31 殷本紀:
百姓怨望而諸侯有畔者,於是紂乃重刑辟,有炮格之法。以西伯昌、九侯、鄂侯為三公。九侯有好女,入之紂。九侯女不喜淫,紂怒,殺之,而醢九侯。鄂侯爭之彊,辨之疾,并脯鄂侯。西伯昌聞之,竊嘆。崇侯虎知之,以告紂,紂囚西伯羑里。西伯之臣閎夭之徒,求美女奇物善馬以獻紂,紂乃赦西伯。西伯出而獻洛西之地,以請除炮格之刑。紂乃許之,賜弓矢斧鉞,使得征伐,為西伯。而用費中為政。費中善諛,好利,殷人弗親。紂又用惡來。惡來善毀讒,諸侯以此益疏。
Annals of Yin:
The people murmured, and when the nobles rebelled Zhouxin increased the severity of his punishments, instituting the punishment of roasting. He appointed Chang Chief of the West, the prince of Jiu, and the prince of E his three principal ministers. The prince of Jiu had a beloved daughter who was sent in to the emperor, and when she disapproved of his debaucheries the tyrant killed her in his rage, and made mincemeat of her father. The prince of E objected, and vehemently remonstrated with him, whereupon he was sliced to pieces. Chang Chief of the West, hearing of all this, sighed furtively, but 'Tiger' the prince of Chong, being aware of it, informed the tyrant, who thereupon cast Chief of the West into prison at Youli. His servant Hongyao and others procured a pretty girl, rare curiosities, and fine horses, which they presented to the tyrant, who thereupon pardoned Chief of the West. The latter went forth and gave the country to the west of the Luo river to the tyrant, and begged that he would abolish the punishment of roasting. The emperor agreed to this, and gave him bows, arrows, axes, and halberds, with a commission to start on a warlike expedition. He was appointed Chief of the West, and Feizhong was employed in the government. Feizhong was fond of flattery and greedy of gain, so the men of Yin were not attached to him. The tyrant also gave Elai an appointment, but Elai was fond of vilifying persons, so the princes became more and more estranged from the court.
