Translation:

Song Hongzi Zhongzi, a native of Chang 'an County, Jingzhao County, was granted the position of Doctor Song Hong. There is no savings at home, and this kind of clean conduct has been well received by the world.

Emperor Guangwu once asked Song Hong about the knowledgeable people in China, so Song Hong recommended Huan Tan from Peiguo, saying that he was knowledgeable and could almost catch up with Yang Xiong, Liu Xiang and Liu Xin. Guangwudi then appointed Huan Tan as a negotiator and a minister. After that, Emperor Guangwu always asked Huan Tan to play the piano at every banquet, because he liked the wonderful melodic music. Song Hong was unhappy when he knew it, and regretted recommending Huan Tan at that time.

when Huan Tan retired from the palace, Song Hong neatly put on his royal robes, sat down in the Great Sikong Mansion Hall, and sent a subordinate to summon Huan Tan. After Huan Tan came in, Song Hong did not invite him to sit down. He scolded, "The reason why I recommended you is that you should help the king with morality, but now you have played Zheng Wei's lewd voice to the emperor several times, which has damaged the orthodoxy of Ya and Ode. Can you correct it yourself? Or should I correct it according to law? "

Huan Tan repeatedly kowtowed to admit his mistake, and it was a long time before Song Hong let him leave. Later, Emperor Guangwu's ministers called Huan Tan played the piano. When Huan Tan saw that Song Hong was here, he was very uneasy, and he didn't play as skillfully as usual. Guangwudi was surprised and asked why. Song Hong left his seat, took off his official hat, and apologized to Emperor Guangwu: "The reason why I recommended Huan Tan is that I hope he can guide the king with the festival of loyalty and integrity, but now he has let the court indulge in Zheng Wei's lewdness, which is a sin for me."

On hearing this, Emperor Guangwu changed his expression and immediately apologized to Song Hong and asked him to put on his hat. After that, Huan Tan was no longer allowed to take up the post of minister. Song Hong * * * recommended more than 3 sages such as Feng Yi and Huan Liang, some of whom successively served as ministers or ministers.

Song Hongzi was born in Chang 'an, Jingzhao. Guangwu acceded to the throne, and sought worship from Dr. Tai Zhong. If the family has no assets, it will be called Qing Bank.

The Emperor asked Hong, a knowledgeable scholar. Hong recommended Huan Tan, a scholar from Peiguo, to learn and talk about it, and he was able to compare with Yang Xiong and Liu Xiang. So he called Tan Bai to discuss Lang and give him a job. Every time the emperor feasts, he needs to make the drums sound good. Hong Wen was unhappy and regretted the recommendation. Waiting for Tan to go out, he was sitting in the palace in royal robes and sent officials to call him.

Tan Zhi, without being present, let him say, "The reason why I recommended my son is to help the country to be moral, but now I have come to Zheng Sheng to praise the elegance, and those who are not loyal and upright are also. Can self-correct evil? Will it make the same thing happen? " Tan Dun first made a speech in politely decline, but he sent it for a long time. After the meeting, the ministers, the emperor made Tan Guqin and Tan Jianhong lose their normality. The emperor asked me about it.

Hong Nai took his hat off and thanked him, saying, "I recommend Huan Tan because I hope that I can guide the Lord with loyalty and justice, so that the court will be pleased with Zheng Sheng, and I will be guilty." The emperor changed his capacity to thank him and made him take it, and then he stopped making Tan give things. Hong Jin promoted more than 3 sages, such as Feng Yi and Huan Liang, or those who were ministers.

Creation background

In the ninth year of Yuanjia (432), Fan Ye offended Stuart Liu Yikang due to his misconduct, and was demoted as the satrap of Xuancheng, while Fan Ye was depressed.

Fan Ye took the History of the East View of Han as the basic historical data, and Huaying's book as the main blueprint, absorbed the strengths of other books, deleted the complexity to fill the gaps, tidied up the stories, surpassed many others, and came from behind. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, Fan Ye's Book of the Later Han Dynasty replaced the Book of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which prevailed in the world. However, all the books of the Later Han Dynasty, except Yuan Hong's Book of the Later Han Dynasty, have been scattered one after another. So Fan Ye's Book of the Later Han Dynasty has become the most basic basis for studying the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
