馮暉，魏州人也。 Feng Hui came from Weizhou.

唐莊宗入魏，與梁相距於河上，暉以隊長亡入梁軍，王彥章以暉驍勇，隸之麾下。 Zhuangzong entered Wei and faced Liang on the river. Hui fled from his squad into Liang ranks. Wang Yanzhang took his dash and kept him close.

梁亡，莊宗赦暉不問。 Liang fell; Zhuangzong pardoned Hui and let the matter drop.

董璋反東川，暉從晉高祖討璋，軍至劍門，劍門兵守，不得入，暉從佗道出其左，擊蜀守兵殆盡。 Dong Zhang rebelled in Dongchuan. Hui marched with Jin Gaozu to Jianmen, which held shut. He swung left by another road and cut down the Shu garrison almost to a man.

會晉高祖班師，拜暉澶州刺史。 Gaozu withdrew and made Hui prefect of Chan.

天福中，範延光反魏州，遣暉襲滑州，不克，遂入於魏，為延光守。 Under Tianfu, Fan Yanguang rebelled at Wei and sent Hui against Hua. Hui failed, entered Wei, and held it for Yanguang.

暉始至，則推以恩信，部族懷惠，止息侵奪，然後廣屯田以省轉餉，治倉庫、亭館千餘區，多出俸錢，民不加賦，管內大治，晉高祖下詔書褒美。 Hui came and ruled by grace and trust; the tribes took his favor and raids stopped. He widened garrison farms to spare the convoys, raised a thousand storehouses and lodges from his own pay without new levies, and brought the circuit to order. Jin Gaozu praised him by edict.

暉之至也，彥超來謁，遂留之，為起第於城中，賜予豐厚，務足其意。 Yanchao came to call. Hui kept him, built him a house in the city, and heaped gifts until he was content.

彥超既留，而諸部族爭以羊馬為市易，期年有馬五千匹。 With Yanchao held, tribes traded sheep and horses in rivalry; within a year Hui had five thousand horses.

晉見暉馬多而得夷心，反以為患，徙鎮靜難，又徙保義。 Jin saw his horses and tribal favor and took alarm; he was moved to Jingnan, then to Baoyi.

歲中，召為侍衛步軍都指揮使，領河陽節度使，暉於是始覺晉有患己意。 That year he was recalled as Palace Foot Guard commander with He-Yang; Hui first felt Jin’s mistrust.
