元符三年正月己卯，哲宗崩，皇太后垂簾，哭謂宰臣曰：「國家不幸，大行皇帝無子，天下事須早定。」 章惇又曰：「在禮律當立母弟簡王。」 皇太后曰：「神宗諸子，申王長而有目疾，次則端王當立。」 惇厲聲對曰：「以年則申王長，以禮律則同母之弟簡王當立。」 皇太后曰：「皆神宗子，莫難如此分別，于次端王當立。」 知樞密院曾布曰：「章惇未嘗與臣等商議，如皇太后聖諭極當。」 尚書左丞蔡卞、中書門下侍郎許將相繼曰：「合依聖旨。」 皇太后又曰：「先帝嘗言，端王有福壽，且仁孝，不同諸王。」 於是惇為之默然。 乃召端王入，即皇帝位，皇太后權同處分軍國事。
Yuanfu 3, first month, jimao: Zhezong died. Empress Dowager Xiang drew the curtain and wept before the chief ministers: "Misfortune has struck the realm. The late emperor left no son. The throne must be settled at once." Zhang Dun spoke again: "Ritual law demands the younger uterine brother—Prince Jian." The Empress Dowager said: "Of Shenzong's sons, Prince Shen is eldest but blind in one eye; next in order stands Prince Duan." Dun answered in a harsh voice: "By years Shen is eldest; by law the uterine brother Jian is heir." The Empress Dowager said: "They are all Shenzong's sons—why split hairs? Next stands Prince Duan." Zeng Bu, Vice Director of Military Affairs, said: "Zhang Dun never took counsel with us; the Empress Dowager's word is wholly right." Cai Bian and Xu Jiang, in turn: "Let it follow the sacred edict." The Empress Dowager added: "The late emperor said Duan was blessed with fortune and years, humane and filial—unlike his brothers." At that Dun said no more. Prince Duan was called in and took the throne; Empress Dowager Xiang held regency over army and state.
