舒王誼，昭靖太子之子； Prince of Shu Yi was the son of Crown Prince Zhaojing.

舒王誼，本名謨，代宗第三子昭靖太子邈之子也。 Prince of Shu Yi, whose original name was Mo, was the son of Crown Prince Zhaojing (Miao), the third son of Emperor Daizong.

大曆十四年六月，封舒王，拜開府儀同三司，與通王、虔王同日封。 In the sixth month of Dali 14 (779), he was enfeoffed as Prince of Shu and appointed Grand Preceptor with Honorary Credentials Equal to the Three Excellencies, on the same day as the Princes of Tong and Qian received their titles.

以誼愛弟之子，諸王之長，軍國大事，欲其更踐，必委試之。 As the emperor's beloved nephew and the eldest among the princes, Yi was invariably given trial assignments whenever major military or state affairs arose, so that he might gain further experience.

明年，尚父郭子儀病篤，上御紫宸，命誼持制書省之。 The following year, when Guo Ziyi, the Esteemed Father, lay gravely ill, the emperor went to Zichen Hall and ordered Yi to carry an imperial writ and visit him.

誼冠遠遊冠，絳紗袍，乘象輅，駕駟馬，飛龍騎士三百人隨之。 Yi wore the distant-travel cap and a crimson gauze robe, rode in an elephant carriage drawn by a team of four, and was escorted by three hundred Feilong cavalry.

賊眾急攻汴、滑，勉走宋州，朝廷大聳，乃詔誼為揚州大都督，持節荊襄、江西、沔鄂等道節度，兼諸軍行營兵馬元帥，改名誼。 As rebel forces pressed their attacks on Bian and Hua, Mian fled to Songzhou. The court was thrown into alarm, and Yi was appointed Grand Governor of Yangzhou with authority over the Jingxiang, Jiangxi, Mian, E, and related circuits, and concurrently supreme commander of all campaign armies; his name was also changed to Yi.

又以哥舒翰聲近，士卒竊議，改封普王，令統攝諸軍，進攻希烈。 Because the name Geshu Han sounded too similar to another, the troops murmured among themselves, so he was re-enfeoffed as Prince of Pu and ordered to take overall command and advance against Xilie.

德宗初聞兵士出怨言，不得賞設，乃令誼與翰林學士姜公輔傳詔安撫，許以厚賞。 When Dezong first heard the troops complaining that they had received no rewards or provisions, he ordered Yi and Hanlin academician Jiang Gongfu to convey an edict of reassurance and promised generous rewards.

誼狼狽而還，遂奉德宗出幸奉天。 Yi turned back in disarray, and then escorted Dezong on the flight to Fengtian.

賊之攻城，誼晝夜傳詔，慰勞諸軍，僅不解帶者月餘。 During the rebel siege, Yi conveyed edicts day and night to comfort and encourage the armies, going more than a month without so much as loosening his belt.

從車駕還宮，復封舒王、開府儀同三司，揚州大都督如故。 When he followed the emperor back to the capital, he was again enfeoffed as Prince of Shu and Grand Preceptor with Honorary Credentials Equal to the Three Excellencies, retaining his title as Grand Governor of Yangzhou.
