己亥，上大渐，以江州刺史桂阳王休范为司空，又以尚书右仆射褚渊为护军将军，加中领军刘勔右仆射，诏渊、勔与尚书令袁粲、荆州刺史蔡兴宗、郢州刺史沈攸之并受顾命。褚渊素与萧道成善，引荐于上，诏又以道成为右卫将军，领卫尉，与袁粲等共掌机事。是夕，上殂。庚子，太子即皇帝位，大赦。时苍梧王方十岁，袁粲、褚渊秉政，承太宗奢侈之后，务弘节俭，欲救其弊；而阮佃夫、王道隆等用事，货赂公行，不能禁也。
乙巳，以安成王准为扬州刺史。
五月，戊寅，葬明皇帝于高宁陵，庙号太宗。六月，乙巳，尊皇后曰皇太后，立妃江氏为皇后。
秋，七月，柔然部帅无卢真将三万骑寇魏敦煌，镇将尉多侯击走之。多侯，眷之子也。又寇晋昌，守将薛奴击走之。
