zhongli scenario – psycho pass au

inspector!zhongli × gender-neutral reader; 3.3k words, angst & dark content (violence). a document of zhongli’s involvement in sibyl as he becomes an enforcer. swearing, violence, heresy, trauma development – it’s psycho pass, a seinen series. please proceed carefully.

a bright individual in academics and well-respected in his social circle, zhongli was practically guaranteed a fulfilling life by the sibyl system.

his peers often looked up to him as a senior: not only did he study diligently and looked forward to integrating himself into society, but he took it upon himself to be an emotional resource for others.

others often described him as a warm balance between equitability and empathy. the word “pragmatic” derived its definition from him, or so was the joke that his friends tossed around.

“ah, you want to sweeten me up, don’t you?” his laugh can pacify even the most irate of hounds – a siren for the “frenzied”, but of course dulled down, just as all passionate emotions are suppressed in this society.

but, oh, sibyl. what will you do to this man?

while zhongli directly benefits from the system – good-natured, charming, and from an established family – it’s only by the system’s choice. self-autonomy is an illusion when it’s dictated by a hand that only has five fingers and one palm.

they all lead to the same end.

zhongli deludes himself with a restless brain. night after night leading up to his sibyl exam, he busies himself with the news (or at least what’s left of it) and sibyl system statistics instead of studying. japan is peaceful. he likes it here, and there’s a life waiting for him. people anticipate his choices. he can’t let them down, yet he also can’t help but wonder . . .

division one welcomes him with open arms. with a crime coefficient of 36.7 and a pretty hue painted like cream vanilla, he is, in nearly every single aspect, a prime candidate for an inspector.

“mister zhongli, are you still working at this hour?”

you speak as if you’re not doing the exact same thing, lurking around the office far from when the lights have been shut off. but your sincerity is reassuring, and as you hand him a glass of water at his station, he can’t help but smile.

“just some extra work childe left. i decided to take over for him so he could sleep early.”

“ah.” hovering around his desk, you shift your weight from one foot to the other like a ship rocked by the waves. out of the corners of his eyes, zhongli sees you lean your body against his cubicle. “and you’re sure you’re not making things too easy for him?”

“probably not.”

a muted chuckle from your lips; your shoulders don’t hold the tension they do during the work day. “hopefully he remembers that you’re giving him extra sleep. let me know if there’s anything i can do for you.”

“much appreciated,” the inspector replies without a beat in between, irises flickering momentarily back to his screen. childe had actually finished most of his work; all that was left was filing and labels. simple stuff, really. childe could easily complete it in less than 20 minutes in the morning, although zhongli can’t bring himself to admit to you that he’s actively concerned with the beastly enforcer.

“actually, would you allow me to walk with you back to your apartment? if you’re heading out for the night.”

there’s something in your eyes he can’t quite place the moment his proposition reaches your ears. you’re set alight by his words, a switch flipped on and a charge igniting your cheeks an enchanting shade of coral – but it doesn’t consume your eyes. had his proposal been too sudden? you’re not exactly the closest of coworkers – perhaps he had wrongly assumed that you would be open to spending more time with him, even if just for a walk – and his paperwork is momentarily forgotten as he scrambles to compose an apology for his frankness.

he probably just should’ve focused on finishing childe’s work instead of giving you mixed signals.

“ – i promise, i thought you were preoccupied. i’d love to be in your company, but i’m not sure how long your filing will take.”

zhongli finds that he can make it 10 minutes instead of 20.

it’s snowing outside; the streets are dark, save for the explosion of lights above in apartment buildings, and the only sounds in the night are of cars revving in the distance. the chill is hardly noticeable underneath the layers of coats you two wear, and he only recalls that it’s winter when he gazes at his boots crunching in the snow, or when he faces you and puffs of warm breath flow from your lips.

admittedly, he’s not even sure where you live – so he walks alongside you as your companion.

“beidou got moved to another division, and miss ningguang didn’t disclose why.” you bite your lip, although zhongli barely catches your ministrations in the dark lighting. only occasional overhead street lamps illuminate your path, but you steadily walk forwards as if you don’t need it in the first place.

“i know it’s not my place to question. i just think that beidou was doing well – it’s odd not seeing her around.”

“i believe there was an announcement earlier last week discussing structural changes in the crime investigation department. beidou will be fine in divison three.” zhongli’s reassurances are quiet in the ambiance, a pacifying lull of flowing water to a clear river. your feet guide you to a left turn. “i can pass a word to one of my colleagues in division three if you don’t have the time to visit.”

“oh? i wasn’t aware that you were one for many connections, mister zhongli,” your voice teases his senses, much like your words poke at his penchant for introversion – but of course, negotiation when necessary. “but you don’t have to go out of your way for me. i’ll shift around my schedule for her. you have your own enforcer to take care of, right?”

“that i do. if it’s acceptable for me to say,” zhongli starts, briefly wondering if his subordinate will pardon the mentions of his name in unofficial business, “childe reminds me of my niece sometimes. always looking for a distraction, for something engaging . . . which often isn’t the best thing to do at the time.”

his fingers drift to the pockets of his coat, smoothing down the fabric inside as you continue. "why don’t you bring her in for work one day? i’m sure you could arrange something with miss ningguang . . . especially since you’re on her good side.”

you don’t mention his standing with her out of malice, or with any hint of resentment in your voice. your observation is matter-of-fact: it’s true, it’s tangible in how ningguang maintains eye contact with zhongli out of everyone else in division briefings, even when disbanding them; how, even just among division officers, her eyes are solely on him.

and of course you’d know this: everyone in the crime investigation bureau has heard about it from the analysts that mow over the security cameras in their spare time.

he exhales into the chilled air, one of admission with a lilt of humility. the corners of his lips are etched unusually high onto his cheeks. “ningguang prefers her workspace neat. i guarantee that if i brought along my niece, she’d tear the place apart. she might even give childe a hard time.”

“i take it that you’ve seen it first-hand?”

“well, yes. not that i’d ever mention her behavior to just anyone.” it’s his turn to chuckle at the thought, although it’s tinged with a hint of . . . dismay. “but she’s smart. i doubt you’ll be hearing of her tirades as she learns more about the system.”

your understanding is communicated through silence, yet it’s not unpleasant. it’s heeding and respectful to his insinuations. he’s aware that no one discloses much of their personal life – since at the bureau, there’s hardly any time for sentiment – and even much less the inner workings of sibyl. among some inspectors, it’s a mutual feeling; a slight nag, but it’s also the truth.

some just prefer avoiding it entirely, and on occasion, it’s also reciprocated.

“mister zho – ”

his wrist-watch screeches in his ear before you can finish uttering his name. sibyl’s voice is entirely unwelcome on a quiet night such as this, with her magnetic, crisp timbre, and by the parting of your lips, zhongli knows you’re receiving the exact same message he is. snow no longer conceals the pavement, but instead, numbers and letters. images, even, of murky colors with three-dimensional graphs and timelines.

“area stress level abnormal,” sibyl reports in his mind. “enforcement action requested.”

there is nothing in his hands – there is no dominator to work with, only maps and crime coefficients strung together in zhongli’s head. but you’re already fumbling for your phone, voice rushing to contact the bureau in the midst of the impromptu warning. “shepherds to hounds, any available? asking for immediate assitan – ”

for the second time in a moment, the sounds emitting from your mouth are overtaken by something else: shouting. zhongli pulls you between two stores as you furiously usher commands to headquarters in the dead of night. surely an analyst would at least pick up your call, if not another working inspector.

“suspect is in his late twenties. crime coefficient . . . of 152.7. do we have any methods of subduction without dominators while we wait for a proper team?”

“no – unless you prefer hand-to-hand incapacitation, or the small stunner.” he doesn’t have to look at your face to know that you’re grimacing, diligently combing over the information you’re given by sibyl. “it’s just one man. he’s been running around for the past ten minutes, and if someone can pick up, it’s a 15 minute drive from the bureau. he’s only latent. we can just negotiate with him.”

your gaze catches his out of the corner of his eyes. it’s dangerous for inspectors to directly involve themselves without dominators, especially without the intervention of enforcers as a preventative measure to not cloud their own crime coefficients. you’re both vetted in combat as per inspector training, but without dominators as a barrier between barbarism and lawful jurisdiction, not even inspectors are exempt from sibyl’s eyes.

“ – was marked by scanners three blocks down. approach one at a time?”

zhongli nods without hesitation, opening his watch to change into his inspector attire as you do likewise.

“meet you there.”

you’re off first, your figure disappearing into the falling snow as the bureau logo on the back of your jacket flutters back at him. he resumes the call that you left on, ears straining to pick up any sounds at all – from both his communicator and his surroundings. a minute passes before he himself is off into the streets, running further into the murky blue of the circumference painted before him in his irises.

out of all the corners he turns, all are empty, save for the occasional scanner. he matches the data on the drones to the information that’s presented on his watch – except that the radius the two of you split up to search in is smaller than before, more specific. also, noticeably more inclined to the streets you ran into; the suspect must have been picked up by more overhead scanners.

zhongli practically shoves his watch next to his lips, voice hissing into the mic. “y/n, are you there?”

a pause, and static silence.

and you pick up. “yeah, yeah, i’m here. got the new info. think i’m closing in – i hear someone panting. i’ll send you my position, and then i’ll approach and try to talk.”

“all right. eta in three minutes. be careful.”

you don’t reply, only sending him off with an emote through the pop-up display.

he runs as swiftly as he possibly can in two inches of snow the drag from his coat is also inconvenient, so he zips it up before resuming his trek. another notification message also pops up from the bureau, and he’s reassured professional enforcements. all he needs to do now is meet up with you.

vaguely, he begins to make out the sound of two voices to his right, one of them distinctly belonging to you: even in tone, yet strained with cracks. a momentary thought crosses him: why are your voices raised? the negotiation must have –

“’ts a sick system!”

“sir, please, i can’t help you unless you try and remain calm.”

“just one time. one fucking time – ” the presumed suspect’s voice rises louder, harsher, overruling your own. zhongli picks up his pace. “you lot can just walk around with your perfect academy scores. so many options. but one bad break for us – the regular ones – and we can be disposed of. there will be a movement, mark my words. this system is fucked, and so are all of you – ”

something – and the worst part is, zhongli doesn’t know what – audibly snaps, and he hears you scream.

he blows in the scene in time to see you, crumpled at the knees and grappling with the suspect, raising a limp wrist to his neck in a vain attempt to get the stunner off. but the suspect knows what you’re trying to do – cruelly enables you even, by jerking you by the elbow towards his jugular – as you wheeze, palm against his shoulder in order to push away.

“what’s the matter, huh? academy didn’t teach you how to fight like in the pits, inspector.”

zhongli charges in before thinking. he only sees you, hair mangled and clothes torn at the cuffs, and the deranged target before him before all three of you collide together.

the snow does nothing to soften your fall, and after he tumbles to the floor with the suspect, zhongli regrets that he had to resort to such brute measures to get you out of danger; the suspect is much larger than you, and even him with his lithe frame, so it takes all of his strength to keep him pinned down onto the concrete, the snow filtering into the hood of his jacket. and much like you moments prior, zhongli is wrestling to get the stunner off.

it’s as if he knows – the target knows about their methods, and keeps the face of the watch away from his skin, inhumanly twisting zhongli’s wrist away. there’s a damaged light in his brown eyes, and zhongli can hear the grating of the man’s teeth as they go back and forth on the ground.

“eta!?” the inspector nearly bites his tongue as he barks out the question, knee working to hold down the target’s thigh.

“a minute and a half!”

your trembling, staggered steps come up to his side in crunches. perspiration nearly drips into his eyes despite the frigid air. it’s so hot, even burning, and he realizes that the sensation isn’t bound to his chest as the suspect continues ranting about sibyl.

“you don’t even question it! neither of you have brains of your own. but we can live! and without your dogshit ‘justice’!”

your wrist is lifeless, but your watch shines on it as if nothing’s wrong. the pain on your face extends to your forearm, where he can see forming bruises through the tears in the fabric; with bitten, bloody lips, you lower your wrist to the target’s neck as zhongli subdues him as best he can –

– thrashing like a red herring in a net.

“bitches to the system.”

the target launches zhongli up and over his body, nearly tossing him to the side as if he were a hefty log, before making another start to you. senses dulled by the pain oozing through your form, zhongli witnesses as your body crashes to the ground once more.

you kick and claw at the man on top of you with what you have left, but he doesn’t relent, crushing your form under his body weight as you once again struggle to stun him.

“you’re all going to kneel soon enough.”

zhongli’s knuckles collide with the target’s cheek, just before your neck is encased by grimy, frostbitten fingers. for the second time, he crashes to the ground with the subject, but this time he doesn’t hesitate to conduct necessary action.

“mister zhongli! that’s enough, mister zhongli . . . ”

what jolts him from his frenzy isn’t you, but rather the sirens that gradually envelop the alleyway in blue and red.

beneath him, the target is unconscious. welts simmer onto his flesh with indents of zhongli’s knuckles, gnarly and ugly, just like the disrupted snow in disarray on the pavement. his nose is bloodied, and just like your wrist, jerked at an unnatural angle. the breaths in zhongli’s chest are haggard, like a beast awoken from slumber, in contrast to the target’s muffled inhales.

and his fingers – they’re painted scarlet as well, just like the ink on the target’s face.

“wow. i never thought you’d make it past 70. but this thing . . . ” you’re no where to be seen, probably dragged off by the medics; metal clacks against a hand behind him. “sorry, but all i’m seeing is 119.”

you’re light-headed once you’re settled into the back of the van. your inspector jacket (or what’s left of it) is suffocating enough that you request for it to be cut off completely, since you can’t shuffle it off with a broken wrist. the small back-up team of childe and keqing are fussing around the scene, keqing in particular instructing the retrieval of your heretic of a target.

zhongli, on the other hand . . .

both hands subdued behind his back, drones escort him off the premise. he doesn’t have his inspector coat on, and instead, childe approaches you with it in hand. the white symbol of the merged caduceus and judicial scales is untainted by the dirtied snow it was subject to.

the enforcer’s voice is light, pretty much normal, despite the dire circumstances as he sits adjacent to you, legs hanging off the back of the van. “you look like you could use a hot shower.”

you don’t humor him – frankly, you don’t have the energy to. you were practically powerless, inept at fulfilling one simple task. you think that, if you had been more forceful, zhongli wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in. keqing wouldn’t listen to you, and maybe you were imaging sympathy in her amethyst irises when you tried – god, you tried – to defend your coworker.

it’s not fair.

childe tsks, although it’s not out of irritation but more so impatience. always one for instant gratification, but you’re so desperate to find some ounce of emotion at the sight of his partner being treated so poorly that you feel tears well up in your eyes.

after a minute of silence is when he admits to your sniffling. although he doesn’t extend comforts, but leaves you to your own devices.

“if he wants to, he can rejoin as an enforcer. which isn’t the worst option out of the few he’s given.” the ginger leaps off the back of the van, and makes way for zhongli – but not before giving you some final words as you meet the topaz eyes of the former inspector.

“don’t blame your pretty head about it; he knew what he was getting into. and at least you can drop the honorifics and just call him zhongli now. he’s always told me how he wishes it was just that simple with his friends.”

Annals of Emperor Xuan, part 1

[From JS001]

The Propagating August Emperor [xuan huangdi] taboo Yi, courtesy name Zhongda, was a native of Xiaojing village in Wen county, Henei. His family was of the Sima clan. His ancestors originated from Emperor Gaoyang's son Zhongli, who was the Summer Official Invoking Brightness. Successively for Tang [Emperor Yao], Yu [Emperor Shun], Xia and Shang, they for generations were Invokers.

Reaching the Zhou, they used the Summer Official as Marshal [sima]. His descendant, the Earl of Cheng, Xiufu, in the time of King Xuang of Zhou [r. 827 – 782 BC], as he as a hereditary official had successfully pacified the Xu region, was bestowed to use the office as family. Because of that it became the clan name.

Between Chu and Han, Sima Ang was a Zhao general who with the various lords attacked Qin. When Qin was destroyed, he was established as King of Yin with his seat in Henei [in 206 BC]. Han used his territory as a commandery. His sons and grandson thereupon had their families there.

Eight generations from Ang was born the General who Conquers the West, Jun, courtesy name Shuping. [d. 115 AD] Jun begot the Grand Warden of Yuzhang, Liang, courtesy name Gongdu. Liang begot the Grand Warden of Yingchuan, Jun, courtesy name Yuanyi. Jun begot the Intendant of Jingzhao, Fang, courtesy name Jiangong.

The Emperor was Fang's second son. As a young he had unusual authority, was clever, bright with many great schemes. He was broadly studied with wide knowledge, and devoted to Ru teachings. At great chaos at the end of Han, he often with sighs had in his heart worries for under Heaven [?]. The Grand Warden of Nanyang, Yang Jun, from the same commandery, was famous for understanding people. He saw the Emperor, not yet a youth, and found [?] him to be of uncommon capacity.

The Master of Writing Cui Yan of Qinghe and the Emperor's elder brother Lang were friends. He likewise said to Lang: “Sir's younger brother is intelligent, brilliant, clear and just, unbending in judgement [?] and a peerless talent, not reached by the master [?].”

In Han's 6th Year Jian'an [“Establishing Calm”, 201 AD], the commandery recommended him to the office of Reporting [Officer]. Emperor Wu of Wei was Minister of Works. He heard and nominated him. The Emperor knew Han's fortunes were about to fade, and did not desire to bend to the Cao clan. He explained that due to joint pains he was not able to stand up or sit. Wu of Wei sent a person at night to go and secretly probe him. The Emperor firmly lay down and did not move.

When Wu of Wei become Imperial Chancellor [in 208 AD], he again nominated him to be a Literary Scholar. He counselled the one to go [to deliver the appointment], saying: “If he again circle around, then right away collect him.” The Emperor was afraid and assumed the post.

And so he came to travel and live with the Heir-Apparent [Cao Pi], moved to Gentleman Attendant of the Yellow Gates, transferred to Gentleman Consultant and Associate of the Bureau of the East to the Imperial Chancellor and amassed to transfer to Master of Accounts.

Following the punishing of Zhang Lu [in 215 AD], he spoke to Wu of Wei, saying: “Liu Bei used deception to capture Liu Zhang. The people of Shu are not yet adhering, and yet he is away contending for Jiangling. This opportunity cannot be missed. Now with a show of force Hanzhong and Yi province will be shaken into stirring. Advance troops to approach them and their might must surely crumble. Because of this power, we can easily have merit and influence. A sagely person is unable to disregard the hour and so does not lose the hour!”

Wu of Wei said: “A man is not suffering enough. Now that he has obtained Longyou, he also desires to obtain Shu!” Having spoken so, he did not follow [the advice].

Then following that, they punished Sun Quan and routed him. When the army returned and Quan dispatched envoys to request to surrender, sending up a petition calling himself a subject, he pleaded to explain Heaven's Instructions. [That is, he is urging Cao Cao to become emperor.]

Emperor Wu of Wei said: “Does this boy wish to place me above the burning furnace coals?”

He replied: “Han's fortunes are nearly finished. Your Highness, out of ten parts under Heaven [you] have nine, thereby managing affairs in it [?]. Quan's calling himself a subject, the opinion of Heaven and Man. Yu [Shun], Xia, Yin, Zhou were not therefore humble yielders, but feared Heaven and understood the Instruction.”

The state of Wei had been established [in 217 AD], when he moved to Palace Cadet to the Heir-Apparent. He every time gave great plans and always had unusual strategies, he was heavily relied on by the Heir-Apparent. He, Chen Qun [SGZ22], Wu Zhi [SGZ21] and Zhu Yue [or Zhu Le?] were known as the Four Friends.

He was moved to be Marshal of the Army. He spoke to Wu of Wei: “Formerly when Jizi laid out plans, he put food at the head. Now those who till under Heaven are no more than two hundred thousand, not passing through the state's distant counting rods [?]. Although arms and armour are not yet rolled up, we ought start ploughing and start guarding. [?]” Wu of Wei accepted this, and so applied himself to agriculture and amassed grain, the state had plentiful supplies.

The Emperor also spoke of the Inspector of Jing province, Hu Xiu's rough violence and the Grand Warden of Nanxiang, Fu Fang's haughty extravagance. Neither should stay at the border. Wu of Wei did not investigate it. When Shu's general Yu besieged Cao Ren at Fan, Yu Jin and others with the Nine Armies were all lost. Xiu and Fang as a result surrendered to Yu, and the siege of Ren became considerably pressing.

At this time the Han emperor's capital was Xuchang. Wu of Wei, due to him being close to the traitors, desired to move north of the He. The Emperor admonished, saying: “Jin and others were defeated by water, not by fighting and defending it. If the nation's great plans have not yet been diminished and [we] easily move the capital, then that is to show the enemy weakness, also the people of the Huai and the Mian will be greatly agitated. Sun Quan and Liu Bei, on the outside relatives but on the inside estranged, Yu has gained the idea, that Quan is without desires. [We] can explain to Quan, and cause him to grab his [Yu's?] rear, then the siege of Fan will loosen itself.” Wu followed this. Quan as a result dispatched the general Lü Meng [SGZ54] westward to raid Gong'an and uproot it. Yu thereupon was seized by Meng.

Wu of Wei due to Jing province's neglected populace [?] and the agricultural garrisons in Yingchuan being closely pressured by the southern bandits, in all cases desired to move them [?]. The Emperor said: “Jing and Chu are simple to strip off, easy to bestir but difficult to calm. Guan Yu is just broken, the various evil-doers in hiding or run off look on with expectations. Now if we move those who are good, then we harm their opinion [of us], it will cause those who have left not daring to return again.” [Wu of Wei] followed this. Afterwards those who had absconded heard and again returned to their professoins.

When Wu of Wei passed away at Luoyang [on 15 March 220], the court in the countryside was imperilled and afraid. The Emperor brought order to the funeral affairs, inside and outside were respectful. Therefore received the imperial coffin [lit. “catalpa palace” from the wood used] to return to Ye.

Biography of Zhou Ji

[From JS058. He was the son of the Zhou Chu posted earlier. When Western Jin fell apart in the 300s, he took part in suppressing various rebellions in his native south-east, then joined Sima Rui’s fledgling Eastern Jin government. He took part in a conspiracy to kill the notherners and replace them with southerners, but the plan leaked and Zhou Ji died soon after.

Ji had the courtesy name Xuanpei. In stubbornness, resoluteness and addiction to passing judgements, he had his father's manners, but in civil studies he did not reach him. He shut the gates and purified himself and did not foolishly mix and wander. Gentlemen and friends all looked at his manners with respect and dread. Because of that he had a reputation for being heavily one-sided.

As a capped youth, the province and commandery called on him, but he did not go. The Inspector had just then arrived. He summoned him to be Assistant Official of the Separate Carriage. He humbled himself with perfect courtesy and just then started to accept instructions. He amassed to recommending his name to the steward's office [?]. He was lifted up as a Flowering Talent and appointed Consulting Gentleman.

At the beginning of Taian [302 – 303], the bewitching thieves Zhang Chang [JS100], Qiu Chen and others assembled multitudes in Jiangxia. The hundred families followed them to similarly revert. Emperor Hui sent the Overseer of the Army, Hua Hong, to punish them, [he was?] defeated at Mount Zhang. Chang and others gradually flourished, killing the General who Pacifies the South, Yang Yi. The Great General who Garrisons the South, the King of Xinye, Xin, and others were being overturned and lost [?]. Chang's separate leader Feng Yun attacked Xu province. Shi Bing attacked Yang province. The Inspector, Chen Hui, set out and fled. Nomg thereupon roughly had the land of Yang.

Ji privately desired to punish Bing and secretly connected with the Forward Interior Clerk of Nanping, Wang Ju. Together they pushed forward the Grand Warden of Wuxing, Gu Mi as Commander-in-Chief of the Army Affairs of the Yang Province's Nine Commanderies. And Shi Tong, a native of Jiangxia, raised up righteous troops and beheaded the Grand Warden of Wuxing set up by Bing, Ou Shan, and the various Senior Clerks.

Bing dispatched his general Qiang Du to comand several tens of thousand people to resist Ji. Ji approached in columns and beheaded Du. At the time the General of the Right, Chen Min [JS100], led the multitudes from Guangling to assist Ji and beheaded Bing's separate leader Zhao Peng at Wuhu. Because of that he and Ji together in the van attacked Bing at Jiankang.

Bing fled north to throw in with Feng Xun. Xun's Marshal, Zhang Tong, beheaded Xun and Bing to use in surrender. Xu and Yang were both at peace. Ji did not speak about merits and rewards. The scattered multitudes returned to [their] homes.

Chen Min rebelled in Yang province and used Ji as Grand Warden of Anfeng, concurrently General of the Fourth Grade. Ji claimed illness and did not act and secretly sent messengers to inform the General who Garrisons the East, Liu Zhun. [He?] caused to send out troops to approach the Jiang, himself being an insider [?], cutting his hair as a pledge. Zhun was at Shouchun and dispatched the Controller-Protector Heng Yan to led the multitudes and go east.

At the time Min's younger brother Chang was General who is Broadly Martial and Interior Clerk of Liyang, using Qian Guang of Wuxing as Marshal. Ji secretly suggested Guang kill Chang. Ji, Gu Rong [JS068], Gan Zhuo [JS070] and others used troops to attack Min. Min's multitudes ran and dispersed. He fled north on a single horse. They caught him at the border of Jiangcheng and beheaded him at Jiankang and exterminated his three kindred.

The King of Donghai, Yue [JS059], heard of his fame, and summoned him to be Adjutant. A decree assigned him to Gentleman of the Masters of Writing and Cavalier Gentlemen. In both cases he did not act. When Emperor Yuan first headquartered in Jiangzuo, he used Ji as Associate on the Granary Board.

Earlier, Qian Hui, a native of Wuxing, likewise raised righteous troops to punish Chen Min. Yue instructed him to General who Establishes the Martial, and sent him to lead his followers to assemble at the capital city. When Hui arrived at Guangling, heard Liu Cong was pressuring Luoyang. He was fearful and timid, and did not dare advance. The Emperor urged him to use the army at the agreed upon time. Hui therefore planned rebellion.

At the time Wang Dun [JS098] moved to Master of Writing. Undertook [they?] ought [?] to summon him to accompany Hui west. Hui secretly desired to kill Dun, taking as pretext accordingly [him?] recommending the affair. Dun heard it, and fled to inform the Emperor.

Hui thereupon killed the Colonel of Measures and Support, Chen Feng, burnt and torched the official buildings, and titled himself Great General who Pacifies the West and Commander-in-Chief of Eight Provinces. He coerced Sun Hao's son Chong, establishing [him] as King of Wu, then killed him.

He came to rob Ji's county. The Emperor dispatched General Guo Yi, Commandery Commandant Song Dian and others to punish him. Both, due to troops being few, did not dare to be the van. Ji again led the districts and villages' righteous multitudes. He, Yi and others advanced together, punished Hui, beheaded him, and sent the head to Jiankang.

Ji trice settled Jiangnan, beginning again the royal plan. The Emperor praised his deeds, and used Ji to act as General who Establishes Power and Grand Warden of Wuxing, enfeoffed as Marquis of Wucheng county.

After the robbery and chaos in Wuxing, the hundred families starved and hungered, bandits and thieves acted openly [?]. Ji had considerable power and kindness. The hundred families respected and loved him. Within less than a year there was tranquillity and calm inside the borders.

The Emperor, due to Ji again and fostering righteous troops, his deeds and sincerity equally luxuriant, therefore used Yangxian, Changcheng's Western district and Danyang's Yongshi to separate off as Yixing [“Righteous Fostering”] commandery, thereby calling to attention his merits by it.

Ji's ancestral clan was strong and abundant, the haven of people's feelings [?]. The Emperor suspected and dreaded him [it?]. At that time, the people and gentlemen of the central provinces assisted and helped the kingly profession. And yet Ji himself accordingly did not obtain transfer, inside his breast hating and resenting. He repeatedly had Diao Xie [JS069] make light of it. His shame and anger became greater and greater.

At the time the Libationer to the General who Garrisons the East, the King of Donglai, Hui [?], likewise was insulted by Zhou Kai [?]. Therefore he and Ji secretly planned to execute the various people controlling the government, push forward Ji and Dai Ruosi [JS069] to with various southern gentlemen together serve the Emperor using the warp and woof of the generation's affairs.

Before this, the refugee leader Xia Tie and others lodged at the Huai and Si. Hui secretly in a letter with Tie ordered them to raise up troops. Himself undertook with Ji to use the Three Wu to respond to them. By the beginning of Jianxing [313 – 317], Tie had assembled a multitude of several hundred people. The Grand Warden of Linhuai, Cai Bao [JS081], beheaded Tie and thereby knew. Hui heard of Tie's death, feared his crime, and fled to Ji. Ji killed him and buried him in the pig pen.

The Emperor heard and secreted it [?]. He summoned Ji to be Marshal who Garrisons the East. He had not yet arrived when he was again changed and conferred General who Establish the Martial and Grand Warden of Nan commandery.

Ji had already gone south and come to Wuhu, when again sent down an order saying: “Ji in successive generations is loyal and zealous, righteous, sincere, celebrated and distinguished, respected and loved by the Orphaned One. Now use him as Army Consultant and Libtationer, General as before, advanced in feudal rank to Duke, blessed ranked companion belonging to the one similar opening to the regulations of the state. [?]”

Ji was angry at the revolving changes, and also understood his plans had leaked. He thereupon in sadness and indignation broke out from his back [?] and he passed on. At the time he was 56 years old. When about to pass on, he spoke to his [son] Xie, saying: “Those who killed me are the various loutish boys. [If you are?] able to return them, then [you are?] my son.”

When the people of Wu spoke of the people of the central provinces, they called them “louts” [cāng傖]. For that reason he spoke like that.

He was bestowed General who Assists the State, posthumous title Loyal and Zealous [zhonglie]. His son Xie inherited.
