外戚大臣魏其、武安之屬競逐於京師，布衣遊俠劇孟、郭解之徒馳騖於閭閻，權行州域，力折公侯。 Inside Chang'an the Dou and Tian factions jostled for power, while in the alleys bare-chested swordsmen like Ju Meng and Guo Xie built reputations that cowed nobles and bent whole commanderies.

自魏其、武安、淮南之後，天子切齒，衛、霍改節。 After the Dou–Tian feud and the Huainan revolt, the emperor set his jaw, and even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing learned to keep clients at arm's length.
