In the 3rd year of Taiming, Yangzhou was eliminated, and the Yangzhou area was designated as a district directly under the capital. An assistant chief censor was in charge of various counties originally belonging to Yangzhou, just like the state historian previously inspected counties, and Shu Yangzhou was directly renamed Yangzhou. In the 8th year of Taiming, the establishment of Wangji was eliminated. Yangzhou was restored, and Yangzhou, which was originally renamed Shu Yangzhou, was restored as Shu Yangzhou.
