In the seventh month of the second year of Jingping, the young emperor was deposed.

When the mobile secretariat reached Jiangling, the imperial seal and ribbon were presented. Attendant-in-ordinary Chen Qiu, Regular Attendant Chen Yanzhi, Director of the Secretariat Chen Liang, Duke of Jiancheng, General of the Left Guard Chen Jingren, Colonel of the Garrison Cavalry and Marquis of Longxiang Chen Long, Colonel of the Fleet Cavalry and Marquis of Duting Chen Gang, Gentleman-Attendant of the Yellow Gate Chen Kong Zhizhi, Regular Attendant Liu Sikao, Supernumerary Regular Attendant Pan Sheng, Gentleman of the Secretariat He Shangzhi, Supervisor of the Forest of Feathers and Marquis of Fengyang Xiao Sihua, Acting Left Director of the Secretariat and Marquis of Deyang Sun Kang, Director of the Ministry of Personnel and Commandant of Cavalry Zhang Maodu, Director of the Bureau of Rites Xu Changlin, Director of the Bureau of Granaries Yu Junzhi, Director of the Bureau of Justice Yuan Xun, and others submitted a memorial: "We have heard that fortune and misfortune turn upon one another, and that when a cycle reaches its end, change must come — this is why Heaven's way never grows stale and why a dynasty's ordained span may endure. Of late the times had turned adverse, the royal house languished in hardship, the allegiance of the realm had nowhere to settle, and the founding emperor's legacy seemed ready to collapse. By your profound virtue and deep roots, men and spirits alike gave their support, the altars of state were secured, and the people found peace. We respectfully observe that Your Majesty's sovereign virtue is innate, your sagely brilliance holds the throne, filial piety and brotherly duty distinguish your house and realm, and your influence reaches even the frontier provinces. Hence auspicious signs multiplied, and portents blazed forth in splendor. The spirits of the ancestral temples turned westward in favor, and all the lands and peoples looked to your radiance and entrusted themselves to your rule. We who bear office at court are honored to fulfill this mission, gathered once more in an age of splendor and again witnessing the advent of great peace. Now that the mobile secretariat has arrived and we gaze upon the capital walls, we cannot contain our joy; we respectfully come to the gate to bow and submit this memorial." The Emperor replied: "The imperial fortune has been sorely tried, and our age has met repeated adversity. Looking up to the lofty foundation, I mourn the past of the state and grieve for him without cease, grief and indignation mingling together. By the seven hundred years of enduring fortune and by loyal, worthy servants of the throne, adversity was turned to prosperity and Heaven and men were set in order. Unworthy as I am, I have wrongly received the great mandate; looking back on myself I tremble with fear — how could I bear such a burden? I shall presently return to court, pay mourning rites at the imperial tombs, and together with worthy ministers lay bare what is in our hearts. I hope you will understand my heart and spare me excessive polite refusals." The prefectural and provincial aides and clerks all styled themselves subjects and asked that placards be inscribed on every gate according to palace standards; the Emperor did not consent. On jiaxu, he set out from Jiangling. On bingshen in the eighth month, the imperial carriage reached the capital. On dingyou, he paid homage at the Chuning Mausoleum, returned to the central hall, and there took the imperial throne.

An edict said: "When a sage king governs the world, he extends his keen hearing in every direction, yet still tours the sacred mountains and inspects the regions, gathering reports and observing how government is conducted. Thus truth and falsehood are surely sifted, the remote and hidden are not neglected, royal favor reaches everywhere, and word of grievance rises from the farthest corners. I, of paltry virtue, have presumptuously succeeded to the great succession. Though I forever bear governance in mind and rise before dawn with intent fixed upon worthy counsel, the reclusive talents of hill and garden remain unrevealed, and the people's hidden circumstances still lie beyond my sight and hearing. For the sake of the realm I have set aside sleep and forgotten my meals. Now the baleful vapors have been swept away and the realm is tranquil; to raise the worthy and spread enlightened rule begins from this moment. Grand envoys may be dispatched to tour the four quarters. Capable prefects and magistrates, and worthies of the humblest station however slight their merit, are to be reported in full detail, and nothing omitted. Where punishments and prisons lack compassion, where government errs, or where the people are harmed and teaching injured, the facts are to be reported in full. As for the elderly, widowers, orphans, the young without support, and those suffering the six kinds of infirmity who cannot sustain themselves, the commanderies and counties should measure out generous relief. Gather popular reports broadly, receive excellent counsel widely, and strive to exhaust the intent of your commission, as though I myself were reviewing it." On bingwu, the Emperor came to the Hall for Honoring the Worthy to hear cases.

On bingzi in the third month, an edict said: "Dantu is bound to me by native ties; the great enterprise began there — treading that soil I am forever mindful, and touched by it my feeling knows no limit. In former times Emperor Zhang of Han on his southern tour added favor to the Yuan clan; how much more when present affection and obligation are doubled, as in those former days. I mean to spread lingering bounty and repay and comfort the gentry and people. This county's tax cloth for this year is to be remitted; all punishments of five years or less are to be fully pardoned. Those who fought three assaults on the walls and the households of great generals are to receive condolence and relief as appropriate." On dinghai, the Emperor returned to the palace.

In the first month of spring in the fifth year, on yihai, an edict said: "I respectfully bear the great enterprise and preside over the four seas; custom and transformation are not yet widespread, and the way of governance remains obscure — seeking remedy in human affairs, I wake and sleep in worry alone. Moreover, of late yin and yang have lost their proper order, drought and pestilence have become calamities; looking up to these warnings, the blame lies deep in me. I consider how to examine myself, restrain my thoughts, deliberate on prisons and examine punishments, above to answer Heaven's reproof and below to ease the people's afflictions. You ministers and officials, each present loyal counsel, point out what is right and wrong, and hold nothing back." On jiashen, the Emperor came to the Black Tortoise Hall to review martial displays.

十九年正月乙巳，詔曰：「夫所因者本，聖哲之遠教； 本立化成，斆學之為貴。 故詔以三德，崇以四術，用能納諸義方，致之軌度。 盛王聖世，[26]咸必由之。 永初受命，憲章弘遠，將陶鈞庶品，混一殊風，有詔典司，大啟庠序，而頻遘屯夷，未及修建。 永瞻前猷，思敷鴻烈。 今方隅乂寧，戎夏慕嚮，廣訓冑子，實維時務。 便可式遵成規，闡揚景業。」
In the first month of the nineteenth year, on yisi, an edict said: "That upon which one relies is the root — the distant teaching of the sage and wise; when the root is established, transformation and cultivation follow; reverence for learning is what is prized. Therefore the injunction is given through the three virtues, and esteem is granted through the four arts, thereby enabling one to bring all into the paths of righteousness and lead them to proper measure. In an age of flourishing kings and sage rulers, [26] all must tread this path. At the beginning of the Yongchu reign, statutes and regulations were broad and far-reaching; we sought to mold the myriad classes and unify diverse customs. An edict was issued for the responsible offices to greatly open schools — yet we repeatedly encountered adversity and had not yet completed construction. Forever gazing upon the former design, we think to spread the grand enterprise. Now the four quarters are at peace, barbarians and Chinese alike look to us with admiration — broadly instructing the sons of the realm is truly the task of the age. Let us therefore follow established rules and proclaim the glorious enterprise."

On bingshen in the twelfth month, an edict said: "The sons of the realm are now gathered, and their studies are just flourishing. Since the subtle teachings were extinguished, nearly a thousand years have passed; moved by the matter, we think of those men, and our feeling is one of deep emotion. The descendants of the Sage may speedily be considered for succession. On the site of the former temple, a special establishment shall be built, and sacrificial officers shall be appointed as of old, with offerings at the four seasons. The village of Queli had in the past suffered bandit raids, and the school buildings were ruined; orders were also sent down to Lu Commandery to restore the school buildings and recruit students. Former sages and wise men, and even men of a single virtue, still had their mounds guarded and grazing forbidden upon them — how much more so Confucius, whose virtue stands as a model for the living and whose merit extends through a hundred generations, yet whose tomb and precinct lie waste and overgrown with thorns and brambles. Several households beside the tomb may be exempted from tax and corvée to maintain sweeping and cleaning." Five households of the leading families of Lu Commandery, including Kong Jing, who lived near Confucius's tomb, were exempted from tax and corvée and charged with sweeping and cleaning; six hundred pine and cypress trees were also planted.

In the twelfth month of winter, on gengwu, Internal Administrator of Shixing Tan Hezhi was appointed Governor of Jiao Province. On renwu, an edict said: "The state takes the people as its foundation, and the people take food as their heaven. Therefore if a single man ceases to farm, hunger must reach others. When the granaries are full, ritual and propriety arise. Of late everywhere has been destitute, and no household keeps stores overnight. When taxes and corvée fall unevenly, the people are filled with distress; When a year fails to yield a harvest, want and exhaustion afflict every household. This is truly because governmental virtue has not won trust, leading to such abuses; yet it is also because farming and sericulture have not been widely extended, and much of the land's benefit remains untapped. District magistrates have slighted the methods of transforming and guiding the people, and the common folk have forgotten the duty of diligent self-support. Ever speaking of broad relief, we awaken at dawn with this fixed in our hearts. Although regulations and orders have been issued repeatedly, in the end none have corrected or encouraged; yet to sit and expect increase and growth — how can that be achieved? The responsible offices shall proclaim the old statutes and strive to enforce cultivation fully. All who wander and idly eat shall be ordered to attach themselves to occupations; diligence and sloth shall be examined and verified, and rewards and punishments applied; ability and failure shall be observed, and demotion and promotion strictly enforced. In antiquity the ruler personally plowed the imperial field and reverently supplied the sacrificial grain; looking up to the former kings, we think to follow their established canon. Let a thousand mu be measured out and the auspicious day divined. We shall personally lead the hundred officials to perform the rites in the suburban fields, hoping that sincerity and plainness may reach the people."

Throughout Southern Xu, Yan, Yu, and the Yang-province commanderies west of the Zhe River, wheat cultivation is henceforth to be supervised everywhere to help offset the shortage. Seed wheat now growing in Pengcheng and Xiapi commanderies is to be shipped at once and lent out by the provincial governors. Xu and Yu provinces abound in paddy fields, yet the people had focused only on dry-land farming; the two military prefectures were instructed to inspect the old reservoirs, restore them in concert, and assign reclamation duties so the work would be finished by the next year. Every province and commandery is to make full use of its land, encourage cultivation, and raise mulberry, hemp, and ramie each in its proper season — not merely issue documents and consider the task done."

In the third month, on dingsi, [34] an edict said: "I have been far from the northern capital for more than twenty years; though it is called close at hand, I have had no path by which to go and look upon it. Now that the realm is at peace, the seasons are mild and the harvest plentiful, I have again been able to pay reverence at the ancestral tombs, fulfill boundless filial devotion, feast the elders of former days, and give voice to remembrance of those gone before. Righteous duty embraces one's native soil, affection redoubles on passing through Pei, and words of deep feeling linger — my gratitude and consolation are profound indeed. It is fitting to proclaim benevolence and grace at once, extending them over all the realm. A general amnesty was proclaimed throughout the realm. Half of this year's land tax and cloth levy was remitted for émigré natives of Dantu County. In every county along the imperial route, half of the field tax was remitted. All grand administrators and chief officials who have diligently served the royal cause should share in imperial favor. Universal relief and condolence were granted to households of those who fought three wall assaults and of great generals who fell in battle, and to the aged, sick, and destitute. Envoys were dispatched to tour among the people and inquire into their afflictions. Orphans and the elderly, widowers and widows, and those suffering the six kinds of infirmity who could not sustain themselves each received five hu of grain." 」Envoys were dispatched to sacrifice at the tomb of the former Jin Minister of Works, Loyal and Solemn Duke He Wuji. On yichou, tax remission was granted to the three commanderies of northern and southern Pei and Xiapi. Another edict said: "Jingkou has been a source of auspicious signs since antiquity and bore its emblem in recent times; girdled by rivers and mountains and facing the heartland, its roads reach in every direction and its advantages extend to the Huai and the sea. Its cities are lofty, its customs pure — gathering every strategic advantage, it is truly a famed capital. Therefore it could make the imperial spirit dwell in brightness and succeed in flourishing the dynastic enterprise. In recent years provincial governors have come and gone, soldiers and civilians have scattered, and markets, lanes, and dwellings no longer match former days. As the old home of the imperial foundation, its territory is both substantial and weighty; it should be made prosperous and its splendid standing restored. Several thousand households willing to relocate may be recruited from the provinces, granted fields and dwellings, and given remission of taxes and corvée."
196
五月丙寅，詔曰：「吾生於此城。 及盧循肆亂，害流茲境。 先帝以桑梓根本，實同休戚，復以蒙稚，猥同艱難，情義繾綣，夷險兼備，舊物遺蹤，猶存心目。 歲月不居，逝踰三紀，時人故老，與運零落。 眷惟既往，倍深感歎。 可搜訪于時士庶文武今尚存者，具以名聞。 人身已亡而子孫見在，優量賜賚之。」 車駕水路發丹徒，壬午，至京師。 丙戌，婆皇國，壬辰，婆達國，並遣使獻方物。
In the fifth month, on bingyin, an edict said: "I was born in this city. When Lu Xun raised rebellion, harm spread through this region. The former emperor took this native place as his root and truly shared its fortune and misfortune; I too, though still a child, unworthily shared those hardships. Affection and obligation were closely bound through ease and peril alike, and traces of former days still live in my mind and eye. Years and months do not linger; more than three sixty-year cycles have passed, and the elders of those days have fallen away with the times. Looking back on what has gone before, I am doubly moved to deep sighing. Search out civil and military gentry and commoners of that time who still survive, and report their names in full. Where the person himself is dead but descendants survive, grant generous rewards as appropriate. 」The Emperor set out from Dantu by water; on renwu, he reached the capital. On bingxu, the state of Bapong; on renchen, the state of Bada — both sent envoys bearing tribute.

史臣曰：太祖幼年特秀，顧無保傅之嚴，而天授和敏之姿，自禀君人之德。 及正位南面，歷年長久，綱維備舉，條禁明密，罰有恒科，爵無濫品。 故能內清外晏，四海謐如也。 昔漢氏東京常稱建武、永平故事，自茲厥後，亦每以元嘉為言，斯固盛矣。 授將遣帥，乖分閫之命，才謝光武，而遙制兵略，至於攻日戰時，莫不仰聽成旨。 雖覆師喪旅，將非韓、白，而延寇慼境，抑此之由。 及至言漏衾衽，難結商豎，雖禍生非慮，蓋亦有以而然也。 嗚呼哀哉！
The Historian writes: The Taizu was precociously brilliant. He had no strict tutors, yet heaven had given him a gentle, keen temperament, and he possessed by nature the virtue of a sovereign. Once enthroned, he ruled for many years. The institutions of government were complete, laws and prohibitions precise, punishments followed fixed standards, and ranks were never granted without cause. Within the realm there was order; without, peace — and the four seas were still. The Eastern Han had often held up the reigns of Jianwu and Yongping as models; afterward men spoke just as often of Yuanjia — an age indeed of greatness. Yet in appointing generals and sending out commanders he violated the rule that each border post should hold independent authority. His gifts did not match those of Emperor Guangwu, yet he directed strategy from afar; on the day of battle, every commander waited on his word from the capital. Armies were shattered and campaigns lost — not because his generals lacked the genius of Han Xin or Bai Qi, but because the enemy was allowed to linger and ravage the frontiers. This was the root of it. When secrets escaped even the imperial bedchamber and hard-won alliances unraveled, calamity may have seemed unforeseen — yet it had its causes. Alas — how grievous!
