In the sixth month, the Song enfeoffed Tong Guan as Prince of Guangyang Commandery. In the Song dynasty, whenever someone had a different surname and was not an imperial relative by marriage, none were enfeoffed as princes. When Cai Jing was in power, he upheld the doctrine of 'continuing and narrating' [reforms] to support his treacherous schemes, subsequently bestowing the posthumous title Prince of Shu upon Wang Anshi, and thereafter the posthumous title Prince of Qinghe Commandery upon He Zhizhong; the rank of prince thus became indiscriminate. In the twelfth month, Tong Guan again served as Pacification Commissioner, but fled back from Taiyuan (Song jian).
