又命飛騎促於道，而騭與諫議大夫張衍、兵部郎中張俊等累刻方至，太祖性本卞急，因茲大怒，並格殺於前墀。 couriers were sent to hurry stragglers on the road, but Zhi, Remonstrance Grand Master Zhang Yan, Bureau Director Zhang Jun, and others arrived only after long delay; the Founder was by nature irascible, flew into a rage, and had them all beaten to death in the forecourt.

張俊，字彥臣。 Zhang Jun, styled Yanchen.

俊少孤，自修飾，善為五言詩，其警句頗為人所稱。 Orphaned young, he cultivated himself, wrote fine five-character verse, and his striking lines won praise.

俊亦晦跡浮泛，不失其道。 Jun too kept out of sight and drifted, yet never abandoned his principles.

太祖即位，用宰臣薛貽矩為鹽鐵使，俊與貽矩同年登第，甚知其才，即奏為鹽鐵判官，遷職為禮部郎中，兼職如故。 When the Founder took the throne chief minister Xue Yiju became salt and iron commissioner; Jun had passed the jinshi with Yiju and knew his ability; he was soon made salt and iron judicial commissioner, then Bureau Director in the Ministry of Rites while keeping the same concurrent duties.
