叔嬸不答失裏，怙其勢焰，不明明考之嗣，而妄立孺稚之弟亦憐真班，奄復不年，諸王大臣以賢以長，扶朕踐位。 Aunt Empress Budashiri, relying on her power and flame, did not clarify the heir of the brilliant imperial father but rashly established the infant younger brother Yijianzhenban, who again did not complete a year; the princes and great ministers by worth and seniority supported the Emperor to the throne.

不答失裏本朕之嬸，乃陰構奸臣，弗體朕意，僭膺太皇太后之號，跡其閨門之禍，離間骨肉，罪惡尤重，揆之大義，削去鴻名，徙東安州安置。 Budashiri, my uncle's wife, secretly colluded with treacherous ministers, showed no regard for my wishes, and arrogantly assumed the title of Grand Empress Dowager. The scandal within her household sundered the imperial kin; her crimes were grave beyond measure. By the standards of righteousness, her exalted titles are revoked and she is banished to Dong'an Prefecture.
