末帝嗣位，以歸霸子漢鼎、漢傑並為近職。 His sons Handing and Hanjie became palace attendants.

漢鼎早亡，漢傑貞明中為控鶴指揮使，領兵討惠王於陳州，擒之。 Hanjie captured the Prince of Hui at Chen in Zhenming.

當貞明、龍德之際，漢傑昆仲分掌權要，藩鎮除拜多出其門，段凝因之遂竊兵柄。 The Hanjie brothers dominated appointments until Duan Ning seized the army.

及莊宗入汴，漢傑與兄漢倫、弟漢融同日伏誅於汴橋下。 When Zhuangzong took Bian the three brothers were executed at Bian Bridge.

又其所用多非其人，給事中陳乂，為人險譎，好陰謀，嘗事梁張漢傑，又事郭崇韜，兩人皆輒敗死，弘昭乃引以為樞密直學士，而用其謀。 They staffed posts with the wrong men. Chen Yi, a supervisory attendant, was devious and loved intrigue. He had served Zhang Hanjie of Liang and Guo Chongtao—both destroyed. Hongzhao still made him a direct academician of the Bureau of Military Affairs and followed his counsel.

而梁末帝昏亂，小人趙巖、張漢傑等用事，大臣宿將多被讒間，彥章雖為招討副使，而謀不見用。 The Last Emperor was lost; Zhao Yan and Zhang Hanjie ran the court, and veteran ministers and generals were slandered aside. Yanzhang was deputy campaign commander, but no one listened.

是時，段凝已有異志，與趙巖、張漢傑交通，彥章素剛，憤梁日削，而嫉巖等所為，嘗謂人曰：「俟吾破賊還，誅奸臣以謝天下。」 By then Duan Ning was already playing a double game, dealing with Zhao Yan and Zhang Hanjie. Yanzhang was blunt; he watched Liang shrink day by day and hated the court’s petty men. He often said: "When I break the enemy and march home, I will kill the traitors and answer the realm."

是時，梁之勝兵皆屬段凝，京師只有保鑾五百騎，皆新捉募之兵，不可用，乃以屬彥章，而以張漢傑監之。 Liang’s best troops were all with Duan Ning. The capital had only five hundred Palace Guard cavalry—raw recruits, good for nothing. These were handed to Yanzhang, with Zhang Hanjie watching over him.

趙巖婿也，張漢傑婦家，皆用事。 Zhao Yan is his son-in-law; Zhang Hanjie is his wife’s people—both rule.

王彥章，驍將也，遣漢傑監其軍而制之。 Wang Yanzhang is a fierce fighter, yet Hanjie was sent to watch his army and hold him back.
