Shi Xie

Shi Xie , Weiyan, was a man from Guangxin. Shi Xie served as Imperial Secretariat Cadet, from which he later resigned. After his father's death, Shi Xie was removed from prefect of Wu and became the Grand Administrator of Jiao Zhi province during the Later Han. Shi Xie was a scholar who would often enjoy reading the ''Spring and Autumn Annals.'' In the year 210 AD, Shi Xie submitted to Sun Quan. Shi Xie regularly sent an envoy to Sun Quan of the Wu Kingdom. Shi Xie had been in office for over forty years. He died at the age of 90 sui, or 89 years in Western recognition, in the fifth year of Huang Wu . After Shi Xie's death, Sun Quan thought the region was too far away and cut the province. Jiaozhi was then its own province. Lu Dai was named inspector of the Jiaozhi province and Chen Shi the new Grand Administrator. In response to this Shi Xie's son, Shi Hui, took his father's position of Grand Administrator. Shi Hui refused Lu Dai and Chen Shi to enter the province. Nevertheless Lu Dai had an imperial decree that allowed the execution of Shi Hui. Shi Kuang was sent to persuade Shi Hui to allow Lu Dai to enter. The next day, Shi Hui and his accomplices were murdered. Later, the rest of the Shi family was reduced to common status.
