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.
魏勃紿召平曰：「王欲發兵，非有漢虎符驗也。
Wei Bo deceived Zhao Ping, saying, "The King wishes to raise troops, but he has no tiger tally from the Han court to authorize it.
勃請為君將兵衛衛王。」
Let me take command of the troops on your behalf and guard the King.'
召平信之，乃使魏勃將兵圍王宮。
Zhao Ping trusted him and handed the troops over to Wei Bo to surround the royal palace.
勃既將兵，使圍相府。
Once Wei Bo had command of the troops, he turned them around and surrounded the chancellor's residence instead.
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.
齊王與魏勃等因留瑯邪王，而使祝午盡發瑯邪國而并將其兵。
The King of Qi and Wei Bo detained the King of Langye, and dispatched Zhu Wu to mobilize every soldier in the Langye kingdom and fold them into the Qi army.
