皇帝升禦坐，知閣門官以下並內侍都知、禦帶以下一班起居，次管軍一班起居，次宰執以下常起居訖，左仆射陳康伯、知樞密院事葉義問、參知政事汪澈、同知樞密院事黃祖舜升殿奏曰：“臣等不才，輔政累年，罪戾山積，乃蒙容貸，不賜誅責。 The emperor ascended the throne. The Director of the Gatehouse and below, together with the Director of the Inner Service and Imperial Girdle Attendants, reported on the emperor's health in one rank; next the commanders of the guard did so; then the chief ministers reported as usual. Left Vice Director Chen Kangbo, Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs Ye Yiwen, Vice Director of the Secretariat Wang Che, and Associate Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs Huang Zushun ascended the hall and said: "We are without talent and have assisted in government for many years. Our offenses are piled like mountains, yet we have been spared execution or punishment.

左仆射陳康伯撰太上皇帝冊文，兼禮儀使、參政汪澈書冊文並篆寶，知樞密院葉義問撰太上皇后冊文，同知樞密院事黃祖舜書冊文。 Left Vice Director Chen Kangbo drafted the Supreme Emperor's patent text. Concurrent Commissioner of Ceremonial Propriety and Vice Grand Councilor Wang Che inscribed the patent text and carved the seal in seal script. Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs Ye Yiwen drafted the Supreme Empress's patent text, and Vice Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs Huang Zushun inscribed it.

次行奉冊之禮，中書令、參知政事史浩讀冊，攝侍中葉義問讀寶，讀訖，退復位。 Next came the rite of presenting the patent. Director of the Secretariat and Vice Grand Councilor Shi Hao read the patent, and Acting Palace Attendant Ye Yiwen read the seal. When the reading was finished, they withdrew and returned to their places.

授右迪功郎、禮、兵部架閣，以御史葉義問劾之，改監潭州南嶽廟，給劄歸抄所著《通志》。 He was made Right Junior Merit Officer and war and rites archivist; Censor Ye Yiwen attacked him, so he became superintendent of Tanzhou's Southern Mountain temple, with orders to go home and copy his 《Comprehensive Treatises》.
