希崇與楚舊將徐威、陸孟俊、魯綰等謀作亂。 Xichong plotted rebellion with former Chu officers Xu Wei, Lu Mengjun, Lu Wan, and others.

希萼置酒端陽門，希崇辭以疾，威等縱惡馬十餘匹，以壯士執檛隨之，突入其府，劫庫兵，縛希萼，迎希崇以立。 Xie held a feast at Duanyang Gate. Xichong pleaded illness. Wei and the others turned loose more than ten vicious horses with armed men following, burst into the residence, seized the armory, bound Xie, and installed Xichong.
