Feng Feiyan said, "They truly have talent, and even if you hadn't let me do this, I would have considered it. Wufeng lacks talented people, and we must not let their abilities go to waste. Besides, they have great ambitions and a heart for the country. Appointing Zou Qian as Vice Minister and conferring the title of General to Liang Zhiyao and Sheng Qingfeng are quite appropriate."
It is evident that Feng Feiyan promised the three that not only would they safely leave the palace without implicating their families, but also that Zou Qian would be appointed Vice Minister, and Liang Zhiyao and Sheng Qingfeng would become Generals.
Su Yi Jing said, "The positions of Vice Minister and General are critical, pillars of the nation. By the time they are appointed, even if their families are dissatisfied with your decision to let them leave the palace, there will be little resentment."
