今神宗皇帝崇祔，翼祖在七世之外，與簡穆皇后祧藏於西夾室，置石室中。」 With Emperor Shenzong solemnly enshrined, Yizu lies beyond the seven generations and is stored in distant-line fashion with Empress Jianmu in the west flanking chamber's stone chamber."

陸佃、曾肇等議：「國朝自僖祖而下始備七廟，故英宗祔廟，則遷順祖，神宗祔廟，則遷翼祖。 Lu Dian, Zeng Zhao, and others argued: "Our dynasty from Xizu downward first completed seven temples; when Yingzong was enshrined, Shunzu was moved; when Shenzong was enshrined, Yizu was moved.

崇寧二年，祧宣祖與昭憲皇后神主藏西夾室，居翼祖、簡穆皇后石室之次。 In 1103, Xuanzu and Empress Zhaoxian's tablets were moved to distant-line status and stored in the west flanking chamber, next to Yizu and Empress Jianmu's stone chamber.

今存宣祖於當祧之際，復翼祖於已祧之後，以備九廟，禮無不稱。」 To retain Xuanzu when he should be moved to distant-line status and restore Yizu after he was already moved, to complete nine temples—nothing is improper in ritual."

四年十二月，復翼祖、宣祖廟，行奉安禮，惟不用前期誓戒及亞、終獻之樂舞焉。 In the twelfth month of the fourth year, the temples of Yizu and Xuanzu were restored and the installation rite performed, only without the prior oath of abstinence and the secondary and final offerings' music and dance.
