WANG RONGPEI
In May 223, Prince of Baima, Prince of Rencheng and I went to the capital to attend the seasonal sacrificial rites.
When we reached Luoyang, Prince of Rencheng (Cao Zhang) passed away.
In July, Prince of Baima and I were ready to go together on our journey to our respective feoffs.
However, the royal missionary said that it is proper for us to go separately.
I hated the idea very much because our lifelong separation would come in a few days.
Hence, I presented the following poem to Prince of Baima to emit my feelings of indignation.
