公主見晟，乃言辭不遜，又遣所私胡人安遂迦共欽計議，扇惑雍閭。 The princess received Sheng with insolent speech and sent her private agent, the Hu man Ansuijia, to conspire with Qin and stir Yonglu to revolt.

晟乃貨其達官，知欽所在，夜掩獲之，以示雍閭，因發公主私事，國人大恥。 Sheng bribed Yonglu's nobles, learned Qin's whereabouts, seized him in a night raid, and showed him to Yonglu, exposing the princess's misconduct and shaming the nation.

上大喜，加授開府，仍遣入籓，蒞殺大義公主。 The emperor was delighted, granted him the additional rank of Kaifu, and sent him back into the Türk lands to execute Princess Dayi.
