時北、南院樞密官涅魯古、蕭胡睹等忌之，請以仁先為西北路招討使。 At that time the Secretariat officials Nielugu and Xiao Huzhu of the Northern and Southern courts envied him and asked that Renxian be appointed Pacification Commissioner of the Northwest Circuit.

涅魯古中矢墮馬，擒之，重元被傷而退。 Nielugu was struck by an arrow, fell from his horse, and was captured. Chongyuan was wounded and withdrew.

良聞重元與子涅魯古謀亂，以帝篤於親愛，不敢遽奏，密言於皇太后。 Liang heard that Chongyuan and his son Nielugu were plotting rebellion. Because the emperor was deeply devoted to his kin, he did not dare report it at once and spoke secretly to the Empress Dowager.

如召涅魯古不來，可卜其事。」 If Nielugu is summoned and does not come, that will prove the matter."

使者及門，涅魯古意欲害之，羈於帳下。 When the envoy reached the gate, Nielugu intended to kill him and detained him in the tent.

重元之亂，推鋒力戰，斬涅魯古首以獻，論功封漢王。 During Chongyuan's rebellion he led the van and fought hard, beheaded Nielugu and presented the head, and for his merit was enfeoffed as Prince of Han.
