初，上以東面元帥李辛跋扈出怨言，罷為兵部侍郎，將出，密喻奴申等羈縶之。 Earlier, because the eastern marshal Li Xin had been insubordinate and voiced complaints, the emperor had demoted him to vice minister of war. Before leaving the city, he secretly told Nushen and the others to detain him.

上既行，奴申等召辛，辛懼，謀欲出降，棄馬逾城而走。 After the emperor had departed, Nushen and the others summoned Li Xin. In fear, Xin plotted to defect, abandoned his horse, and fled over the wall.
