乙辛欲害太子,以達魯古凶果可使,遣與近侍直長撒把詣上京,同留守蕭撻得夜引力士至囚室,紿以有赦,召太子出,殺之,函其首以歸,詐云疾薨。 When Yixin wished to kill the crown prince, he judged Dalugu cruel and resolute enough for the task; he sent him with Inner Attendant Direct Chief Saba to the Upper Capital, where together with the acting commander Xiao Tade they led strongmen by night to the prison chamber, deceived the prince with word of an amnesty, called him out and killed him, boxed his head and returned, and falsely reported that he had died of sudden illness.
