和士開欲依次轉進，以之才附籍兗州，卽是本屬，遂奏附除刺史，以胡長仁為左僕射，士開為右僕射。 He Shikai wished to advance in regular order. Because Zhicai's household register was attached to Yan province, which was his home jurisdiction, he memorialized that Zhicai be sent out as inspector there, with Hu Changren as left vice director and He Shikai as right vice director.

齊氏后妃之族，多自保全，唯胡長仁以譖訴貽禍，斛律光以地勢被戮，俱非女謁盛衰之所致也。 Among Northern Qi empresses’ kin, many kept themselves safe; only Hu Changren fell to denunciation, and Hulu Guang was killed for his territorial power—neither owed simply to the waxing and waning of palace women.

胡長仁，字孝隆，安定臨涇人，武成皇後之兄。 Hu Changren, styled Xiaolong, was from Linjing in Anding and elder brother of Wucheng’s Empress Hu.

長仁累遷右樸射及尚書令。 Changren rose to right vice director of the Masters of Writing and director of the Department of State Affairs.

世祖崩，預參朝政，封隴東王。 At Shizu’s death he joined in governing and was made prince of Longdong.

長仁每上省，孝裕必方駕而來。 Whenever Changren entered the provincial offices, Xiaoyu arrived in a matching carriage.

長仁私遊密席，處處追尋。 His secret feasts and private parties were notorious.

孝裕又說長仁曰：「王陽臥疾，士開必來，因而殺之。 Xiaoyu told Changren, “Feign illness—when Shikai comes, kill him.

後長仁倚親，驕豪無畏憚。 Later, secure in his kinship, Changren grew arrogant and fearless.

長仁怨憤，謀令剌士開，事覺，遂賜死。 Changren, bitter, plotted assassination; discovered, he was ordered to take his own life.

長仁心欲入處機要之地，為執政不許，長仁疑長粲通謀，大以為恨。 Changren wanted to enter the key councils, but those in power would not permit it. Suspecting that Changcan had conspired against him, Changren deeply resented him.
