武宗崩，仁宗立，延祐三年春，議建東宮，時丞相鐵木叠而欲固位取寵，乃議立英宗為皇太子，又與太后幸臣識烈門譖帝於兩宮，浸潤久之，其計遂行。 Wuzong died; Renzong ascended the throne; spring of the third year of Yanyou, when the Eastern Palace was under deliberation, Chancellor Tiemudie'er, wishing to secure his position and win favor, proposed installing Shidebala as crown prince; together with the empress dowager's favorite minister Shiliemen he slandered him before the two palaces; after long insinuation, the scheme succeeded.

答己妃子 （弘吉列氏。大德十一年尊為皇太后，延祐二年上尊號曰儀天興聖慈仁（明）昭懿壽元（合）全德泰寧福慶皇太后，七年又尊曰太皇太后，加徽文崇祐尊號。至治三年崩，諡曰昭獻元聖皇后。后性聰慧，然不事檢飭，及正位東朝，淫恣益甚，內則黑驢母亦列失八用事，外則幸臣失列門、紐鄰等及時宰迭木帖兒怙寵作非，濁亂朝政。及英宗立，羣倖誅，而後勢燄少熄焉。） Consort Daji (Kongirat; honored as Empress Dowager in 1307; in 1315 given the lengthy honorific Empress Dowager Yitian Xingsheng Ciren Zhaoyi Shouyuan Quande Taining Fuqing; raised to Grand Empress Dowager in 1320 with the added epithet Weiwen Chongyou; died in 1322 and was posthumously titled Empress Zhaoxian Yuansheng). She was clever but unrestrained; once established in the Eastern Palace her excesses deepened. Within the palace the "Black Donkey Mother" Yilieshiba dominated affairs; outside, favorites such as Shiliemen and Niulin, together with chief minister Tiemudier, abused imperial favor and corrupted government. After Gegeen acceded, this whole clique was executed and her influence waned.

仁宗崩，英宗猶在東宮，鐵木迭兒復相，乃宣太后旨，召蕭拜住、朵兒隻至徽政院，與徽政使失里門、御史大夫禿忒哈雜問之，責以前違太后旨之罪。 When Emperor Renzong died, Emperor Yingzong was still in the Eastern Palace. Temüder again became chief minister. Proclaiming the empress dowager's order, he summoned Xiao Baizhu and Duoerzhi to the Office of Imperial Provisions and jointly interrogated them with Commissioner Shilimen and Censor-in-Chief Tutuqa, charging them with having earlier defied the empress dowager's will.
