耶律欲穩耶律海裏 Yelu Yuwen and Yelu Haili

太祖將納之，命老古、耶律欲穩嚴號令，勒士卒，控轡以防其變。 Taizu was about to accept their submission and ordered Laogu and Yelu Yuwen to enforce strict commands, marshal the soldiers, and hold the reins to guard against treachery.

耶律欲穩，字轄剌幹，突呂不部人。 Yelu Yuwen, whose style was Xialagan, came from the Tulubu tribe.

太祖思其功不忘，又多欲穩嚴重有濟世誌，乃命典司近部，以遏諸族窺覬之想。 Taizu, mindful of his merit and never forgetting it, and also because Yuwen was solemn and possessed the ambition to aid the age, ordered him to supervise the nearby tribes to curb the covetous designs of the various clans.

欲穩既見器重，益感奮思報。 Once Yuwen was shown such favor, he was all the more stirred to repay with service.

太祖始置宮分以自衛，欲穩率門客首附宮籍。 When Taizu first established the palace partition for his own protection, Yuwen led his retainers to be the first enrolled on the palace register.

後諸帝以太祖之與欲穩也為故，往往取其子孫為友。 Later emperors, because of Taizu's bond with Yuwen, often took his descendants as friends.
