The Fierce King of Huainan came to court, killed the Marquis of Biyang, and behaved with extreme arrogance.

淮南王為人剛，如有遇霧露行道死，陛下竟為以天下之大弗能容，有殺弟之名，柰何？」
The King of Huainan is a man of unyielding spirit. If he should fall ill on the road and die from exposure, Your Majesty will be seen as one who, despite ruling all under heaven, could not abide his own brother—and will bear the name of a fratricide. What then?'
淮南王至雍，病死，聞，上輟食，哭甚哀。
The King of Huainan died of illness on the road at Yong. When the Emperor received the news, he stopped eating and wept bitterly.
且陛下遷淮南王，欲以苦其志，使改過，有司衛不謹，故病死。」
Moreover, when Your Majesty exiled the King of Huainan, the intention was to chasten his spirit and bring him to repentance. It was the negligence of the escorting officials that caused his death.'
盎曰：「淮南王有三子，唯在陛下耳。」
Ang said, 'The King of Huainan had three sons. The matter rests entirely with Your Majesty.'
