In the third year, in the first month of Wu Jia, Zhaoxia arrogantly established an official, claiming to be the Minister of Gold, and taking C as the Prime Minister with a long history, which saved the trouble of power and action.

Since things are blazing, C can't get rid of them, and it's useless to die. So he and Li He murdered Zhaoxia. Bingji sent his brother Huan to meet with the generals and make peace with them. So I spread the word and blocked it as before. The rising sun usurped the throne for forty-one days.

An Bingchuan translation:

An Bing is a native of Guang 'an. During the Xichun period, he took the Jinshi exam and was transferred to the main book of Dazu County. When he was the satrap of Qin Long, in the third year of Jiatai, there was a flood in the county, and An Bing told Chen Shou Justin Cheung to distribute food money to the victims. Soon after, people dug stones to divert water, and there was no more flood.

Everyone knows the strength of the army. Whenever there is a drought, the people have difficulty in eating. An Bing used his property to buy tens of thousands of stone meters downstream to help. After the matter was reported to the emperor, the imperial edict was issued to raise the rank by one level. In the second year of Jubilee, he became the ambassador of Sichuan, and Wu was his deputy. Cheng Song invited An Bing to discuss it in the evening.

An Bing told Wu that he would delay the affairs of state, but he didn't understand. Because An Bing was a guest of Wu's father, he always knew Wu. On the first day of the third year of the Jubilee, Wu assumed a pseudonym to build a hundred officials, surrendered, and appointed An Bing as the prime minister, Changshi and the agent bank.

The situation is serious, and An Bing is also involved. Considering that it's no good to die in vain, on the surface, his participation is secret but planned. So he, Li and others conspired to get rid of Wu. An Bing sent his younger brother An Huan to contact the generals and give each other a high five. So he sent a message to all walks of life and settled down as before.

Wu usurped the throne for 41 days. On May Day of March, (An Bing) stated the reasons for Wu's rebellion and the situation of suppressing rape and rewarding merit under the guise of imperial edict, impeached himself to wait for punishment, and handed it to the messenger in a box containing letters, gold seals and Tibetan Geng cards accepted by Wu's head and Wu.

At that time, peace was being negotiated, and only An Bing warned to rectify the troops, and his prestige was remarkable.

At that time, all the border passes were destroyed by Jin Bing, and An Bing wrote to the prime minister at that time, saying, "Now, we make friends outside the customs, provide food every month, and let them keep their fields and houses respectively. When things are settled, we will incorporate them into the army and encourage them to farm, which may last for a long time. "

The rebel Zhang Fu, Jian Mo insurrection. Thieves and soldiers rushed from Langzhou to Suining, and there was no place they didn't kill. An Bing will take100000 to Yichang for conscription. Wei Liao Weng wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, arguing that An Bing was useless, and that the thieves and soldiers could not be put down immediately, and that the land of Shu could not be settled.

Even the treacherous court official said, "You must make peace with Xianggong, so that things can be settled." An Bing was appointed by the imperial court as the ambassador of Fu Xuan, Sichuan, so he could act conveniently and appropriately. An Bing said: "I am tireless in serving my country." When they arrived in Suining, the thieves were still sticking to the famous mountain in Zhou Pu (with steep terrain).

An Bing ordered the army to surround the camp, cut off their road of chopping wood and drawing water, and put them in trouble.

Not long after, Zhang Fu and others 17 people were arrested. Before that, Xia people came to North Korea to ask for troops to attack Jin people. An Bing fought and acted, and sent troops to Qin, Gong and Fengxiang respectively, and was appointed as the commander in chief. The troops were stationed in the palace.

Xia Guoren was led by Zi Ningzhong, the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, with more than 200,000 troops. It was agreed that Xia Guojun would fight in the wild and Song Guojun would attack the city. Soon the attack on the public house failed, so the soldiers stopped fighting. An Bing died, sent a funeral report to the emperor, and did not appear in court for two days.
