○邵成章藍珪 ○ Shao Chengzhang and Lan Gui

藍珪、康履，初皆為康王府都監、入內東頭供奉官，嚐從康王使金人行營。 Lan Gui and Kang Lu had both begun as chief stewards of Prince Kang’s household and as Inner Entering Eastern Head attendants-in-waiting; they had accompanied the prince on embassy to the Jurchen camp.

中官在外者已誅，更乞康履、藍珪、曾擇等誅之，以謝三軍。” The eunuchs outside the palace are already dead—we now demand Kang Lu, Lan Gui, Zeng Ze, and the rest be killed to satisfy the armies.”

尋捕珪、擇等，皆編置遠州； Soon Gui, Ze, and others were arrested and banished to remote prefectures;

傅等誅，贈履官，諡榮節，召珪等還。 After Fu’s faction was destroyed, Lu was posthumously enfeoffed with the title Rongjie; Gui and the others were summoned back.

珪至，自武功大夫擢內侍省押班。 When Gui returned he vaulted from Military Merit Grandee to Escort Leader of the Inner Attendant Directorate.

太后既還宮，珪奏應幹補授恩，乞聽慈寧宮施行。 After her return Gui memorialized to shower favors on the palace staff and asked that Cining Palace issue the appointments itself.

珪初與履同進，而驕橫不及履，故幸以壽終。 Gui had risen with Lu, but never matched his swagger; thus he was lucky to die in bed.
