時壽安王歸帳，屋質遣弟沖迎之。 Prince Shou'an was then returning to his tent, and Wuzhi sent his younger brother Chong to meet him.

屋質曰：「大王嗣聖子，賊若得之，必不容。 Wuzhi said, "Your Highness is a son of Emperor Sisheng; if the rebels seize you, they will not spare you.

亂既平，穆宗即位，謂屋質曰：「朕之性命，實出卿手。」 Once order was restored, Emperor Muzong took the throne and said to Wuzhi, "I owe my life to you."

穆宗以其父吼首議立世宗，故不顯用。 Because Muzong knew his father Hou had led the plan to enthrone Shizong, he did not give him prominent office.

太宗伐晉還，至欒城崩，諸將欲立世宗，以李胡及壽安王在朝，猶豫未決。 When Taizong died at Luancheng on his return from the Jin campaign, the generals wished to enthrone Shizong, but with Li Hu and Prince Shou'an still at court they hesitated.

先帝雖有壽安，天下屬意多在大王。 though the late emperor also had Prince Shou'an, the realm's hopes rest chiefly on Your Highness.

穆宗即位，以立世宗之故，不復委用。 When Emperor Muzong took the throne, because Antuan had helped enthrone Shizong he was no longer given office.

及穆宗立，以匡贊功，嘗許以本部大王。 When Emperor Muzong took the throne, for his service in supporting the enthronement he was once promised the great kingship of his tribe.
