太宗即位，與山陽侯奚斤、北新侯安同、白馬侯崔宏等八人，坐止車門右，聽理萬幾，故世號八公。 At Taizong's accession he joined Xi Jin, Marquis of Shanyang, An Tong, Marquis of Beixin, Cui Hong, Marquis of Baima, and five others — eight men who sat to the right of the Halting-Chariot Gate to hear and settle the realm's business — and men of the time called them the Eight Lords.
