(Forty-seventh [year of Suzong], renyin) The era was changed to Baoying. In the fourth month, on the gengxu day, the bhikṣuṇī Zhenru of Longxing Monastery in Chuzhou felt as if someone received her; she ascended to heaven and had an audience with the Heavenly Emperor. The Emperor conferred thirteen treasures upon her and said to Zhenru: "The Central Realm faces disasters; you should quell them using the second treasure." On the jiazi day, Cui Shen, Prefect of Chuzhou, submitted a memorial presenting them to the court. The first was called the Dark Yellow Heavenly Tally (shaped like a tablet, eight inches long and two inches wide, of yellow jade, with an inscription reading "Warding off weapons"). The second was called the Jade Fowl (fully endowed with plumage, of white jade). The third was called the Grain Bi-disc (six inches in diameter, naturally patterned with millet grains, of white jade). The fourth was called the Queen Mother of the West's Rings, two pieces (seven inches in diameter, of white jade). The fifth was called the Jade-Green Treasure (round and luminous). The sixth was called the Wish-Fulfilling Pearl (shaped like an egg, with a light like the moon). The seventh was called the Red Mohé (as large as a giant millet grain). The eighth was called the Langgan Pearls, two pieces (two inches long). The ninth was called the Jade Jue (like an annular ring missing one quarter). The tenth was called the Jade Seal (having markings like a deer; when stamped on an object, the form of a deer is imprinted). The eleventh was called the Empress's Mulberry-Picking Hook (six inches long, shaped like bent chopsticks, its tip colored like gold and also like silver). The twelfth was called the Axe of the Thunder God (two inches long and two inches wide). The thirteenth was […] (the history loses its name). The Emperor viewed them with great delight; when placed in the sunlight, a white vapor connected to heaven. He named them the Treasures of State Pacification. Because they were presented from Chuzhou—the realm where the Crown Prince was first enfeoffed—and hearing that the Central Plains faced disasters that should be quelled by the second treasure, the Emperor thereupon decreed that the Crown Prince act as regent over state affairs, and granted a great amnesty to all under heaven.
