文宣大漸，以常山、長廣二王位地親逼，深以後事為念。 As Emperor Wenxuan sank toward death, he worried deeply about the aftermath, for the princes of Changshan and Changgung stood too close in kinship and power.

仍欲以常山王隨梓宮之鄴，留長廣王鎮晉陽。 They next wished the prince of Changshan to accompany the coffin to Ye and the prince of Changgung to hold Jinyang.

愔等又議不可令二王俱出，乃奏以長廣王為大司馬、幷州刺史，常山王為太師、錄尚書事。 The regents then decided the two princes must not both leave the capital and memorialized appointing the prince of Changgung grand marshal and Bingzhou inspector, and the prince of Changshan grand preceptor and recorder of the masters of writing.

長廣旦伏家僮數十人於錄尚書後室，仍與席上勳貴數人相知。 The prince of Changgung hid dozens of household slaves in the recorder's rear chamber and confided in several honored nobles at the banquet.

常山王欲緩之，長廣王曰：「不可。」 The prince of Changshan wished to relent; the prince of Changgung said, "No."

長廣王及歸彥在朱華門外。 The prince of Changgung and Guiyan waited outside Vermilion Flower Gate.

臣與湛等為國事重，賀拔仁、斛律金等惜獻皇帝基業，共執遵彥等領入宮，未敢刑戮，專輒之失，罪合萬死。」 Your servant and Zhan took the weight of state upon ourselves; Heba Ren and Hulu Jin cherished Emperor Xian's foundation; we seized Zunyan and his fellows and brought them into the palace. We have not yet executed them; for our presumption we deserve ten thousand deaths."

長廣王以子默昔讒己作詔書，故先拔其舌，截其手。 The prince of Changgung, because Zimo had once slandered him in an edict, first tore out his tongue and cut off his hands.
