世宗複熙宗廟諡，尊帝為景宣皇帝。 Shizong restored Xizong's temple name and posthumous honors and again raised Jingxuan to emperor.

世宗即位，追上尊諡立德顯仁啟聖廣運文武簡肅皇帝，廟號睿宗。 At Shizong's accession he received the full posthumous title and the temple name Ruizong.

顯宗體道弘仁英文睿德光孝皇帝，諱允恭，本諱胡土瓦，世宗第二子，母曰明德皇后烏林答氏。 Xianzong—posthumously Embodying the Way, Magnifying Benevolence, Cultured, Sagacious, Bright, and Filial—was taboo-named Yungong, born Hutuwa, Shizong's second son; his mother was Empress Mingde of the Ulinada clan.

大定元年十一月，世宗即位于東京。 In the eleventh month of the first year of Dading, Shizong took the throne in the Eastern Capital.

五月壬寅，立為皇太子，世守謂之曰：「在禮貴嫡，所以立卿。 In the fifth month, on renyin, he was installed as crown prince, and Shizong said to him, "Ritual honors the legitimate heir; that is why I have installed you.

十一月庚子，生辰，百官賀于承華殿，世宗賜以襲衣良馬，賜宴于仁政殿，皇族百官皆與。 On gengzi in the eleventh month, his birthday, officials congratulated him in Chenghua Hall; Shizong gave him court robes and fine horses and hosted a banquet in Renzheng Hall for the imperial clan and officials alike.

自後生辰，世宗或幸東宮，或宴內殿，歲以為常。 Thereafter on his birthdays Shizong would visit the Eastern Palace or feast in the inner halls, year after year.

世宗從之，以為定制。 Shizong agreed and fixed it as precedent.

世宗聞儒者鄭松賢，松先為同知博州防禦事致仕，起為左諭德，詔免朝參，令輔太子讀書。 Shizong heard the scholar Zheng Song was excellent; Song had retired as Bozhou defense vice commissioner, was recalled as left instructor, excused from court attendance, and told to tutor the crown prince.

六年，世宗行自西京還都，禮官不知皇太子自有鹵簿金路，乃請太子就乘大駕綴路，行在天子之前。 In the sixth year, when Shizong returned from the Western Capital, ritual officials unaware that the crown prince had his own gold-chariot guard asked him to ride the imperial procession's trailing section ahead of the emperor on the road.

頃之，禮官議受冊謁謝太廟，服常朝服，乘馬，世宗曰：「此與外宮禮上後謁諸神廟無異，海陵一時率意行之，何足為法？ Soon ritual officials proposed that receiving the seal and thanking the ancestral temple be done in regular court dress on horseback; Shizong said, "That matches nothing but an elevated consort's visit to spirit shrines; Hailing did it on impulse—how is that a model?

九年五月，世宗命避暑於草濼，隋王惟功從行，其應從行者皆給道路費。 In the fifth month of the ninth year Shizong sent him to escape the heat at Caoliao; Prince of Sui Weigong went along, and every attendant was given road money.

世宗曰：「汝體羸弱，山后高涼，故命汝往。」 Shizong said, "You are frail; the high country behind the mountains is cool, so I sent you there."
