Trieu Kien Duc

The old chronicles say

After killing the king, the queen dowager and the Han envoys, Lu Gia sent word to Tan Vuong in Thuong Ngo and to the commanderies and districts, and then set him up as king. The words Viet wife stand in the main text of the Shiji itself. The king who was killed was the son of a mother from Ham Dan, the one Anh Te had chosen as heir; the king who was set up was the eldest son of the same king, and his mother was Viet. In the amnesty that opened the war, Emperor Wu names him beside Lu Gia: Lu Gia, Kien Duc and their kind have rebelled and set themselves up, as calmly as if it were nothing.¹

When the Han army reached Phien Ngung in 111 BC, Kien Duc and Lu Gia were both holding out inside the city. It was set on fire, and at first light the whole city surrendered to Phuc Ba, but the two of them had already fled by night with a few hundred followers, out to sea. The man who captured him was To Hoang, formerly a colonel's marshal, who was made Marquis of Hai Thuong. The Complete Annals tell this passage along the same line; the only difference is that they call Kien Duc king.¹²
