In the dingwei year, the second year of Jingkang (1127), in the first month (which began on the day xinmao), on the gengzi day, the Jurchen Nianhan sent an emissary summoning the Emperor to his camp. The Emperor appointed Sun Chuan and Xie Kejia to assist the Crown Prince in overseeing state affairs, with Chuan concurrently serving as Regent of the Capital and Mei Zhili as his deputy. The Emperor departed the city. Vice Director of the Left He Li and those below followed the Emperor to Qingcheng and met with Nianhan, who detained him within the camp. They also detained the imperial princes, Grand Councilors, Council of State officials, members of the Hanlin Academy, and officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, ordering the rest to return first. The Jurchens made a thorough search for gold and silver. The Emperor dispatched an eunuch messenger to return and announce: 'We are detained here; only when the quantity of gold and silver is fully met may We return.' Thereupon, more officials were appointed to exhaustively search, digging through and pillaging the homes of imperial in-laws, imperial clansmen, inner attendants, Buddhist and Daoist monastics, and artisans. In all of eight days, they obtained 308,000 ounces of gold, 6,000,000 ounces of silver, and 1,000,000 bolts of silk fabric, all delivered to the Jurchen camp. In the second month, on the dingyou day, Nianhan sent the Jin-ya Gentleman to reprimand them. They also unearthed the buried stores of concealed gold and silver belonging to Meng Zizhu of the Imperial Music Bureau, the inner attendant Lan Zhe, and the medical officer Zhou Daolong. Within eighteen days, 75,800 ounces of gold, 1,145,000 ounces of silver, and 40,084 bolts of fabric were obtained from inside the city and delivered before the Jurchen army. On the dingsi day, the Jurchens demanded the ritual paraphernalia for the suburban sacrifice to Heaven, as well as the printing blocks for the Directorate of Education's canonical writings and historical records. On the wuwu day, the Jurchens demanded the Dacheng musical instruments, the ceremonial vessels of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, and even zithers, chess and board games, rare curios, and paintings. On the bingyin day, Nianhan ordered Xiao Qing to read the edict of the Jin ruler to the Emperor, stating: 'Another person of a different surname shall be established; Yuansheng is deposed as Prince of Chenliu, to guard the ancestral tombs in Baozhou. Let one of a different surname who is capable of being a sovereign of the people be chosen, and let the investiture rituals be prepared before the army.' They further summoned the Retired Emperor to leave the city. On the dingmao day, the Retired Empress, consorts, and over thirty individuals including the Prince of Yun, together with various imperial consorts, princesses, and imperial sons-in-law, all followed him. In the third month, on the dingyou day, the Jurchens invested Zhang Bangchang as emperor, with the state title of Great Chu. On the dingsi day, the Retired Emperor journeyed north. Empress Ningde, the various imperial princes, and royal concubines and below all departed, taking the route through Huazhou under the escort of Wolibu's army. In the fourth month (which began on the day gengshen), on the first day, Emperor Yuansheng journeyed north, accompanied by the Empress and Crown Prince, taking the route through Zhengzhou under the escort of Nianhan's army. Yuansheng led the Empress and various princes to bow from afar toward the city, weeping in farewell to the ancestral temple; their wailing shook Qingcheng. On the gengwu day, Empress Meng of the Yuanyou era began to administer state affairs from behind a lowered screen. Bangchang retired to the Zishan Hall in his capacity as Grand Councilor. (Bangchang usurped the throne for thirty-three days in all. Empress Dowager Meng of the Yuanyou era was the empress of Emperor Zhezong. At that time, all those in the six palaces with title accompanied the two emperors; she alone was spared because she had previously been deposed.) On the guihai day, the assembled ministers petitioned the Prince of Kang to ascend the imperial throne. On the xinxi day, the Prince of Kang reached Shan Prefecture. On the renwu day, he arrived at Yucheng County. When Bangchang heard that the imperial carriage had arrived at the Southern Capital, he prepared the imperial carriages, crowns, robes, and ceremonial paraphernalia. The hundred officials and state bureaus proceeded to the Southern Capital, each according to their post, to prepare the investiture ceremony. On the guiwei day, the Prince of Kang halted at Yingtian Prefecture (present-day Guide Prefecture; called Songzhou under the Sui; in the Yu region). The next day, he proceeded to Hongqing Palace to pay homage to the imperial portraits in the Three Halls. Zhang Bangchang arrived, prostrated on the ground, wept bitterly, and begged for punishment. The Prince consoled him. On the jiashen day, Geng Nanzhong and others deliberated and changed the reign era to Jianyan, commemorating the auspicious fire virtue of the Song. On the wuzi day, the Empress Dowager dispatched an emissary bearing a personal letter, which read in brief: 'Now I hear that an auspicious hour has been chosen and the time for your investiture draws near. You shall shine forth like the sun and moon, and issue your commands like wind and thunder. That to which Heaven’s mandate belongs, the common people revere with all their hearts. Now that the sacred vessel is secured, this frail elder’s lifelong wish is fulfilled.' Thereupon, on the jichou day, the Prince of Kang ascended the imperial throne at the Southern Capital.
