同判睦親府內族撒合輦交結中外，久在禁近。 Associate administrator of the Muxin princely establishment, inner clansman Sagelian, cultivated connections throughout the court and had long been in the inner circle.

哀宗為太子，有定策功，由是頗惑其言，複倚信日深，台諫每以為言。 When Emperor Aizong was crown prince, Sagelian had helped settle the succession. For this reason the emperor was much swayed by his words and relied on him ever more deeply. The censorate often remonstrated about this.

尉忻諫曰：「撒合輦奸諛之最，日在天子左右，非社稷福。」 Weixin remonstrated: "Sagelian is the worst of flatterers and sycophants. Day after day he is at the emperor's side. This is no blessing to the state."
