初，贄約共執退延齡，既對，贄極言其奸，帝色變，憬不為助，遂罷贄，乃始當國。 At first Zhi and Jing had agreed to join forces to remove Yanling. When they faced the throne, Zhi denounced Yanling's treachery at length until the emperor's face changed, but Jing offered no support. Zhi was dismissed, and only then did Jing take control of the government.
