世宗昭德皇后生顯宗、趙王孰輦、越王斜魯。 Shizong's Empress Zhaode gave birth to Xianzong, to Shunian, Prince of Zhao, and to Xielu, Prince of Yue.

二十四年，世宗幸上京，顯宗居守，並留永中。 In the twenty-fourth year Shizong went to the Upper Capital; Xianzong stayed behind to guard the realm, and Yong Zhong was left behind as well.

世宗喜謂豫國公主曰：「皇太子孝德天成，先遣二子，繼遣此子，兄弟之際相友愛如此也。」 Delighted, Shizong told the Princess of Yu: "The crown prince's filial devotion is inborn. He sent his two sons first, then this son — such brotherly affection as this!"

二十五年六月，世宗在天平山好水川清暑，顯宗薨於中都，詔曹王永功視章宗，召永中赴行在。 In the sixth month of the twenty-fifth year, while Shizong was summering at Haoshuichuan on Tianping Mountain, Xianzong died in the Central Capital. An edict ordered Yong Gong, Prince of Cao, to look after Zhangzong and summoned Yong Zhong to the imperial camp.

是歲，世宗賜諸孫名。 That year Shizong gave names to his grandsons.

永中自以世宗長子，且老矣，動有掣制，情思不堪，殊鬱鬱，乃表乞閒居。 Yong Zhong regarded himself as Shizong's eldest son and, now advanced in years, felt thwarted at every turn until he could endure it no longer. Deeply dispirited, he submitted a memorial asking to live in seclusion.
