[26. Yimao] Emperor Ningzong of Song ascended the throne, named Kuo (the eldest son of Guangzong, originally enfeoffed as King of Jia. When Xiaozong passed away, Guangzong was severely ill. Zhao Ruyu, Administrator of the Bureau of Military Affairs, secretly proposed the plan of enthronement. Knowing that Grand Empress Dowager Xiansheng was anxious about the dynastic altars, he wished to report the matter but found it difficult to locate the right person. There was Han Tuozhou, Administrator of the Palace Gate, who was the great-grandson of Qi and the son of the Grand Empress Dowager's younger sister; through him, they reported to the Grand Empress Dowager, who hung the curtain of state and ushered the King of Jia in to ascend the throne). The era name was changed to Qingyuan. (On the first day of the third month, there was a solar eclipse; a rainbow pierced the sun; earth rained down.)
