8.34

（十五　庚寅）　真君十一年。崔皓甞見妻郭氏讀金剛經。乃奪之火焚棄廁。初崔皓為魏司徒。自恃才略。及魏主所寵任專制朝權。太武以皓監祕書。其黨閔湛者。勸皓刊所撰國史于石以彰直筆。皓從之。於是刊石立於郊壇。書魏先世事皆詳實。往來見者咸以為言。北人無不忿恚。相與譖皓於帝。以為暴陽國惡。帝大怒。使有司按皓罪狀。皓惶惑不能對。執皓檻車置于城南道側。使衛士路人行溲其面。呼聲嗷嗷徹于道曰。此吾投經溺像之報也。凌遲而死。時年七十矣。崔寇二家悉夷五族。坐及僚屬凡百二十人。皓既勸魏主除蕩釋氏。及經像毀廢。皓行路見遺像必停車溺之。及族誅尸無收者。又積怨在人。於是競溺皓尸。至糜潰乃止（已上見北史）。

(15. Gengyin) In the eleventh year of the Zhenjun era, Cui Hao once saw his wife, Lady Guo, reading the Diamond Sūtra; he snatched it, burned it with fire, and cast it into a privy. Earlier, when Cui Hao served as Minister over the Masses for the Wei, he relied on his own talents and strategy, and on being favoured and trusted by the Wei ruler, monopolising court power. Taiwu ordered Hao to oversee the Secretarial Archives. A partisan of his, Min Zhan, advised Hao to carve the national history he had compiled onto stone to display his upright brush. Hao agreed. Thereupon the stones were carved and erected at the suburban altar; the records of the Wei's ancestral deeds were all detailed and factual. Those who came and went saw it and all spoke of it; the northern peoples were all enraged. They joined together to slander Hao to the emperor, claiming that he had exposed the state's faults to the light. The emperor was greatly enraged and ordered the officials to investigate Hao's crimes. Hao was terrified and confused, unable to reply. Hao was seized, placed in a cage-cart, and set by the roadside south of the city; guards and passers-by were made to urinate on his face. His shrieks and wails resounded along the road, saying: "This is my retribution for throwing sūtras into privies and urinating on images!" He was put to death by slow slicing; he was seventy years of age at the time. The five clans of both the Cui and Kou families were entirely wiped out. Officials and subordinates implicated numbered one hundred and twenty persons in all. After Hao had urged the ruler of Wei to wipe out the Śākya clan and the scriptures and images were destroyed and discarded, whenever Hao walked the roads and saw an abandoned image, he would certainly stop his carriage and urinate on it. When his clan was executed, no one gathered his corpse; moreover, deep resentment had accumulated among the people, so they vied to urinate upon Hao's corpse until it decomposed and dissolved, and only then did they stop. (The above appears in the History of the Northern Dynasties.)
