延壽自以身無功德，何以能久堪先人大國，數上書讓減戶邑，又因弟陽都侯彭祖口陳至誠，天子以為有讓，乃徙封平原，並一國，戶口如故，而租稅減半。 Yanshou felt himself without merit and wondered how he could long hold his forebear's great fief. He repeatedly memorialized to yield and reduce his households, and through his younger brother Marquis of Yangdu Pengzu spoke his utmost sincerity. The emperor took this as genuine yielding and transferred the enfeoffment to Pingyuan, merging the two states into one with the same households but half the rent and tax.
