In the spring of the second year of Yongping, the prince-in-law stationed troops in Jiangcheng. The emperor was so frightened that he moved the generals of the army to the court.
The speech said: I am a northern barbarian. Because the princess became an official, the shepherd army has relied on the emperor's honor and favor until now. Now it has been blessed by heaven. I dare not get a salary without virtue. I only hope to follow the work of eagles and dogs. I will see the emperor's country being covered by the sea, and the mysterious wind will be harmonious outside the area.
He also swore by the river: I dare not bring down my clan. The emperor's heart is at ease.
In July of the second year, the eldest princess sent troops to the capital. The prince-in-law responded from the south and launched an army to attack. The country changed accordingly.
