Book of the Later Han, Biography of Wenyuan, Translation of Biography of Mi Heng

Your name is Zhengping, and you are like a plain person. He is rarely talented in debating, but he is strong-willed and arrogant, and he likes to be arrogant and arrogant. In Xingpingzhong, he took refuge in Jingzhou. At the beginning of Jian'an, I made a promise to come and visit. When I first arrived at Yingchuan, I felt a prick in my heart, and now that I had no comfort, all my tattoos were gone. At that time, Xu Du was newly built, and wise men and officials gathered from all directions. Someone asked Heng: "Did Yu follow Chen Changwen and Sima Boda?" He said to him, "How can I follow Tu Gu'er?" He also asked: "What do Xun Wenruo and Zhao Zhichang say?" Heng said: "Wen Ruo can borrow some help. When mourning, young adults can ask the chef to treat guests. "Only those who were good at it were Kong Rong of Lu and Yang Xiu of Hongnong. He is often referred to as: "The eldest son is Kong Wenju, and the younger son is Yang Dezu. The remaining sons are busy, not enough to count." Rong also loved his talents deeply.

Later Huang Zu was on Mengchong's boat, gathering guests, and Heng's words were not submissive. Zu was ashamed, so he laughed at him. Heng Geng looked at him familiarly and said, "Damn master! What's wrong with you?" Zu was furious and ordered five hundred generals to come out and wanted to add B258. Hengfang cursed loudly and Zu was angry, so he ordered him to be killed. The ancestor's book Su Jiheng was killed immediately. Shooting apprentice Qi came to save him, but he was unable to do so. The ancestors also regretted it, so they thickened the coffin and collected it. Hengshi was twenty-six years old, and many of his articles were lost.

Ni Heng, whose courtesy name was Zhengping, was from Pingyuan (now Zibo, Shandong). He had literary talent and eloquence when he was young, but he had an upright and arrogant personality. He liked to criticize current affairs and look down upon others. During the Xingping period (the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty), he took refuge in Jingzhou. In the early days of Jian'an (the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty), he went to Xudu to study. As soon as he arrived in Yingchuan (today's Xuchang), he hid a wooden board with inscriptions on his body. Later, he had no place to go (and was not appreciated), so that the tattoos on the board were unclear. At that time, Xudu had just been established, and talented scholars, ministers and counselors gathered here from all over the country. Someone asked Mi Heng: "Why don't you go to Chen Qun (Zhangwen) and Sima Lang (Boda)?" Mi Heng replied: "How can I make friends with people who kill pigs and sell meat!" Someone also said Ask him: "How about Xun Yu (form name Wenruo) and Zhao Rong (form name Zhichang)?" Mi Heng said: "Xun Wenruo can lend his face to mourn (referring to Xun Yu's mourning face), and Zhao Zhichang can let him Manage kitchen meals." Mi Heng was only on good terms with Kong Rong of Lu and Yang Xiu of Hongnong (now Huayin, Shaanxi). He often said: "My eldest son Kong Wenju (Kong Rong, courtesy name), and my youngest son Yang Dezu (Yang Xiu, courtesy name Zude). The other sons are mediocre and not worth mentioning." Kong Rong also liked his talents very much.

Later, Huang Zu held a grand banquet on the Mengchong ship (a kind of warship). Ni Heng made rude remarks. Huang Zu felt ashamed, so he stopped him. But Mi Heng stared at Huang Zu and said, "Old man! What did you say?" Huang Zu was furious and ordered his guards to escort him out, intending to torture him with a stick. Ni Heng still cursed, and Huang Zu was very angry, so he ordered him to be killed. Huang Zu's chief secretary had always resented Ni Heng, so he immediately killed him. Huang She (Huang Zu's son) came to rescue him barefoot, but he couldn't make it in time. Huang Zu also regretted it, so he buried Ni Heng generously. Mi Heng was twenty-six years old at the time, and most of his articles have been lost.
