特烈陰謂耶律兀直曰：「事勢如此，億兆離心，正我輩效節之秋。 Telie said privately to Yelü Wuzhi, "The situation is thus; the myriad people have lost heart—this is exactly the season for us to give loyal service.

會耶律兀直言朮烈才德純備，兼興宗之孫，眾皆曰可，遂僭立焉，特烈偽職如故。 Yelü Wuzhi said that Shulie was pure in talent and virtue and moreover a grandson of Xingzong; everyone said he would do, and so they set him up with a usurped title; Telie's false post remained as before.
