After the dossiers were completed, they were presented to Prince Qin, who was stabilizing the people of Chen Country at the front line. After reading them, Prince Qin remained calm and serene, but asked the person who delivered the dossiers, "Is Emperor Chen still around? Can Chen Guo'an proclaim himself emperor?"
"Both Chen and Ying should be kings."
Hence, he was demoted to Chen Ding Li Wang.
On another day, when the posthumous title of Emperor Chen was brought up, Prince Qin was silent for a long time. Holding his sword, he slashed horizontally across the dossier of posthumous titles and said lightly, "Chen Dingye committed numerous sins for his imperial position and posthumous name."
"He wronged my parents, imprisoned General Yue, and expelled the Divine Martial King."
