漢高祖起義太原，從益召高行周以拒高祖，行周不至。 Han Gaozu raised a righteous army at Taiyuan. Congyi summoned Gao Xingzhou to resist Han; Xingzhou did not come.

從益母王淑妃與群臣謀迎高祖，或以謂燕兵在京師者猶數千，可以城守而待行周，淑妃不從，議未決。 Congyi’s mother the Princess Dowager Wang with ministers and officials deliberated welcoming Han Gaozu. Some said Yan troops in the capital still numbered several thousand and they could hold the city and await Xingzhou; the princess dowager did not agree; the deliberation was unresolved.
