是年，咸陽王禧誅，財物珍寶奴婢田宅多入高氏。 That year Prince of Xianyang Xi was put to death, and much of his property, treasure, slaves, fields, and houses passed to the Gao family.

世宗初，六輔專政，後以咸陽王禧無事構逆，由是遂委信肇。 Early in Emperor Shizong's reign the six chief ministers monopolized power. Later, when Prince of Xianyang Xi plotted rebellion without cause, the emperor placed his trust in Zhao instead.
