代王母家薄氏，君子長者； The King of Dai's maternal family, the Bo clan, are people of virtue and propriety.

且代王又親高帝子，於今見在，且最為長。 Moreover, the King of Dai is Emperor Gaozu's own son, is still living, and is the eldest of the surviving princes.

於是大臣乃謀迎立代王，而遣朱虛侯以誅呂氏事告齊王，令罷兵。 The ministers then resolved to welcome the King of Dai and place him on the throne. They dispatched the Marquis of Zhuxu to inform the King of Qi that the Lü clan had been destroyed and to order him to disband his army.
