立曰：「衛紹王太子從恪，其妹公主在北兵中，可立之。」 Cui Li said: "Prince Congke, son of Emperor Weishao, has a sister the princess held among the northern forces. He should be installed."

須臾入，以太后誥命梁王監國。 Shortly he arrived, and by the empress dowager's edict Prince Liang was made regent.

百官拜舞山呼，從恪受之，遂遣送二相所佩虎符詣速不泬納款。 The officials bowed and shouted their acclamation. Congke accepted the regency and sent the tiger tallies worn by the two chief ministers to Subutai to offer surrender.
