Book of Northern Qi, Chapter 5Volume 5 Annals 5: Emperor Fei · 1 passage

乙巳，太師、常山王演矯詔誅尚書令楊愔、尚書右僕射燕子獻、領軍大將軍可朱渾天和、侍中宋欽道、散騎常侍鄭子默。 On the yisi day Prince Yan of Changshan, grand preceptor, forged an edict and had executed Yang Yin, director of the Masters of Writing; Yanzi Xian, right vice-director; Kezhuhun Tianhe, commanding general of the palace guards; Song Qindao, palace attendant; and Zheng Zimo, attendant of the scattered cavalry.

Book of Northern Qi, Chapter 6Volume 6 Annals 6: Emperor Xiaozhao · 2 passages

時楊愔、燕子獻、可朱渾天和、宋欽道、鄭子默等以帝威望旣重，內懼權逼，請以帝為太師、司州牧、錄尚書事； At the time Yang Yin, Yanzi Xian, Kezhuhun Tianhe, Song Qindao, Zheng Zimo, and the others saw how great his prestige had become and secretly feared the pressure of his authority. They asked that he be made grand preceptor, governor of Sizhou, and recorder of the Masters of Writing;

坐定，酒數行，執尚書令楊愔、右僕射燕子獻、領軍可朱渾天和、侍中宋欽道等於坐。 They had barely settled in and taken a few cups when he seized Chief Minister Yang Yin, Right Vice Director Yanzi Xian, Commander-in-Chief Kezhuhun Tianhe, Palace Attendant Song Qindao, and the rest where they sat.

可朱渾天和又每云：「若不誅二王，少主無自安之理。」 Kezhuhun Tianhe also said repeatedly, "Unless the two princes are killed, the young emperor can never be secure."

於是愔及天和、欽道皆被拳杖亂毆擊，頭面血流，各十人持之。 Thereupon Yang Yin, Tianhe, and Qindao were beaten with fists and clubs until blood ran from their heads and faces; ten men held each of them.

羊為愔也，「角」文為用刀，「道人」謂廢帝小名，太原公主嘗作尼，故曰「阿麼姑」，愔子獻、天和皆帝姑夫云。 Sheep stood for Yin; the character for 'horn' splits into 'use' and 'knife'; 'Daoist' meant the deposed emperor's childhood name; the princess of Taiyuan had once been a nun, hence 'Auntie'; Zixian and Tianhe, both sons-in-law of the house, were tied to the rhyme.

可朱渾天和，道元之季弟也。 Kezhuhun Tianhe was the youngest brother of Daoyuan.
