His temple name was Wuzong and his era name was Zhengde. This account follows the biography in juan 16 of the Ming History and the sources already cited on this entry.[^zhengshi][^wikidata] ## Family and accession The Ming History gives his personal name as Houzhao. He was the eldest son of the Hongzhi Emperor, and his mother was Empress Xiaokangjing. He was named heir apparent in the fifth year of Hongzhi. The history says he was quick-witted and fond of riding and archery. In the fifth month of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, his father died and he took the throne, naming the next year the first year of Zhengde.[^zhengshi] This entry records his birth in the fourth year of Hongzhi (1491) and his death in the sixteenth year of Zhengde (1521).[^wikidata] The Ming History says he was thirty-one when he died.[^zhengshi] ## Reign In the first year of Zhengde, Minister of Revenue Han Wen led court officials in asking that the eunuchs Ma Yongcheng and his associates be removed from power. Grand Secretaries Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian supported the request, but the emperor did not accept it. Liu Jin then took charge of the Directorate of Ceremonial, and Liu Jian and Xie Qian retired. In the second year of Zhengde the emperor restored the guard of Prince Zhu Chenhao of Ning and built the Leopard House.[^zhengshi] In the fifth year, Prince Zhu Zhifan of Anhua rebelled and was soon captured. That June the emperor styled himself the Great Qing Dharma King. In August Liu Jin was imprisoned for treason and then executed. From the sixth year, uprisings spread from the capital region through Shandong, Henan and Sichuan, and were put down over the course of the seventh year.[^zhengshi] After a fire at the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the first month of the ninth year, the emperor began to travel incognito. In the twelfth year he passed Juyong Pass, stayed at Xuanfu, and called himself the General Who Governs Military Affairs and Inspires Awe. That winter he fought for five days near Yingzhou against the forces of the Little Prince. In the thirteenth year he ordered himself enfeoffed as Duke of Zhenguo under the name Zhu Shou.[^zhengshi] In the sixth month of the fourteenth year, Prince Zhu Chenhao rebelled. Wang Shouren recovered Nanchang and captured the prince at Qiaoshe. The emperor still marched south, withheld the victory report, and reached Nanjing that winter. In the ninth month of the fifteenth year his boat capsized at Jishui Pond and his health failed. Chenhao was executed in the twelfth month, and the emperor returned to the capital.[^zhengshi] ## Death In the third month of the sixteenth year of Zhengde he was dying. He told the eunuchs of the Directorate of Ceremonial to inform the empress dowager, and said that the earlier mistakes had been his own. On the bingyin day of that month he died in the Leopard House at the age of thirty-one. His testament called the eldest son of the Prince of Xing to succeed him. In the fifth month he received his posthumous title and the temple name Wuzong, and was buried at the Kangling.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Zhu Houzhao[^wikidata] - Temple name: Wuzong[^zhengshi] - Era name: Zhengde[^zhengshi] - Birthplace: [[place_beijing|Beijing]][^wikidata] /people/zhengde-emperor-q10007.html en zh en 1491 1491 1521 1521 historical figure person_cn_q10011 person jiajing-emperor-ming-q10011 明世宗

His temple name was Shizong and his era name was Jiajing. This account follows juan 17 of the Ming History and the sources already cited on this entry.[^zhengshi][^wikidata] ## Family The Ming History gives his personal name as Houcong. He was a grandson of the Chenghua Emperor. His father, Prince Youyuan of Xing, held the principality of Anlu. When that prince died in the fourteenth year of Zhengde, Houcong was thirteen and managed the domain as heir. The name Zhu Houcong is the form given in the sources cited here.[^zhengshi][^wikidata] This entry records his birth in 1507, his death in 1567, and his birthplace as Zhongxiang.[^wikidata] Juan 17 of the Ming History ends in the twenty-first year of Jiajing and does not describe his death.[^zhengshi] ## Accession In the third month of the sixteenth year of Zhengde, the Zhengde Emperor died without a son. Empress Dowager Cishou and Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe decided to summon the prince from his residence at Xing. He left Anlu and reached the suburbs of the capital in the fourth month. The ritual officers wanted him to ascend as an heir apparent. He replied that the testament made him successor to the throne, not an imperial son. He entered through Daming Gate the same day, took the throne in the Fengtian Hall, and named the next year the first of Jiajing.[^zhengshi] ## The ritual dispute Court ritualists first proposed that he treat the Hongzhi Emperor as his imperial father and call the Prince of Xing an imperial uncle. The jinshi Zhang Cong argued that Zhu Houcong inherited the throne without becoming an adopted son, and asked that his own parents be honored and that a temple for the Prince of Xing be built in the capital. Yang Tinghe and others objected. The emperor did not accept their view. In the first year of Jiajing the court for a time called the Hongzhi Emperor imperial father and the prince and princess of Xing his natural parents. In the third year the Prince of Xing was given the title of natural imperial father, and the words "natural" were later removed. Officials knelt at the palace gate to protest. Ma Li and 133 others were imprisoned, and sixteen died under the rod. Yang Shen and others were beaten and banished or demoted. That year the Hongzhi Emperor was designated imperial uncle-father, and the emperor's own father was designated imperial father. In the seventh year the Minglun Dadian was completed, and Yang Tinghe and others were posthumously stripped of rank.[^zhengshi] ## The early Jiajing years In the fifth year the Daoist Shao Yuanjie was named a zhenren. In the seventeenth year the emperor's father received the temple name Ruizong and his tablet was placed in the imperial ancestral temple, ranked above the Zhengde Emperor. In the eighteenth year Zaihuo was named heir apparent, Zaihou was made Prince of Yu, and Zaichuan Prince of Jing. The emperor traveled to Chengtian and visited the Xianling. In the nineteenth year Yang Zui of the Court of the Imperial Stud remonstrated against the use of elixirs and was beaten to death. In the twenty-first year Minister of Rites Yan Song entered the Grand Secretariat. In the same year a palace plot was punished and Consort Cao and Consort Wang were executed. Juan 17 ends at that point.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Zhu Houcong[^wikidata] - Temple name: Shizong[^zhengshi] - Era name: Jiajing[^zhengshi] - Birthplace: [[place_cn_420881|Zhongxiang]][^wikidata] /people/jiajing-emperor-ming-q10011.html en zh en 1507 1507 1567 1567 historical figure person_cn_q10022741 person marshal-heavenly-mugwort-q10022741 天蓬元帅

Wikidata and the cited Chinese Wikipedia both record this title and do not give a separate personal name, so the title stays unchanged.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Role The Chinese Wikipedia counts him among the Four Sages of the North and describes him as their leader, a commander of divine troops who drives off evil, and one of the heads of the thunder ministry.

Fu Yi (555–639), from Ye in Xiangzhou, was a Sui and Tang astronomer who served as director of the imperial observatory.

This entry records his life as 555 to 639.[^wikidata] The Old Book of Tang gives his name simply as Fu Yi, and the cited Wikidata label is the same, with the surname Fu, so the title stays Fu Yi.[^zhengshi][^wikidata] ## From the Sui into the Tang The Old Book of Tang says he was from Ye in Xiangzhou and was especially learned in astronomy and calendrics. In the Kaihuang reign he served Prince Yang Liang of Han as a ceremonial officer. When the prince rebelled, he asked Fu Yi what it meant that Mars had entered the Well. Fu Yi answered that the celestial Well lies on the ecliptic, so Mars passing there was not strange, whereas a well on the ground would be an ill omen. The prince was displeased. After the revolt failed, Fu Yi was spared and moved to Fufeng. Emperor Gaozu, then prefect of Fufeng, treated him with respect and, after taking the throne, summoned him as vice director of the observatory. Director Yu Jian recommended him as his own replacement, and Fu Yi became director.[^zhengshi] ## Director of the observatory In the third year of Wude he submitted a new clepsydra method, which was put into use. In the seventh year he memorialized for the suppression of Buddhism, in very direct language, and sent eleven further memorials. Gaozu referred them to the court. Only Zhang Daoyuan, chamberlain of the imperial stud, called the proposal sound. Xiao Yu, president of the secretariat, argued that Fu Yi was defaming a sage and should be punished. Fu Yi replied that the Buddha had left his father by going forth from the city. Gaozu was close to following him when the abdication stopped the matter. In the fifth month of the ninth year of Wude, Fu Yi secretly reported that Venus had appeared in the astral division of Qin and that the Prince of Qin would possess the empire. Gaozu passed the report to Taizong. After Taizong's accession he received Fu Yi and said the earlier report had nearly implicated him, but that Fu Yi should still speak fully. When Taizong asked why he alone rejected Buddhism, Fu Yi said it had come from the Western Regions, did not help the people, and harmed the state. Taizong was inclined to agree.[^zhengshi] ## Death and writings The Old Book of Tang says he died in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan at the age of eighty-five. On his deathbed he told his sons to study Laozi, Zhuangzi, and the Six Classics, not the Buddhism then in fashion, and he asked for a plain burial. He did not call a doctor when ill. Once, while drunk, he wrote his own epitaph: he was Fu Yi, a man of green hills and white clouds. He annotated the Laozi, wrote a phonological commentary, and collected anti-Buddhist arguments from the Wei and Jin onward as Gaoshi zhuan in ten juan.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Fu Yi[^zhengshi] - Native place: Ye in Xiangzhou[^zhengshi] - Dates on this entry: 555–639[^wikidata] - Occupations: astronomer and political figure[^wikidata] - Realms recorded on this entry: Sui, Tang, and Northern Zhou[^wikidata] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q138001671|Fu Yi]] (a character in Journey to the West) /people/fu-yi-q1004339.html en zh en 555 555 639 639 historical figure person_cn_q10059 person longqing-emperor-q10059 明穆宗

His temple name was Muzong and his era name was Longqing.

In the second month of the eighteenth year of Jiajing he was made Prince of Yu, invested on the same day as the heir apparent Zhuangjing and the Prince of Jing. After Zhuangjing died, the emperor regarded him as the eldest and capable son and the succession as settled, but suspicion remained at court, so the Prince of Jing was sent to his own domain.[^zhengshi] ## Accession In the twelfth month of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, the Jiajing Emperor died and Zhu Zaihou took the throne. The next year was the first of Longqing, and a general amnesty was declared. Inconvenient policies of the previous reign were corrected under the testament. Officials punished for remonstrance were recalled, and those who had died were honored. Adepts were handed to the courts, and the alchemy workshops and extraordinary purchases were stopped. Half of the next year's land tax was remitted, together with arrears from before the forty-third year of Jiajing. Hai Rui of the Ministry of Revenue was released from prison.[^zhengshi] ## The early Longqing years In the first year of Longqing he ended the rite that associated Ruizong with the emperor in the Bright Hall, restored the title of Prince Zhu Houwan of Zheng, honored his mother as Empress Xiaoke, and installed Consort Chen as empress. Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng entered the grand secretariat. In the third month the Jiajing Emperor was buried at the Yongling. That year Altan raided Datong and Shizhou, killed Prefect Wang Liangcai, looted Jiaocheng and Wenshui, and reached the Fen River, so the capital was placed on alert. The raiders withdrew in the winter. In the third month of the second year, his son Yijun was named heir apparent. The same juan goes on to the third year, when general Zhao Ke defeated Altan at Hongcizi. The extract read here does not reach a death scene, so the death year is left as the 1572 already stored on this entry.[^zhengshi][^wikidata] ## Basic facts - Name: Zhu Zaihou[^wikidata] - Temple name: Muzong[^zhengshi] - Era name: Longqing[^zhengshi] - Place in the dynasty: twelfth Ming emperor[^wikidata] - Realm: Ming[^wikidata] - Birthplace: [[place_beijing|Beijing]][^wikidata] /people/longqing-emperor-q10059.html en zh en 1537 1537 1572 1572 historical figure person_cn_q10061 person wanli-q10061 明神宗

The cited Wikidata aliases give the full name Zhu Yijun.[^zhengshi][^wikidata] ## Heir apparent The Ming History says he was the third son of the Longqing Emperor, and his mother was Consort Li. He was named heir apparent in the second year of Longqing, at the age of six. The annals say his bearing was uncommon. When the emperor told him to gallop a horse in the palace, he replied that the lord of the realm should not ride wildly, for fear of a fall. The emperor was pleased and dismounted to praise him. While Empress Chen was ill in a separate palace, he went each morning with the consort to ask after her. The empress rose when she heard their steps. He asked her about the classics, she answered, and the consort was glad. The two palaces grew more harmonious.[^zhengshi] ## Accession The Longqing Emperor died in the fifth month of his sixth year. On the jiazi day of the sixth month Zhu Yijun took the throne, named the next year the first of Wanli, and proclaimed an amnesty. Ministers who had died loyal to the Jianwen court were commemorated in their districts, and their descendants were recorded for honor. Gao Gong was dismissed that month. Gao Yi died. Minister of Rites Lü Tiaoyang entered the grand secretariat. In the seventh month grain transport was opened to Miyun, and the court was warned to drop old habits. The empress was honored as Empress Dowager Rensheng, and Consort Li as Empress Dowager Cisheng. In the ninth month the Longqing Emperor was buried at the Zhaoling. In the twelfth month, because the mourning period was not over, the lanterns of the next New Year and the palace banquet were cancelled.[^zhengshi] ## Scope of this juan Juan 20 is the first half of the Shenzong annals. Its sections run from the sixth year of Longqing through the twenty-fourth year of Wanli. The passage read here is the opening and the sixth year of Longqing. It does not reach a death scene in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, so none is added.

His temple name was Guangzong and his era name was Taichang.

The passage read in juan 21 of the Ming History calls him the heir apparent and, after accession, Guangzong. It does not spell out a taboo personal name.[^zhengshi][^wikidata] ## Accession The Ming History says the Wanli Emperor died in the seventh month of his forty-eighth year. On the dingyou day the heir, following the testament, issued a million taels to reward the frontier, abolished the mining and commercial taxes, and restored officials who had been punished for remonstrance. On the jihai day another million taels were issued for the frontier. On the first day of the eighth month, bingwu, he took the throne, proclaimed an amnesty, named the next year the first of Taichang, and remitted taxes in provinces hit by disaster. Liaodong suffered a great drought. On the gengshen day the Yellow River at Lanzhou ran clear for three days. In that month Shi Jikai, Shen Que, He Zongyan, Liu Yijing, Han Kuang and Zhu Guozuo entered the grand secretariat, and Ye Xianggao was summoned.[^zhengshi] ## Death On the bingyin day the emperor was ill. On the wuchen day he received the Duke of Yingguo, Zhang Weixian, Grand Secretary Fang Congzhe and eleven others at the Qianqing Palace, and had his eldest son come out to see them. On the jiaxu day he was dying and again summoned Fang Congzhe and the others to receive his last charge. That same day Li Kezhuo of the Court of State Ceremonial presented a red pill. He died in the Qianqing Palace on the first day of the ninth month, yihai, after one month on the throne, at the age of thirty-nine. After the Tianqi Emperor succeeded, the court decided that the time from the eighth month of the forty-eighth year of Wanli would be called the first year of Taichang. In the tenth month he received his posthumous title and the temple name Guangzong, and was buried at the Qingling.[^zhengshi] The historian's comment at the end of the juan says Guangzong's virtue had long been known and the realm had looked to him, but he reigned only a month, his measures were never carried out, and the struggles over the three cases made the factional disaster worse.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Zhu Changluo[^wikidata] - Temple name: Guangzong[^zhengshi] - Era name: Taichang[^zhengshi] - Place in the dynasty: fourteenth Ming emperor[^wikidata] - Realm: Ming[^wikidata] - Birthplace: [[place_beijing|Beijing]][^wikidata] /people/taichang-emperor-q10065.html en zh en 1582 1582 1620 9 26 26 September 1620 historical figure person_cn_q10066 person tianqi-emperor-q10066 明熹宗

He studied at the imperial academy and read widely. Wang Yun of his commandery thought him remarkable at first sight. When Cao Cao was minister of works he summoned Sun Zi, but Sun Zi's brother had been killed by a fellow villager. Sun Zi killed the man himself and took his family to Hedong, so he did not accept the summons. The commandery appointed him again and he declined on grounds of illness.

Sun Zi declined because of the family feud and returned to Hedong.[^zhengshi] ## Keeper of confidential business After the state of Wei was founded he and Liu Fang became secretaries. Before that he had also been a county magistrate and had taken part in the counselor-in-chief's military affairs. When Emperor Wen took the throne they became left and right assistants. At the start of Huangchu the secretariat became the Central Secretariat. Liu Fang was its inspector and Sun Zi its director, each also a palace attendant. Liu Fang was made Marquis of Guannei and Sun Zi Marquis of Guanzhong, and they handled confidential matters. In the third year of Huangchu Sun Zi was advanced to Marquis of Guannei. Emperor Ming favored them still more. Both became mounted attendants, and Sun Zi was advanced to Marquis of Leyang. At the end of Taihe, Wu sent Zhou He by sea to entice Gongsun Yuan. Most of the court opposed a campaign. Only Sun Zi decided to send the army, and it won a great victory. He was advanced to Marquis of Zuoxiang. At the start of Qinglong both men became palace attendants and grand masters of splendor. In the second year of Jingchu, after Liaodong was pacified, he was enfeoffed with his own county as Marquis of Zhongdu.[^zhengshi] ## Last years After Prince of Qi, Cao Fang, took the throne, Sun Zi was made grand master of the right in the first year of Zhengshi. In the sixth year he became general of the guards and still headed the Central Secretariat. In the seventh year one of his sons was made a village marquis. Liu Fang died in the second year of Jiaping. Sun Zi again yielded his post and went home, was appointed general of the agile cavalry, and became a palace attendant. He died in the third year of Jiaping. His posthumous name was Marquis Zhen, and his son Sun Hong succeeded. That year matches the 251 recorded on this entry.[^zhengshi][^wikidata] ## Basic facts - Name: Sun Zi[^zhengshi] - Courtesy name: Yanlong[^zhengshi] - Death: third year of Jiaping, recorded here as 251[^zhengshi][^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124461406|Sun Zi]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/sun-zi-q10127095.html en zh en 251 251 historical figure person_cn_q10220658 person baozhu-q10220658 宝珠

The Chinese Wikipedia describes You Erjie as sentimental, gentle and beautiful: careless in conduct before her marriage, but loyal once she was married to Jia Lian. Jia Lian secretly took her as a second wife and housed her outside the Rong mansion. Ping'er mentioned this to Wang Xifeng without meaning to. While Jia Lian was away, Wang Xifeng brought You Erjie into the household.

Inside, she was outwardly kinder, while Qiutong was set to harass You Erjie, meals were withheld, and a quack doctor destroyed a nearly formed child. Under that pressure You Erjie swallowed gold and died. When Jia Lian returned he found almost nothing left of her property.

Wikidata uses Cui Fujun as the Chinese title and also lists Cui Jue, Cui Ci, Cui Ziyu and Cui Yuanjing. The cited Chinese Wikipedia says Tang and Song records are scattered, that the Long Draft Continuation of the Comprehensive Mirror states that his name was lost, and that one tradition calls him Jue while another calls him Ci, courtesy name Ziyu. Because the citations do not settle on one personal name, the titles already on this entry stay unchanged.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Rival origins The Chinese Wikipedia reports an account in the Compendium of Gods from the Three Teachings: he was from Gucheng in Qizhou, his father was Cui Rang, he was born on the sixth day of the sixth month of the third year of Daye, and he was named Ziyu. In the seventh year of Zhenguan he was magistrate of Changzi county in Luzhou, and legend says he judged the living by day and the underworld by night. Shanxi gazetteers more often record a Cui Jue of Leping. The same page also tells of his magistracy at Fuyang in Cizhou, and of the Dunhuang tale Tang Taizong Enters the Underworld, in which he, as judge of Fengdu, releases Taizong's soul. Journey to the West mentions that story.[^zhwiki] ## Later titles The page goes on to say that during the An Lushan rebellion he appeared in a dream to comfort Emperor Xuanzong and was enfeoffed as the Numinous and Holy Marquis Who Protects the State. In the second year of Jingyou he was advanced to Duke of Manifest Response Who Protects the State, and in the second year of Yuanfu to the corresponding prince. A further title added Zhaohui. Under the Southern Song the story of the clay horse carrying Prince Kang was told. After Zhao Gou took the throne he founded a temple and granted it the plaque Xianwei. In the thirteenth year of Chunxi the deity was reclassified as a perfected lord.

Wikidata uses Wu Yong as his name. The cited Chinese Wikipedia gives his courtesy name as Xuejiu, his Daoist name as Master Jialiang, and his nickname as the Star of Wisdom, so the title stays the personal name. This entry records his death in 1124.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Origins He is from Dongxi village in Yuncheng county, Jizhou, Shandong. He and Chao Gai had been friends since childhood, and his companions respectfully called him Scholar Wu. He had worked as a tutor in wealthy households. The page says he was learned in military stratagems, clear-browed and fair, with a long beard, and skilled with a pair of bronze chains.[^zhwiki] ## Liangshan He later planned the seizure, by Chao Gai and others, of the hundred thousand strings of birthday tribute that Governor Liang was sending to Cai Jing. Warned by Song Jiang, they reached Liangshan before the pursuit. After arriving, Wu Yong provoked Lin Chong into killing Wang Lun and setting Chao Gai up as chief. Wu Yong himself became Liangshan's chief strategist, and both civil and military business passed through his hands. When the band attacked Gaotang and Gao Lian's sorcery could not be broken, he sent Li Kui and Dai Zong to fetch the recluse Gongsun Sheng, who defeated Gao Lian with the orthodox rite of the five thunders. After the amnesty he advised Song Jiang and Lu Junyi in the campaigns against Liao, Tian Hu, Wang Qing and Fang La, and was made martial-integrity general and Chengxuan commissioner of Wusheng army.[^zhwiki] ## Death In a dream he learned that Song Jiang had been murdered. Unable to repay that bond, he and Hua Rong hanged themselves before Song Jiang's grave at Liao'erwa outside the south gate of Chuzhou, and were buried beside the tomb.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Wu Yong[^wikidata] - Courtesy name: Xuejiu[^zhwiki] - Nickname: Star of Wisdom[^zhwiki] - Description: a character in Water Margin[^wikidata] - Birthplace: [[place_cn_371725|Yuncheng County]][^wikidata] - Death recorded on this entry: 1124[^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: teacher[^wikidata] - Appears in: [[work_cn_q70827|Water Margin]] /people/wu-yong-q1038409.html en zh en 1124 1124 Character in Water Margin true literary character person_cn_q1038434 person wei-dingguo-q1038434 魏定国

Wikidata uses Wei Dingguo as his name. Divine Fire General is a nickname and Earth-fierce Star is a star name, so the title stays the personal name.[^wikidata] ## In the novel The cited Chinese Wikipedia says he is from Lingzhou, skilled in fire attack, and fights with fire weapons. He is called the Divine Fire General. He has eyes like bright stars, a round face and a tiger beard, and he dresses in red, with a red-bronze spear and a red horse, set against Shan Tinggui's black equipment. After Liangshan took Daming, Cai Jing recommended him and Shan Tinggui against the outlaws. In the first battle the two generals captured Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen. After Guan Sheng brought Shan Tinggui over, their combined force besieged Wei Dingguo in Lingzhou. With no way back, and with Guan Sheng coming in person to urge surrender, Wei Dingguo joined Liangshan. Later he followed Lu Junyi against Fang La's Shezhou. Seeing no banners and no soldiers on the wall, he and Shan Tinggui raced for the credit. They did not see the trap, fell with their horses into a pit, and were killed by the ambush.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Wei Dingguo[^wikidata] - Nickname: Divine Fire General[^zhwiki] - Description: a character in Water Margin[^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: military officer[^wikidata] - Appears in: [[work_cn_q70827|Water Margin]] /people/wei-dingguo-q1038434.html en zh en Character in Water Margin true literary character person_cn_q1039216 person xiahou-xuan-q1039216 夏侯玄

This entry records his life as 209 to 254.[^wikidata][^zhengshi] ## Early career He was famous young and, just after capping, became a mounted gentleman attendant of the yellow gate. Once, at an audience, he was seated with Mao Zeng, the empress's brother. He felt ashamed and did not hide it. Emperor Ming resented this and demoted him to supervisor of the feathered forest. At the start of Zhengshi, Cao Shuang held the regency. Xiahou Xuan was the son of Cao Shuang's paternal aunt and rose to mounted attendant and capital guard. He sent the grand tutor Sima Yi three discussions of the time: separating selection of officials from local reputation and from the secretariat's assessment, simplifying local posts and inspection, and reforming dress so as to check luxury. Sima Yi replied that the proposals were excellent but hard to impose on settled habit, and should wait for an able man. Xiahou Xuan wrote back that the moment to change was not a moment to wait.[^zhengshi] ## The western command and the fall He was soon made general who campaigns in the west, with credentials to supervise military affairs in Yong and Liang provinces. With Cao Shuang he launched the campaign through Luogu, and contemporaries mocked it. After Cao Shuang was killed, Xiahou Xuan was summoned as grand herald and, some years later, moved to the ministry of ceremonies. He was unhappy at the suppression of Cao Shuang's party. Li Feng, director of the secretariat, outwardly close to Sima Shi, privately joined the empress's father Zhang Ji and planned to make Xiahou Xuan regent. In the second month of the sixth year of Jiaping they meant to kill the general-in-chief when a noble lady was received and the palace gates were under restricted troops, and to put Xiahou Xuan in his place. Sima Shi heard something of the plot, summoned Li Feng, and killed him when he came unaware. Xiahou Xuan, Zhang Ji, Su Shuo, Yue Dun and Liu Xian were sent to the commandant of justice.[^zhengshi] ## Execution The Records say his capacity was broad. When he was taken to the eastern market for execution his color did not change and his movements stayed composed. He was forty-six. In the Zhengyuan era the heirs of meritorious officials were restored, and Xiahou Ben, a junior descendant of Xiahou Shang, was made Marquis of Changling so as to continue Xiahou Shang's sacrifices.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Xiahou Xuan[^zhengshi] - Courtesy name: Taichu[^zhengshi] - Dates recorded on this entry: 209–254[^wikidata] - Realm: Cao Wei[^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124635133|Xiahou Xuan]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/xiahou-xuan-q1039216.html en zh en 209 209 254 254 historical figure person_cn_q1039517 person zhu-huan-q1039517 朱桓

Wikidata uses Zhu Huan as his name. The Records of the Three Kingdoms say his courtesy name was Xiumu and that he was from Wu in Wu commandery, so the title stays the personal name. This entry records his life as 177 to 238.[^wikidata][^zhengshi] ## Rise When Sun Quan was a general, Zhu Huan served in his headquarters and was later made chief of Yuyao. An epidemic struck and grain became scarce. He assigned capable clerks, saw to medicine himself, and kept porridge coming, so the people were grateful. He then became colonel who sweeps away raiders, with two thousand soldiers, and in a year gathered more than ten thousand scattered people in Wu and Kuaiji. When hill bandits in Danyang and Poyang took towns and killed officials, he led the generals and put them down. He rose to assistant general, was made Marquis of Xincheng, and later replaced Zhou Tai as supervisor at Ruxu.[^zhengshi] ## The battle at Ruxu In the first year of Huangwu, Cao Ren of Wei led several tens of thousands toward Ruxu and first announced an attack on Xianxi. Zhu Huan sent troops there, but Cao Ren advanced to within seventy li of Ruxu. Zhu Huan had only five thousand men, and his generals were afraid. He recalled the Xianxi force, but Cao Ren arrived first. Zhu Huan hid his banners to look weak and drew Cao Ren's son Cao Tai against the city, while Chang Diao, Zhuge Qian and Wang Shuang took oil-boats against Zhongzhou. Zhu Huan himself held Cao Tai. Cao Tai burned his camp and retreated. Zhuge Qian was killed, Wang Shuang was captured and sent to Wuchang, and more than a thousand were cut down or drowned. Sun Quan enfeoffed Zhu Huan as Marquis of Jiaxing, made him martial-fury general, and gave him the chancellorship of Pengcheng.[^zhengshi] ## Last years In the seventh year of Huangwu, Zhou Fang, governor of Poyang, lured Cao Xiu of Wei. Lu Xun was commander, and Quan Cong and Zhu Huan the left and right supervisors, each with thirty thousand men. Zhu Huan asked to cut Cao Xiu off on the dangerous roads at Jiashi and Guache and to capture him himself. Lu Xun refused, and the plan was not used. In the first year of Huanglong he was made front general, shepherd of Qing province, with credentials. In the sixth year of Jiahe, Lü Xi, a clerk of Lujiang in Wei, asked Wu to receive him. Zhu Huan and Quan Cong went, the plot leaked, and the army withdrew. A broad stream lay outside the city. When the army was half across, Zhu Huan stayed in the rear, and the Wei troops did not dare come out. He later killed the assistant general Hu Zong in anger. Sun Quan valued his ability and did not punish him, sending Zhu Huan's son Zhu Yi to take the troops while Zhu Huan was treated for several months and then returned to Zhongzhou. He died in the first year of Chiwu at sixty-two. The family had no surplus wealth, and Sun Quan gave five thousand hu of salt for the funeral. Zhu Yi succeeded him.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Zhu Huan[^zhengshi] - Courtesy name: Xiumu[^zhengshi] - Dates recorded on this entry: 177–238[^wikidata] - Realm: Eastern Wu[^wikidata] - Birthplace: [[place_suzhou|Suzhou]][^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124145907|Zhu Huan]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/zhu-huan-q1039517.html en zh en 177 177 238 238 historical figure person_cn_q10402754 person jiao-da-q10402754 焦大

He has the same given name as Jia Baoyu, looks and temperament much like him, and is one year younger. The surnames Zhen and Jia are used to set the true against the false. The Zhen house is as eminent as the Jia house: its ancestors received the imperial visit four times, and the two families are both old kin and hereditary friends.[^zhwiki] ## What the first eighty chapters say In the first eighty chapters Zhen Baoyu never comes on stage. People in the Jia house only talk about him. They say he was unruly as a child and skipped school every day, and that he would study only with two girls beside him. He held the word daughter to be the most honored and the most pure, rarer than auspicious beasts or rare plants. When his father beat him past endurance he cried out sister at random. Jia Baoyu met him in a dream and kept expecting him. When Zhen Baoyu was four, Jia Yucun came as the family tutor and resigned because he could not bear the grandmother's spoiling. The article says the same Jia Yucun also began Lin Daiyu's lessons. At fourteen the Zhen house was raided, and Zhen Baoyu, like Jia Baoyu, dreamed of the Land of Illusion. The article lists these mentions of the Zhen family in the first eighty chapters: Jia Yucun speaks of the Jiangnan Zhen house while Leng Zixing describes the Rongguo house; Xifeng reports a gift from the Zhen house; Nanny Zhao tells of four imperial receptions; the Zhen house comes to the capital to pay respects and the Zhen lady is received; five hundred taels of funeral silver arrive after Jia Jing's death; a screen arrives for the Lady Dowager's birthday; during the search of the garden Tanchun says the household was discussing the raid on the Zhen house that morning; Madam You reads in the gazette that the Zhen house is guilty; Lady Wang tells the Lady Dowager of the confiscation and the summons to the capital for punishment.[^zhwiki] ## The later account in the article The article says that after waking he put away his childhood mischief, set his mind on rank, and studied in earnest. At eighteen he met Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu thought him bent on office, a parasite of salary, and they parted on bad terms. Zhen Baoyu later passed the provincial examination. When he heard from Jia Lan that Jia Baoyu had wandered off in a daze, he sighed and tried to comfort the family. In the tenth month Jia Baoyu took leave of Jia Zheng and returned to the Green Ridge Peak. Zhen Baoyu stayed in the ordinary world, married Li Qi, a cousin of Li Wan, and meant to restore the house through the examinations.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Zhen Baoyu[^wikidata] - Description: a character in Dream of the Red Chamber[^wikidata] - Appears in: [[work_cn_q8265|Dream of the Red Chamber]][^zhwiki] /people/zhen-baoyu-q10423836.html en zh en Character in Dream of the Red Chamber true literary character person_cn_q1042908 person qiao-rui-q1042908 桥蕤

This entry dates his death to 197.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Under Yuan Shu Yuan Shu made him grand general. In the fourth year of Chuping (193) he joined Yuan Shu in attacking Qiyang, in Cao Cao's territory. Yuan Shu wanted to send He Kui to urge a surrender. He Kui refused and hid on Qian Mountain. In the first year of Xingping (194) Sun Ce attached himself to Yuan Shu, who returned Sun Jian's old troops to him. Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun both treated Sun Ce with respect.[^zhwiki] ## The second year of Jian'an In the second year of Jian'an (197) Yuan Shu took the imperial title in Huainan and called his regime Zhongjia. He sought a marriage alliance with Lü Bu, and Lü Bu first agreed. The envoy Han Yin announced the imperial claim and came to fetch the bride. Chen Gui, chancellor of Pei, feared a union of Xu province and Yang province and persuaded Lü Bu to refuse. Lü Bu also resented Yuan Shu's earlier failure to help him. He recalled the daughter already on the road, sent Han Yin in custody to Xu, and Cao Cao had Han Yin beheaded. Yuan Shu sent his generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, with the White Wave leaders Han Xian and Yang Feng, in seven columns of infantry and cavalry against Lü Bu. Lü Bu had few troops. On Chen Gui's plan he wrote to Han Xian and Yang Feng, urging them to turn on Yuan Shu, and he sent them military supplies. They were pleased, joined Lü Bu, and smashed Zhang Xun at Xiapi. Cao Cao then marched in person. When Yuan Shu heard it he abandoned his army and fled back to Huainan, leaving Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Yue Jiu. The article says Cao Cao's general Yu Jin captured these four alive and beheaded them all. The rest scattered, and nearly all were killed, wounded, or drowned.[^zhwiki] ## A different death in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells another story. When Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu ordered Qiao Rui to hold the border of Shouchun with fifty thousand men.

Qingwen says that one bath Bihen prepared for Baoyu lasted two or three double-hours, that the water on the floor reached the legs of the bed, and that the mat was soaked as well.[^zhwiki] ## Xiaohong She got on badly with Xiaohong, another young maid beside Baoyu, and often scolded her.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Bihen[^wikidata] - Role: maid of Jia Baoyu[^wikidata] - Setting recorded on this entry: the dynasty of the novel[^wikidata] - Appears in: [[work_cn_q8265|Dream of the Red Chamber]][^zhwiki] /people/bihen-q10442532.html en zh en Character in Dream of the Red Chamber true literary character person_cn_q1044418 person li-feng-q1044418 李丰

Li Feng (died 254), courtesy name Anguo, or Xuan'guo in another account, was from Dong county in Fengyi and served Cao Wei as prefect of the palace secretariat. In the second month of 254 Sima Shi killed him with the iron ring of a knife handle. This entry dates his death to 254.

Wikidata names him Li Feng, so the title stays the personal name. The cited article gives his courtesy name as Anguo, and in another account as Xuanguo. The courtesy name is disputed, so it does not replace the title. He was from Dong county in Fengyi, and this entry places his birthplace at [[place_cn_610523|Dali County]]. His father, Li Yi (the name written 义), was commandant of the guards. Li Feng rose to prefect of the palace secretariat. This entry dates his death to 254 and records him as a political figure.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Early reputation In the Huangchu years he was summoned to follow the army because of his father's appointment. He was then seventeen or eighteen, living at Ye, known for integrity and for judging men, and his reputation soon reached Xuchang. His father made him shut his door and study, away from guests. After Cao Rui became emperor he asked a man who had come over from Wu which notable of the central plains he had heard of. The man said he knew only Li Anguo. Cao Rui later asked his attendants who Li Anguo was, and they said it was Li Feng's courtesy name. Li Feng served as gentleman of the yellow gate, commandant of cavalry, and palace attendant. After Cao Rui died he became coachman of Yongning. The article says his fame outran his ability, so he was not given great trust.[^zhwiki] ## After Zhengshi In the Zhengshi years he became attendant within the palace and vice director of the secretariat, and he often pleaded illness. A hundred days of sick leave stopped the salary, so for several years he was ill for a few days, recovered, and fell ill again. When his son Li Tao was chosen to marry a princess, Li Feng refused in public and agreed in private. His younger brothers, Li Yi (the name written 翼) and Li Wei, were grand administrators for many years. While Sima Yi was long ill, Li Wei drank and mismanaged Xinping and Fufeng, and Li Feng did nothing. People thought he relied on favor. While Cao Shuang held power, Li Feng tried to please both Cao Shuang and Sima Yi. A jingle compared Cao Shuang to hot soup, the grand tutor to cold slurry, and the Li brothers to the spirit Youguang. On the day Sima Yi destroyed Cao Shuang, he stopped his chariot at court and told Li Feng. Li Feng was so frightened that he crouched on the ground and could not rise. After Sima Yi died, the prefecture of the secretariat was vacant. Someone recommended Li Feng to Sima Shi. Li Feng thought of his marriage tie to Cao Fang and did not decline. He privately favored Xiahou Xuan and joined Zhang Ji, the empress's father, who had been removed from a commandery. They meant to overthrow Sima Shi and make Xiahou Xuan general-in-chief. Li Feng secretly had his younger brother Li Yi (翼) ask to enter court with troops. The requests were not granted.[^zhwiki] ## Death The article places the plot in the second month of 254, when a noble lady was to be received at court. Li Feng planned to use the imperial carriage's arrival, have the emperor's troops at the gates kill Sima Shi, replace him with Xiahou Xuan, and make Zhang Ji general of the agile cavalry. The plotters included Su Shuo, supervisor of the yellow gate, Le Dun, prefect of the Yongning office, and Liu Xian, servant of the attendants. Sima Shi heard of it and sent Wang Yang with a carriage to fetch Li Feng. Under questioning Li Feng knew the plot was exposed and cursed Sima Shi aloud. Sima Shi, in anger, killed him with the iron ring on a knife handle. That night the body was sent to the commandant of justice. Zhong Yu first refused it, saying it was not a case for the judge, and accepted it only after the edict arrived. Zhang Ji was ordered to die. Zhong Yu reported that Li Feng and the others had meant to seize the emperor and kill Sima Shi on their own authority. After the ministers and the commandant deliberated, Li Tao, Xiahou Xuan, Su Shuo, Le Dun, Liu Xian, and others were beheaded and their three kindred groups destroyed. The remaining dependents were moved to Lelang. A separate edict spared the three sons of Princess Qi the Elder because she was a daughter of the late emperor. Li Feng's daughter Li Wan, already married to Jia Chong, was exiled and separated from her husband, and was pardoned only after the Western Jin was founded. Cao Fang was furious at Li Feng's death and asked how he had died. Empress Dowager Guo, afraid, called Cao Fang inside, and the questioning stopped. Cao Fang was deposed in the ninth month.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Li Feng[^wikidata] - Courtesy name: Anguo, or Xuanguo in another account[^zhwiki] - Death year recorded on this entry: 254[^wikidata] - Realm: Cao Wei[^wikidata] - Birthplace: [[place_cn_610523|Dali County]][^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124635251|Li Feng]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/li-feng-q1044418.html en zh en 254 254 historical figure person_cn_q1044450 person hu-ban-q1044450 胡班

Hu Ban, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is the son of the court gentleman Hu Hua. He served Wang Zhi at Xingyang, spared Guan Yu, and later joined Liu Bei as a general of the standard gate. The article says the man who reported Zhang Fei's death is also written Wu Ban. This entry dates Hu Ban's death to 234, which the article does not narrate.

Wikidata names him Hu Ban. The cited article calls him fictional and says he was the son of Hu Hua, a gentleman-consultant in the reign of Emperor Huan. This entry records him as a commander under Liu Bei and dates his death to 234. The article does not give a year of death, so the stored year is repeated and no death scene is added. The story is set in the Han.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Xingyang He began as an aide of Wang Zhi, governor of Xingyang. After Guan Yu had forced the passes, Wang Zhi received him warmly and secretly ordered Hu Ban to burn Guan Yu's lodging. Hu Ban wanted to see Guan Yu's face, and on seeing him cried out in admiration. Guan Yu asked his name and showed him Hu Hua's letter. Hu Ban then told him of Wang Zhi's plan. Guan Yu escorted his two sisters-in-law out of the post station. Wang Zhi pursued and was cut in two at the waist.[^zhwiki] ## Joining Liu Bei Hu Ban later came to Jing province and surrendered to Guan Yu, who remembered the old rescue. When Liu Bei became king of Hanzhong, he sent Hu Ban with Fei Shi into Shu to see the king receive the title. Hu Ban was made general of the standard gate. Liu Bei then had him assist Zhang Fei in holding Langzhong. After Zhang Fei's officers Fan Qiang and Zhang Da killed Zhang Fei, the article says Hu Ban reported directly to Liu Bei, and notes that this reporter is also written Wu Ban. Zhang Fei's elder son Zhang Bao coffined the body, the second son Zhang Shao held Langzhong, and Zhang Bao was sent to Chengdu. Both names appear for that report, so the title stays Hu Ban.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Hu Ban[^wikidata] - Death year recorded on this entry: 234; the cited article does not narrate that death[^wikidata] - Role: a commander under Liu Bei[^wikidata] - Setting recorded on this entry: Han[^wikidata] - Appears in: [[work_cn_q70806|Romance of the Three Kingdoms]][^zhwiki] /people/hu-ban-q1044450.html en zh en 234 234 Character in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms true literary character person_cn_q1044471 person sun-li-q1044471 孙礼

Sun Li (died 250 in this entry), courtesy name Deda, was from Rongcheng in Zhuo commandery. He became minister of works under Cao Wei, with the posthumous title Marquis Jing. The Records of the Three Kingdoms do not give the year of his death.

Wikidata's simplified Chinese label is Sun Li, and the English label is Sun Li. The Records of the Three Kingdoms say his courtesy name was Deda and that he was from Rongcheng in Zhuo commandery, so the title stays the personal name. This entry dates his death to 250 and records him as a political figure, with his birthplace at [[place_cn_130629|Rongcheng County]]. The cited encyclopedia says 250 or 251. The Records say only that he died and was given the posthumous title Marquis Jing. They do not give the month or year.[^wikidata][^zhwiki][^zhengshi] ## Rise During the troubles he was separated from his mother. Ma Tai of the same commandery found her, and Sun Li gave Ma Tai the whole family property. After Cao Cao pacified You province, he summoned Sun Li as a counselor on the staff of the minister of works. Ma Tai was later condemned to death. Sun Li privately showed him how to escape over the prison wall, then said a subject had no right to flee, and went straight to Wen Hui, the clerk who investigated crime, to give himself up. Wen Hui told Cao Cao. Both men had their death sentences reduced by one degree. Sun Li then became assistant in Hejian and gradually commandant of Xingyang. Several hundred bandits in the hills of Lu held the passes and harmed the people, and the court moved him to be chancellor of Lu. He brought out salary grain, raised clerks and people, offered rewards for heads, and also took in those who surrendered, sending them back as agents. The district was soon quiet. He governed Shanyang, Pingyuan, Pingchang, and Langye. When he followed the grand marshal Cao Xiu against Wu at Jiashi, he advised Cao Xiu not to go deep. Cao Xiu did not listen and was defeated. Sun Li then became governor of Yangping and, at court, a master of writing.[^zhengshi] ## Under the Ming emperor The Ming emperor was building palaces while the seasons were disordered and grain was short. Sun Li argued hard, and the labor was stopped. The edict said the frank advice was accepted and the people should be sent home, but the supervisor Li Hui asked to keep them another month to finish the work. Sun Li went to the site, made no further memorial, and dismissed the workers in the emperor's name. The emperor thought the intention remarkable and did not punish him. When the emperor hunted on Dashi Mountain, a tiger rushed the carriage. Sun Li threw down his whip, dismounted, and meant to strike the tiger with his sword. The emperor ordered him back onto the horse. As the Ming emperor was dying, he made Cao Shuang general-in-chief and, receiving the testamentary edict by the bed, appointed Sun Li chief clerk of the general-in-chief and cavalier attendant. Sun Li was upright and would not bend. Cao Shuang found that inconvenient and sent him out as inspector of Yang province, wave-subduing general, and marquis within the passes.[^zhengshi] ## Shaopei and Jizhou The Wu general Quan Cong invaded with tens of thousands. Most of the provincial troops were away, and few remained. Sun Li led the guards himself and fought at Shaopei from dawn until evening. More than half the officers and men were killed or wounded. His horse took several wounds. He held the drumstick and went among the blades, and the Wu force withdrew. The court granted seven hundred bolts of silk. He mourned the dead and gave all the silk to their families. He was later called in as steward of the lesser treasury, went out as inspector of Jing province, and then became shepherd of Ji province. Sima Yi told him that Qinghe and Pingyuan had disputed their border for eight years and that two inspectors had failed to settle it. Sun Li said the map from the time the founder first enfeoffed Pingyuan should decide the case. When he arrived he followed the map and assigned the land to Pingyuan. Cao Shuang believed Qinghe and wrote that the map could not be used and that other views should be weighed. Sun Li memorialized, put on his sash and shoes, and waited in his carriage to be dismissed. Cao Shuang was furious, charged him with resentment, and sentenced him to five years. After a year at home, and after many people spoke for him, he was made colonel of the city gates.[^zhengshi] ## Last years The Xiongnu king Liu Jing was strong, and the Xianbei often raided the frontier. The court made Sun Li inspector of Bing province, martial-awe general, holder of credentials, and protector of the Xiongnu. He visited Sima Yi with an angry face and said nothing. Sima Yi thought he found Bing province too small, or still resented the border decision. Sun Li said he was not thinking of rank or of the old case. What grieved him was that the altars were in danger. He wept. Sima Yi told him to endure what was hard to endure. After Cao Shuang was killed, Sun Li became colonel-director of retainers. He had charge, in all, of seven commanderies and five provinces, and in each he had authority. He was promoted to minister of works and enfeoffed as Marquis of Daliting, with a hundred households. He and Lu Yu were of the same commandery and the same generation, but they were not close. Their reputations and ranks were roughly equal. The Records say he died, was posthumously titled Marquis Jing, and was succeeded by his grandson Sun Yuan.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Sun Li[^zhengshi] - Courtesy name: Deda[^zhengshi] - Death year recorded on this entry: 250; the Records give no year, and the encyclopedia says 250 or 251[^wikidata][^zhwiki] - Realm: Cao Wei[^wikidata] - Birthplace: [[place_cn_130629|Rongcheng County]][^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata] - Posthumous title: Marquis Jing[^zhengshi] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124460602|Sun Li]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/sun-li-q1044471.html en zh en 250 250 historical figure person_cn_q10449210 person qiutong-q10449210 秋桐

Wikidata names her Hu Sanniang. The same materials also give the nickname Yizhangqing and the star name Dihuixing. Neither the nickname nor the star name replaces the title. This entry calls her one of the three women commanders of Liangshan, and the story is set in the Great Song.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## In battle She is the daughter of the lord of Hu manor and the younger sister of Hu Cheng, the Flying Tiger. She was betrothed to Zhu Biao. She fights with a pair of sun-and-moon swords and can take prisoners with a rope from the saddle. When Song Jiang attacked Zhu manor, Hu manor sent troops to help. Her rope took Wang Ying, Qin Ming, and others one after another, and for a time no one on Liangshan dared to meet her. Song Jiang sent Lin Chong. Lin Chong captured her, and Song Jiang gave her to his father, Lord Song, to watch. Hu Cheng then made peace, agreeing that anyone from Zhu manor who fled to Hu manor would be bound and sent to Liangshan, in exchange for Hu Sanniang.[^zhwiki] ## On the mountain, and her death After Zhu manor was destroyed she took Lord Song as an adoptive father and became Song Jiang's sworn younger sister. The article calls her the first woman commander of Liangshan. Song Jiang matched her with Wang Ying. Husband and wife together handled the internal affairs of the Liangshan forces, and she ranked fifty-ninth. In the later campaign against Fang La, Zheng Biao killed Wang Ying. She went to take revenge and was struck from her horse by a stone bullet Zheng Biao threw. She died and was posthumously titled Lady of Huayang commandery.[^zhwiki] ## A few further notes in the article The article says that in chapter 55, fighting Huyan Zhuo, she tells the Hua general to rest and watch her take the man, that in chapter 51 she bows her thanks when Song Jiang makes the match, and that she joins the oath at the great assembly. The 120-chapter version adds a line in the Tian Hu campaign: when Qiong Ying spears Wang Ying in the thigh, Hu Sanniang curses her. In earlier sources the name Yizhangqing is not this woman. In the Eulogies of Song Jiang's Thirty-Six it appears in the verse for Yan Qing, and the Anecdotes of the Xuanhe Reign of the Great Song has a Yizhangqing Zhang Heng. The article also lists performers in several films and television versions.
