〈（《宋史》：少帝遣供奉官孟業賫密詔，令洪義殺王殷。
(From the History of Song: the young emperor sent tribute officer Meng Ye with a secret edict for Hongyi to kill Wang Yin.
郭威得之，即召王峻、郭崇、曹英及諸軍將校，至牙署視詔，兼告楊、史諸公冤枉之狀，且曰：「汝等當奉行詔旨，斷予首以報天子，自取功名。」
Guo Wei summoned Wang Jun, Guo Chong, Cao Ying, and his commanders, showed them the edict, described how Yang Bin and Shi Hongzhao had been wronged, and said, "Obey the edict—cut off my head for the emperor and win your reward."
郭崇等與諸將校前曰：「此事必非聖意，即是李業等竊發，假如此輩便握權柄，國得安乎！
Guo Chong and the others stepped forward: "This cannot be the emperor's will—it must be Li Ye's clique. If they hold power, how can the realm be safe?
於是將校等請威入朝，以除君側之惡，共安天下。
The commanders then urged Wei to march on the capital, purge the emperor's evil counselors, and settle the realm.
〈（《東都事略》：漢隱帝遣使害太祖，魏仁浦曰：「公有大功於朝廷，握強兵，臨重鎮，以讒見疑，豈可坐而待斃！」
(From the Summary of Affairs in the Eastern Capital: Emperor Yin sent agents to kill Guo Wei. Wei Renpu said, "You have great service, command a powerful army, and hold a key post—slandered and suspected, how can you sit and die?"
辛巳，帝之小豎嵒脫自北回。
The emperor's young attendant Yan Tuo returned from the north.
先是，帝遣嵒脫偵鄴軍所至，為遊騎所獲，郭威即遣回，因令附奏赴闕之意，仍以密奏置嵒脫衣領中。
The emperor had sent Yan Tuo to scout the Yedu army; scouts seized him, but Guo Wei sent him back with a collar-hidden memorial stating his intent to come to court.
帝覽奏，即召李業示之，聶文進、郭允明在傍，懼形於色。
The emperor read it, summoned Li Ye, and Nie Wenjin and Guo Yunming beside him showed their fear.
帝大懼，私謂宰臣竇貞固等曰：「昨來之事，太草草耳！」
Terrified, he told chief minister Dou Zhengu, "Yesterday's business was far too rash!"
李業等請帝傾府庫以給諸軍，宰相蘇禹珪以為未可。
Li Ye urged emptying the treasury for the troops; Su Yugui objected.
業拜禹珪於帝前，曰：「相公且為官家，莫惜府庫。」
Ye bowed to Yugui before the emperor: "Minister, serve the ruler—spare not the treasury."
慕容彥超自鎮馳至，帝遂以軍旅之事委之。
Murong Yanchao raced from his province and the emperor put the campaign in his hands.
〈（《宋史·侯益傳》云：周太祖起兵，隱帝議出師禦之。
(From the History of Song, biography of Hou Yi: when Guo Wei rebelled, Emperor Yin debated marching against him.
彥超謂帝曰：「陛下勿憂，臣當生致其魁首。」
Yanchao told the emperor, "Do not worry, Majesty—I will take their leader alive."
癸未，車駕勞軍，即日還宮。
On guimao the emperor reviewed the troops and returned the same day.
翌日，慕容彥超揚言曰：「官家宮中無事，明日再出，觀臣破賊。」
Next day Yanchao announced, "The palace is secure; tomorrow the emperor will watch me break the rebels."
甲申，車駕復出，幸七里店軍營。
On jiashen the emperor again visited the Seven-Li camp.
太后以帝至晚在外，遣中使謂聶文進曰：「賊軍在近，大須用意！」
The dowager, worried the emperor was out late, told Nie Wenjin, "The rebels are close—take care!"
是夜，帝與宰臣從官宿於野次，侯益、焦繼勛潛奔鄴軍。
That night the emperor camped in the open with his ministers; Hou Yi and Jiao Jixun defected to Guo Wei.
