朱漢賓 Zhu Hanbin

朱漢賓，字績臣，亳州譙人也。 Zhu Hanbin, styled Jichen, came from Qiao in Bozhou.

漢賓為人有膽力，梁太祖以其父死戰，憐之，以為養子。 Hanbin had nerve and muscle. Zhu Wen, pitying a boy whose father died in his service, adopted him.

太祖聞之，乃更選勇士數百人，號「落雁都」，以漢賓為指揮使。 Zhu Wen answered with several hundred picked men, called them “Falling-Goose Company,” and put Hanbin in command.

及漢賓貴，人猶以為「朱落雁」。 Even in high office men still called him “Zhu Falling-Goose.”

漢賓事梁為天威軍使，歷磁滑宋亳曹五州刺史、安遠軍節度使。 He commanded the Heavenly Might army, held Ci, Hua, Song, Bo, and Cao in turn, and became military governor of Anyuan.

莊宗滅梁，罷漢賓為右龍武統軍，待之頗薄。 When Zhuangzong took Liang he parked Hanbin in the Right Dragon Martial guard and kept him at arm’s length.

後莊宗因出遊幸其第，漢賓妻有色而惠，因侍左右，進酒食，奏歌舞，莊宗歡甚，留至夜漏二更而去，漢賓自此有寵。 Once Zhuangzong called at his house. Hanbin’s wife was lovely and sharp; she poured wine, sang, danced at his side. Zhuangzong stayed till the second watch. After that Hanbin had favor again.

初，漢賓在梁也，與朱友謙俱為太祖養子，而友謙年長，漢賓以兄事之。 In Liang days he and Zhu Youqian were both Zhu Wen’s adopted sons; Youqian was senior, and Hanbin treated him as elder brother.

其後梁亡，漢賓數寓書友謙，友謙不答，漢賓銜之。 After Liang fell Hanbin wrote again and again. Youqian never answered. Hanbin brooded on the slight.

其後友謙見族，人皆以為漢賓有力。 When Youqian’s clan was wiped out, many said Hanbin had helped drive the blade.
