皇伯祖太師，友于盡愛，國爾惟忠，謀必罔愆，舉無不濟。
The imperial granduncle, Grand Preceptor, fulfilled all fraternal duty as a brother and harbored only loyalty toward the state; every plan was without flaw, and nothing he undertook failed.
愛民長悌曰'恭'，一德不懈曰'簡'，夙夜共事 曰'敬'，小心畏忌曰'僖'，請上皇伯祖太師尊諡曰恭簡皇帝，廟號康宗、妣曰敬僖皇后。
Gong is for loving the people and long practicing fraternal duty, jian for single-minded virtue without slackening, jing for toiling from dawn to dusk in service, xi for cautious reverence and restraint—we ask that the imperial granduncle, Grand Preceptor, receive the posthumous title Emperor Gongjian, with the temple name Kangzong, and that his consort be titled Empress Jingxi.
是歲閏十一月，增上祖宗尊諡，始祖景元皇帝曰懿憲景元皇帝，德皇帝曰淵穆玄德皇帝，安皇帝曰和靖慶安皇帝，獻祖定昭皇帝曰純烈定昭皇帝，昭祖成襄皇帝曰武惠成襄皇帝，景祖惠桓皇帝曰英烈惠桓皇帝，世祖聖肅皇帝曰神武聖肅皇帝，肅宗穆憲皇帝曰明睿穆憲皇帝，穆宗孝平皇帝曰章順孝平皇帝，康宗恭簡皇帝曰獻敏恭簡皇帝，太宗文烈皇帝曰體元應運世德昭功哲惠仁聖文烈皇帝，徽宗景宣皇帝曰允恭克讓孝德玄功佑聖景宣皇帝，已上廟號如故。
In the intercalary eleventh month of that year the court augmented the posthumous titles of the imperial ancestors: Founder Emperor Jingyuan became Emperor Yixian Jingyuan; Emperor De became Emperor Yuanmu Xuande; Emperor An became Emperor Hejing Qing'an; Xianzu Emperor Dingzhao became Emperor Chunlie Dingzhao; Zhaozu Emperor Chengxiang became Emperor Wuhui Chengxiang; Jingzu Emperor Huihuan became Emperor Yinglie Huihuan; Shizu Emperor Shengsu became Emperor Shenwu Shengsu; Suzong Emperor Muxian became Emperor Mingrui Muxian; Muzong Emperor Xiaoping became Emperor Zhangshun Xiaoping; Kangzong Emperor Gongjian became Emperor Xianmin Gongjian; Taizong Emperor Wenlie became Emperor Tiyuan Yingyun Shide Zhaogong Zhehui Rensheng Wenlie; Huizong Emperor Jingxuan became Emperor Yungong Kerang Xiaode Xuangong Yousheng Jingxuan—the temple names listed above remained unchanged.
