Zhuangzong had pacified the realm; without compilation their deeds would be lost. He asked to compile Veritable Records of the founding ancestor and Zhuangzong with the office."』 」In the seventh month of year 4 Zhao Feng reported compiling the four emperors' records from the sixth month onward.

On dingyou in the eighth month Lu Ruan, grand court corrector, said: "Spring and autumn sacrifices reach Confucius, yet the Martial Completion King has long lacked regular rites; I ask that worship be restored." Approved. On wuxu the Secretariat said: "Crown Prince Junior Tutor Li Qi's spirit-way stele for Huo Yanwei confounds true and false and merit and name; we ask that it be rewritten." Approved. Qi had been a Liang chancellor who cherished old favor and, narrating Yanwei's Liang service, avoided naming false Liang—hence the fault. On xinchou an edict said: "Since the turmoil, captives taken by armies under Heaven, when owners can be identified, must be returned. Yang Renju, former magistrate of Qinghe and Duke of E with three thousand fief households, became Secretariat aide. The Censorate said: "Registrar Zhu Ying had been the former censor-in-chief's appointee and should leave when his patron did.

On gengxu Zhao Feng—chancellor and supervising historiographer—also directed the Hall of Assembled Worthies; Ren Zan, left regular attendant, judged Court of Judicial Review affairs. On jiwei King Jian of Goryeo sent envoys with local tribute. An edict said: "By precedent, commissioners with concurrent grand councilor, palace attendant, or secretariat director titles listed them on edict slips with 'commissioner' written to the side. Qian Liu is marshal-in-chief and imperial father, unlike commissioners; Ma Yin holds grand preceptor and master of writing, a southern rank unfit for edict tails—hereafter omit both from edict slips." On yimao Tangut chieftains presented tribute. On jiazi Mingzong visited Golden Truth Abbey, changed the bestowed title to Great Master Jianfa, and bestowed purple on the nun Zhiyuan as Great Master Yuanhui—Lady Chen, consort of Martial Emperor.

On dingmao in the ninth month the Secretariat said: "The Imperial Clan Court reports Illustrious Ancestor Yongxing, Exalted Ancestor Changning, and Martial Ancestor Establishing the Utmost in Yanmen, Dai, while the four posthumous temples stand in Jincheng, Ying. An edict said: "Raise Ying to a superior prefecture and Jincheng and Yanmen to superior counties. On xinyou Duan Yan of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices said: "Great sacrifices send a chancellor, middle ones a director or supervisor, and small ones leave the grand invoker or ceremonial attendant without an envoy; hereafter let fifth-rank officials perform the rite." Approved. On guisi Mingzong stripped Qian Liu of Wu-Yue of marshal, imperial father, and king and made him retired grand preceptor—for lack of ritual. Earlier Senior General Wu Zhaoyu had gone to the two Zhes, divulged court affairs to Wu men, called Liu "Your Highness" and himself "your subject," and bowed and prostrated on meeting him. Deputy envoy Liu Mei reported it fully on return; Liu's titles were cut and he was ordered to retire. Wu Zhaoyu went to the Censorate and soon was ordered to kill himself. Later an envoy from Zhe said Zhaoyu had never treated Liu as sovereign and Mei had framed him; many thought it unjust. On yiwei an edict ordered every circuit to investigate and arrest two-Zhe tribute envoys.

On wuxu Kang Fu—Xiang army supervisor and acting Ci prefect—became Shuofang and Hexi commissioner and observer of Ling, Wei, Xiong, Jing, and Liang. Shuofang officers had asked court for a commander; hence Fu was sent to take the post.

On xinhai Lang was raised to Baoning Army. On renzi Li Renju—inner guest commissioner and left guard senior general—became Lang commissioner. Mingzong visited the Seven Stars Pavilion.

Historiographers Zhang Zhaoyuan and others presented the new 《Chronicle Records》 of the exalted and illustrious and martial ancestors in twenty juan and the 《Veritable Record》 of Zhuangzong in thirty juan; vessels and silks were graded by rank. (The 《Five Dynasties Essentials》 says supervising compiler Zhao Feng and compilers Zhang Zhaoyuan and Lü Xianxiu each received silks, silver vessels, and the like.)〉
