初，荊州長史張惟一以衡州蠻酋陳希昂為司馬，督家兵千人自防，惟一親將牟遂金與相忤，希昂率兵至惟一所捕之，惟一懼，斬其首以謝，悉以遂金兵屬之，乃退，自是政一出希昂，後入朝，遷常州刺史，過江陵入謁，諲伏甲擊殺之，誅黨偶數十人，積屍府門，內外震服。 At first chief administrator Zhang Weiyi of Jingzhou made the Man chieftain of Hengzhou Chen Xi'ang his military administrator with a thousand household troops for self-defense; Weiyi's intimate general Mou Suijin quarreled with him; Xi'ang led troops to seize Suijin at Weiyi's residence; frightened, Weiyi beheaded Suijin to apologize and turned all his troops over to Xi'ang, who then withdrew; thereafter government issued entirely from Xi'ang; later Xi'ang entered court and was made prefect of Changzhou; passing Jiangling he came to pay respects; Yin set ambush soldiers and killed him, executed several dozen of his partisans, and piled corpses at the prefectural gate—inside and outside were awed into submission.
