King Xuanbei said that he wanted to be the tyrant of Qingyu Kingdom, and Prime Minister Li Jiu asked him to think again. King Xuanbei said that with the Prime Minister here, he would not be afraid of having another tyrant.
King Xuanbei just wanted to see if his Prime Minister Li Ji would have a panicked expression. One moment he said he would throw the Prime Minister into the lake, the next moment he asked the Prime Minister to put on women's clothes and read the memorial, the next moment he wanted to cut open the Prime Minister's stomach to see what he had for breakfast...
Everyone said that King Xuanbei was a bastard, and that the Qingyu Kingdom should have perished long ago without its prime minister. But the prime ministers all said: "What the king wants his ministers to do, they should do it with all their heart."
Li Yue said he was ashamed to have such a brother. He goes out every day to buy wine and have sex with prostitutes, call friends, fight and cause trouble. Until his brother, Prime Minister Li Jiu, died in his arms.
King Xuanbei called him into the palace and said, "Now, you have killed my beloved minister."
