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.

阿靈阿，鈕祜祿氏，滿洲鑲黃旗人，遏必隆第五子。 Aringa, of the Niohuru clan and the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner, was Ebilun's fifth son.

阿靈阿女兄，上冊為貴妃。 Aringa's elder sister was enfeoffed by the emperor as Imperial Noble Consort.

貴妃薨，殯朝陽門外，阿靈阿舉家在殯所持喪。 When the consort died she lay in state outside Chaoyang Gate; Aringa and his whole household kept mourning at the bier.

法喀以聞上，震怒，奪阿靈阿職，仍留公爵。 Faka reported to the emperor; enraged, the emperor stripped Aringa's office but kept his dukedom.

雍正二年，世宗召諸大臣諭曰：「本朝大臣中，居心奸險，結黨營私，惟阿靈阿、揆敘為甚。 In Yongzheng year 2 Emperor Shizong summoned the great ministers and said: 'Among this dynasty's ministers, none were more treacherous in heart or more given to faction and private gain than Aringa and Kui Xu.

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.

阿靈阿子阿爾松阿柔奸狡猾，甚於其父。 Aringa's son Ersong'a was soft, treacherous, and cunning — worse than his father.

並將阿靈阿墓碑改鐫'不臣不弟暴悍貪庸阿靈阿之墓'，以正其罪。」 and Aringa's tombstone was re-cut to read 'Tomb of Aringa — disloyal subject, unfilial brother, violent, greedy, and base,' to rectify his crime.'

乾隆元年，以阿靈阿墓碑立祖塋前，墓已遷而碑尚存，命去之。 In the first year of Qianlong, because Aringa's tombstone still stood before the ancestral grave though the tomb had been moved, the emperor ordered it removed.

皇太子既廢，揆敘與阿靈阿等播蜚語，言皇太子諸失德狀，杜其復立。 After the crown prince was deposed, Kui Xu and Aringa spread slander, recounting the crown prince's moral failings to block his restoration.

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.

雍正二年，發揆敘及阿靈阿罪狀，追奪揆敘官，削諡。 In Yongzheng year 2 the crimes of Kui Xu and Aringa were published; Kui Xu's office was posthumously stripped and his posthumous title erased.

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.

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?
