是時，隱帝少年，小人在側。 The Deposed Emperor was still a youth; petty men crowded his side.

弘肇等威制人主，帝與左右李業、郭允明等皆患之。 Hongzhao and his faction overawed the throne; the emperor and his intimates—Li Ye, Guo Yunming, and the rest—all hated it.

明日與隱帝走趙村，自殺於民舍。 The next day he fled with the Deposed Emperor to Zhao Village and took his life in a private house.

隱帝時，河中李守貞、鳳翔王景崇、永興趙思綰等皆反，關西用兵，人情恐懼，京師之民，流言以相驚恐。 Under the Deposed Emperor, Li Shouzhen of Hezhong, Wang Jingchong of Fengxiang, Zhao Siwan of Yongxing, and others rebelled. War opened in the western passes; fear ran through the realm. In the capital rumor fed rumor.
