Mengming dressed two concubines in men's garments and tested Shuo, saying: 'Could these two be given to you, master, as attendants?' Shuo was fond of rhymed speech, so he said to Mengming: 'Rather beg for wine to moisten the throat, / Than end one's years with a false-faced bloke.' Later, one morning, he suddenly went to visit Mengming wearing a plain cloth cap. Shortly thereafter, Mengming died. Prior to this, Mengming's Aide-de-Camp Shen Zhongyu had revised the regulations on whipping and flogging, making the ordinary penal code harsher. Shuo said to Yu: 'The howling of heaven and earth began from this; if you abolish the whipping regulations, you will become Regional Inspector.' Yu believed him and abolished them. When Mengming died, Zhongyu indeed took charge of provincial affairs. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.10.44) - [Next: 10.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.10.46) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.10.45) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.10.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.10.45) · Pramāṇa
