及少帝嗣位，遣使入契丹，德光以少帝不先承稟，擅即尊位，所賫文字，略去臣禮，大怒，形於責讓，朝廷使去，即加譴辱。 When the Young Emperor succeeded, he sent envoys to the Khitan. Deguang was furious that the new ruler had taken the throne without his leave and that the letters omitted the language of vassalage. He rebuked them openly and insulted every envoy who departed.

會契丹回圖使喬榮北歸，侍衛親軍都指揮使景延廣謂榮曰：「先朝是契丹所立，嗣君乃中國自冊，稱孫可矣，稱臣未可。 When the Khitan envoy Qiao Rong was returning north, Palace Guard Commander Jing Yanguang told him, "Your court made our former emperor. This successor was enthroned by China itself. He may call himself your grandson, but not your subject.

明年冬，德光率諸部南下，開運元年春，陷祁州，直抵大河，少帝幸澶州以禦之。 The next winter Deguang marched south with all his tribes. In the spring of Kaiyun 1 he took Qizhou and reached the Yellow River. The Young Emperor went to Chanzhou to meet him.

是時，契丹連歲入寇，晉氏疲於奔命，邊民被苦，幾無寧日，晉相桑維翰勸少帝求和於契丹，以紓國難，少帝許之，乃遣使奉表稱臣，卑辭首過。 The Khitan had raided year after year. The Jin court was exhausted, the border people knew no peace. Chancellor Sang Weihan urged the Young Emperor to sue for peace. He agreed and sent envoys with a humble memorial calling himself subject and confessing fault.

十月，少帝遣杜重威、李守貞等率兵經略。 In the tenth month the Young Emperor sent Du Chongwei, Li Shouzhen, and others on campaign.

十二月十日，杜重威率諸軍降於契丹，語在《晉少帝紀》中。 On the tenth day of the twelfth month Du Chongwei surrendered his entire army to the Khitan. The full account appears in the Basic Annals of the Jin Young Emperor.

晉少帝遣子延煦、延寶奉降表於契丹，並傳國寶一紐至牙帳。 The Young Emperor sent his sons Yanshu and Yanbao with the surrender memorial and the imperial seal cord to the Khitan camp.

五日，宣制降晉少帝為負義侯，於黃龍府安置。 On the fifth day he demoted the Young Emperor to Marquis Who Betrayed Righteousness and sent him to Huanglong Prefecture.
