是月，特母哥挈雅里至，上怒不能盡救諸子，詰之。 That month Temuge brought Yali; Tianzuo was angry he could not fully save his sons and questioned him.

特母哥降金。 Temuge surrendered to Jin.

太保特母哥挾之出走，間道行至陰山。 Grand Protector Temuge seized him and fled; by a hidden route they reached Yin Mountain.

天祚慮特母哥生變，欲誅之。 Tianzuo feared Temuge would cause trouble and wished to execute him.

仗劍召雅里問曰：「特母哥教汝何為？」 Drawing his sword he summoned Yali and asked, "What did Temuge teach you to do?"

特母哥切諫，乃不復出。 Temuge urgently remonstrated; he then no longer went out.

以耶律敵列為樞密使，特母哥副之。 He made Yelü Dilie privy commissioner; Temuge was his deputy.
