論曰：金川再亂，開泰、阿爾泰皆主以番攻番，遲回坐誤。 Commentary: When Jinchuan rebelled again, both Kai Tai and Aertai advocated letting natives fight natives, hesitating until the moment for action was lost.

阿爾泰與元俊劾桂林，此其意以軍國為重，不屑屑阿貴近、疏卑遠，宜若可成功，乃坐蜚語敗。 Aertai and Yuanjun impeached Guilin with the intent of putting military affairs first, disdaining to flatter the powerful while slighting the humble—one might have expected success, yet they were ruined by slander.
