詔謂：「擅政阻皇太后垂簾，三人同罪，而肅順擅坐御位，進內廷出入自由，擅用行宮御用器物，傳收應用物件，抗違不遵，並自請分見兩宮皇太后，詞氣抑揚，意在構釁，其悖逆狂謬，較載垣、端華罪尤重。」 The edict declared: "In usurping power and blocking the empress dowager from ruling behind the curtain the three were alike guilty; yet Sushun had presumptuously sat on the imperial seat, come and gone freely in the inner court, used objects reserved for the traveling palace, collected supplies due the court yet defied orders, and even asked to see the two empress dowagers separately with a tone meant to provoke—his treason and frenzy outweighed even Zaiyuan and Duanhua's crimes."
