八日，楊愔書中旨，以魏襄城王旭並司空公潘相樂、侍中張亮、黃門趙彥深入通奏事。 On the eighth day Yang Yin wrote the central order, sending Wei Prince of Xiangcheng Xu with grand master of ceremonies Pan Xiangyue, palace attendant Zhang Liang, and yellow gate Zhao Yanshen to report at court.

旭云：「五行遞運，有始有終，齊王聖德欽明，萬方歸仰，臣等昧死聞奏，願陛下則堯禪舜。」 Xu said, "The Five Agents turn in succession — all things have beginning and end. The Prince of Qi's sacred virtue is bright; the ten thousand regions look to him. We risk death to report: we pray Your Majesty will follow Yao in yielding to Shun."
