Xue Zong (薛 Synthesizer), courtesy name Jingwen, is a native of Zhuyi County, Pei County. When he was young, he took refuge with his clan and went to Jiaozhou to study under Liu Xi. After Shi Xie returned to Sun Quan, he recruited Xue Zong as a general of the Five Senses and served as the Taishou of Hepu and Jiaotong. At that time, Jiaozhou had just been developed, and Shi Lüdai led a large army to go on a crusade, and Xue Zong marched forward with him to cross the Southern Expedition until Jiuzhen. After completing the mission, he returned to the capital and worked as a servant of the Gurudwara. The Western Shu emissary Zhang Feng dismantled the glyph of Kan Ze's name in front of Sun Quan to mock Kan Ze, who could not reciprocate. Xue Zong got up and paraded to pour wine, and took advantage of the opportunity to persuade Zhang Feng to say, "What is Shu? There are dogs for the only, no dogs for the Shu, horizontal eyes, insects into the belly. Zhang Feng said, "Don't you want to tear down your Wu characters anymore?" Xue Zong immediately spat out: "No mouth is heaven, there is mouth for Wu, King's Landing is the capital of all nations, and the son of heaven is the capital." So the people in the audience laughed, and Zhang Feng had nothing to say. Xue Zong's thinking agility is mostly like this. Lü Dai was conscripted out of Jiaozhou, and Xue Zong, worried that the person who would succeed Lü Dai was not a suitable candidate, said: "Once upon a time, Emperor Shun toured the south and died in Cangwu. In the Qin Dynasty, Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiang County were set up, and the four counties belonged to China, which was a long-standing thing. Zhao Tuo started a business in Panyu to appease the monarchs who had surrendered to Baiyue, that is, in the area south of Zhuguan. Emperor Wu of han killed Lü Jia, opened up nine counties, and set up a toe thorn Shi Lai to guard these places. Its land is long and long, customs and habits are different, languages are different, multiple translations are clear, the people are like animals and animals, there is no difference between old and young, hair is tied up, barefoot is under, the head is tied, the placket is left open, the official is set, even if there is, it is the same as none. Since then, a large number of exiled criminals in the Central Plains have mixed with them, gradually allowing them to learn to write, rough official language, and passing on the word, so that they can see the etiquette and indoctrination. Later, Xi Guang was too shou for jiaotong and Ren Yan for jiuzhen taishou, so he taught them to cultivate with a plough and let them wear hats and shoes; Set up media officers for them so that they know how to marry; Build schools and teach them in the classical righteousness. Since then, for more than four hundred years, most of the taishou have been like this. When the people first arrived in their own places, except for the formal marriages of the prefectures and counties in the Zhuya area, other places waited until August to recognize themselves as portals, and when the people gathered to meet, men and women in vernacular, all of them sought suitable objects on their own, and they formed a marriage, and their parents could not stop them. The two counties of Mi Ling and Jiuzhen Dupang were both brothers who married sisters-in-law after the death of their brothers, and the society took this as a custom, and the magistrates resigned themselves to themselves and did not prohibit them. Both men and women in Nichinan Are Naked and are not ashamed of it. From this, we can see that they are the same as the worm beasts, but they only have one face. However, its land is vast, the population is large, the terrain is dangerous, the miasma is poisonous, it is prone to rebellion, and it is difficult to make them obey governance. The county officials ruled and controlled them, proclaimed decrees to make them subjugated, and the rents of the farmers were requisitioned as appropriate; what was valuable was that they paid tribute to valuable pearls, herbs, ivory, rhino horns, tortoiseshells, corals, glass, parrots, jadeite, peacocks and other strange specialties collected from afar, enriching the collection of precious playthings, without relying on them to pay taxes to supply the Central Plains. However, in the domains thousands of miles away, the choices of local officials were mostly not carefully examined. The laws of the Han Dynasty were loose, and most of the officials were arrogant, so they repeatedly violated the laws. The decline of Zhuya was caused by local officials seeing that the local people's hair was beautiful and forcibly cutting it off to make wigs. As far as I saw when I entered the place, Huang Gai, a South Sea man, was appointed as the Taishou of Ri Nan, and as soon as he got out of the car, he beat the main book to death because the supply was not sufficient, and he himself was expelled. Jiuzhen Taishou Danmeng set up a banquet for his father-in-law Zhou Jing, invited the high officials together, drank and had fun, Gong Cao Fanxin got up to dance with Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing refused to get up, Fan Xin was still forcing, Dan Meng angrily hit Fan Xin with his staff, and beat him to death in the county government. Fan Xin's younger brother Fan Miao led an army to attack the county capital, shooting Dan Meng with a poisoned arrow, and Dan Meng was killed by an arrow. Jiaotong Taishou Shi Xie sent troops to the crusade, but could not win. Zhu Fu, a former assassin of the History Society, made his fellow villagers Yu Bao, Liu Yan, and many others as officials, abusing and abusing the people, and forcing them to pay taxes. When a yellow fish is caught, the rice must be confiscated, the people resent the rebellion, and the mountain thieves will move accordingly to attack the prefecture and the county. Zhu Fu fled to the sea and died in exile. Then there was Zhang Jin, a native of Nanyang, who had a vendetta against Liu Biao, the mu of Jingzhou, and his own army was weak and the enemy was strong, and he sent troops to fight every year, and all the generals were very tired of it, so they went to stay at will. Zhang Jin was slightly restrained and not powerful enough to intimidate the people, and was humiliated by these people, and was eventually killed. Later, there was Lai Gong, a benevolent and cautious person among his ancestors, but he did not know the current affairs. Liu Biao also sent Wu Ju, a native of Changsha, to serve as the Taishou of Cangwu. Wu Ju is a rash and fierce warrior, who is not convinced by Lai Gong, and resents lai gong, who takes Lai Gong away, and Lai Gong asks Bu Qi for help. At that time, Zhang Jin's old generals Yi Liao and Qian Bo had a large number of party members, and they were annihilated one by one, and the social order and state law and discipline were stabilized, but they were soon drafted out of the country by the imperial court. After Lü Dai came, there was a rebellion that arose from the Shi clan. When he led the large army of Yuedi to the south, when the crusade was pacified, he changed the magistrates, showed the edicts of the ming dynasty, and exerted his power and power, and the people of all sizes were educated. From this, we can see that in appeasement of the frontier areas, there must be suitable candidates. The candidates for the state pastoral and county guards must be clean and capable people, and the barren and remote frontier land is even more a blessing related to the people and the country. Although Jiaozhou today has been roughly settled in name, there are still high-cool bandits. Among them, the borders of the four counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Zhuguan have not yet been settled, and there are still thieves and rebels, which is a special gathering place for rebels and fugitives. If Lü Dai did not return to the south to take up his post, the new Assassin Shi would have to be carefully and carefully selected, and his people would be able to command the eight counties, have strategic wisdom, and gradually govern Gaoliang by gentle means, give him prestige and honor, give him a position of power, and order him to govern effectively, so as to make up for and fill the gap that Lü Dai had transferred. If they are only middle-class talents, abide by the rules and regulations, and have no strange tricks, then the evil forces will flourish day by day, and they will become a great disaster for a long time. Therefore, the security of the country lies in the position of the person entrusted to it, and it must not be unclear. I was privately worried that the imperial court had neglected or despised the candidates for the officials of Jiaozhou, so I took the liberty of offering my foolish loyalty in order to broaden the thoughts of His Majesty Shengming. "In the third year of the Huanglong Dynasty (231), Sun Wei, the Marquis of Jianchang, was made a general of the Zhen Army, stationed in Banzhou, and appointed Xue Zong as the chief historian, who was in charge of various political affairs externally and taught the scriptures internally. After Sun Wei's death, Xue Zong entered the imperial court as a thief Cao Shangshu and was promoted to Shangshu servant. At that time, Gongsun Yuan surrendered to Eastern Wu and rebelled, and Sun Quan was very angry and wanted to personally send an army to conquest. Xue Zong exhorted: "The emperor is the head of all nations, and the people of the world are the ones who maintain their lives." Therefore, his dwelling should be reset to the portal, knocking on the wooden garnet to guard against accidents; His travels cleared the roads and tempered the speed of the carriages and horses to form a majestic momentum, which was to preserve the good fortune of the peace of all nations and soothe the hearts of the people of the world. Once upon a time, Confucius hated the situation and used words to float in the East China Sea, and Ji Yu was very happy to hear that he was rejected because of his undesirable talent. Emperor Yuan of Han planned to take the imperial ship, and Xue Guangde begged to cut his neck and dye the car with blood. Why? Because water and fire are the most dangerous things, not what emperors should be involved in. The proverb says, 'The son of a thousand gold shall not sit under the eaves of a hall house'. What about the Ten Thousand Multiplications? Now that Liaodong is a small country, there are no strong cities and defensive measures, the weapons are not sharp, the army is scattered like a herd of dogs and sheep, and it will be able to win, indeed as the edict of The Holy Ming said. However, the land is cold and barren, the grain cannot grow, and the people are accustomed to riding horses and migrating in a wandering way. Suddenly I heard that the army had fallen, and I thought that I could not be hostile, the birds and beasts scattered, drove the horses away, scattered and fled for their lives, and no one or one horse could be seen, although there was no one to gain an empty space, and there was no benefit in guarding it, which was one of the reasons why the troops could not be sent. Coupled with the turbulent waves of the sea and the dangers of Chengshan Island, the sea tide is uncertain, the wind and waves are inevitable, and in the blink of an eye, people and ships have undergone abnormal changes. Although there is the benevolence of Yao and Shun, the wisdom cannot be exercised; There is the bravery of Meng Ben and Xia Yu, but the strength cannot be used. This is the second reason why troops cannot be sent. Then there is the thick fog that fills the sky, and the salt water evaporates on the surface of the sea, which is easy to suffer from beriberi and transmutation, and those who sail rarely do not suffer from this disease. This is one of the third reasons why troops cannot be sent. The divine by nature, often shown by the signs of good fortune, will surely put an end to the troubles and make the people well; Auspicious signs are increasingly emerging, the sea is about to be pacified, the rebellion is fierce, and the demise is imminent. Once the Central Plains are pacified, Liaodong will inevitably perish on its own, and it will only need to be surrendered. Now they have to go against the inevitable laws, find the most dangerous obstacles, and ignore the stability of Kyushu. Venting a moment's anger is not a major decision of the community, but also a thing that has never been done since the founding of the company, which is why the hundred officials sigh sideways, eat and sleep. I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will suppress the power of thunder, endure the wrath of the wrath, and ride the bridge safely, away from the danger of walking on the ice, so that the courtiers can rely on your well-being, and the people of the world will be blessed. At that time, the courtiers had many advices, so Sun Quan did not go north.
On the twenty-second day of the first month of the third year of Huang Long (231), Sun Quan ordered Xue Zong to write a tribute to the ancestors in general terms, and Xue Zong undertook the edict, hastily drafted the words, and the words were honest and beautiful. Sun Quan said: "Add another head and tail to make the praise full of three parts." Xue Zong added the words, the words were very novel, and everyone unanimously praised them. In the third year of Chi Wu (240), Xue Zong was transferred to the post of Cao Shangshu. In the fifth year of Chi Wu (242), he was appointed as the Crown Prince's Young Fu and concurrently held the post of Electoral Department as usual. In the spring of the sixth year of Chi wu (243), Xue Zong died. In his lifetime, he wrote poems with difficulties and counted tens of thousands of words, called "Private Load", and also examined the "Five Sects of Illustrations" and "Erjing Solution", all of which were circulated in the world.
Xue Zong's son Xue Jue (薛珝), the official to the general of Weinan, fell ill and died on the way when he went on a campaign to return to the division. Xue Jue's younger brother Xue Ying (薛莹), also known as Xue Ying (薛莹), was initially a Zhongshu Lang (中書郎) in the Secret Palace, and after Sun Xiu ascended the throne, Xue Ying became a regular attendant in the Scattered Horse. A few years later, he resigned due to illness. At the beginning of Sun Hao's reign, Xue Ying served as a left law enforcer, promoted to the position of Cao Shangshu (曹尚書), and then became the crown prince of Zhili, and also served as a concurrent taifu. In the third year of Jianheng (271), Sun Hao posthumously lamented the remains of Xue Ying's father Xue Zong and ordered Xue Ying to write a sequel.
Xue Ying dedicated a long poem (the translation of this poem cannot be found for the time being):
Only the first of the subjects, the past shi to the Han. The world is long, quite involved in Taiwanese viewing. The father of the courtiers suffered the difficulties of the times. The gold lost its throne, and the state family was destroyed. The Promised Land of Shizi, the Relics of the House. Heaven reveals its heart, and the southeast is home. At the beginning of the stream, trapped in the wild hanging. The Emperor Kaiji, Ender Yuanshi. Temon beckoned, to save the mud. Release the scarf brown, the orthopedic note. As Shou hepu, in the corner of the sea. Moved to Beijing, and then upgraded the hub. Withering is more glorious, and the absolute system is restored. From the beginning of the imagination, not the beginning of the wish. But also pampered, the heart is full. Heavy value Emperor Wen, built the eastern palace. It is a young fu, Guanghua Yilong. Ming Ming is a holy heir, the most virtuous and humble. Courtesy and courtesy, but only abundant. Mourn your predecessors and recite their loyalty. Hong En did not report it, and the commission ended. He despised him, but Kun and his brother. Lucky to be born and nurtured, to complete the remains. After passing through the court, it is difficult to open up. Don Frake, Zhi Cun Coupled Farming. Pilgrimage, Renze Flowing. Posthumously record the ancestors, and they will not succeed. It is a blessing or a pull, and it is honored. He was ordered to march south. Flags are prepared, and the golden leather is raised. And the courtiers are ugly, the real is dark and the real is small. Both the front track, the opportunity of the characters. Fu Donggong, successor to Hehui. Only if you don't catch the first, is it a violation. Qiande bo is good, and elegance is expensive. Mourning the deceased, hoping to preserve the relics. How foolish, once nothing seemed. Look at the old favor, take care of this stubbornness. Who can endure, and be honest and live. Night and night, self-denial. Father and son brothers, blessed for generations. Death is only the grass, and the oath of life is to kill. Although it is gray, there is no retribution.
In that year, He Ding proposed to dig the Holy Creek to connect the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and Sun Hao ordered Xue Ying to lead 10,000 people to go, but finally due to the difficulty of construction due to many boulders, the project was stopped and returned, and he became the left governor of Wuchang. Later, He Ding was killed, and Sun Hao pursued the excavation of the Holy Creek, sent Xue Ying to prison, and exiled her to Guangzhou. The Right Kingdom Shi Hua said: "For the subjects to hear that the five emperors and three kings have set up historical officials, narrating the merits and virtues, so that they will be passed on for generations." Sima Qian and Ban Gu of the Han Dynasty were both outstanding talents of the famous Xian I, and the history books they wrote were exquisitely written and passed down to future generations together with the Six Classics.
The Great Wu Kingdom inherited the Mandate of Heaven and established the state in the southern region. In the last year of the Emperor's reign, he ordered Taishi Ling Ding Fu and Lang Zhongxiang Jun to begin writing the Book of Wu. Ding Fu and Xiang Jun were not historical officials, and their writings were not worth recording and passing on to the world. At least during the imperial period, he also sent Wei Yao, Zhou Zhao, Xue Ying, Liang Guang, and five of us to search for past historical events and jointly write things, which already had the material of the entire history book. Zhou Zhao and Liang Guang died first, Wei Yao failed the emperor to violate the law, Xue Ying became a general, and was exiled for negligence, so the writing of this history book was stopped and abandoned, and it has not yet been written. If I were to undertake the great task of writing, I would definitely follow the old path of Ding Fu and Xiang Jun, and I would probably miss the great achievements of the Great Emperor and lose the grandeur of the contemporary era. Xue Ying's knowledge is extensive, his writing is more exquisite, and among his colleagues, he is the chief. Although there are many people in service today, there are very few people who can record and narrate, like Xue Ying. Therefore, I tirelessly regret his talent for the country, and I really want to make the "Book of Wu" completed in its rapid success, so that it can continue to be in the history books of the previous generation. After the book was reported, even if I retreated to fill the gully, I had nothing to regret anymore. Sun Hao then recalled Xue Ying and made him Zuo Guoshi.
Soon, Xue Ying's candidate for the same county, Cao Shangshu MiaoYi, was relegated to Hengyang Taishou because he insisted on his own opinions and was hated by the villains. After taking office, he considered that he was blamed and questioned because of his own affairs, so he confessed his mistake and apologized. Therefore, he stopped by to visit Xue Ying, and was slandered by the villain, saying that Miao Yi did not accept the crime and invited many guests to gather at Xue Ying's place. As a result, Miao Yi was arrested and imprisoned, exiled to Guiyang, and Xue Ying was sent back to Guangzhou. Before arriving in Guangzhou, Xue Ying was summoned back and reinstated as an official. At that time, there were many errors in government decrees and laws, and the measures were harsh and complicated, and Xue Ying often put forward suggestions that were beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood, requesting that the punishment be reduced and labor forced labor be reduced, so as to help and nurture the people, and some of them were adopted and implemented. Xue Ying was promoted to Guanglu Xun.
In the fourth year of the Tianji Dynasty (280), the Jin army conquered Sun Hao, and Sun Hao sent a letter of surrender to Sima Ling, Wang Hun, and Wang Jun (濬? ) at the request for surrender. The text of the descending book was drafted by Xue Ying. After Xue Ying arrived in Luoyang, she was summoned by Emperor Jin to meet and xu gong, and was appointed as a regular attendant on a scattered horse, and she was methodical in handling things and answering questions. In the third year of Jin Taikang (282), Xue Ying died. He wrote eight books entitled "New Proposals".
Comments: Xue Zong's common sense is approved, for Wu Liangchen. And Ying usurped, allowed to have the first wind, but in the violent and cool dynasty, repeatedly appeared in the list, the gentleman was destroyed.
