Đinh Hạng Lang dating history

Details

I am Đinh Khuông Liễn, the Sincerity-Promoting, Compliant, and Transformed Disciple, the Regional Commander of Jinghai Military Circuit, the specially nominated Grand Preceptor of Inspection, Prince of Nam Việt, with a ten-thousand-household fief. For my deceased younger brother, the Great Virtuous Đính Noa Tăng Noa, did not act loyally and filially, did not serve his august father and eldest brother; he also harbored wickedness in his heart, antithetical to love and tolerance. I, the eldest brother, could not be tolerant [any longer]. Therefore, to keep whole and intact the affectional bonds in the family and rectitude in the state, I have the Great Virtuous Đính Noa Tăng Noa killed. The ancients had said: 'Competitors for official posts yield not [to each other]' and 'It's good to strike first'; now it's come to this. Now I pledge to have one hundred sutra columns made as an offering to my deceased younger brother and all people who had died in the past and will die in the future; I pray for their release from litigations and strifes. Firstly, may the Greatly Victorious and Brilliant Emperor forever hold hegemony over the Heaven's South and may his precious throne always be peacefully preserved.
