六年春，上以為信壯武，北近鞏、雒，南迫宛、葉，東有淮陽，皆天下勁兵處也，乃更以太原郡為韓國，徙信以備胡，都晉陽。 In the spring of the sixth year, the emperor considered Xin strong and martial. Since to the north his territory lay near Gong and Luo, to the south it pressed upon Wan and Ye, and to the east it had Huaiyang, all places with powerful troops, the emperor instead made Taiyuan Commandery the Han kingdom, moved Xin there to guard against the Hu, and set his capital at Jinyang.
