"Mao, the Noble Rural Duke, is merely the son of a vassal king's concubine. He never had any right to inherit the imperial throne!"

"The treacherous minister Sima Shi coerced the Empress Dowager and fraudulently proclaimed Mao, the Noble Rural Duke, emperor. Yet this man is narrow-minded, brutal, and savage!"

"Second, he dispatched eunuchs to beat the realm's high ministers and confiscate their households. His methods were so brutal that no one dared speak!"
"Third, he is unfilial toward the Empress Dowager. He dismissed her relatives and persecuted them to intimidate her!"
"Fourth, he practices archery within the Imperial Palace, aiming his arrows toward the Empress Dowager's palace!"
"Fifth, he wantonly murders eminent ministers. Rou, the Minister over the Masses, was an upright veteran of three reigns, yet suffered his murderous hand. Fu, the Grand Tutor, whose wisdom is known throughout the realm, suffered humiliating punishment. Xiang, the Grand Minister of Ceremonies, was even the emperor's teacher, yet he dismissed and humiliated him!! Such are the depths of his brutality!"
"Sixth, cruelty is his nature. He dispatches his palace officials throughout the land to demand bribes. Anyone who refuses is branded with infamy, executed or dismissed.
