及歸德遣使迎兩宮，人情益不安，於是民間有立荊王監國以城歸順之議，而二相皆不知也。 When Guide sent envoys to bring back the empresses, public anxiety deepened. Talk spread among the people of installing Prince Jing as regent and surrendering the city—and neither of the two chief ministers knew of it.

或曰是時週邊不解，如在陷阱，議者欲推立荊王以城出降，是亦《春秋》紀季入齊之義，況北兵中已有曹王也。 Some say that at this time, besieged on every side as if in a trap, those deliberating wished to install Prince Jing and surrender the city—an act in the spirit of Ji Ji's surrender to Qi in the Spring and Autumn Annals—and besides, Prince Cao was already held among the northern forces.

以荊王府為私第，取內府珍玩實之。 He took Prince Jing's mansion as his private residence and stocked it with treasures from the inner palace.

四月壬辰，立以兩宮、梁王、荊王及諸宗室皆赴青城，甲午北行，立妻王氏備仗衛送兩宮至開陽門。 On renchen day in the fourth month Cui Li sent the empresses, Prince Liang, Prince Jing, and the entire imperial clan to Qingcheng. On jiawu day they departed north. His wife Lady Wang, with full ceremonial guard, escorted the empresses to the Kaiyang Gate.
