Bian and Bingde had not first thought of Hailing. Changsheng was Xizong’s own brother. Bian said: "What of the Prince of Zu, Changsheng?"
由是海陵謂胙王有人望，不除之將不得立，故心忌常勝並阿楞。

陛下弟止有常勝、查刺。
Your Majesty has only two brothers—Changsheng and Chaci.

Xizong agreed and set Tangguo Bian and Xiao Yi to press Tesi; Tesi confessed under torture, and Changsheng was condemned.
於是，乃殺常勝及其弟查刺，並殺特思。
Then they killed Changsheng and his brother Chaci, and killed Tesi too.

He went on: "Puyangwen—Prince of Zu Yuan—seemed slow and tongue-tied, yet in business he outshone everyone.
