His meteoric rise from an eighth-rank imperial physician to a sixth-rank chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy was nothing short of meteoric. Most importantly, His Majesty granted him the title of fifth-rank Fengxun Dafu (奉训大夫), even if it was merely a nominal civil post, it was still an official position.
