梁王念太后、帝在中，而諸侯擾亂，一言泣數行下，跪送臣等六人，將兵擊卻吳楚，吳楚以故兵不敢西，而卒破亡，梁王之力也。 The King of Liang, mindful that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor stood at the center while the feudal lords threw the realm into chaos, wept with every word he spoke, tears streaming down his face. He knelt and sent off six of us as generals, who led troops to drive back Wu and Chu. Because of this, the armies of Wu and Chu dared not advance westward and were ultimately destroyed—all through the efforts of the King of Liang.
梁王父兄皆帝王，所見者大，故出稱蹕，入言警，車旗皆帝所賜也，即欲以侘鄙縣，驅馳國中，以夸諸侯，令天下盡知太后、帝愛之也。 The King of Liang's father and brothers were all emperors, so naturally his vision is grand. When he goes abroad he calls for the roads to be cleared, and when he returns he commands the imperial alert—but his carriages and banners were all bestowed upon him by the Emperor himself. He merely wished to display them through the humble counties and ride throughout his kingdom, to impress the feudal lords and let all under heaven know that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor loved him.
