【Born into a family】
Chen Qun was born in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the family was very prominent. His grandfather Chen Yu, father Chen Ji, and uncle Chen Chen were all famous in the world.
According to the record of "Fu Zi": If you die, the world will hang, 30,000 people will be buried, and there will be hundreds of people who make hemp. There is also a record in "The Acts of the Sages": The general He Jin sent a pendant to the shrine, and said Mr. Wen Fan. At that time, the name of Yu and Ji Gao was written together, and Chen was matched with it, and the world name was Sanjun. Every Zaifu is killed, and the rate is at the same time, and the lambs and geese are flocked, and they are handed over. The people of Yuzhou are all picturesque, Ji and Chen.
When Chen Qun was young, he was already favored by the elders in the family, and his grandfather Chen Yu often thought that this son was strange, and said to the elders of the township sect: "This child will definitely prosper my sect." "Lu Guo Kong Rong has always been talented and arrogant, his age is about Chen Ji, Chen Qun between the two fathers and sons, so first with Chen Ji as friends, and then with Chen Qun, so he is famous. Chen Qun admired the Xun clan in Yuzhou, and once discussed it with Kong Rong.
【Liu first, then Lu】
After Liu Bei was recommended by Tao Qian as the assassin of Yuzhou, he took Chen Qun as a farewell. At that time, Tao Qian died, Liu Bei was ready to take over Xuzhou, Chen Qun advised Liu Bei not to go, he thought that the external Yuan Shu would inevitably come to crusade against Xuzhou, and Lu Bu might also take the opportunity to attack, and there might not be a good result, Liu Bei didn't listen, and then things turned out as expected.
Chen Qun was later promoted to Maocai, except for Ren Zheling, he did not take office, so he took refuge in Xuzhou with his father Chen Ji. After Cao Cao broke Lü Bu, Chen Qun and his father returned to Cao Cao together.
【Potency Cao Wei】
Cao Cao recruited Chen Qun as a subordinate of Sikong Xi Cao Peng. At that time, someone recommended Wang Mo of Le'an and Zhou Kui of Xiapi, and Cao Cao recruited them as officials. Chen Qun returned the conscription decree to Cao Cao intact, believing that these two people were not of good moral character and would have trouble sooner or later. Cao Cao didn't listen. Later, Wang Mo and Zhou Kui were really killed for breaking the law, and Cao Cao apologized to Chen Qun for this.
Later, Chen Qun also recommended Chen Jiao of Guangling and Dai Qian of Danyang, both of which were used by Cao Cao. Later, the Wu people rebelled, Dai Qianzhong died, and Chen Jiao also became a famous minister, so the world praised Chen Qun for being a discerning person.
At that time, Guo Jia was one of Cao Cao's main advisers and won Cao Cao's trust, but his behavior was not enough to be inspected, so Chen Qun reported him.
Chen Qun was successively appointed as the county magistrate of Xiao County, Zan County, and Changping County. After his father's death, he resigned and returned to his hometown, mourning and keeping filial piety. Later, as Situ Peng, he was listed as an excellent in the official examination, and was recommended to serve as the secretary of the imperial history who was in charge of the law, and later transferred to the military of the prime minister who participated in the military planning of the prime minister's office.
After the establishment of the Wei state, Chen Qun was promoted to the position of Zhongcheng in charge of the impeachment of lawless officials. At that time, there was a great controversy in the imperial court about whether to resume corporal punishment, Cao Cao once asked Chen Qun's opinion, Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan and others were in favor of resuming corporal punishment, and Cao Cao also agreed with their proposal, but the opposition was too loud and fruitless.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Wei Wei rebelled, and Liu Wei, the younger brother of Liu Hui, the squire of the Yellow Gate, was lured by Wei Wei. Chen Qun spoke to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also said: "Liu Hui is a famous minister, and my original intention is to pardon him." So he was just transferred to his official position. Liu Hui was deeply impressed by Chen Qun's virtue, but Chen Qun thought: "Discussing how to sentence is for the state, not for private individuals, and besides, the decision to pardon you was originally from a wise lord, how can I know?" "Chen Qun is broad-minded and never arrogant, and always has been.
Later, Chen Qun was transferred to serve as the attendant of the Son of Heaven, and was also in charge of the selection and recommendation of the prime minister Cao Peng. He never had personal prejudices about people and things in the court, but always valued his reputation and never imposed people in an unjust way. When Cao Pi was the crown prince in the East Palace, he had deep respect for him, treated him like a friend, and often praised Chen Qun through the words of Confucius: "Since I have Yan Hui, the relationship between the students and me has become closer." ”
【Wen and Ming Period】
After Cao Pi took the throne (220), he made Chen Qun the Marquis of Changwu Pavilion and migrated to Shangshu. During this period, Chen Qun established the law of nine official people, which became a historical system. In the same year, Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, Chen Qun moved to Shangshu and servants, added to the service, migrated to Shangshuling, and entered the Marquis of Jueying Township.

Cao Pi returned and authorized Chen Qundu to lead the naval army. Cao Pi returned to Xuchang, and then worshiped Chen Qun as the general of the town army, concurrently served as the middle protector army, recorded the Shangshu affairs, and took charge of the government, and his status was second only to the three dukes.
Chen Qun attaches great importance to his wife and brother Xun Yi and regards it as strange; He also opened up the northerners, Fu Yi, for Peng. He also recommended Guan Ning, a hidden sage in the world. In the early years of the Huang Dynasty, Cao Pi wanted to pursue the parents of the Empress Dowager Bian, Chen Qun argued with reason and persuaded Cao Pi, and Cao Pi also hid his edict in the Taiwan Pavilion, so that it would always be a posterity. After Liu Ba's death, Chen Qun sent a letter to Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, to inquire about Liu Ba's news, and then persuaded Zhuge Liang to surrender with Wang Lang and others.
After Cao Pi became seriously ill, Chen Qun, together with Cao Zhen and Sima Yi, accepted the edict to assist the government. After Emperor Cao Rui of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he made Chen Qun the Marquis of Yingyin, increased the number of food and yi by 500 households, plus the 1,300 households previously sealed, and authorized him to build a government office with Cao Xiu, the general of the Eastern Army, Cao Zhen, the general of the Chinese army, and Sima Yi, the general of the Fu Army, and recruited subordinate officials by himself. It didn't take long for him to be promoted to be a commoner, still recording affairs, and taking charge of government affairs.
When Cao Rui first came to power, Chen Qun put forward a lot of his own ideas to help Cao Rui. Later, Cao Zhen attacked Shu, Chen Qun also argued with reason, put forward his own views, Cao Rui also handed over Chen Qun's sparseness to Cao Zhen for reference, but Cao Zhen took advantage of this edict to send troops directly, and later because of the rain, Cao Zhen finally retreated.
In the third year of Emperor Taihe of Wei Ming (229), Chen Qun, Liu Shao and others added and deleted Han laws and promulgated Wei laws, adding nine articles on the basis of the nine chapters of the Han Dynasty, and changing the Han laws to criminal names, which were listed at the top of the whole laws.
In the sixth year of Taihe (232), Cao Rong's beloved daughter Cao Shu died, and she was posthumously crowned Princess Pingyuan Yi. Chen Qunshang advised him, but Cao Rui didn't listen. Later, the imperial court built a large number of buildings and palaces, so that the people delayed the agricultural time. Chen Qun wrote twice, and Cao Rui reduced his efforts in building the palace.
On the 24th day of December in the fourth year of Qinglong (February 7, 237), Chen Qun passed away, and he was called Marquis Jing. His son Chen Tai (Chen Tai is also very powerful in history) is the heir. Cao Rong remembered Chen Qun's merits, so he gave it to Chen Qun's household and made a son a liehou.
