In the eighth month of the Sui, the ruler of Liang was summoned to court. Leading his ministers, the Liang ruler departed Jiangling. Since the Liang ruler was away, the Sui Emperor sent Cui Hongdu, Duke of Wuxiang, to lead troops to garrison Jiangling. Xiao Yan, King of Anping and uncle to the Liang ruler, and others feared that Hongdu would attack them, so they drove a population of one hundred thousand civil and military personnel, men and women, to flee to Chen. Hearing this, the Sui Emperor abolished the Liang state, appointed the Liang ruler Cong as Pillar of the State, and enfeoffed him as Duke of Ju. The three rulers of the Later Liang all revered and believed in the Buddha's Dharma, widely constructing stūpas and monasteries—a total of one hundred and eight monasteries, and three thousand two hundred monks and nuns (Bianzheng lu).
