The Temple of Meritorious Officials: Xu Da was foremost, followed by Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Tang He, Mu Ying, Hu Dahai, Feng Guoyong, Zhang Desheng, Wu Liang, Wu Zhen, Cao Liangchen, Kang Maocai, Wu Fu, Mao Cheng, and Sun Xingzu, making twenty-one persons in all. An order was given that statues of the deceased be sculpted and sacrificed to in the temple, while seats for the living remained vacant. It was located on Jiming Mountain. The meritorious officials accompanying the sacrifices in the Grand Ancestral Temple were determined: Liao Yong'an, Yu Tonghai, Zhang Desheng, Sang Shijie, Geng Zaicheng, Hu Dahai, and Zhao De, seven persons already deceased, were sacrificed to in the temple. Later, Yong'an was removed, while the six persons—Xu, Chang, Li, Deng, Tang, and Mu—were all personally decided by the Emperor.
