趙王恐其為國患，欲上書言其陰事，為偃居中，不敢發。 The King of Zhao, fearing that Zhufu Yan would become a threat to his own state, wished to submit a memorial exposing his secret transgressions. But with Zhufu Yan positioned at the heart of the court, he dared not act.

及為齊相，出關，即使人上書，告言主父偃受諸侯金，以故諸侯子弟多以得封者。 As soon as Zhufu Yan was appointed Chancellor of Qi and departed from the capital through the passes, the King of Zhao immediately dispatched someone to submit a memorial accusing Zhufu Yan of taking gold from the feudal lords, which was why so many of their sons had obtained fiefs.
