漢使者視憲王喪，棁自言憲王病時，王后、太子不侍，及薨，六日出舍，太子勃私姦，飲酒，博戲，擊筑，與女子載馳，環城過市，入牢視囚。 When Han envoys arrived to oversee King Xian's funeral, Tiao came forward and personally testified that during the king's illness, neither the queen nor the crown prince had attended him. After the king's death, they had left their mourning quarters within six days. He further reported that Crown Prince Bo had conducted illicit affairs, drunk wine, gambled, and played the bamboo zither. He had raced in carriages with women through the streets, ridden around the city walls and through the markets, and entered the prison to inspect the inmates.
