In the eleventh year of the Chongyuan era, he returned power to the emperor. Yet he did not know when to step aside. At the height of his power, he grew arrogant, and in the twentieth year of Chongyuan, he was executed for treason. In the end, he won the emperor's achievements and the reputation of a treacherous minister.

“No one remembers that his lifelong ideal was to fight for the state.”
