〈（恒德匹敵）〉 (See the biographies of Hengde and Pike)〉

子匹敵。 His son Pike.

匹敵，字蘇隱，一名昌裔。 Pike, whose style name was Suyin, was also known as Changyi.

孝穆欲全城降，乃築重城圍之，數月，城中人陰來納款，遂擒延琳，東京平，以功封蘭陵郡王。 Xiaomu wished to secure the city by surrender and built heavy fortifications to besiege it. After several months people inside secretly came to submit, Dayan Lin was captured, the Eastern Capital was pacified, and for this Pike was enfeoffed Prince of Lanling.

先是，欽哀與仁德皇后有隙，以匹敵嘗為後所愛，忌之。 Earlier, Qinai and Empress Rendé had been at odds. Because Pike had once been favored by the empress, Qinai resented him.

時護衛馮家奴上變，誣後弟浞卜與匹敵謀逆，以皇后攝政，徐議當立者。 At that time the guard Feng Jianu submitted a report of treason, falsely accusing the empress's younger brother Chubuo and Pike of plotting rebellion so that the empress might hold the regency, and they might then deliberate who should be enthroned.

公主竊聞其謀，謂匹敵曰：「爾將無罪被戮。 The princess secretly heard of the plot and said to Pike: "You will soon be put to death though guilty of nothing.

匹敵曰：「朝廷詎肯以飛語害忠良？ Pike said: "Would the court truly harm the loyal on mere rumor?
