時制，吏遭大喪者，百日後皆給役。有司徒吏解弘遭父喪，後有軍事，受勑當行，以疾病為辭。詔怒曰：「汝非曾、閔，何言毀邪？」促收考竟。柔見弘信甚羸劣，奏陳其事，宜加寬貸。帝乃詔曰：「孝哉弘也！其原之。」

Deeds
After Xie Hong’s father died, the regulations of the time required him to return to service after one hundred days. Later, when military affairs arose, he was ordered to set out. He pleaded illness as an excuse, angering the Wei emperor, who ordered him taken into custody and interrogated. (Recorded in the histories)
Seeing that Xie Hong was indeed frail, Gao Rou submitted a request for leniency. The Wei emperor praised Xie Hong’s filial piety and issued an edict pardoning him. (Recorded in the histories)
