先是，郡王高煦、高燧俱以慧黠有寵於成祖。 Earlier, his younger brothers the princes Gao Xu and Gao Sui had both won Chengzu's affection through quick wit.

而高煦從軍有功，宦寺黃儼等復党高燧，陰謀奪嫡，譖世子。 Gao Xu had campaigned with distinction; the eunuch Huang Yan and his faction backed Gao Sui, scheming in secret to supplant the heir and traducing him at court.

而高煦、高燧與其黨日伺隙讒構。 Gao Xu, Gao Sui, and their clique meanwhile looked daily for chances to intrigue against him.

其後黃儼等謀立高燧，事覺伏誅，高燧以太子力解得免，自是太子始安。 Later Huang Yan's group tried to place Gao Sui on the throne; the plot was uncovered and they were put to death; Gao Sui was spared only because the heir pleaded for him, and at last the crown prince could rest secure.
