及周興、來俊臣等誅死，后亦老，其意少衰，而狄仁傑、姚崇、宋璟、王及善相與論垂拱以來酷濫之冤，太后感寤，由是不復殺戮。 After Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, and others were executed, the Empress had also grown old and her zeal somewhat faded. Di Renjie, Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Wang Jishan together discussed the cruel excesses and wrongful convictions since the Chuigong era; the Empress Dowager was moved, and from then on she no longer carried out mass killings.
