壬午，史館奏：「宣宗已下四廟未有實錄，請下兩浙、荊湖購募野史及除目報狀。」 On renwu the Historiographic Office said: "From Xuanzong onward the four temple veritable records are missing; we ask Liang-Zhe and Jing-Hu to buy unofficial histories and appointment reports."

其兩浙、福建、湖廣伏乞詔旨，委各於本道采訪宣宗、懿宗、僖宗、昭宗以上四朝野史，及逐朝日曆、銀台事宜、內外製詞、百司沿革簿籍，不限卷數，據有者抄錄上進。 For Liang-Zhe, Fujian, and Huguang it asked edicts to seek from Xuanzong through Zhaozong unofficial histories, calendars, Silver Terrace records, edicts, and office registers, copying all held copies.
