釋鑑稽古略續集 2.12

2.12

定天子祭祀冕服　定宗廟時享之禮　禁宦官不得典兵預政　王褘疏。人君修德之要。忠厚以為心。寬大以為政。二者君德之大端　元都城紅氣滿空。如火照人。越二日黑氣起。百步內不見人　元主集后妃太子群臣。會議於端明殿。忽有二狐自殿上出。元主曰。此天所以告朕。朕其可留哉。至夜半遂開建德門北去。如上都　京城天鼓鳴。大赦天下與民更始。惟十惡不赦　設六部官職以分理天下庶務。下詔求賢。

The sacrificial robes and caps for the Son of Heaven's offerings were determined. The seasonal ancestral temple offering rituals were determined. Eunuchs were prohibited from commanding troops or meddling in state affairs. Wang Wei submitted a memorial: "The essential for a sovereign to cultivate virtue lies in taking loyalty and generosity as his mind, and leniency and broadness as his governance. These two are the great guidelines of a sovereign's virtue." In the capital of the Yuan, red vapor filled the sky, shining upon people like fire. Two days later, black vapor arose, such that people could not be seen within a hundred paces. The Yuan ruler gathered the empress, concubines, crown prince, and ministers to hold a council in the Duanming Hall. Suddenly, two foxes emerged from the hall. The Yuan ruler said: "This is how Heaven informs We; how can We remain?" At midnight, he opened Jiande Gate and went north, traveling to Shangdu. In the capital, celestial drums sounded; a great amnesty was granted to all under Heaven to start anew with the people, excepting only the ten abominations from pardon. The official positions of the Six Ministries were established to divide and manage all the affairs of the realm. An edict was issued to seek out worthy men.
