二十六年，太皇太后崩，詔王大臣集永康左門外議喪禮。 In the twenty-sixth year (1687), upon the death of the Grand Empress Dowager, the emperor ordered princes and senior ministers to gather outside the Left Gate of Yongkang to deliberate on the funeral ceremonies.

況永康左門乃禁門重地，太皇太后在殯，至尊居廬，天威咫尺，非大臣致敬諸王之地。 Moreover, the Left Gate of Yongkang is a restricted inner gate. With the Grand Empress Dowager lying in state and the emperor residing in mourning quarters, the majesty of the throne was close at hand—hardly the setting for grand ministers to prostrate themselves before princes.
