姜晟金光悌祖之望韓崶 Jiang Cheng, Jin Guangti, Zu Zhiwang, and Han Feng

韓崶，字桂舲，江蘇元和人。 Han Feng, whose courtesy name was Guiling, came from Yuanhe in Jiangsu.

崶少慧能文，由拔貢授刑部七品小京官，累擢郎中。 Bright and literary from youth, he entered the Ministry of Punishments as a junior secretary through the tribute-student selection and rose to director.

蔡牽方擾台灣，海疆多事，崶籌軍備杜接濟甚力，遷湖南布政使。 With Cai Qian's pirates troubling Taiwan and the coast in turmoil, he worked hard to ready defenses and cut off their supplies, and was made provincial treasurer of Hunan.

崶方奉使河間讞獄，未與畫諾，上以崶先於召對面陳，意存開脫，且部事素由崶先覈定，跡近專擅，降授廣東按察使。 Feng was away in Hejian reviewing cases and had not countersigned the proposal. The emperor believed he had already signaled leniency in audience and had long pre-approved ministry business himself—conduct that looked like overreach—and demoted him to judicial commissioner of Guangdong.

總督吳熊光不即遣兵驅逐，以罪罷，命崶兼署總督。 Governor-General Wu Xiongguang had not sent troops at once to expel them and was dismissed. Feng was ordered to act additionally as governor-general.

十四年，崶查閱澳門夷民安堵，因疏陳：「西洋人於其地舊設砲台六，請自伽思蘭砲台迤南，加築女牆二百餘丈，於前山寨駐專營，蓮花莖增關徬石垣，新湧山口築砲台，填蕉門海口，以資控制。」 In 1809, finding Macao's foreign residents at peace, he memorialized: "The Westerners maintain six batteries there. From Jiasilan southward, add two hundred-odd zhang of parapet, post a dedicated garrison at Qianshan, strengthen the Lianhuajing passes with stone walls, build a battery at Xinyong Hill Pass, and fill the Jiaomen estuary to tighten control."

逾年，海盜張保仔就撫，烏石二、東海霸以次誅降，賜花翎。 Within a year the pirate Zhang Bao'er submitted to pacification; Wushi Er, Dong Haiba, and others were killed or surrendered in turn, and Feng was awarded the peacock feather.

崶父是升年八十，給假三月歸為壽。 His father Shisheng was eighty; he was granted three months' leave to go home and celebrate his birthday.

詔斥含混取巧，命大學士托津等查訊，侍郎恩銘、常英、司員恩德等皆有賄囑情事，崶亦解任就質，坐失察司員得賄，嗣子知情，親屬撞騙，議奪職遣戍，因年老，從寬，命效力萬年吉地工程處。 The throne denounced this as evasive trickery and ordered Grand Secretary Tuojin to investigate. Vice Ministers Enming and Chang Ying and Secretary En De were all implicated in bribery. Feng was removed to give testimony, punished for failing to detect a secretary's bribes, his son's knowledge of them, and relatives' fraud, and recommended for dismissal and exile. Because of his age he was spared and sent to serve at the imperial mausoleum construction office.

金光悌、韓崶，皆筦部務最久，光悌治事尤厲鋒鍔，號刻深雲。 Jin Guangti and Han Feng both managed ministry affairs the longest. Guangti was especially sharp and unyielding in office and was known as harsh and severe.
