After the arrow attack, the arrowhead had remained in his cheek without being removed. At this point, the wound had festered with the arrowhead protruding from his mouth.

He also granted Tianxiang the concurrent positions as the Darughazi of the artisans of Bazhou Imperial Clothing Bureau, and Grand Marshal of the seven routes including Beijing.
