統製苗傅等切齒曰：“此輩使天子至此，猶敢爾邪？” Commander Miao Fu and his men ground their teeth: “These creatures brought the Son of Heaven to this pass—how dare they still strut so?”

傅幕客王世修亦疾中官恣橫，以告武功大夫劉正彥，正彥曰：“會當共除之。” Fu’s adviser Wang Shixiu, who also loathed eunuch insolence, told Military Merit Grandee Liu Zhengyan; Zhengyan said, “We will destroy them together when the moment comes.”

履馳入白帝，傅等至，厲聲曰：“陛下信任中官，凡中官所主者皆得美官。 Lu raced in to warn the emperor; Fu and his men arrived shouting, “Your Majesty trusts eunuchs—every office a eunuch touches turns into a lucrative post.

帝不忍，除傅等官以安之。 The emperor could not bear to do it and enfeoffed Fu and his allies to calm them.

傅等曰：“欲遷官，第須控兩匹馬與內侍，何必至此！” Fu retorted, “Had you only wanted rank, holding two horses for a eunuch would have sufficed—why drive us to mutiny!”

遂以付傅，即腰斬之。 He was handed to Fu and immediately cut in two at the waist.

帝幸睿聖宮，傅等留內侍十五人奉左右。 The emperor withdrew to Ruishèng Palace; Fu left only fifteen eunuchs in attendance.

傅等誅，贈履官，諡榮節，召珪等還。 After Fu’s faction was destroyed, Lu was posthumously enfeoffed with the title Rongjie; Gui and the others were summoned back.
