六月，虔釗等至成都，知祥宴勞之，虔釗奉觴起為壽，知祥手緩不能舉觴，遂病，以其子昶為皇太子監國。 In the sixth month Qianzhao and the others reached Chengdu, where Zhixiang feasted them. Qianzhao rose with a cup to toast his health, but Zhixiang's hand trembled and he could not raise his cup. He fell ill and made his son Chang crown prince regent.
