It plays an important role in the balanced development of government and society. He carefully set a good example for the officials. He had white hair and insisted on working hard for the Qing Empire. As an emperor, I am very dependent on, respect, care for and care for him. When Wang Xuling was in his eighties, he wanted to go back to his hometown. He repeatedly asked to go back to his hometown and resign to provide for the aged. I wrote letters and poems to retain him many times. He agreed and continued to work. All of a sudden, my old illness recurred. I sent a good doctor from the imperial palace to treat it. I ordered my eldest son, Prince Hongli, to come to visit me and give me the money. After his death, I feel very sad, because the country has lost important ministers. For this reason, I stopped one day's work in the imperial court and made sacrifices for him in the golden hall. According to his life's contribution, I was honored as "Wen" and "Gong".

Alas, I've been working in the imperial court for a long time, and I'm still in your heart. He shouldered the important mission of the country and made outstanding achievements.
