世宗以問宰相，尚書令李石等曰：「事系彼國，我何預焉，不如因而許之。」 Emperor Shizong consulted his chief ministers. Grand Secretary Li Shi and others said: "This is their internal affair—why should we interfere? Better to grant the request."

得敬始因求醫附表進禮物，欲以嘗試世宗，既不可行，而求封又不可得，仁孝乃謀誅之。 Dejing had first used the medical mission to present gifts and test Emperor Shizong's intentions; when that failed and enfeoffment was denied, Renxiao plotted his execution.

仁孝深念世宗恩厚，十七年，獻本國所造百頭帳，上曰：「夏國貢獻自有方物，可卻之。」 Renxiao deeply appreciated Emperor Shizong's generosity; in the seventeenth year he presented a hundred-headed tent of Xia manufacture. The emperor said: "Xia's tribute has its established categories; this may be declined."
