甘露元年三月,皓遣使隨紹、彧報書曰:「知以高世之才,處宰輔之任,漸導之功,勤亦至矣。孤以不德,階承統緒,思與賢良共濟世道,而以壅隔未有所緣,嘉意允著,深用依依。今遣光祿大夫紀陟、五官中郎將弘璆宣明至懷。」〈《江表傳》曰:皓書兩頭言白,稱名言而不著姓。 《吳錄》曰:陟字子上,丹楊人。初爲中書郎,孫峻使詰南陽王和,令其引分。陟密使令正辭自理,峻怒。陟懼,閉門不出。孫休時,父亮爲尚書令,而陟爲中書令,每朝會,詔以屏風隔其座。出爲豫章太守。 干寶《晉紀》曰:陟、璆奉使如魏,入境而問諱,入國而問俗。壽春將王布示之馬射,旣而問之曰:「吳之君子亦能斯乎?」陟曰:「此軍人騎士肄業所及,士大夫君子未有爲之者矣。」布大慙。旣至,魏帝見之,使儐問曰:「來時吳王何如?」陟對曰:「來時皇帝臨軒,百寮陪位,御膳無恙。」晉文王饗之,百寮畢會,使儐者告曰:「某者安樂公也,某者匈奴單于也。」陟曰:「西主失土,爲君王所禮,位同三代,莫不感義,匈奴邊塞難羈之國,君王懷之,親在坐席,此誠威恩遠著。」又問:「吳之戍備幾何?」對曰:「自西陵以至江都,五千七百里。」又問曰:「道里甚遠,難爲堅固?」對曰:「疆界雖遠,而其險要必爭之地,不過數四,猶人雖有八尺之軀靡不受患,其護風寒亦數處耳。」文王善之,厚爲之禮。 臣松之以爲人有八尺之體靡不受患,防護風寒豈唯數處?取譬若此,未足稱能。若曰譬如金城萬雉,所急防者四門而已。方陟此對,不猶愈乎! 《吳錄》曰:皓以諸父與和相連及者,家屬皆徙東冶,唯陟以有密旨,特封子孚都亭侯。孚弟瞻,字思遠,入仕晉驃騎將軍。弘璆,曲阿人,弘咨之孫,權外甥也。璆後至中書令、太子少傅。〉紹行到濡須,召還殺之,徙其家屬建安,始有白紹稱美中國者故也。夏四月,蔣陵言甘露降,於是改年大赦。秋七月,皓逼殺景后朱氏,亡不在正殿,於苑中小屋治喪,衆知其非疾病,莫不痛切。又送休四子於吳小城,尋復追殺大者二人。九月,從西陵督步闡表,徙都武昌,御史大夫丁固、右將軍諸葛靚鎮建業。陟、璆至洛,遇晉文帝崩,十一月,乃遣還。皓至武昌,又大赦。以零陵南部爲始安郡,桂陽南部爲始興郡。十二月,晉受禪。
