皇太子立大撫軍院，命庸團結房山，遷同僉將作院事，又除刑部尚書，仍領團結。 The crown prince established the Great Pacification Army Bureau and ordered Yong to organize militia in Fangshan. He was transferred to associate director of the Directorate of Palace Buildings, then appointed Minister of Justice while still leading the militia organization.

擴廓帖木兒扈從皇太子還京，輸山東粟以遺朝貴，饋好禮麥百石，好禮不受。 Köke Temür escorted the crown prince back to the capital and sent Shandong grain as gifts to court nobles. He presented Haoli with a hundred piculs of wheat, but Haoli refused it.

而皇太子累遣官索之，孛羅帖木兒匿不發。 The heir apparent repeatedly sent officials to demand his surrender, but Boluo Timur hid him and refused to hand him over.

皇太子以孛羅帖木兒握兵跋扈，今乃與禿堅帖木兒交通，又匿不軌之臣，遂與丞相搠思監議，請詔削其官，分其兵授四川省丞相察罕不花領之。 The heir apparent, seeing Boluo Timur's arrogance with troops in hand, his collusion with Toqto'a Timur, and his concealment of a disloyal minister, discussed with Chancellor Bodaijian a request to strip his offices and divide his army, giving command to Sichuan branch chancellor Chaghan Buhua.

辛亥，孛羅帖木兒還大同，皇太子恚怒不已，再徵擴廓帖木兒兵，保障京師。 On the xinhai day Boluo Timur returned to Datong. The heir apparent, still furious, again summoned Köke Timur's troops to secure the capital.

丙戌，皇太子親統兵迎於清河，丞相也速、詹事不蘭奚軍於昌平，也速軍士無鬪志，青軍楊同僉被殺於居庸，不蘭奚戰敗走，皇太子亦馳入城。 On the bingxu day the heir apparent led troops in person to meet them at Qinghe, while Chancellor Yeshu and household superintendent Buranxi took position at Changping. Yeshu's men would not fight. Yang Tongqian was killed at Juyong, Buranxi was routed, and the heir apparent galloped back into the city.

丁亥夜，鎖住脅東宮官僚從太子出奔太原。 That night Suozhu forced the Eastern Palace staff to flee with the heir apparent to Taiyuan.

戊子，孛羅帖木兒兵至，駐健德門外，欲追襲皇太子，老的沙力止之。 On the wuzi day Boluo Timur's army arrived and camped outside Jiande Gate. He wanted to pursue the heir apparent, but Laodesha strongly dissuaded him.

數遣使請皇太子還朝，使至太原，拘留不報。 He repeatedly asked the heir apparent to return to court, but every envoy sent to Taiyuan was detained without reply.

二十五年，皇太子在外，日夜謀除內難，承制調遣嶺北、甘肅、遼陽、陝西及擴廓帖木兒等軍，進討孛羅帖木兒。 In the twenty-fifth year the heir apparent, still abroad, plotted day and night to remove the men who held the capital. Acting under imperial commission, he mobilized forces from Lingbei, Gansu, Liaoyang, Shaanxi, and Köke Timur's army for a campaign against Boluo Timur.

遣禿堅帖木兒率軍討上都附皇太子者，調也速南禦擴廓帖木兒軍。 He sent Toqto'a Timur to suppress Shangdu supporters of the heir apparent and shifted Yeshu south to block Köke Timur's advance.

明日，遣使函孛羅帖木兒首級往太原，詔皇太子還朝。 The next day envoys carried Boluo Timur's head in a box to Taiyuan and ordered the heir apparent to return to court.

九月，皇太子朝京師。 In the ninth month the heir apparent returned to the capital.
