元妃張氏生鄗王允中、越王允功。 The primary consort, Lady Zhang, bore Yun Zhong, Prince of Hao, and Yun Gong, Prince of Yue.

鎬王永中，本名實魯剌，又名萬僧。 Yong Zhong, Prince of Hao, born Shilula, was also known as Wanseng.

是歲，改葬明德皇后于坤厚陵，永中母元妃張氏陪葬。 That year Empress Mingde was reinterred at Kunhou Tomb, and Yong Zhong's mother, the primary consort Lady Zhang, was buried with her.

永中以元妃柩先發，使執黃傘者前導。 Yong Zhong sent the primary consort's bier out first and had men with yellow canopies go ahead as guides.

永中不悅，顯宗勸之曰：「宗正之職，自親及疏，自近及遠，此親賢之任也。 Yong Zhong took offense, but Xianzong persuaded him: "The Imperial Clan Court's charge runs from the nearest kin outward to the most distant — it is the task of honoring the worthy among one's relatives.

永中乃喜。 With that, Yong Zhong was satisfied.

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.

顯宗先遣章宗、宣宗奉表問起居於上京，既而遣永中子光祿大夫石古乃奉表。 Xianzong first dispatched Zhangzong and Xuanzong to the Upper Capital with memorials inquiring after the emperor's health; he then sent Yong Zhong's son Shigu Nai, Grand Master of Splendid Happiness, with another memorial.

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.

章宗即位，起複判西京留守，進封漢王，與諸弟各賜金五百兩、銀五千兩、錢二千貫、重幣三百端、絹二千匹。 When Zhangzong came to the throne, Yong Zhong was recalled to serve as regent of the Western Capital and promoted to Prince of Han. Each of the princes received five hundred taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, two thousand strings of cash, three hundred bolts of heavy silks, and two thousand bolts of silk.

再賜永中修公廨錢三百萬，特加石古乃銀青榮祿大夫，阿離合懣奉國上將軍。 Yong Zhong was further given three million in cash to repair his official residence; Shigu Nai was specially made Silver-Green Glory Grandee, and Alihemen was made General-in-Chief Who Supports the State.
