To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At length the gold seal of a prince was sent to Kowang, who was extremely glad, went far to meet it, and wrote a letter full rf gratitude, but written in such a style that the ministers said, "If he does not rebel, it shall be weU." He then invited or commanded Weiju into Yunnan, and angrily rebuked him for accepting office on the terms to which he had agreed. No ezcttaes or explanations were satisfactory, and Kowang ordered him away, for that " he must be slain." He was led out, when Knne of t...he officials reasoned with Kowang that Weiju should be kept alive ; for the business in which they were engaged was one of tlie greatest gravity, and Weiju was indispensably necessary. He saw they were right, sent out a messenger to release him, W the messenger found him already dead. Kowang was deeply repentant and said it was now impossible to effect their great purpose : — of raising Qwei Wang to the throne of all China. Seeing aU power sUpping into Kowang's hands, Bangchuen joined the Manchus in October, and his desertion threw Gwei Wang into a state of the most confusing terror ; ignorant what to do, not knowing where to look or to'go.
