- Sheng Xian
Chinese
t=盛憲
s=盛宪Sheng Xian, courtesy name Xiaozhang (孝章), was a man from
Kuaiji (會稽) in the lateHan Dynasty of ancientChina .He was at one point the Administrator of Wu Commandery (吳郡, roughly modern
Suzhou ,Jiangsu ), when he recommended oneGao Dai (高岱) for government service. Around 193, whenXu Gong took over Wu Commandery by force, Gao took Sheng and hid him at the home of a military officer,Xu Zhao (許昭). To dissuade Xu Gong from further prosecution, Gao Dai went to Xu province to seek the help of Tao Qian. Tao Qian showed nominal support for their cause, and Xu Gong did not pursue them any further.When
Sun Ce was conquering the commanderies near the region later in 199,Cheng Pu suggested attacking Xu Zhao, but Sun, citing Xu Zhao's giving sanctuary to Sheng andYan Baihu as indication of Xu Zhao's faithfulness, did not do so. Nonetheless, Sun Ce saw Sheng Xian's high reputation as a threat to his own authority, and Sheng Xian's life was in jeopardy. Around 202, Sheng Xian's close friendKong Rong persuadedCao Cao to give Sheng some imperial position as protection. Cao Cao gave Sheng the rank of Commandants of Cavalry (騎都尉), but before the commission arrived, Sheng Xian was killed by Sun Ce's successor,Sun Quan .As a result of Sheng Xian's execution, two of Sheng Xian's followers,
Dai Yuan (戴員) andGui Lan (媯覽), fled Sun Quan's court and killedSun Yi and Sun He (孫河), members of Sun Quan's clan. They planned to defect to Cao Cao by summoning his officerLiu Fu . However, Sun Yi's widow devised a plan to trap the two, and the rebels were subsequently killed.Sheng Xian was survived by a son, Sheng Kuang (盛匡); he fled to Cao Cao and was given a junior military office there.
