《五代史闕文》：明宗令翟光鄴、李從璋誅重誨於河中私第，從璋奮楇擊重誨於地，重誨曰：「某死無恨，但恨不與官家誅得潞王，他日必為朝廷之患。」
(The 《Lost Texts of the History of the Five Dynasties》: Mingzong ordered Zhai Guangye and Li Congzhang to kill Chonghui at his Hedong mansion; Congzhang felled him with a mace; Chonghui said, "I die without regret—only that I did not help the Emperor kill the Prince of Lu; he will plague the court hereafter."
臣謹案：《明宗實錄》是清泰帝朝修撰，潞王即清泰帝也。
I note: the 《Veritable Records of Mingzong》 was edited under Emperor Qingtai; the Prince of Lu is Qingtai.
素猜忌潞王，致其釁隙，以致禍敗。
He always distrusted the Prince of Lu, widened the breach, and brought disaster.
潞王至陝，閔帝懼，欲奔，馳手詔弘昭圖之。
At the Prince of Lu's arrival in Shan, Emperor Min panicked and meant to flee; he sent an urgent hand edict to Hongzhao to act.
既而義誠果以禁軍迎降潞王，故洪實之死，後人皆以為冤。
Yicheng soon surrendered the guards to the Prince of Lu; posterity called Hongshi's death a miscarriage of justice.
未幾，鳳翔變起，西軍不利，義誠懼，乃請行，蓋欲盡率駕下諸軍送降於潞王求免也。
Soon the Fengxiang revolt broke out; the western army fared badly; Yicheng, afraid, asked to march—likely meaning to lead the emperor's troops in surrender to the Prince of Lu to save himself.
及義誠率軍至新安，諸軍爭先趨陝，解甲迎降，義誠以部下數十人見潞王請罪，潞王雖罪其奸回，未欲行法。
When Yicheng reached Xin'an, the troops raced to Shan, laid down arms, and surrendered; Yicheng came with several dozen men to beg pardon of the Prince of Lu; though the prince blamed his treachery, he did not yet punish him.
時末帝已至華州，令拘於獄，誅之。
The Last Emperor was at Hua; he was jailed and killed.
