既而諸大臣以恩之所被，皆朝廷親近之臣，而宗室劉信及青州劉銖等皆國家元勛，必有不平之意，且外慮諸侯以朝廷有私於親近也，於是議及四方侯伯，普加恩焉。 Then the great ministers reflected that those favored were all the court's intimate ministers, while the imperial clansman Liu Xin, Qing Prefecture's Liu Zhu, and others were all founding merit of the state and would surely feel discontent. They also feared that feudal lords would think the court showed partiality to intimates. Therefore they discussed extending favor to the lords and princes throughout the realm.
