Volume 105 Tables 6: Ministers with Outstanding Service 1

自昔帝王受命，驅策羣力，以有天下。迨區宇既甯，疇庸論功，列爵崇報，壹時攀鱗附翼之士，奮起兜牟之中，剖符析珪，爰及苗裔，德意厚矣。唐、宋以來，稍異曩制。房、喬遠勢，首讓世封，是以英、衛子孫，齒于甿隸。而宋代勳階祇崇虛號，祖孫父子各擬名邦，初無世及之文，非復承家之舊。至明祖開基，乃曠然復古。凡熊罴之宿將，帷幄之謀臣，生著號而殁襲封，茅土之頒，殆逾百數。馴及季年，黨獄蔓延，剗削芟殊，存者不及三四。然觀鐵榜所列，訓誡之辭，則河山之誓，白馬之盟，初意固不其然。高危滿溢，亦其自取焉耳。乃若文皇差「靖難」之勞，英宗懋「奪門」之賞，迹參佐命，籍次元功，以視開國諸臣，亦喝可同年而語乎！世宗中葉，開冊府之舊藏，修繼絕之墜典，于是鄂、曹、衛、信之裔，復列徹侯，延其世緒，天下翕然歸厚。雖宋、颍、韓、泣終于剿絕，而自余推誠宣力、名載丹書者，奕葉貂蟬，保守祿位，典宿衛，領京營，鎮陪京，督漕運，寄隆方嶽，階晉公孤，家分典瑞之榮，朝無酎金之罰，較諸西京世胄，殆將過之。今考其襲替歲月見于實錄者，作功臣表，以與紀傳相表裏。或抵牾散轶，時世無可考稽，則略而不書，固史氏阙文之義云爾。

Since ancient times, whenever an emperor accepted Heaven's mandate, he mobilized the collective strength of his followers to win the empire. Once the empire was secure, rulers weighed merit and rewarded service, ennobling their supporters. Men who had seized their chance beside the throne, risen from the ranks, and received fiefs and insignia—even their descendants—were treated with extraordinary generosity. From the Tang and Song dynasties onward, the practice diverged somewhat from earlier custom. Fang Xuanling and Qiao Songzhou, wielding great influence, were the first to decline perpetual enfeoffments—so the lines of Ying and Wei sank to the level of commoners. Under the Song, ennoblement chiefly bestowed hollow titles: forebears and sons alike received nominal territorial designations, but without formal hereditary succession—nothing like the old custom of passing a house from generation to generation. When the Ming founder established his dynasty, he boldly revived ancient practice. Veteran commanders and chief advisors alike received titles in life and hereditary fiefs after death; patent estates were granted to more than a hundred families. By the dynasty's late years, factional prosecutions swept the court. Massive purges left scarcely thirty or forty percent of these houses standing. Yet reading the inscriptions on the iron merit tablet—the warnings inscribed there—shows that the sworn oaths of old were never meant to end this way. Their lofty peril and overflowing fortune were largely of their own making. When Emperor Chenghua discounted the labors of the "Pacifying Difficulties" faction and Emperor Yingzong heaped honors on the "Recovering the Throne" party—men who had aided enthronement but ranked as secondary founders—how can they be named in the same breath as the dynastic founders? Midway through Emperor Jiajing's reign, the court reopened the old archives and revived the ritual of restoring extinct noble lines. Descendants of the E, Cao, Wei, and Xin houses were reinstated as full marquises, their genealogies continued, and the realm responded with widespread approval. Though the Song, Ying, Han, and Mu lines were eventually wiped out, the other men whose loyalty was recorded in the ledgers of merit passed down ermine ranks and court insignia through generation after generation. They kept their stipends, commanded the palace guard and capital armies, garrisoned the secondary capital, oversaw grain transport, and held the empire's weightiest provincial posts, rising to the highest ranks. Their clans enjoyed ceremonial honors unknown to the Han practice of stripping titles for insufficient tribute. In many respects they outdid the hereditary nobility of the Western Han. I now compile a table of meritorious ministers from the succession dates recorded in the Veritable Records, to accompany the annals and biographies. Where records conflict, are incomplete, or cannot be verified, I leave the entry blank, in keeping with the historian's right to omit what cannot be known.
