會兵起汝、潁，天下皆震動，帝屢詔宗王，以北方兵南討。 When rebellion broke out in Ru and Ying the realm was shaken, and the emperor repeatedly ordered the princes to march southern campaigns with northern troops.

且遣使來言於帝曰：「祖宗以天下付汝，汝何故失其太半，盍以國璽授我，我當自為之。」 He sent envoys telling the emperor, "Our forefathers gave you the realm and you have lost more than half of it. Hand me the imperial seal and I will rule myself."

帝聞，神色自若，徐曰：「天命有在，汝欲為則為之。」 The emperor heard this calmly and said slowly, "Heaven's mandate endures; do as you will."

其部將脫驩知其勢窮，乃與宗王囊加、玉樞虎兒吐華擒阿魯輝帖木兒送闕下，帝命誅之。 His officer Toqan, seeing defeat was near, joined Princes Nangia and Yushu Huer Tuhua in seizing Arugh Temür and sending him to court, where the emperor ordered his execution.
