孫嶽，冀州人也。 Sun Yue was a native of Jizhou.

受代歸京，秦王從榮欲以嶽為元帥府都押衙，事未行，馮贇舉為三司使，時預密謀。 When relieved and returned to the capital, the Prince of Qin, Congrong, wished to make Yue chief military adjutant of the prince's headquarters; the matter had not been carried out when Feng Yun recommended him as commissioner of the three departments—at the time he shared in secret plotting.

朱、馮患從榮之恣橫，嶽曾極言其禍之端，康義誠聞之不悅。 Zhu and Feng feared Congrong's wanton arrogance; Yue had once spoken to the utmost of the beginnings of disaster, and Kang Yicheng heard it with displeasure.

及從榮敗，義誠召嶽同至河南府檢閱府藏。 When Congrong was defeated, Yicheng summoned Yue to go with him to the Henan prefecture to inspect the prefectural treasury.

時紛擾未定，義誠密遣騎士射之，嶽走至通利坊，為騎士所害，識與不識皆痛之。 The turmoil was not yet settled; Yicheng secretly sent horsemen to shoot him. Yue fled to Tongli Ward and was killed by the horsemen; those who knew him and those who did not alike grieved.

是時，諸侯多不奉法，鄧州陶玘、亳州李鄴皆以贓汙論死，明宗下詔書褒廉吏普州安崇阮、洺州張萬進、耀州孫嶽等以諷天下，而以敬瑭為首。 Feudatories then flouted the law wholesale; Tao Qi of Deng and Li Ye of Bo died for graft. Mingzong published an edict holding up honest governors—An Chongruan, Zhang Wanjin, Sun Yue, and the rest—with Jingtang first among them.
