述欲為之求官，謂定興曰：「兄所制器仗併合上心，而不得官者，為長寧兄弟猶未死耳。」 Shu wished to seek office for him and said to Dingxing, "The arms and armor you make all accord with the sovereign's mind, yet you have not received office because the brothers of Changning are still alive."

帝從之，因鴆殺長寧，又遣以下七弟分配嶺表，仍遣間使于路盡殺之。 The emperor assented and thereupon poisoned Changning. He also sent the seven younger brothers below him to assignments beyond the Ling range and still dispatched secret agents on the road to kill them all.
