繇長子基，字敬輿。年十四，居繇喪盡禮，故吏饋餉，皆無所受。〈吴书曰：基遭多难，婴丁困苦，潜处味道，不以为戚。与群弟居，常夜卧早起，妻妾希见其面。诸弟敬惮，事之犹父。不妄交游，门无杂宾。〉姿容美好，孫權愛敬之。權為驃騎將軍，辟東曹掾，拜輔義校尉、建忠中郎將。權為吳王，遷基大農。權嘗宴飲，騎都尉虞翻醉酒犯忤，權欲殺之，威怒甚盛，由基諫爭，翻以得免。權大暑時，嘗於船中宴飲，於船樓上值雷雨，權以蓋自覆，又命覆基，餘人不得也。其見待如此。徙郎中令。權稱尊號，改為光祿勳，分平尚書事。年四十九卒。後權為子霸納基女，賜第一區。四時寵賜，與全、張比。基二弟，鑠、尚，皆騎都尉。

權既為吳王，歡宴之末。自起行酒，翻伏地陽醉，不持。權去，翻起坐。權於是大怒，手劍欲擊之，侍坐者莫不惶遽。惟大司農劉基起抱權諫曰："大王以三爵之後殺善士，雖翻有罪，天下孰知之?且大王以能容賢畜眾，故海內望風，今一朝棄之，可乎？"權曰："曹孟德尚殺孔文舉，孤於虞翻何有哉！"基曰："孟德輕害士人，天下非之。大王躬行德義，欲與堯、舜比隆，何得自喻於彼乎？"翻由是得免。權因敕左右，自今酒後言殺，皆不得殺。

張溫字惠恕，吳郡吳人也。父允，以輕財重士，名顯州郡，為孫權東曹掾。卒。溫少修節操，容貌奇偉。權聞之，以問公卿曰：“溫當今與誰為比？”大（司）農劉基曰："可與全琮為輩。"太常顧雍曰："基未詳其為人也。溫當今無輩。"權曰："如是，張允不死也。"征到延見，文辭占對，觀者傾竦，權改容加禮。罷出，張昭執其手曰："老夫托意，君宜明之。"拜議郎、選曹尚書，徙太子太傅，甚見信重。
