初，武皇既平王行瑜，旋師渭北，暴雨六十日，諸將或請入覲，且云：「天顏咫尺，安得不行覲禮。」 After the Martial Emperor had pacified Wang Xingyu, he turned his army north of the Wei. Rain poured for sixty days. Some generals asked to enter the capital for an audience, saying, "The emperor is within reach. How can we fail to pay our respects?"

武皇意未決，寓白曰：「車駕自石門還京，寢未安席，比為行瑜兄弟驚駭乘輿，今京師未寧，奸宄流議，大王移兵渡渭，必恐復動宸情。 The Martial Emperor hesitated. Yu said, "Since the emperor returned from Shimen to the capital, he has not yet rested secure on his throne. Wang Xingyu and his brothers have just terrified the court. The capital is not yet settled, and malicious talk circulates. If you cross the Wei with your army, you will surely alarm the throne again.
