李存顥者，以陰計幹克寧曰：「兄亡弟及，古今舊事，委父拜侄，理所未安，富貴功名，當宜自立，天與不取，後悔無及。」 Li Cunhao secretly urged Ke Ning, saying, "When the elder brother dies the younger brother succeeds—that is the old way of the world. For an uncle to bow to his nephew is unnatural. You should seize fortune and rank for yourself. If heaven offers and you refuse, you will regret it when it is too late."

近臣史敬鎔素與存顥善，盡知其事。 The close attendant Shi Jingrong was an old friend of Cunhao's and knew the whole plot.

敬鎔告貞簡太后曰：「存顥與管內太保陰圖叛亂，俟嗣王過其第即擒之，並太后子母，欲送於汴州。 Jingrong told Empress Dowager Zhenjian, "Cunhao and the circuit grand guardian are secretly plotting rebellion. They mean to seize the heir when he passes their residence, and send you and your son to Bianzhou as well.

存顥輩欲以太原降賊，王乃何路求生？ Cunhao and his fellows mean to hand Taiyuan over to the enemy. What path to safety remains for you, my lord?

二月二十日，會諸將於府第，擒存顥、克寧於坐。 On the twentieth day of the second month he assembled his generals at the residence and seized Cunhao and Ke Ning where they sat.

是日，與存顥俱伏法。 That day he and Cunhao were both executed.
