Who was the first historical figure appointed as an official because of Go?

Official Seal of Weiqi (Eastern Han Dynasty)

There was an emperor named Liu Xun in the Han Dynasty. When he is not an emperor, he likes playing Go very much. There is a man named Sui Chen in Liu Xun who always plays chess with him when he has nothing to do. Liu Xun can't play chess with Sui Chen, so he always loses to him. So Liu Xun said to Sui Chen, "I always lose to you at chess, and I still owe you a lot of gambling debts. I will definitely pay you back later. "

Later, when Liu Xun really became emperor, he asked Sui Chen to be the Taiyuan satrap, and solemnly wrote an imperial edict saying, "I will appoint you as the Taiyuan satrap, so you can repay the debts owed by the past game. Your wife and others can testify. " In this way, Sui Chen became the first official because of Weiqi in history, leaving a much-told story in the history of Weiqi in China.
