The original text is as follows:

Tang Xuanzong, supplemented by Han Xiu, was the same as Pingzhang. Don't be steep, don't share weal and woe, and be a good friend before you can look forward to it. At the beginning, Song was used to make peace and control, so it was cited. When it comes to * * *, it is not honest, and Song gradually hates it.

It's a bit bad to go to the palace or have fun hunting in the backyard, so it's necessary to say, "Do you know Han Xiu?" At the end of the speech, the suggestion came. When he was in the mirror, he was silent and unhappy. "Han Xiu is a relative, and your majesty is very thin. Why not drive him away? " He sighed. "Although I look thin, the world will be fat. Xiao Song often plays things according to his purpose, and I get restless as soon as I retire. Han Xiu always tries to retire, and my sleep is safe. I use Han Xiu for the ears of the country, not for the body. "

Translation:

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appointed Han Xiu as assistant minister, the same as Pingzhang. Han Xiu was upright, did not pursue fame and fortune, and was deeply loved by the people when he was in office. At first, Song thought Han Xiu was gentle and easy to get along with, so he was promoted. Later, when * * * happened, Han Xiu always adhered to the principle of not flattering, and Song gradually became disgusted with him.

Sometimes the emperor went too far to listen to music in the palace or hunt in the backyard, and he would ask around, "Does Han Xiu know?" But Han Xiu always writes in time and gives advice. Tang Xuanzong doesn't like to hear this. Someone once advised him to fire Han Xiu, but he said, "Although I look slim, I must be obese in the world.

What Xiao Song reports always suits my heart, but I can't sleep well after he left Korea. And Han Xiu always strives for his own opinions, and I can rest assured that I can sleep after he leaves the DPRK. I use Han Xiu for national affairs, not for personal gain. "
