故嘗為淮南王黥布相，有罪去，後復事黥布。 He had once served as chancellor to the King of Huainan, Qing Bu, but left after committing an offense. Later he returned to Qing Bu's service.

布欲反時，問平原君，平原君非之，布不聽而聽梁父侯，遂反。 When Qing Bu contemplated rebellion, he consulted the Lord of Pingyuan, who argued against it. Qing Bu disregarded his counsel and followed the advice of the Marquis of Liangfu instead, and so he rebelled.

漢已誅布，聞平原君諫不與謀，得不誅。 After Han destroyed Qing Bu, it came to light that the Lord of Pingyuan had counseled against the rebellion and had taken no part in the conspiracy, so he was spared.
