戍兵有以廩食陳腐嘩言者,瓊知之,一日,出巡諸營,士卒方聚食,因取其飯自啖之,謂眾曰:「今邊鄙無警,爾等坐飽甘豐,宜知幸也。」 Some garrison troops had been grumbling that their grain rations were stale and rotten. Learning of this, Qiong one day made the rounds of the camps while the men were at their meal. He took a portion of their food and ate it himself, then told the assembled soldiers: "The frontier is at peace. You sit here eating your fill of good provisions—you ought to count yourselves fortunate."
