嘉靖十八年二月封裕王，與莊敬太子、景恭王同日受冊。 In the second month of Jiajing eighteen he was enfeoffed as Prince of Yu, invested on the same day as Crown Prince Zhuangjing and Prince Jing Gong.

已而莊敬薨，世宗以王長且賢，繼序已定，而中外危疑，屢有言者，乃令景王之國。 When Crown Prince Zhuangjing died soon after, Shizong—holding that the Prince of Yu was eldest and worthy and the succession already settled, though court and realm remained uneasy and many spoke out—sent Prince Jing to his fief.
