太史公曰:匈奴絕和親,攻當路塞; 閩越擅伐,東甌請降。 二夷交侵,當盛漢之隆,以此知功臣受封侔於祖考矣。 何者? 自詩書稱三代「戎狄是膺,荊荼是徵」,太史公曰:齊桓越燕伐山戎,武靈王以區區趙服單于,秦繆用百里霸西戎,吳楚之君以諸侯役百越。 況乃以中國一統,明天子在上,兼文武,席卷四海,內輯億萬之眾,豈以晏然不為邊境征伐哉! 自是後,遂出師北討彊胡,南誅勁越,將卒以次封矣。
The Grand Historian said: When the Xiongnu severed the marriage alliance, they attacked the strategic frontier passes; Minyue launched an unauthorized campaign, and Dong'ou requested surrender. These two Yi peoples invaded one after another at the height of Han power. From this, we know that meritorious ministers received enfeoffments comparable in scale to those of the ancestral age. Why is this? The Odes and Documents praise the Three Dynasties for "repelling the Rong and Di and chastising Jing and Chu." As the Grand Historian said: Duke Huan of Qi crossed through Yan to attack the Shanrong; King Wuling of Zhao, though ruling only a small state, brought the Chanyu to submission; Duke Mu of Qin used Baili Xi to become hegemon over the Western Rong; and the rulers of Wu and Chu employed the feudal lords to subdue the Hundred Yue. How much more so when China was unified, with the enlightened Son of Heaven above, combining civil and military power, sweeping across the four seas, and gathering millions within—how could he remain complacent and fail to wage border campaigns? From that time on, armies went out northward to campaign against the powerful Hu and southward to punish the formidable Yue, and generals and soldiers received enfeoffments one after another.

後進好事儒者褚先生曰:太史公記事盡於孝武之事,故復修記孝昭以來功臣侯者,編於左方,令後好事者得覽觀成敗長短絕世之適,得以自戒焉。 當世之君子,行權合變,度時施宜,希世用事,以建功有土封侯,立名當世,豈不盛哉! 觀其持滿守成之道,皆不謙讓,驕蹇爭權,喜揚聲譽,知進不知退,終以殺身滅國。 以三得之,及身失之,不能傳功於後世,令恩德流子孫,豈不悲哉! 夫龍雒侯曾為前將軍,世俗順善,厚重謹信,不與政事,退讓愛人。 其先起於晉六卿之世。 有土君國以來,為王侯,子孫相承不絕,歷年經世,以至于今,凡百餘歲,豈可與功臣及身失之者同日而語之哉? 悲夫,後世其誡之!
Mr. Chu, a later scholar fond of such matters, said: The Grand Historian's account ends with the affairs of Emperor Wu. Therefore, he again compiled records of meritorious ministers and marquises from Emperor Zhao onward and placed them on the left. Later scholars may examine the successes and failures, the long and short spans of these severed lineages, and use them as warnings. The gentlemen of the present age adapt to circumstance, respond to change, judge the times, and act as conditions require; they achieve merit, receive territory, are enfeoffed as marquises, and establish their names in their own day. Is this not magnificent! Yet observe how they preserve fullness and guard achievement: they are never modest or yielding, but haughty, contentious, eager to fight for power, fond of broadcasting their reputations, and know only how to advance, not how to withdraw. In the end, they lose their lives and destroy their states. What they gained over three generations they lost in their own persons, unable to transmit their merit to later ages or let their beneficence flow down to their descendants. Is this not lamentable! Marquis Longluo once served as Forward General. He was gentle and good-natured, grave, careful, and trustworthy; he did not involve himself in political affairs, but withdrew, yielded, and loved others. His forebears rose in the age of Jin's six ministers. From the time they first held territory and ruled states as kings and marquises, their descendants have inherited without interruption across years and generations down to the present, for more than a hundred years in all. How can they be spoken of in the same breath as meritorious ministers who lost everything within their own lifetimes? How sad! Let later generations take warning from it.

He entered as a Palace Attendant, taught Emperor Zhao the Han Poetry, and became Grand Minister of Justice. By then he was eighty and so old that he needed two men supporting him to walk. Yet the ministers and high officials discussed him and thought that, as a teacher to the ruler, he should become chancellor.

He died, and his son the marquis succeeded him; he died of illness without heirs. The principle of the Spring and Autumn Annals is that the reward for goodness extends to descendants; therefore let Yun be enfeoffed as Marquis of Guanjun with a fief of three thousand households.' Later he was convicted of plotting rebellion; his clan was exterminated, and the marquisate was abolished. |
| Ping En | Xu Guanghan, whose family was in Changyi, was convicted of an offense and sent to the silkworm room; he had only one daughter, whom the emperor married.
