Bao, Prince of Ji, was first made a prince in the thirteenth year of Xiantong, enfeoffed at the same time as the Prince of Mu. Of all the brothers he was the most worthy. At first, when Xizong died, the prince was the eldest and was about to be enthroned, but Yang Fugong alone argued for Zhaozong to succeed. In the first year of Qianning, Li Maozhen and others entered the capital with troops and plotted to depose the emperor and enthrone the prince; but it happened that Li Keyong drove out Xingyu with his army, and the plan was dropped.
