In the thirty-first year: Vice Minister of Rites Wu Zicai memorialized, begging to issue ordination certificates; remonstrators denounced him for flattering the Buddha, and he was dismissed to return to his home fields. In the seventh month, the Jin bandit ruler Wanyan Liang moved his residence to Bianjing. In the ninth month, he personally led an invasion, his troops claiming to number one million. The śramaṇa Tanying of Zhongtianzhu Temple studied Chan and had awakened to the Book of Changes; he was repeatedly questioned in the palace. At this time, he divined with the Changes, stating that Liang would surely perish north of the Yangtze. In the tenth month, an imperial edict announced a personal campaign in western Zhejiang. Commander Li Bao's naval forces defeated them. Secretariat Drafter Yu Yunwen of Mizhou rallied the scattered soldiers of General Commander Wang Quan and defeated them at Caishi. Liang wished to cross at Guazhou and ordered the multitude: 'If we do not cross the river within three days, all generals shall be put to death.' The multitude suffered from his cruelty; at midnight the chieftains shot arrows into his tent, killed him, and fled.
