元祐之初，翼祖既祧，正合典禮。 At the beginning of Yuanyou, when Emperor Yi was removed, this accorded with canonical ritual.

至於崇寧，宣祖當祧，適蔡京用事，一遵安石之術，乃建言請立九廟，自我作古，其已祧翼祖、宣祖並即依舊。 By Chongning, when Emperor Xuan was due for removal, Cai Jing followed Anshi's method entirely, proposing nine temples and creating antiquity anew, while restoring the removed Emperors Yi and Xuan.

閏十月，權禮部侍郎許及之言：「僖、順、翼、宣四祖，為太祖之祖考，所遷之主，恐不得藏於子孫之廟。 In the intercalary tenth month, Acting Vice Minister Xu Jizhi stated: "Emperors Xi, Shun, Yi, and Xuan, as Taizu's forebears—their removed tablets probably ought not be stored in descendants' temples.

今順、翼二祖藏於西夾室，實居太廟太祖之右。 Emperors Shun and Yi are now stored in the western side chamber, actually to Taizu's right in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

於是詔有司集議，吏部尚書兼侍讀鄭僑等言：「僖祖當用唐興聖之制，立為別廟，順祖、翼祖、宣祖之主皆祔藏焉。 An edict ordered deliberation. Zheng Qiao, Minister of Personnel and Imperial Reader, and others stated: "Emperor Xi should follow the Tang system for Emperor Xingsheng as a separate temple, with Emperors Shun, Yi, and Xuan enshrined there.

慶元二年四月，禮部太常寺言：「已於太廟之西，別建僖祖廟，及告遷僖、順、翼、宣帝後神主詣僖祖廟奉安。 In the fourth month of the second year of Qingyuan, the Ministry of Rites and Court of Imperial Sacrifices reported: "A separate temple for Emperor Xi has been built west of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the tablets of Emperors Xi, Shun, Yi, and Xuan have been escorted there for installation.
