Chapter 9 Shihu (Stone Tiger) 2(14)
Wei Xuan, the king of the imperial court, remonstrated, "Your Majesty despises the importance of the world and travels easily to and from dangerous places. If there is sudden chaos among mad men, even if he has wisdom and courage, what will he do Moreover, the corvee labors are not consistent with the season, the agricultural production of the people is ruined, and the voice of crying out sighs is full of people on the road. I'm afraid it's not something a man of virtue and holiness can bear.. "Shi Hu rewarded Wei with grain, money and silk, but the construction projects were more numerous. Shi Hu himself calmly visited Wei.
Shi Tao, the duke of Qin, was favored by Shi Hu, but Shi Xuan, the crown prince, hated him. He tried to please Shi Xuan by persuading him that "the vassal's subordinate officials and soldiers have exceeded the limit. We should gradually reduce the provinces to strengthen the power of the court.. "Shi Xuan asked Zhang Li to write an inscription, saying," The Duke of Qin, the Duke of Yan, the Duke of Yiyang and the Duke of Leping are allowed to set up 197 officials and 200 soldiers in the tent. Accordingly, officials and soldiers were assigned according to the level of rank at a ratio of one third.. The remaining 50,000 soldiers will be assigned to the East Palace.. "Therefore, all the princes hated each other, and the contradiction and estrangement became deeper and deeper.
