至於朝臣之中，或疑有天命而致害者，枉濫相繼，然而或疑有天命而不能害者，或不知有天命而不疑者，于時雖疑卿祖，而無如之何。 Among the court ministers as well, some whom he suspected of possessing the Mandate of Heaven were destroyed, and wrongful killings followed one after another. Yet some whom he suspected of possessing the Mandate of Heaven he could not destroy, and some who did not know they possessed the Mandate of Heaven he did not suspect. At that time he did suspect your grandfather, yet could do nothing about it.
