乃卻其使者，而以詔書詳問王晛，吏部侍郎靖為宣問王晛使。
He sent the Goryeo envoys back and dispatched Jing, vice director of the Ministry of Personnel, with an edict to question Wang Xian directly.
靖至高麗，皓稱王晛已避位出居他所，病加無損，不能就位拜命，往復險遠，非使者所宜往。
In Goryeo, Hao claimed that Xian had abdicated and retired elsewhere, that his illness was worsening, that he could not come forward to receive the imperial message, and that the route was too dangerous and remote for an envoy.
靖竟不得見晛，乃以詔授皓，轉取晛表附奏，其言與前表大概相同。
Jing never saw Xian. He delivered the edict to Hao, obtained Xian's memorial indirectly, and forwarded it—the wording matched the earlier petition.
靖還，上問大臣，皆曰：「晛表如此，可遂封之。」
On Jing's return the emperor consulted his ministers, who all urged, "Given Xian's memorial, we should proceed with the investiture."
