昔我皇祖武宗皇帝升遐之後，祖母太皇太后惑於憸慝，俾皇考明宗皇帝出封雲南。 英宗遇害，正統浸偏，我皇考以武宗之嫡，逃居朔漠，宗王大臣同心翊戴，肇啟大事，於時以地近，先迎文宗，暫總機務。 繼知天理人倫之攸當，假讓位之名，以寶璽來上，皇考推誠不疑，即授以皇太子寶。 文宗稔惡不悛，當躬迓之際，乃與其臣月魯不花、也裏牙、明裏董阿等謀為不軌，使我皇考飲恨上賓。 歸而再禦宸極，思欲自解於天下，乃謂夫何數日之間，宮車弗駕。 海內聞之，靡不切齒。 又私圖傳子，乃構邪言，嫁禍於八不沙皇后，謂朕非明宗之子，遂俾出居遐陬。 祖宗大業，幾於不繼。 內懷愧慊，則殺也裏牙以杜口。 上天不佑，隨降殞罰。 叔嬸不答失裏，怙其勢焰，不立明考之冢嗣，而立孺稚之弟懿璘質班，奄復不年，諸王大臣以賢以長，扶朕踐位。 國之大政，屬不自遂者，詎能枚舉。 每念治必本於盡孝，事莫先於正名，賴天之靈。 權奸屏黜，盡孝正名，不容復緩，永惟鞠育罔極之恩，忍忘不共戴天之義。 既往之罪，不可勝誅，其命太常徹去脫脫木兒在廟之主。 不答失裏本朕之嬸，乃陰構奸臣，弗體朕意，僭膺太皇太后之號，跡其閨門之禍，離間骨肉，罪惡尤重，揆之大義，削去鴻名，徙東安州安置。 燕帖古思昔雖幼沖，理難同處，朕終不陷於覆轍，專務殘酷，惟放諸高麗，當時賊臣月魯不花、也裏牙已死，其以明裏董阿等明正典刑。
Formerly, after my imperial ancestor Emperor Wuzong passed away, my grandmother the empress dowager was misled by the wicked and caused my imperial father Emperor Mingzong to be enfeoffed and sent out to Yunnan. When Emperor Yingzong was murdered, the legitimate succession was gradually skewed. My imperial father, as the legitimate son of Wuzong, fled to dwell in the northern deserts. The princes and great ministers united in heart to support him and began the great enterprise. At that time, because the distance was near, Wenzong was first welcomed to provisionally oversee state affairs. Subsequently, knowing what was proper in heavenly principle and human relations, he borrowed the name of yielding the throne and brought up the imperial seal. My imperial father trusted him in good faith and at once bestowed upon him the crown prince's seal. Wenzong, long steeped in evil and unrepentant, at the very moment of going forth to welcome him in person plotted treason with his ministers Yelu Buqa, Yiliya, Mingli Dong'a, and others, causing my imperial father to die with resentment unavenged. Returning to mount the throne again, wishing to explain himself to the realm, he said only: how could the imperial carriage fail within a few days? When the realm heard of it, all gnashed their teeth in rage. He further plotted privately to pass the throne to his son. He fabricated wicked words and shifted blame onto Empress Babusha, saying that I was not the son of Mingzong, and thus caused me to be sent to dwell in a distant corner. The great enterprise of the ancestors was nearly not continued. Harbouring guilt within, he then killed Yiliya to silence witnesses. Heaven did not protect him, and punishment of death soon descended. My aunt Budashiri, relying on her power and arrogance, did not establish the heir of Mingzong but established his infant younger brother Yishan Timur. He too soon died young. The princes and great ministers, considering worth and seniority, supported me in ascending the throne. As for the great affairs of state that were not at my own disposal, how could they be enumerated one by one? Whenever I reflect that governance must be rooted in fulfilling filial piety and that no affair comes before rectifying names, I rely on the spirit of Heaven. The powerful traitors have been removed. To fulfill filial piety and rectify names brooks no further delay. Ever mindful of the boundless grace of nurture, how could I bear to forget the duty of an irreconcilable enemy? Past crimes cannot be punished to exhaustion. I order the Court of Imperial Sacrifices to remove Togh Toq's spirit tablet from the temple. Budashiri was originally my aunt by marriage, yet she secretly plotted with traitorous ministers, did not understand my intent, and presumptuously assumed the title of empress dowager. Tracing the calamities of her inner chambers, she estranged flesh and blood, and her crimes were especially grave. Measured by great righteousness, her exalted title is stripped away and she is transferred for settlement in Dong'an Prefecture. Although Yantughus was once young and immature, by principle he could hardly remain together with me. I will ultimately not fall into the error of the overturned cart and devote myself solely to cruelty. I only release him to Goryeo. At that time the traitorous ministers Yelu Buqa and Yiliya were already dead. Let Mingli Dong'a and others be punished according to the proper statutes.

In the first year of Zhizheng, on the new moon of the jiyou day of the first month of spring, the era name was changed. The edict stated:
25
朕惟帝王之道，德莫大於克孝，治莫大於得賢。 朕早歷多難，入紹大統，仰思祖宗付托之重，戰兢惕勵，於茲八年。 慨念皇考，久勞於外，甫即大命，四海觖望，夙夜追慕，不忘於懷。 乃以至元六年十月初四日，奉玉冊、玉寶，追上皇考曰順天立道睿文智武大聖孝皇帝，被服袞冕，祼於太室，式展孝誠。 十有一月六日，勉徇大禮慶成之請，禦大明殿受群臣朝。 爰自去春，疇咨於眾，以知樞密院事馬劄兒臺為太師、右丞相，以正百官，以親萬民。 尋即控辭，養疾私第，再三諭旨，勉令就位，自春徂秋，其請益固。 朕憫其勞日久，察其至誠，不忍煩之以政，俾解機務，仍為太師。 而知樞密院事脫脫，早歲輔朕，克著忠貞，乃命為中書右丞相； 宗正劄魯忽赤帖木兒不花，嘗歷政府，嘉績著聞，為中書左丞相，並錄軍國重事。 夫三公論道，以輔予德，二相總政，以弼予治，其以至元七年為至正元年，與天下更始。
I reflect that in the way of emperors and kings, no virtue is greater than fulfilling filial piety, and no governance is greater than obtaining the worthy. I early endured many hardships and entered to continue the great succession. Looking up, I ponder the heavy trust the ancestors conferred, and in fear and vigilance I have exerted myself for eight years now. Sighing in remembrance of the imperial father, long toiling abroad, who had just received the great mandate when the realm was disappointed in its hopes, day and night I pursue my longing and do not forget it in my breast. Therefore on the fourth day of the tenth month of the sixth year of Zhiyuan, jade registers and a jade seal were presented to honor the imperial father as Emperor of Filial Sagacity, Sagely and Martial, of Sagacious Culture and Wisdom, who accords with Heaven and establishes the Way. Robed in ceremonial dress, I poured the libation in the Grand Chamber to display filial sincerity. On the sixth day of the eleventh month, reluctantly acceding to the request that the great rite's celebration was complete, I proceeded to the Hall of Great Brightness to receive the court's homage. From last spring, consulting the multitude, I appointed Mažiltai, director of the Bureau of Military Affairs, as grand preceptor and right chief minister to rectify the hundred officials and be close to the myriad people. Soon he submitted a petition of resignation and nursed illness in his private residence. Again and again I issued edicts urging him to take his post, but from spring to autumn his request grew firmer. I pitied his long labor and perceived his utmost sincerity. Unwilling to trouble him further with government, I had him released from state affairs while he remained grand preceptor. Toqto, director of the Bureau of Military Affairs, who in early years assisted me and proved loyal and steadfast, was then appointed right chief minister of the Secretariat; Jarlugchi Temür Buqa, who had served in government and whose fine achievements were well known, was made left chief minister of the Secretariat and concurrently recorded matters of military and state importance. The three dukes discuss the Way to assist my virtue; the two chancellors oversee government to aid my rule. Let the seventh year of Zhiyuan become the first year of Zhizheng, and begin anew with the realm.
