念諸侯無足與計者，聞膠西王勇，好兵，諸侯皆畏憚之，於是乃使中大夫應高口說膠西王曰：「吳王不肖，有夙夜之憂，不敢自外，使使臣諭其愚心。」 He found no other prince fit to conspire with, but heard that the king of Jiaoxi was brave and warlike and that the other lords all feared him. He therefore sent Palace Counsellor Ying Gao with an oral message: “The king of Wu, unworthy as he is, lies awake at night with worry; he dares not keep you at arm’s length and sends me to voice his humble heart.”
高皇帝親垂功德，建立諸侯，幽王、悼惠王絕無後，孝文皇帝哀憐加惠，王幽王子遂，悼惠王子卬等，令奉其先王宗廟，為漢藩國，德配天地，明並日月。 Gaozu established the kingdoms. When the lines of King You of Zhao and King Daohui of Qi had been cut off, Emperor Wen compassionately made You’s son Sui, Daohui’s son Ang, and others kings so that they could tend their forefathers’ shrines and serve as Han’s outer bulwarks. His virtue matched Heaven and Earth, and his brilliance equaled the sun and moon.
今乃與楚王戊、趙王遂、膠西王卬、濟南王辟光、菑川王賢、膠東王雄渠約從謀反，為逆無道，起兵以危宗廟，賊殺大臣及漢使者，迫劫萬民，伐殺無罪，燒殘民家，掘其丘壟，甚為虐暴。 Now he has allied with Liu Wu of Chu, Liu Sui of Zhao, Liu Ang of Jiaoxi, Liu Piguang of Jinan, Liu Xian of Zichuan, and Liu Xiongqu of Jiaodong to plot rebellion. These lawless traitors menace the temples, murder ministers and envoys, coerce the people, kill the innocent, burn their homes, and dig open their graves. Their cruelty is monstrous.
