Moreover, taking warning from the catastrophe at Heyin, he harbored a secret intention to plot against Rong. In the eighth month, when Rong and Yuan Tianmu entered the court, the Emperor struck Rong down with his own hand; Tianmu also died. Joyful clamor filled Luoyang within and without, and the hundred officials entered to offer congratulations. In the tenth month, the inspector of Fenzhou, Erzhu Zhao, hearing of his elder brother Rong's death, led cavalry from Fenzhou to occupy Jinyang. Erzhu Shilong and Zhao together elevated the Grand Administrator of Taiyuan, King of Changguang, Ye, to ascend the imperial throne, changing the reign era to Jianming. In the twelfth month, Zhao, with light cavalry doubling their marches, knocked at the palace gates, seized Emperor Xiaozhuang, transferred him to Jinyang, and strangled him to death (Beishi). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.207](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.207) - [Next: 2.209](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.209) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037~en-mt.2.208) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.208](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.208) · Pramāṇa
