太宗初，為南海太守，卒官。 At the beginning of Emperor Ming's reign he was appointed administrator of Nanhai and died in office.

太宗世，琅邪王悅，亦蒞官清正見知。 Under Emperor Ming, Wang Yue of Langye was also known for incorrupt service.

上以其廉介，賜良田五頃。 The emperor granted him five qing of good farmland for his integrity.

及悅死，眾咸謂諸署詋詛之，上乃收典掌者十餘人，桎梏云送淮陰，密令渡瓜步江，投之中流。 When Yue died, many believed the offices had cursed him. The emperor arrested more than ten officials in charge, claiming they were being sent to Huaiyin, then secretly had them ferried across the Guabu River and thrown into midstream.
