甲申天順八年正月。上不豫。處置勿以嬪御殉葬。為盛德事　十七日上崩　二十二日。皇太子即位。大赦天下　年富剛正敢為。卒諡恭定　薛瑄諡文清。所著讀書錄多名言　李賢請。復于謙等官。以雪冤柱　盛顒為官。有清如水。明如鏡之謠。

The eighth year of Tianshun, jiashan, first month: The Emperor was indisposed. He arranged that imperial consorts should not be buried alive with him, which was an act of great virtue. On the seventeenth day, the Emperor passed away. On the twenty-second day, the Crown Prince ascended the throne and proclaimed a great amnesty throughout the realm. Nian Fu was upright, unyielding, and daring in action; upon death, he was given the posthumous name Gongding. Xue Xuan was given the posthumous name Wenqing; his work Dushu lu contains many famous sayings. Li Xian requested the restoration of Yu Qian and others to their offices in order to clear their wrongful grievances. While Sheng Yong served as an official, there was a popular saying: "Pure as water, bright as a mirror."
