斧鉞所臨，罪唯元惡及留異父子。 Where the axe reaches, guilt rests only on the chief villain and Liu Yi and his son.

高祖應期撥亂，戡定安輯，熊曇朗、周迪、留異、陳寶應雖身逢興運，猶志在亂常。 The Founder met the age, quelled disorder, and brought peace. Xiong Tanlang, Zhou Di, Liu Yi, and Chen Baoying met the rising fortune yet still chose rebellion.

寶應及異，世祖或敦以婚姻，或處其類族，豈有不能威制，蓋以德懷也。 Baoying and Yi—Emperor Wen sometimes bound them by marriage or treated them as kin. Could he not have overawed them? He meant to win them by virtue.

遂乃背恩負義，各立異圖，地匪淮南，有為帝之志，勢非庸、蜀，啟自王之心。 Thereupon they betrayed kindness and broke faith, each plotting his own course; their lands were no Huainan, yet they nursed an emperor's ambition; their strength was no Yong or Shu, yet they roused the heart of kingship.
