＇e＇　Khang；　the　coordinator：　〃Eunuchs　are　your　servants；　and　they　are　closer　to　you　than　any　other　officials。　In　a　court　where　officials　are　greedy　and　ambitious；　you　can　always　rely　on　the　eunuchs　for　their　loyalty。　But　some　eunuchs　are　foolish　and　corrupt；　and　relying　on　them　would　ruin　your　kingdom。　I　guess　a　kingdom　should　rely　on　able　officials………mandarins　or　eunuchs………and　at　the　same　time　must　be　able　to　check　their　power。　Zhuge　Liang；　as　an　official；　never　gives　us　anxiety；　because　he　checks　himself。　The　First　Emperor　of　Qin；　Cao　Cao　of　Wei；　and　many　other　men　built　huge　tombs　for　themselves；　where　they　hid　treasures　for　their　next　lives。　Zhuge　Liang　missioned　a　simple　grave　among　wild　hills；　where　he　could　continue　guarding　Shu。〃

Jia　Chong　set　Wei　Guan　over　the　city　of　Chengdu　and　sent　the　captive　Latter　Ruler　to　Luoyang。　A　few　officers………Fan　Jian；　Zhang　Shao；　Qiao　Zhou；　and　Xi　Zheng………acpanied　the　deposed　emperor　on　this　degrading　journey。　Liao　Hua　and　Dong　Jue　made　illness　an　excuse　not　to　go。　They　died　of　grief　soon　after。*

At　this　time　the　year…style　of　Wei　was　changed　from　Wonderful　Beginning；　the　fifth　year；　to　Great　Glory；　the　first　year　（AD　264）。　In　the　third　month　of　this　year；　since　nothing　could　be　done　to　assist　Shu　to　recover　its　independence；　the　troops　of　Wu　under　Ding　Feng　were　withdrawn　and　returned　to　their　own　land。

Now　Secretary　Hua　Jiao　sent　up　a　memorial　to　Sun　Xiu；　the　Ruler　of　Wu；　saying；　〃Wu　and　Shu　were　as　close　as　are　ones　lips　to　ones　teeth；　and　when　the　lips　are　gone　the　teeth　are　cold。　Without　doubt　Sima　Zhao　will　now　turn　his　thoughts　to　attacking　us；　and　Your　Majesty　must　realize　the　danger　and　prepare　to　meet　it。〃

Sun　Xiu　knew　that　he　spoke　truly；　so　he　set　Lu　Kang；　son　of　the　late　leader　Lu　Xun；　over　the　army　of　Jingzhou　and　the　river　ports　with　the　title　General　Who　Guards　the　East；　Sun　Yin　was　sent　to　Nanxu；　and　Ding　Feng　was　ordered　to　set　up　several　hundred　garrisons　along　the　river　banks。

In　Shu　when　Huo　Yi；　Governor　of　Jianning；　heard　that　Chengdu　had　been　taken；　he　dressed　himself　in　white　and　wailed　during　three　days；　facing　west　toward　the　capital。

〃Now　that　the　capital　has　fallen　and　the　Ruler　of　Shu　is　a　captive；　it　would　be　well　to　surrender；〃　said　his　officers。

Huo　Yi　replied；　〃There　is　a　hindrance。　I　know　not　how　fares　our　lord；　whether　he　is　in　fort　or　in　misery。　If　his　captors　treat　him　generously；　then　will　I　yield。　But　perhaps　they　will　put　him　to　shame；　and　when　the　prince　is　shamed；　the　minister　dies。〃

So　certain　persons　were　sent　to　Luoyang　to　find　out　how　fared　the　Latter　Ruler。

Soon　after　the　Latter　Ruler　reached　the　capital　of　Wei；　Sima　Zhao　returned。

Seeing　the　Latter　Ruler　at　court；　Sima　Zhao　upbraided　him；　saying；　〃You　deserved　death　for　your　vicious　courses………corrupt　morality；　unchecked　self…indulgence；　contempt　of　good　people；　and　misgovernment………；　which　had　brought　misfortune　upon　yourself！〃

Hearing　this；　the　face　of　the　Latter　Ruler　turned　to　the　color　of　clay　with　fear；　and　he　was　speechless。

But　the　courtiers　said；　〃He　has　lost　his　kingdom；　he　has　surrendered　without　a　struggle；　and　he　now　deserves　pardon。〃

Thus　the　Latter　Ruler　suffered　no　injury；　but　was　created　Duke　of　Anle。　Moreover；　he　was　assigned　a　residence　and　a　revenue；　and　he　received　presents　of　silk；　and　servants　were　sent　to　wait　upon　him；　males　and　females　in　total　one　hundred。　His　son　Liu　Dao　and　the　officers　of　Shu………Fan　Jian；　Qiao　Zhou；　Xi　Zheng；　and　others………were　given　ranks　of　nobility。　The　Latter　Ruler　expressed　his　thanks　and　left。

Huang　Hao；　whose　evil　influence　had　brought　the　kingdom　to　nought；　and　who　had　oppressed　the　people；　was　put　to　death　with　ignominy　in　the　public　place。

When　Huo　Yi　heard　all　these　things；　he　came　with　his　officers　and　yielded　submission。

Next　day　the　Latter　Ruler　went　to　the　residence　of　Sima　Zhao　to　thank　him　for　his　bounty；　and　a　banquet　was　prepared。　At　the　banquet　they　performed　the　music　of　Wei；　with　the　dances；　and　the　hearts　of　the　officers　of　Shu　were　sad。　Only　the　Latter　Ruler　appeared　merry。

Half　way　through　the　feast；　Sima　Zhao　said　to　Jia　Chong；　〃The　man　lacks　feeling。　That　is　what　has　ruined　him。　Even　if　Zhuge　Liang　had　lived；　he　could　not　have　maintained　such　a　man。　It　is　no　wonder　that　Jiang　Wei　failed。〃

Turning　to　his　guest；　Sima　Zhao　said；　〃Do　you　never　think　of　Shu？〃

〃With　such　music　as　this；　I　forget　Shu；〃　replied　the　Latter　Ruler。
