樞密院學士、尚書倉部郎中司徒詡，樞密院學士、尚書工部郎中顏衎並落職守本官，樞密副使張從恩改宣徽使：初廢樞密院故也。 Situ Xu and Yan Kan, academicians of the Bureau of Military Affairs, were stripped of their concurrent posts and retained their original offices; Zhang Cong'en, vice commissioner of the bureau, was reassigned as commissioner of the Palace Directorate—because the Bureau of Military Affairs had just been abolished.
