二年冬，被詔入晉陽宮，出與元暉業同被害。 In the winter of the second year he was summoned by edict to Jinyang Palace; on leaving he was killed together with Yuan Huiye.

元暉業，字紹遠，魏景穆皇帝之玄孫。 Yuan Huiye, styled Shaoyuan, was a great-great-grandson of Emperor Jingmu of Wei.

暉業以時運漸謝，不復圖全，唯事飲啖，一日一羊，三日一犢。 As the times waned, Huiye ceased to plot for his own survival; he gave himself only to eating and drinking — a sheep each day, a calf every three days.

暉業之在晉陽也，無所交通，居常閑暇，乃撰魏藩王家世，號為《辯宗錄》，四十卷，行於世。 At Jinyang, Huiye kept to himself. In his leisure he compiled the genealogies of Wei's imperial princes under the title "Records for Distinguishing Clans," forty juan, and it circulated widely.

孝友臨刑，驚惶失措，暉業神色自若。 At the block Xiaoyou panicked; Huiye's bearing never changed.

暉業弟昭業，頗有學問，位諫議大夫。 Huiye's younger brother Zhaoye was a scholar of some note and rose to grand adviser.

建元元年，子暉業訴復王爵。 In Jianyuan year one his son Huiye petitioned to restore the princely rank.

初，弼嘗夢人謂之曰：「君身不得傳世封，其紹先爵者，君長子紹遠也。」 Earlier Bi had dreamed that someone told him, "You will not pass the enfeoffment down in your own lifetime; your eldest son Shaoyuan will restore the former rank."

弼覺，即告暉業，終如其言。 When Bi awoke he told Huiye at once, and in the end it proved true.
