重紀至元五年，足患風痺，乞南歸以便醫藥，帝不允。
In the fifth year of the renewed Zhiyuan era his legs were afflicted with paralysis. He asked to return south for medical care, but the emperor refused.
拜翰林學士，未幾，懇辭去位，帝復不允，免其行朝賀禮。
He was appointed Hanlin academician. Before long he earnestly asked to resign, but the emperor again refused, though he was excused from court congratulation ceremonies.
五年，帝以玄歷仕累朝，且有修三史功，諭旨丞相，超授爵秩，遂擬拜翰林學士承旨。
In the fifth year the emperor, noting that Xuan had served through several reigns and had helped compile the three histories, instructed the chancellor to promote him beyond the usual ranks. He was proposed for Hanlin expositor-in-chief.
及入奏，上稱快者再三。
When the appointment was reported to the throne, the emperor expressed his pleasure again and again.
已而乞致仕，帝復不允。
Soon he asked to retire, but the emperor again refused.
將行，帝复降旨不允，仍前翰林學士承旨，進階光祿大夫。
Just as he was about to leave, the emperor again refused and kept him as Hanlin expositor-in-chief, promoting him to grand master of splendid happiness.
十七年春，乞致仕，以中原道梗，欲由蜀還鄉，帝復不允。
In the spring of the seventeenth year he asked to retire. With the roads of the central plain blocked, he wished to return home through Shu, but the emperor again refused.
玄久病，不能步履，丞相傳旨，肩輿至延春閣下，實異數也。
Xuan had been ill for a long time and could not walk. The chancellor relayed the emperor's order that he be carried in a sedan chair to the Yanchun Pavilion—an extraordinary honor.
中書以聞，帝賜賻甚厚，贈崇仁昭德推忠守正功臣、大司徒、柱國，追封楚國公，諡曰文。
The central secretariat reported his death. The emperor gave lavish funeral gifts and posthumously honored him as meritorious minister of honoring benevolence, illuminating virtue, promoting loyalty, and upholding rectitude, Grand Minister of Education, and pillar of the state, enfeoffed him as Duke of Chu, and gave him the posthumous title Wen.
