〈（《契丹國志》云：漢祖召蘇逢吉、楊邠、史宏肇入受顧命，曰：「承祐幼弱，後事托在卿輩。」 (The Records of the Khitan State relate that the Han founder summoned Su Fengji, Yang Bin, and Shi Hongzhao to receive his deathbed charge, saying, "Chengyou is still a child; I entrust what follows to you."

逢吉等秘不發喪，下詔稱：「重威父子，因朕小疾，謗議搖眾，皆斬之。」 Fengji and his colleagues concealed the death and issued an edict in the emperor's name: "Du Chongwei and his son, exploiting my minor illness, spread slander and unsettled the people—both shall be executed."
