(Yiyou) Emperor Lizong of Song, named Yun, was enthroned, inaugurating the first year of the Baoqing era. Originally named Yuju, he was the son of Prince Xilu of Rong, a tenth-generation descendant of Taizu. Emperor Ningzong had many sons, none of whom survived to adulthood; he reared Xun, a son of the imperial clan, and made him crown prince, but Xun passed away. Earlier, the Emperor's cousin, Prince Jinghui of Yi named Bing, had no sons, so he had taken a child of the imperial clan, conferred on him the name Guihe, and made him his heir. When Crown Prince Xun was lost, Guihe was then installed as imperial prince, bestowed the name Hong, and enfeoffed as Duke of the State of Ji. Hong was clever but frivolous; he deeply resented Shi Miyuan's monopolization of power and declared that one day he would not tolerate it. Miyuan heard of this, detested him, and secretly plotted against him. Yuju had not enjoyed playful amusements as a youth; whenever the children gathered to play, he would sit alone on a high seat, motionless. The elders pointed at him and told the children, "Why do you not emulate this boy? He resembles a great king!" The children would constantly assemble and bow beneath him, so he gained the moniker "Prince Zhao." Miyuan searched for and discovered him. Yuju had previously qualified for imperial recommendations; by special decree, he was appointed to office. Once Hong became Ningzong's son, Yuju was made heir to the Prince of Yi, was given the name Guicheng, and was appointed Defense Commissioner of Shaozhou. When Ningzong fell critically ill, Miyuan reported to the Inner Palace, had Guicheng made imperial prince, changed his name to Yun, proclaimed the testamentary edict, and enthroned him. Hong was promoted to Commandery Prince of Jiyang and sent out to govern the Superior Prefecture of Ningguo. Empress Dowager Gongsheng, née Yang, administered affairs of state; only after all was settled was the screen withdrawn. He lived to sixty-one.
