義誠又累奏請行,帝召侍衛都將以下宣曰:「先皇帝棄萬國,朕於兄弟之中,無心爭立,一旦被召主喪,便委社稷,岐陽兄長,果致猜嫌。 Kang Yicheng repeatedly memorialized asking to take the field. The Emperor summoned the Guard commanders and those below and announced, "When the late Emperor left the myriad lands, I had no heart among my brothers to contend for the throne. Once summoned to preside at the mourning, I entrusted the realm to my charge. My elder brother at Qiyang indeed came to suspicion and resentment.
帝喜,敬瑭拜舞於路,帝下馬慟哭,諭以「潞王危社稷,康義誠以下叛我,無以自庇,長公主見教,逆爾於路,謀社稷大計。」 The Emperor rejoiced. Jingtang bowed and danced in the road. The Emperor dismounted and wept bitterly, telling him, "The Prince of Lu endangers the realm. Kang Yicheng and those below have betrayed me, and I have no means to protect myself. The Grand Princess gave me counsel and sent me to meet you on the road to plan the great design for the realm."
