Two years later, the temple restyled as imperial ancestral temple, and Jiajing honored Zhu Youyuan with the temple name "Ruizong". At that time, Jiajing had relocated the temple with the Hongzhi Emperor's temple, because they were brothers.
After the temple was rebuilt, Jiajing had veto for let Zhu Youyuan shared the same temple with Hongzhi, and relocated the temple at the above of the Zhengde Emperor's temple. At this point, Jiajing had finally posthumously honored Zhu Youyuan as emperor and finished the worship.
