御史大夫唐括貢、中丞李晏、刑部尚書兼右諫議大夫完顏守貞等亦皆言不可，上初從之，既而竟用襄議，令有司移報，使明知聖誕之實，特改其日以示優待行人之意。 The Censor-in-Chief Tangut Gong, Vice Censor-in-Chief Li Yan, Minister of Justice and Right Remonstrance Officer Wanyan Shouzhen, and others also all opposed the change. The emperor at first followed them, but in the end adopted Xiang's proposal and ordered the responsible offices to notify the foreign court so that the envoys would know the true sacred birthday and understand that the day had been specially changed to show favor toward traveling envoys.
