建興元年夏，臧柯太守朱褒擁郡反。 That summer of 223, Zhu Bao, prefect of Zangke, rose in revolt and took the commandery for himself.

〈《魏氏春秋》曰：初，益州從事常房行部，聞褒將有異志，收其主簿案問，殺之。〈The Wei Annals of Spring and Autumn record that earlier, Yizhou staff officer Chang Fang, on circuit duty, heard Zhu Bao was turning disloyal; he arrested Zhu's chief clerk for questioning and had him executed.

褒怒，攻殺房，誣以謀反。 Zhu Bao struck back: he killed Chang Fang and then framed him for treason.

褒猶不悛改，遂以郡叛應雍闓。 Zhu Bao refused to mend his ways and soon threw in his lot with Yong Kai, rebelling at the head of the commandery.

臣松之案：以為房為褒所誣，執政所宜澄察，安有妄殺不辜以悅姦慝？ Pei Songzhi argues that Chang Fang was framed by Zhu Bao and that the court should have sorted truth from falsehood instead of executing innocents to appease a traitor.
