A leather cap, ceremonial headwear, a set of ceremonial robes, a set of red gauze day-to-day robes, silk gauze headwear and a rhinoceros skin belt were conferred upon Li Hao, the king of the country of Annam. This was ordered subsequent to the Emperor's refusal to approve a request submitted by the attendant ministers sent by Hao that a crown and robes (冕服) be conferred upon him. Instead, these items were conferred upon him. Further 100 liang of silver was conferred upon the attendant ministers he had sent.
