齊王使路中大夫告於天子。 The King of Qi sent Palace Grandee Lu to carry word to the Son of Heaven.

天子復令路中大夫還告齊王：「善堅守，吾兵今破吳楚矣。」 The Son of Heaven instructed Palace Grandee Lu to return to Qi with this message: 'Hold fast in your defense. My armies have now defeated Wu and Chu.'

景帝聞之，以為齊首善，以迫劫有謀，非其罪也，乃立孝王太子壽為齊王，是為懿王，續齊後。 When Emperor Jing learned of this, he judged that Qi had been foremost in loyalty and that its flirtation with the rebels had been a response to coercion, not a true crime. He therefore installed King Xiao's heir, Shou, as King of Qi. Shou became known as King Yi, and the line of Qi continued.

事浸潯［不得］聞於天子。 The affair gradually came to the attention of the Son of Heaven.
