Draft:Cui Renji

In this Chinese name, the family name is Cui.

Cui Renji (崔仁冀) (926–988), courtesy name Ziqian (子遷), was an official of the Wuyue kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, serving as academician of the Tongru Academy and chancellor under Qian Chu (錢俶) (King Zhongyi). Born in Qiantang (modern Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province), though some sources identify him as from Fenghua.[1]

Cui Renji devoted himself to study from youth and demonstrated literary talent, entering government service as an academician of the Tongru Academy. When King Qian Chu dismissed Shen Huzi (沈虎子) from administrative duties, Cui Renji was appointed to replace him. When Emperor Taizu of Song summoned Qian Chu to court, Cui Renji advised: "The sovereign is endowed with heroic martial qualities and is invincible wherever he turns. To preserve your clan and maintain your reputation is the superior strategy." Qian Chu adopted this counsel. In 977, while Qian Chu was at Bianjing (Kaifeng), Chen Hongjin (陳洪進), the Qingyuan Jiedushi of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, surrendered his territory to Song. Qian Chu submitted a memorial requesting the abolition of his own titles as King of Wuyue and Commander of All Horses and Soldiers Under Heaven. Emperor Taizong of Song issued an edict refusing the request. Cui Renji, assessing the situation, urged Qian Chu: "The court's intention is self-evident. If Your Majesty does not promptly surrender your territory, calamity will befall you." The ministers on the left and right vehemently argued against this. Cui Renji sternly declared: "We are now in their grasp, a thousand miles from our homeland. Only with wings could we fly away!"[1] Qian Chu, having no alternative, joined with Renji in the decision to submit a memorial surrendering his territory, offering up thirteen prefectures, one army, and eighty-six counties within his realm. Emperor Taizong appointed Cui Renji as vice Huainan Jiedushi. He subsequently served as Minister of the Guards, Acting President of Dalisi, and Prefect of Fuzhou, dying in office in 988, at the age of sixty-three.
