Original paragraph 153 of 225

十一月癸巳朔，南唐遣其弟從善，吳越國王遣其子惟濬，以郊祀來朝貢。南唐主煜表乞去國號呼名，從之。庚戌，詔諸道所罷攝官三任無遺闕者以聞。河決澶州，通判姚恕坐不即上聞，棄市。己未，日南至，有事南郊，大赦，十惡、故劫殺、官吏受贓者不原。詔置諸州幕職官奉戶。壬戌，蜀班內殿直四十人，援御馬直例乞賞，遂撾登聞鼓，命各杖二十；翌日，悉斬於營，都指揮單斌等皆杖、降。

English

In the eleventh month, on the first day, guisi, the Southern Tang sent the ruler's younger brother Congshan, and the King of Wuyue sent his son Weijun, to court with tribute for the suburban sacrifice. Yu, ruler of the Southern Tang, submitted a memorial asking to give up the name of his state and to be addressed by his personal name, and the emperor agreed. On gengxu, an edict ordered the circuits to report those among the dismissed acting officials who had served three terms without fault. The Yellow River breached its banks at Chan Prefecture; the Controller-general Yao Shu was found guilty of failing to report it at once and was executed in the marketplace. On jiwei, the day of the winter solstice, the emperor performed the sacrifice at the southern suburb, and there was a great amnesty, from which the Ten Abominations, deliberate robbery with murder and officials' taking of bribes were excluded. An edict ordered that households be assigned to provide the salaries of the staff officials of the prefectures. On renxu, forty men of the Shu Company of Inner Palace Duty Officers, citing the precedent of the Imperial Horse Guard, asked for rewards and beat the Complaints Drum; they were ordered to be given twenty strokes each. The next day all of them were beheaded at their camp, and their Commander-in-chief Shan Bin and others were all beaten and demoted.
