辛亥，皇太后令曰：「司空、後將軍、丹陽尹、右僕射、中領軍、八座：夫明晦迭來，屯平代有，上靈所以眷命，億兆所以歸懷。 Day xinhai: the empress dowager ordered: "To the minister of works, the rear general, the administrator of Danyang, the right vice director, the central army-inspector-in-chief, and the eight seats: light and shadow take turns; hardship and peace succeed one another in their seasons—thus the high spirits bestow the mandate and the myriad folk set their hearts.
