師古病，召親近高沐、李公度等曰：「即我不諱，欲以誰嗣？」 As Shigu lay dying he called in his confidants Gao Mu and Li Gongdu and asked, "When I am gone, whom should succeed me?"

及死，沐、公度與家奴卒立之，而請於朝。 After his death, Gao Mu and Li Gongdu, with the household guard, installed Shidao and petitioned the throne for confirmation.

於是制書久不下，師道謀裒兵守境，沐爭止，更上書奉兩稅，守鹽法，請吏朝廷。 When the appointment edict was slow in coming, Shidao prepared to mobilize and hold the borders; Gao Mu dissuaded him and he memorialized anew, pledging the two-tax levy, observance of salt regulations, and acceptance of court-appointed officials.
