In the sixth year of Harmony, the son Xilai, a descendant of the Bo family, was banished from the capital and granted the title of Marquis of Southwest China. Then he promulgated new policies, sympathized with the people's sentiments, recited old songs, and reorganized the official system. The Wang family of the old Liao Dynasty was also summoned to take charge of the punishment department. When the king arrived, he built new prisons, killed old officials, suppressed powerful people, banned litigants, and made a noise in the court and the public. However, there was the Marquis Wang of Nanyue, who was angry that all his old party members and friends had been deposed by Bo Gong. He angrily fanned the flames and manipulated the power above and below. He issued proclamations and handed over memorials. Finally, he sent Lieutenant He to report to the emperor and sent Jin Yiwei to investigate and deal with the Wang family. Things may change suddenly, and Bo Gong may be afraid of spreading misfortune to himself, and abandonment may arise. At the beginning of the tenth year of Harmony, the king was demoted to the Ministry of Rites, and all his friends were tired and frustrated. On the starry night of the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he fled to the Western Pavilion in the capital of Shu. Duke Bo urgently ordered the school captain to chase him. Deported from West Hall. However, Bo Gong's force failed to arrest him, and the king was finally escorted to Kyoto by the royal guards. At that time, the crown prince was about to tour the west, and the emperor and the nine elders were worried and displeased. If they were close, they were worried that he would win the hearts of the people and achieve great success, and if they were far away, they would be worried that he would become a unique person and ascend the throne! Then Prime Minister Wen was sent to inform the world to urge him to reflect, and later he was sent to serve on his behalf, Minister Zhang, and dismissed from his official title. All the people were astonished when they heard about it, those who cherished it, those who ridiculed it, those who slapped it with fists, and those who had nothing to do with themselves. There is a folk song collected by Shansou Maogong and recorded: On March 15th, the young master was deposed. If the princes are like this, how can commoners protect their rights? Whether it is soft feelings or tenderness, it is just nonsense; the mountains and rivers are not prosperous, and they have to be conquered by bravery. You think the rivers are full of virtue, and you think they are already in Changchun, but in fact they are just Xiaoping.
