子廓,第進士,累遷刑部侍郎。大中中,拜武寧節度使,不能治軍。補闕鄭魯奏言:「新麥未登,徐必亂。」既而果逐廓,乃擢魯起居舍人。
Kuo, son of Cheng
His son Kuo passed the presented scholar examination and rose step by step to Vice Minister of Justice. In the Dazhong years he was appointed Military Commissioner of Wuning, but he could not control the army. The Rectifier of Omissions Zheng Lu memorialized: "Before the new wheat is harvested, Xu will surely rise in disorder." Soon afterwards the army did indeed drive Kuo out, and Lu was then promoted to Imperial Diarist. Edit
