... For more than a decade, the Jing Garrison guarded the western gate of the realm. At first, we were stationed in the province, and just as we began to settle, to farm and build a life, we were dispatched to Jingzhou to clear the wilderness and raise a new military settlement. Before our seats were even warm, we were thrown beyond the frontier. Later, when the troops of Jingzhou and Yuanzhou revolted, it was all because of an emperor who was suspicious, cruel, and so assured of his own brilliance. In my opinion, he got what he deserved.
