明皇帝諱叡,字元仲,文帝太子也。生而太祖愛之,常令在左右。〈《魏書》曰:帝生數歲而有岐嶷之姿,武皇帝異之,曰:「我基於爾三世矣。」每朝宴會同,與侍中近臣並列帷幄。好學多識,特留意於法理。〉年十五,封武德侯,黃初二年爲齊公,三年爲平原王。以其母誅,故未建爲嗣。〈《魏略》曰:文帝以郭后無子,詔使子養帝。帝以母不以道終,意甚不平。後不獲已,乃敬事郭后,旦夕因長御問起居,郭后亦自以無子,遂加慈愛。文帝始以帝不恱,有意欲以他姬子京兆王爲嗣,故久不拜太子。魏末傳曰:帝常從文帝獵,見子母鹿。文帝射殺鹿母,使帝射鹿子,帝不從,曰:「陛下已殺其母,臣不忍復殺其子。」因涕泣。文帝即放弓箭,以此深奇之,而樹立之意定。〉七年夏五月,帝病篤,乃立爲皇太子。丁巳,即皇帝位,大赦。尊皇太后曰太皇太后,皇后曰皇太后。諸臣封爵各有差。〈《世語》曰:帝與朝士素不接,即位之後,羣下想聞風采。居數日,獨見侍中劉曄,語盡日。衆人側聽,曄旣出,問「何如」?曄曰:「秦始皇、漢孝武之儔,才具微不及耳。」〉癸未,追謚母甄夫人曰文昭皇后。壬辰,立皇弟蕤爲陽平王。
