潁州人劉福通與其党杜遵道、羅文素、盛文鬱等復言「山童，宋徽宗八世孫，當主中國」。
Liu Futong of Yingzhou and his followers—Du Zundao, Luo Wensu, Sheng Wenyu, and others—again declared, "Shantong is the eighth-generation descendant of Song Huizong and should rule China."
尊楊氏為皇太后，遵道、文郁為丞相，福通、文素平章政事，劉六知樞密院事。
Lady Yang was honored as Empress Dowager; Zundao and Wenyu became chancellors; Futong and Wensu, Vice Directors of the Secretariat; Liu Liu, Director of the Bureau of Military Affairs.
遵道寵用事。
Zundao held favor and wielded power.
福通嫉之，陰命甲士撾殺遵道，自為丞相，加太保，事權一歸福通。
Futong, jealous, had armed men beat Zundao to death; he took the chancellorship himself, added the title Grand Guardian, and concentrated all power in his own hands.
