He served as an official for four dynasties and ten kings, and was scolded as "shameless" for a thousand years. But what he preserved was the household registration, tax rolls, post roads, warehouses, laws and regulations, and the civil service system of the Central Plains. Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied and entered Kaifeng. How much of the set of things he took over was his? No one writes. The historian did not write it. But he knows.
