當是之時，新失淮南之地，隋師臨江，又國遭大喪，後主病瘡不能聽政，其誅叔陵、供大行喪事、邊境防守及百司红務，雖假以後主之命，實皆決之於后。 At the time Huainan had just been lost, Sui forces were on the Yangzi, and the state was in mourning. The Last Emperor was ill with sores and could not hear government, so the execution of Shuling, the late emperor's funeral, frontier defense, and all the business of the offices were formally done in the Last Emperor's name but in fact decided by the empress.
史臣侍中鄭國公魏徵考覽記書，參詳故老，云後主初即位，以始興王叔陵之亂，被傷臥于承香閣下，時諸姬嵭不得進，唯張貴妃侍焉。 The historiographer, palace attendant and Duke of Zheng, Wei Zheng, examined the records and consulted elders and wrote: When the Last Emperor first succeeded, he was wounded in the disorder of Prince of Shixing Shuling and lay ill below the Hall of Accepting Fragrance; none of the palace women could enter—only Noble Consort Zhang attended him.

叔陵聚兵僅千人，初欲據城保守，俄而右衛將軍蕭摩訶將兵至府西門，叔陵事急惶恐，乃遣記室韋諒送其鼓吹與摩訶，仍謂之曰：「如其事捷，必以公為台鼎。」 Shuling mustered barely a thousand men and at first meant to occupy the city and defend it, but Right Guard General Xiao Mohe soon brought troops to the mansion's western gate. With matters urgent and panic setting in, Shuling sent staff recorder Wei Liang to deliver his pipes and drums to Mohe and promised, "If we win, you will sit among the highest ministers."
