五月，皇弟剌葛、迭剌、寅底石、安端謀反。 In the fifth month his brothers Cige, Diela, Yindishi, and Anduan conspired to rebel.

安端妻粘睦姑知之，以告，得實。 Anduan's wife Nianmugu discovered the plot, informed the court, and the charge was proved true.

冬十月戊寅，剌葛破平州，還，復與迭剌、寅底石、安端等反。 In the tenth winter month, on wuyin day, Cige captured Pingzhou and returned, then rebelled again with Diela, Yindishi, Anduan, and others.

三月癸丑，次蘆水，弟迭剌哥圖為奚王，與安端擁千餘騎而至，紿稱入覲。 On guichou day in the third month he halted at Lushui. His younger brother Diela plotted to become King of Xi and, together with Anduan at the head of more than a thousand horsemen, arrived, falsely claiming they had come to attend court.

以寅底石、安端性本庸弱，為剌葛所使，皆釋其罪。 Because Yindishi and Anduan were by nature weak and had been used by Cige, he pardoned them both.

寅底石妻涅離脅從，安端妻粘睦姑嘗有忠告，並免。 Yindishi's wife Nieli had been coerced, and Anduan's wife Zhanmugu had once given loyal counsel; both were spared.

三年春正月丙申，以皇弟安端為大內惕隱，命攻雲州及西南諸部。 On bingshen day in the first month of spring in the third year his younger brother Anduan was made grand interior tiyin and ordered to attack Yunzhou and the southwestern tribes.

壬午，安端獻俘，誅安邊府叛帥二人。 On renwu day Anduan brought in prisoners and beheaded the two rebel leaders of Anbian Prefecture.

剌葛、安端之亂，太祖既貸其死而復用之，非人君之度乎？ In the rebellions of Lage and Anduan, Taizu spared them and then put them back in office—was that truly the measure of a prince?

至泰德泉，為安端、留哥所敗。 At Taidé Spring he was defeated by Anduan and Liuge.

夫自太祖之世，剌葛、安端首倡禍亂，太祖既不之誅，又復用之，固為有君人之量，然惟太祖之才足以駕馭，庶乎其可也。 From Taizu's reign Cige and Anduan were the first to stir rebellion; Taizu neither executed them outright nor cast them off permanently, which showed true magnanimity as a ruler—yet only Taizu's ability could keep them in hand, and even that was barely enough.
