| | In winter, Zhongsun Mie convened with Jin Xunying, Qi Cuizhu, Song Huayuan, Weisunlinfu, Cao representatives, Zhu 娄 representatives, Teng representatives, Xue representatives, and Xiaozhu 娄 representatives at Qi. They then proceeded to build the city of Hulao. What was Hulao? It was a fiefdom of Zheng. Why is it mentioned that they built the city? Because they captured it. If they had captured it, why is it not stated that they took it? It was done to avoid disgrace for the Chinese states. Why was this done to avoid disgrace for China? Because it is customary to refrain from mentioning attacks on a state in mourning. Why was the event not attributed to Zheng? It was done to avoid disgrace for China. Ministers do not usually have subsequent actions; then why is the word "sui" (then) used here? To attribute blame to the ministers.
