梁王恐，乃使韓安國因長公主謝罪太后，然後得釋。 Terrified, he sent Han Anguo to plead through the Eldest Princess before the empress dowager, and only then escaped worse punishment.

既至關，茅蘭說王，使乘布車，從兩騎入，匿於長公主園。 When he reached the frontier, Mao Lan advised him to enter in a plain covered cart with only two outriders and conceal himself in the Eldest Princess’s villa.

與長公主計之，乃分梁為五國，盡立孝王男五人為王，女五人皆令食湯沐邑。 He and the Eldest Princess agreed to split Liang into five kingdoms, enfeoffing each of the king’s five sons as a ruler and assigning each of his five daughters an income from a bathing-fief town.
