwen Pavilion was built at the National University. The Song Confucians Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zhang Zai, Shao Yong, Sima Guang, Zhu Xi, Zhang Shi, Lü Zuqian, and the late Grand Academician of the Central Secretariat Xu Heng were admitted to be sacrificed alongside Confucius in the temple court.
