楊績，良鄉人。 Yang Ji was a native of Liangxiang.

帝以績舊臣，特詔燕見，論古今治亂，人臣邪正。 Because Ji was an old minister, the emperor specially summoned him to a private audience to discuss the order and disorder of ancient and modern times and the wickedness and rectitude of ministers.

績拜賀曰：「何代無賢，世亂則獨善其身，主聖則兼濟天下。 Ji bowed in congratulation and said, "What age has lacked worthy men? When the age is chaotic one keeps oneself whole; when the ruler is sage one benefits all under Heaven.

累表告歸，不許，封趙王。 He repeatedly memorialized asking to return home, but permission was refused, and he was enfeoffed as Prince of Zhao.

若斡特剌之戰功，竇景庸之讞獄，楊績之忠告，亦賢矣夫。 As for Wotela's military achievements, Dou Jingyong's adjudication of cases, and Yang Ji's loyal counsel—they too were worthy men indeed.
