時定宗皇后海迷失所遣使者八剌在坐，曰：「昔太宗命以皇孫失烈門為嗣，諸王百官皆與聞之。 Bal, an envoy of Güyük's empress Oghul Qaimish, was present and said, "Ögedei once commanded that his grandson Shiremün succeed him, and every prince and official heard the order.

今失烈門故在，而議欲他屬，將置之何地耶？」 Shiremün is still alive. If you mean to set the succession elsewhere, what place is left for him?"

失烈門及諸弟腦忽等心不能平，有後言。 Shiremün and his brothers, among them Naqu, nursed their resentment and murmured against the choice.

定宗後及失烈門母以厭禳事覺，並賜死，謫失烈門、也速、孛裏等於沒脫赤之地，禁錮和只、納忽、也孫脫等於軍營。 Güyük's empress and Shiremün's mother were found guilty of sorcery and put to death; Shiremün, Yesü, and Buri were exiled to Motuo under guard, while Qoju, Naqu, and Yesünto were held in the camps.
