澄之喪，克寧不發，閱旬日，欲自領事，其行軍司馬馬鉉不許，克寧殺之，墨绖，加卒嬰城，將為亂。 When Cheng died, Kening did not begin the funeral rites; after ten days he wished to take command himself, but his campaigning deputy Ma Xuan would not permit it, so Kening killed him, wore ink mourning, reinforced the walls with troops, and was about to rebel.
