《明史·列传·卷一百六十七》
吉翔后来天天逢迎定国的门客，让他们劝定国推荐自己入内阁。于是他和定国的门客相互勾结，把持了朝廷内外的大权。天寿也复出当官。后来他们随永明王逃入缅甸，天寿先死，吉翔被缅甸人杀了。
时缅甸弟弑兄自立，欲尽杀文武诸臣，遣人来言曰： 蛮俗贵诅盟，请与天朝诸公饮咒水。 
Jixiang later flattered Dingguo’s retainers on a daily basis, having them persuade Dingguo to recommend him for a position in the imperial court. In this way, he and Dingguo’s retainers colluded with each other to control great power both in and outside court. Tianshou also reentered the court as an official. Later, they escaped to Burma with Emperor Yongming, but Tianshou died first and Jixiang was killed by the Burmese.
