是時,興唐尹王正言年老病昏,聞在禮至,呼吏草奏,吏已奔散,正言猶不知,方據案大怒,左右告曰:「賊已市中殺人,吏民皆走,欲誰呼邪?」 The Xingtang prefect Wang Zhengyan was old, sick, and half out of his wits. Hearing Zaili was near, he called for a memorial draft; the clerks were already gone. He still did not know—he was shouting at his desk—when attendants said: “The rebels are killing in the streets. Everyone has run. Whom will you call?”
