冬十月，哀宗議親出捍禦，以奴申參知政事、兼樞密副使，完顏習捏阿不樞密副使、兼知開封府、權參知政事，總諸軍留守京師。
In the tenth month of winter, Emperor Aizong planned to lead the defense in person. He left Nushen as vice grand councilor and concurrent vice commissioner of military affairs, and Wanyan Xinie Abu as vice commissioner of military affairs, concurrent prefect of Kaifeng, and acting vice grand councilor, to command all forces and hold the capital.
阿不曰：「吾二人惟有一死耳。」
Abu said: "The two of us have nothing but death to offer."
阿不屈指曰：「七日矣。」
Abu counted on his fingers and said: "Seven days."
忽聞召京城士庶計事，奴申拱立無語，獨阿不反復申諭：「國家至此無可奈何，凡有可行當共議之」，且繼以涕泣。
When the capital's officials and commoners were suddenly summoned to deliberate, Nushen stood with folded hands and said nothing. Abu alone kept repeating: "The state has come to this pass and can do nothing—whatever may yet be done, let us discuss it together," and wept as he spoke.
立麾其党先殺阿不，次殺奴申及左司郎中納合德輝等，余見《崔立傳》。
Cui Li signaled his men; they killed Abu first, then Nushen and left bureau director Nahe Dehui and others—the rest is recorded in the Biography of Cui Li.
哀宗北禦，以孤城弱卒托之奴申、阿不二人，可謂難矣。
When Emperor Aizong went north to resist the invaders, entrusting a besieged city and a feeble garrison to Nushen and Abu alone, the task was formidable indeed.
