丁酉，敕秦王府官屬，除諮議參軍高輦已處斬外，元帥府判官、兵部侍郎任讚配武州，秘書監兼秦王傅劉讚配嵐州，河南少尹劉陟配均州，並為長流百姓，縱逢恩赦，不在放還。 On dingyou an edict punished the staff of the Qin princely establishment: Advisory Assistant Gao Nian had already been executed; Grand Marshal's adjutant Ren Zan, Vice Minister of War, was exiled to Wuzhou; Liu Zan, Director of the Secretariat and Tutor to the Prince of Qin, to Lanzhou; and Liu Sheng, Henan Vice Mayor, to Junzhou—all as permanent exiles never to be recalled even by amnesty.

從榮所款昵者高輦、劉陟、王說三人，昨從榮稱兵指闕之際，沿路隻與劉陟、高輦並轡耳語，至天津橋南，指日影謂諸判官曰：『明日如今，已誅王居敏矣。』 Congrong's intimates were Gao Nian, Liu Sheng, and Wang Yue. When he marched on the palace he rode whispering only with Liu Sheng and Gao Nian; south of the Tianjin Bridge he pointed at the sun and told his adjutants, 'By this hour tomorrow Wang Jumin will be dead.'
