佐字祐，立時年十三，諸將皆少佐，佐初優容之，諸將稍不法，佐乃黜其大將章德安於明州、李文慶於睦州，殺內都監杜昭達、統軍使闞璠，由是國中皆畏恐。 Qian Zuo, styled You, was thirteen when he took the throne. The generals looked down on his youth; at first he indulged them, and they slowly grew unruly. Zuo then banished Zhang Dean, his chief general, to Mingzhou, and Li Wenqing to Muzhou; he executed Internal Overseer Du Zhaoda and Army Controller Kan Fan. From then on the whole realm lived in fear.
