Draft History of Qing, Chapter 246Volume 246 Biographies 33: Tan Tai, He Luohui, Xi Tu Ku, Bo Er Hui, Leng Sengji · 17 passages

八年二月，蘇克薩哈等訐睿親王將率兩白旗移駐永平，且私具上服禦，及薨用斂，何洛會、羅什、博爾惠等皆知狀。 In the second month of the eighth year Sukesaha charged that Prince Rui had planned to move the White Banners to Yongping, had secretly made imperial robes, and had been buried in them—He Luohui, Roshi, Boerhui, and others knew it all.

時羅什、博爾惠已先誅，執何洛會，下王大臣會鞫。 Roshi and Boerhui were already dead; He Luohui was arrested and tried by the princes and ministers.

八年春，吳拜、羅什、博爾輝等訐英親王阿濟格將謀亂，鞫實，錫圖庫坐與謀，誅死，籍其家。 In the spring of the eighth year Wubai, Roshi, and Boerhui exposed Prince Ying Ajige's plot; Xitu Ku was found complicit, executed, and his estate seized.

博爾輝，他塔喇氏，滿洲正白旗人。 Boerhui, of the Tatara clan, belonged to the Plain White Banner.

明總兵趙率教自山海關赴援，與戰，博爾輝斬其副將，明兵驚潰。 Ming commander Zhao Shuaijiao marched from Shanhaiguan to relieve the city; Boerhui killed his deputy and the Ming force broke in panic.

八年，復從伐明，攻大同，明兵三千自龍門迎戰，博爾輝與噶布什賢章京錫特庫、牛錄額真星訥等奮擊破之。 In the eighth year, at Datong, three thousand Ming troops met them at Longmen; Boerhui, Xiteku, Xingne, and others charged and broke them.

師出邊招察哈爾部眾，自歸化經明邊東還，博爾輝殿。 When the army went out to summon the Chahar and returned east from Guihua along the Ming border, Boerhui commanded the rear.

明兵二百三十追擊我師，博爾輝以二十人擊卻之，斬十人，俘一人，得馬三。 Two hundred thirty Ming troops pursued them; with twenty men Boerhui drove them off, killed ten, took one prisoner and three horses.

明兵從我師，有垂為所獲者，博爾輝救之得脫。 As Ming troops pressed the rear, he rescued men about to be taken.

時自成將馬進忠、王進才既降复叛，據岳州，令博爾輝率師討之，次臨湘，擊敗其兵。 Li Zicheng's generals Ma Jinzhong and Wang Jincai had rebelled again at Yuezhou; Boerhui was sent against them and defeated them at Linxiang.

博爾輝及諸大臣羅什、額克親、吳拜、蘇拜皆謹事睿親王，從王獵喀喇城。 Boerhui and ministers Roshi, Ekeqin, Wubai, and Subai all served Prince Rui faithfully and hunted with him at Kalacheng.

英親王阿濟格為睿親王同母兄，欲繼王柄政，博爾輝等與阿爾津共發其罪，英親王奪爵幽禁，賞諸告者，博爾輝進世職二等精奇尼哈番。 Prince Ying Ajige, Dorgon's elder brother, sought his power; Boerhui and A'erjin exposed him; Prince Ying was disgraced and confined; the informers were rewarded and Boerhui raised to second-class jingqi nihaan.

博爾輝等傳睿親王遺言，复理事二王親王爵，以告兩黃旗大臣。 Boerhui relayed Prince Rui's last wish to restore Boluo and Nikan to princely rank and told the Yellow Banner ministers.

居月餘，命未下，博爾輝有疾，穆爾泰往視之，博爾輝以為言。 After a month no order came; Boerhui fell ill; Murutai visited him and Boerhui complained of the delay.

越八日，執博爾輝等下獄，坐博爾輝、羅什動搖國事，蠱惑人心，論死，籍其家。 Eight days later Boerhui and Roshi were arrested for subverting the state and misleading the court; death was proposed and their estates seized.

錫圖庫、博爾輝亦久從征戰有勞。 Xitu Ku and Boerhui too had long followed campaigns with merit.

錫圖庫之誅，博爾輝等發之：轉相排軋，同就誅夷。 Xitu Ku's execution was exposed by Boerhui and others: each denouncing the other, they all went to execution together.
