上命諸大臣保奏諸皇子中孰可為皇太子者，諸大臣舉皇子允禩，上愈不懌。
The emperor ordered the great ministers to recommend which prince might be made crown prince; the ministers named Prince Yinshi, and the emperor grew still more displeased.
四十八年正月，召諸大臣詰孰先舉允禩，實出大學士馬齊。
In the first month of year 48 he summoned the great ministers and asked who had first proposed Yinshi; it proved to be Grand Secretary Ma Qi.
諸大臣聞爾言，眾皆恐懼，遂欲立允禩為皇太子，列名保奏。
When the great ministers heard you, they were all terrified and then wished to make Yinshi crown prince, signing a joint recommendation.
上意在復立皇太子，而諸皇子中貝勒允禩覬為皇太子最力，諸大臣揆敘、王鴻緒及佟國綱子鄂倫岱等為之羽翼。
The emperor intended to restore the crown prince, but among the princes Beile Yinshi coveted the position most fiercely; Grand Ministers Kui Xu and Wang Hongxu, with Olondai son of Tong Guogang, backed him.
馬齊言眾有欲舉八阿哥者。
Ma Qi said many wished to nominate the Eighth Prince.
阿靈阿等書「八」字密示諸大臣，諸大臣遂以允禩名上，上不懌。
Aringa and others secretly showed the character 'eight' to the great ministers, and they then submitted Yinshi's name; the emperor was displeased.
明年正月，召諸大臣問其日先舉允禩者為誰，群臣莫敢對。
In the first month of the following year he summoned the great ministers and asked who had first proposed Yinshi that day; none dared answer.
如此大事，尚懷私意，謀立允禩，豈非為異日恣肆專行計耶？」
On so grave a matter he still cherished private intent and plotted to make Yinshi crown prince — was this not planning to act arbitrarily in days to come?'
王大臣議馬齊斬，馬武、李榮保坐罪有差，盡奪其族人官，上不忍誅，命以馬齊付允禩嚴錮，李榮保、馬武並奪官。
The princes and great ministers proposed Ma Qi be beheaded and Ma Wu and Li Rongbao punished to their degree, stripping all their clansmen of office; the emperor could not bear to kill him and ordered Ma Qi handed to Yinshi for strict confinement, while Li Rongbao and Ma Wu were both stripped of office.
四十七年，與揆敘、王鴻緒等密議舉允禩為皇太子。
In year 47 he joined Kui Xu, Wang Hongxu, and others in secretly plotting to make Yinshi crown prince.
乃阿靈阿、揆敘攘為己力，要結允禩等，造作無稽之言，轉相傳播，致皇考憤懣，莫可究詰。
Yet Aringa and Kui Xu claimed the deed as their own merit, courted Yinshi and others, fabricated baseless talk, and spread it hand to hand until my late father was filled with anger beyond all inquiry.
揆敘交遊既廣，尤工結納，素與允禩相結。
Kui Xu's connections were already wide, and he was especially skilled at forming ties; he had long been allied with Yinshi.
四十七年冬，上召滿、漢大臣問諸皇子中孰可為皇太子者，揆敘及阿靈阿、鄂倫岱、王鴻緒等私與諸大臣通消息，諸大臣遂舉允禩。
In the winter of year 47, when the emperor summoned Manchu and Han ministers to ask which prince might be crown prince, Kui Xu with Aringa, Olondai, Wang Hongxu, and others privately signaled the ministers, who then nominated Yinshi.
雍正三年，諭曰：「鄂倫岱與阿靈阿皆黨於允禩。
In Yongzheng year 3 he instructed: 'Olondai and Aringa both belonged to Yinshi's faction.
當日允禩得罪，皇考時方駐蹕遙亭，命執允禩門下宦者刑訊，具言鄂倫岱等黨附狀。
When Yinshi offended then, my late father was encamped at Yaoting and ordered Yinshi's household eunuchs tortured for interrogation; they fully reported Olondai and others' factional attachment.
論曰：理密親王既廢，自諸皇子允禟、允䄉輩及諸大臣多謀擁允禩，聖祖終不許。
The commentary says: After Prince Limi was deposed, from Princes Yintang and Yin'e to the great ministers, many plotted to install Yinshi, but the Sacred Ancestor never permitted it.
佟國維陳奏激切，意若不利於故皇太子，語不及允禩，而意有所在，馬齊遂示意諸大臣。
Tong Guowei's memorial was fiercely worded, as though unfavorable to the former crown prince; he did not name Yinshi, yet his intent lay elsewhere, and Ma Qi then signaled the ministers.
若阿靈阿父子、揆敘、鄂倫岱、王鴻緒固擁允禩最力者，世宗既譴允禩，諸臣生者被重誅，死者蒙惡名，將安所逃罪？
As for Aringa father and son, Kui Xu, Olondai, and Wang Hongxu — those who most forcefully backed Yinshi — once Emperor Shizong punished Yinshi, living ministers suffered heavy execution and the dead bore foul names; where could guilt escape?
