元徽五年七月六日夜，少帝微行至領軍府，帝左右人曰：「一府人皆眠，何不緣牆入。」 On the night of the sixth of the seventh month in Yuanhui's fifth year, the young emperor slipped to the army commander's mansion. An attendant whispered: "Everyone in the compound is asleep—why not come in over the wall?"

帝曰：「我今夕欲一處作適，待明日夜。」 The boy emperor said: "Tonight I mean to take my pleasure in one place; wait until tomorrow night."

明夕，王敬則將帝首至，扣門，康謂是變，與荒、黑曉下，拔白欲出。 Next evening Wang Jingze arrived with the emperor's head and beat on the gate. Kang read it as revolt; at first light he, Huang, and Hei rushed down, bared steel, and were ready to cut their way out.
