龍武牙官史太殺之，趨椒蘭殿，問昭宗所在，昭宗方醉，起走，太持劍逐之，昭宗單衣旋柱而走，太劍及之，昭宗崩。 Dragon Martial adjutant Shi Tai cut her down, ran to Jiaolan Hall, and demanded the emperor. Zhaozong was drunk, lurched up, and ran. Tai chased with his blade. In only a night robe Zhaozong spun around a pillar until the steel found him and he fell.
