Records of the Three Kingdoms, Chapter 65Volume 65: Book of Wu 20: Biographies of Wang, Lou, He, Wei, and Hua · 17 passages
舊禁中主者自用親近人作之,彧陳親密近職宜用好人,皓因敕有司,求忠清之士,以應其選,遂用玄為宮下鎮禁中候,主殿中事,玄從九卿持刀侍衛,正身率眾,奉法而行,應對切直,數迕皓意,漸見責怒。 By old practice, posts inside the forbidden precinct had always gone to favorites. Wan Yu argued that intimate inner offices should employ good men, so Sun Hao ordered the offices to seek loyal and incorrupt gentlemen and chose Lou Xuan as Colonel Garrisoning the Forbidden Interior below the palace, in charge of affairs within the halls. Ranking with the nine ministers, Lou Xuan carried the blade as an imperial guard, corrected himself and led the others, acted according to law, and answered sharply and directly. He repeatedly crossed Hao’s wishes and gradually drew blame and anger.
