劉頍時立愛韓企先子:鐸 Liu Yi; Shi Liai; Han Qixian and his son Duo

子鐸 His son Duo

韓鐸字振文，企先次子也。 Han Duo, whose courtesy name was Zhenwen, was Qixian's second son.

熙宗聞其有儒學，賜進士第，除宣徽判官。 When Xizong heard of his learning in the Confucian classics, he granted Duo the jinshi degree and made him a judge of the Palace Secretariat.

鐸感奮，獄或有疑，據經議讞。 Duo was deeply moved. When cases were doubtful he deliberated according to the classics and statutes.

頃之，上謂宰臣曰：「韓鐸年高，不任繁劇，且其母老矣，可與之便郡。」 Before long the emperor told his councillors: "Han Duo is advanced in years and cannot bear heavy duties, and his mother is old—give him a convenient prefecture."

明日戊辰，西面元帥崔立與其党孛術魯長哥、韓鐸、藥安國等為變，率甲卒二百橫刀入省中，拔劍指二相曰：「京城危困已極，二公坐視百姓餓死，恬不為慮，何也？」 The next day, on wuchen day, western marshal Cui Li and his followers Boshulu Changge, Han Duo, Yao Anguo, and others staged a mutiny. Leading two hundred armored soldiers with swords at the ready, they entered the secretariat, drew their blades, and pointed at the two chief ministers: "The capital's plight has reached its limit. You sit by while the people starve to death and show no concern—why?"

乃遣其党韓鐸以太后命往召從恪。 He sent his follower Han Duo with the empress dowager's order to summon Congke.

其党孛術魯長哥御史中丞，韓鐸都元帥兼知開封府事，折希顏、藥安國、張軍奴並元帥，師肅左右司郎中，賈良兵部郎中兼右司都事，內府之事皆主之。 His followers received offices: Boshulu Changge became censor-in-chief; Han Duo overall marshal and concurrent prefect of Kaifeng; Zhe Xiyan, Yao Anguo, and Zhang Junnu all marshals; Shi Su left and right bureau director; Jia Liang bureau director of war and concurrent right bureau director. They controlled all inner palace affairs.
