興元素持風力，諗知劉昆強項，令為審事官。 Xingyuan was known for his firm character. Knowing Liu Kun to be tough-minded, he made him reviewing officer.

三桂將叛，使冶者鑄印，昆诇知，白興元，興元啟巡撫硃國治，趣入告。 As Wu Sangui prepared to rebel, he had seals cast. Kun discovered this through reconnaissance and told Xingyuan, who alerted Governor Zhu Guozhi and urged him to report at once to the capital.

雲南知府高顯辰及昆皆不屈，旋以興元及昆戍騰越衛。 Yunnan Prefect Gao Xianchen and Kun likewise refused to submit. Soon Xingyuan and Kun were sent under guard to Tengyue.

昆當興元未死，出避民間。 Before Xingyuan died, Kun went into hiding among the people.
