齊王既聞此計，乃與其舅父駟鈞、郎中令祝午、中尉魏勃陰謀發兵。 When the King of Qi received this plan, he secretly conspired with his maternal uncle Si Jun, the Chamberlain for Attendants Zhu Wu, and the Commander Wei Bo to raise an army.

於是齊王以駟鈞為相，魏勃為將軍，祝午為內史，悉發國中兵。 The King of Qi then appointed Si Jun as chancellor, Wei Bo as general, and Zhu Wu as interior minister, and mobilized every soldier in the kingdom.

大臣議欲立齊王，而瑯邪王及大臣曰：「齊王母家駟鈞，惡戾，虎而冠者也。 The ministers debated making the King of Qi emperor, but the King of Langye and other ministers objected: 'The King of Qi's maternal family, the Si clan, are cruel and violent—tigers in human garb.
