Tuotuo listened to this and looked at Ruyang King, saying, "Am I begging for these shackles to bind me, for exile to the frontier?"
Ruyang King looked at him and said, "Tuotuo, do you know where your mistake lies?"
"Where else could my mistake be? The cutting of vassals affected the interests of the princes, and this is just a backlash against me."
Ruyang King listened to this and looked at Tuotuo, saying, "It seems like you still haven't understood. Your mistake isn't in cutting vassals, but in selfishness!"
"Hmm? I'd like to hear the details."
Ruyang King looked at Tuotuo and said, "If you had really done it for the sake of Daqian and thus cut vassals, we would have had nothing more to say. But your motivation for cutting vassals wasn't pure; you did it for selfishness, for the desire for power,"
