今臺閣近臣，尚書令陳蕃，僕射胡廣，尚書朱宇、荀緄、劉祐、魏朗、劉矩、尹勳等，皆國之貞士，朝之良佐。 Among the ministers at court today—Director Chen Fan, Vice Director Hu Guang, and the secretaries Zhu Yu, Xun Gun, Liu You, Wei Lang, Liu Ju, and Yin Xun—are upright servants of the state and able aides of the court.

武、蕃得書將發，於是以朱宇為司隸校尉，劉祐為河南尹，虞祁為洛陽令。 With that letter in hand, Dou Wu and Chen Fan prepared to move: they named Zhu Yu metropolitan commandant, Liu You governor of Henan, and Yu Qi magistrate of Luoyang.
