（辛酉）　武帝炎改會昌（穆宗第五子。母韋太后。仇士良臨死謂同類曰。天子奢泆不道。勿令讀書親儒者。後服丹藥。其性躁急喜怒不常。年三十四而崩。在位六年）帝自幼稚不喜釋氏。是年正月即位。七月桂州馬生三足駒。至秋九月召道士趙歸真等八十一人入禁中。於三殿修金籙道場。冬十月帝幸三殿。升九仙玄壇親受法籙。左拾遺王哲諫云。王業之初。不宜崇信太過。帝不納。

(Xinyou) Emperor Wuzong, Yan, changed the reign era to Huichang. (He was the fifth son of Muzong; his mother was Empress Dowager Wei. When Qiu Shiliang was on the brink of death, he told his cohorts, "The Son of Heaven is extravagant, profligate, and devoid of the Way; do not allow him to read books or draw close to Confucians." Later he ingested elixir pills; his temperament was impatient and hasty, and his joy and anger were unpredictable. He died at the age of thirty-four, having reigned for six years.) From his childhood, the Emperor had disliked the Buddhist teachings. In the first month of this year, he ascended the throne. In the seventh month, in Guizhou, a horse gave birth to a three-legged foal. Coming to the autumn, in the ninth month, he summoned eighty-one Daoist priests, including Zhao Guizhen, into the forbidden palace to conduct the Golden Register Daoist rite in the Three Halls. In the winter, in the tenth month, the Emperor went to the Three Halls, ascended the Mysterious Altar of the Nine Immortals, and personally received the registers of the teachings. Wang Zhe, Exhorter of the Left, remonstrated: "At the beginning of your royal enterprise, you ought not revere and trust [Daoism] to excess." The Emperor did not accept his advice.
