     Earlier, when your elder brother was in charge of the imperial carriage, he accompanied the emperor to the Yuyang Palace at Yong. He was helping to carry the emperor's hand-drawn cart down the portico steps when the cart struck a column and broke its axle. Thus impeached for lese-majesty, he had no choice but to fall upon his sword and take his own life.
