帝雅薄時務，常有遺世之心，欲禪位於叔父京兆王子推，語在任城王雲傳，羣臣固請，帝乃止。 The emperor by nature held worldly affairs in light esteem and often had a mind to leave the world; he wished to abdicate the throne to his paternal uncle Zitui, Prince of Jingzhao—the account is in the Biography of Prince of Rencheng Yun—and when the ministers firmly petitioned, he desisted.
