知祥已卒而秘未發，王處回夜過趙季良，相對泣涕不已，季良正色曰：「今強侯握兵，專伺時變，當速立嗣君以絕非望，泣無益也。」 Zhixiang was dead but the news had not yet been announced. Wang Chuhui visited Zhao Jiliang at night, and they wept together without end. Jiliang said sternly: "Powerful lords now hold armies and watch for any opening. Establish the heir at once to forestall ambition—tears will not help."

處回遂與季良立昶，而後發喪。 Chuhui and Jiliang thereupon installed Chang and only then announced the mourning.

王處回、趙廷隱相次致仕，由是故將舊臣殆盡。 Wang Chuhui and Zhao Tingyin retired in succession, and with them nearly all of Zhixiang's old generals and ministers were gone.
