既總軍中大柄，其名振主，梁祖亦使奸人離間，暴揚於天下，言蓋寓已代李，聞者寒心，武皇略無疑間。 and once he held the army's greatest authority, his name overshadowed even his lord's. The Founder of Liang sent agents to spread rumors through the realm that Gai Yu had already replaced Li Keyong. Men who heard it were chilled with fear, yet the Martial Emperor scarcely doubted him.
