灌嬰在滎陽，聞魏勃本教齊王反，既誅呂氏，罷齊兵，使使召責問魏勃。 Guan Ying, still at Xingyang, learned that it was Wei Bo who had originally urged the King of Qi to rebel. Now that the Lü clan had been destroyed and Qi's army disbanded, he summoned Wei Bo to answer for his actions.

及悼惠王卒而哀王立，勃用事，重於齊相。 After King Daohui died and King Ai succeeded him, Wei Bo took charge of affairs and wielded more influence than the chancellor of Qi.

王既罷兵歸，而代王來立，是為孝文帝。 The King of Qi had already disbanded his army and returned home, while the King of Dai was welcomed to the capital and enthroned as Emperor Wen.

是歲，齊哀王卒，太子（側）［則］立，是為文王。 That same year, King Ai of Qi died, and his heir, Ze, ascended the throne, becoming known as King Wen.
