皇帝升禦 坐，知閣門官以下並內侍都知、禦帶以下一班起居，次管軍一班起居，次宰執以下常起居訖，左仆射陳康伯、知樞密院事葉義問、參知政事汪澈、同知樞密院事黃祖 舜升殿奏曰：“臣等不才，輔政累年，罪戾山積，乃蒙容貸，不賜誅責。 The emperor ascended the throne. The Director of the Gatehouse and below, together with the Director of the Inner Service and Imperial Girdle Attendants, reported on the emperor's health in one rank; next the commanders of the guard did so; then the chief ministers reported as usual. Left Vice Director Chen Kangbo, Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs Ye Yiwen, Vice Director of the Secretariat Wang Che, and Associate Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs Huang Zushun ascended the hall and said: "We are without talent and have assisted in government for many years. Our offenses are piled like mountains, yet we have been spared execution or punishment.
知閣門官以下一班起居、稱賀，次管軍官一班起居、稱賀，次文武百僚橫行北向立，舍人當殿稱文武百僚宰臣陳康伯以下起居、稱 賀，皇帝降御坐，側身西向不坐。 The Director of the Gatehouse and below reported on the emperor's health and offered congratulations in one rank; next the commanders of the guard did the same; then civil and military officials stood in transverse ranks facing north. The Chamberlain announced that civil and military officials, including Chief Minister Chen Kangbo and below, were reporting on the emperor's health and offering congratulations. The emperor left the throne, turned aside facing west, and did not sit.
俟宰臣以下再拜舞蹈、三稱萬歲、起居、稱賀畢，康伯等升殿奏：“臣等言：願陛下即御坐，以正南面，上副太上皇帝傳授之意。” When the chief ministers and others had finished bowing twice, performing the dance, shouting "Long live the emperor!" three times, reporting on his health, and offering congratulations, Kangbo and the others ascended the hall and said: "We beg Your Majesty to take the throne at once and face due south, in fulfillment of the Supreme Emperor's intent in passing on the succession."
康伯等再奏：“茲者伏遇皇帝陛下應天順人，龍飛寶位，第以駑下之材，恐不足以仰輔新政， 然依乘風雲千載之遇，實與四海蒼生不勝幸慶。” Kangbo and the others added: "We humbly encounter Your Majesty responding to Heaven and following the people, ascending the throne like a dragon soaring aloft. With our meager talents we fear we may not suffice to assist the new government, yet to ride the winds of this once-in-a-millennium moment is a fortune beyond measure for all the people under Heaven."
帝始禦後殿，宰臣陳康伯等奏：“臣等朝德壽宮，太上皇宣諭，車駕每至宮，必於門外降輦，已再三勉諭，既行家人之禮，自宜至殿上降輦。” When the emperor first proceeded to the rear hall, Chief Minister Chen Kangbo and others reported: "When we attended at Deshou Palace, the Supreme Emperor instructed that whenever Your Majesty's carriage arrives at the palace you must dismount outside the gate. He has urged this repeatedly. Since this is a family rite, you should naturally dismount at the hall."
左仆射陳康伯撰太上皇帝冊文，兼 禮儀使、參政汪澈書冊文並篆寶，知樞密院葉義問撰太上皇后冊文，同知樞密院事黃祖舜書冊文。 Left Vice Director Chen Kangbo drafted the Supreme Emperor's patent text. Concurrent Commissioner of Ceremonial Propriety and Vice Grand Councilor Wang Che inscribed the patent text and carved the seal in seal script. Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs Ye Yiwen drafted the Supreme Empress's patent text, and Vice Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs Huang Zushun inscribed it.
皇帝再拜訖，西向立，次太傅以下再拜稱賀致詞曰：“攝 太傅、尚書左仆射臣康伯等稽首言：伏惟光堯壽聖太上皇帝陛下肅臨寶位，誕受丕稱，獨推天父之尊，普慰帝臣之願。” When the emperor had finished bowing twice, he stood facing west. The Grand Preceptor and those below then bowed twice and offered congratulations with a formal address: "Acting Grand Preceptor and Director of the Left Secretariat, your subject Kangbo and others kowtow and report: Humbly considering that Your Majesty the Guangyao Shousheng Supreme Emperor solemnly presides over the throne and has newly received this great title, uniquely extending the honor due Heaven's father and universally fulfilling the wishes of the emperor's ministers."
