正位之後，凡貢奉先入後宮，惟寫佛經施尼師，他無所賜，闕下諸軍困乏，以至妻子饑殍，宰相請出內庫俵給，後將出妝具銀盆兩口、皇子滿喜等三人，令鬻以贍軍。 After she took the throne as empress, all tribute first entered the inner palace. She gave only copied Buddhist scriptures to Buddhist nuns and bestowed nothing else. The armies at the capital were destitute, and wives and children starved to death. The chief ministers requested that the inner treasury be opened for distribution, but the empress produced only two silver basins from her toilet set and the three princes Manxi and others, ordering them sold to supply the army.
