上欲勿誅,是時公孫弘為御史大夫,乃言曰:「齊王自殺無後,國除為郡,入漢,主父偃本首惡,陛下不誅主父偃,無以謝天下。」 The Emperor was inclined to spare him. But at that time Gongsun Hong was serving as Imperial Secretary, and he spoke up: 'The King of Qi killed himself and left no heir. His kingdom has been abolished and absorbed as a commandery of the Han. Zhufu Yan was the root cause of it all. If Your Majesty does not execute Zhufu Yan, there will be no way to answer to the empire.'
