及兆敗，竄於窮山，令亮及倉頭陳山提斬己首以降，皆不忍，兆乃自縊於樹。 When Zhao was defeated he hid in the mountains and ordered Liang and his steward Chen Shanti to cut off his head and surrender. Neither could bear to do it. Zhao then hanged himself from a tree.

帝乃令都督陳山提等搜暹家，甚貧匱，唯得高祖、世宗與暹書千餘紙，多論軍中大事。 Gao Yang then had Commander Chen Shanti and others search Xian's house—it was very poor; only a thousand-odd pages of letters from Gao Huan and Gao Cheng to Xian, mostly discussing great military affairs.

散騎常侍徐之才、館客宋景業先為天文圖讖之學，又陳山提家客楊子術有所援引，並因德政勸顯祖行禪代之事。 Regular attendant Xu Zhicai and retainer Song Jingye were versed first in astronomy and apocrypha; also Chen Shanti's household retainer Yang Zishu had connections—all through Dezheng urged Gao Yang to carry out the abdication and succession.

德政又錄在鄴諸事條進於帝，帝令陳山提馳驛賫事條並密書與楊愔。 Dezheng also compiled the items of business at Ye and presented them to Gao Yang; Gao Yang had Chen Shanti ride post-haste with the list and a secret letter to Yang Yin.

山提以五月至鄴，楊愔卽召太常卿邢卲、七兵尚書崔㥄悛、度支尚書陸操、詹事王昕、黃門侍郎陽休之、中書侍郎裴讓之等議撰儀注。 Shanti reached Ye in the fifth month; Yang Yin at once summoned director of ceremonies Xing Shao, minister of the seven armies Cui Lingjun, minister of revenue Lu Cao, household mentor Wang Xin, yellow gate attendant Yang Xiuzhi, secretariat gentleman Pei Rangzhi, and others to draft the ritual regulations.

德政、徐之才苦請帝曰：「山提先去，若為形容，恐其漏泄不果。」 Dezheng and Xu Zhicai pressed Gao Yang hard: "Shanti went ahead — if appearances give it away, I fear the leak will ruin everything."
