宦官王承休居中用事，與成都尹韓昭內外相結，專采擇聲色，以固寵幸。 The eunuch Wang Chengxiu dominated the court, conspiring with the Chengdu prefect Han Zhao to stock the palace with entertainers and secure their hold on the emperor's favor.

歲餘，承休欲求旄鉞，乃以隴西花木入獻，又稱秦州山水之美，人物之盛，請後主臨幸，而韓昭讚成之。 After a year Chengxiu wanted a full military commission; he sent Longxi flowers and trees as tribute, praised Qinzhou's scenery and beauties, and asked the emperor to visit in person, with Han Zhao seconding the plan.
