武宗崩，仁宗立，延祐三年春，議建東宮，時丞相鐵木叠而欲固位取寵，乃議立英宗為皇太子，又與太后幸臣識烈門譖帝於兩宮，浸潤久之，其計遂行。 Wuzong died; Renzong ascended the throne; spring of the third year of Yanyou, when the Eastern Palace was under deliberation, Chancellor Tiemudie'er, wishing to secure his position and win favor, proposed installing Shidebala as crown prince; together with the empress dowager's favorite minister Shiliemen he slandered him before the two palaces; after long insinuation, the scheme succeeded.
