In the first month of the gengshen year, the courier station of Zhending reported that Northern Han had allied with the barbarians to invade. The Emperor commanded Inspector Zhao Kuangyin to lead a northern campaign. The army set out that very day and arrived at the Chenqiao courier station in the evening. That night at the fifth drum, soldiers drew their blades and stood in lines in the courtyard, saying, 'The lords have no master; we wish to acclaim the Grand Commander as Son of Heaven.' They escorted him and compelled him to return south, entering through the Renhe Gate. The Grand Commander returned to the government office. Chancellor Fan Zhi and others proceeded to the Chongyuan Hall and summoned all civil and military officials; by late afternoon the ranks were settled. The Emperor issued an edict from within, saying: 'Heaven creates the teeming people and sets shepherds over them. The two ancient emperors abdicated out of public spirit, and the three founding kings revolted in accordance with the times; their underlying principle was one and the same. I, an insignificant lad, have met with familial misfortune; the people's hearts have already departed, and the mandate of the state has found its proper home. Ah, you, Zhao Kuangyin, Military Commissioner of Guide and Chief Inspector of the Palace Command, are endowed with the qualities of supreme sagehood and possess the stratagems of divine martiality. You assisted my High Ancestor to reach the August Heaven; serving through to Emperor Shizong, your merit resided in offering aid. When you campaigned in the east, the western borders felt longing; your accomplishments were abundant. Heaven, Earth, ghosts, and spirits accept the offerings of the virtuous; songs of praise and legal appeals turn toward the supremely benevolent. Responding to Heaven and according with humanity, emulating Yao and abdicating in the manner of Shun, it is as if a heavy burden were lifted; I shall become your guest. Oh, be reverent! Revere the Mandate of Heaven with awe.' The Commissioner of Palace Ceremonial led Kuangyin to the courtyard steps to hear the decree. The chancellors assisted him up into the hall, where he donned the imperial robes from the eastern wall and ascended the throne. The ministers offered court congratulations. An edict changed the seventh year of the Xiande era of the Zhou to the first year of the Jianlong era, and the state was named the Great Song; this was the fourth day of the first month. Emperor Gong was enfeoffed as Prince of Zheng; to continue the sacrifices of the Zhou, he was relocated to reside in the Western Capital (Luoyang). He passed away in the sixth year of the Kaibao era. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.523](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.523) - [Next: 3.525](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.525) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037~en-mt.3.524) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.524](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.524) · Pramāṇa
