武成崩，尊為皇太后，陸媼及和士開密謀殺趙郡王叡，出婁定遠、高文遙為刺史。 When Wucheng died she was honored as Empress Dowager; Nurse Lu and He Shikai secretly plotted to kill Prince Rui of Zhao Commandery and sent out Lou Dingyuan and Gao Wenyao as governors.

世祖崩，與領軍婁定遠、錄尚書趙彥深、和士開、高文遙、領軍綦連猛、高阿那肱、樸射唐邕同知朝政，時人號為八貴。 When Shizu died, he jointly directed court government with Lou Dingyuan, Zhao Yanshen, He Shikai, Gao Wenyao, Qilian Meng, Gao Anagong, and Vice Director Tang Yong. People of the time called them the Eight Nobles.

於後定遠、文遙並出，唐邕專典外兵，綦連猛、高阿那肱別總武任，長粲常在左右，兼宣詔令，從幸晉陽。 Afterward Dingyuan and Wenyao were sent out, Tang Yong managed the external troops, Qilian Meng and Gao Anagong separately oversaw military duties, and Changcan remained constantly at the sovereign's side, proclaiming edicts and following him to Jinyang.
