十七年，賀正旦禮物，玉帶乃石似玉者，有司請移問，上曰：「彼小國無能識者，誤以為玉耳，不必移問。」 In the seventeenth year the New Year's gifts included a belt of stone that resembled jade. Officials proposed a formal inquiry, but the emperor said, "That small state lacks experts—they mistook stone for jade. No inquiry is needed."

十二月，有司奏高麗下節押馬官順成例外將帶甲三過界，上以使人所坐罪重，但令發還本國而已。 In the twelfth month officials reported that during the lower festival Goryeo's horse-escort officer Shuncheng had brought three armored men across the border without authorization. Though the offense was serious, the emperor ordered only their repatriation.
