His ancestral home was Yangzhai, Henan (now Yuzhou, Henan). At the end of the Jin Dynasty, he moved south to Qiantang, Hangzhou (now west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang). His father, Chu Liang, was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Dynasty Li Shimin Literature Museum. When the official reaches Tongzhi, he will always serve as a casual rider. Chu Suiliang Chu Suiliang was well versed in literature and history. In the tenth year of Zhenguan (636), he was moved from Secretary Lang to Living Lang. He was good at calligraphy, and his good calligraphy was recommended to Taizong by Wei Zheng, and he was appreciated. In the fifteenth year, he advised Taizong to suspend the practice of Zen. In the same year, Qi Julang moved to admonish the officials. During the Zhenguan period, Taizong favored his fourth son Wei Wangtai, and Suiliang proposed that the prince and kings should be treated according to certain standards. In the 17th year, the prince Cheng Qian was deposed for murdering King Tai of Wei. Suiliang and Changsun Wuji persuaded Taizong to make the ninth son Jin Wang Li Zhi the prince (i.e. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi). The following year, Suiliang was appointed as the Minister of Huangmen and participated in the government affairs. When Taizong planned the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, he held different opinions, especially against Taizong's personal expedition. In the 22nd year, he was appointed Zhongshu Ling. In the 23rd year, when Taizong was dying, he and Wuji were called together as ministers of Gu Ming. In the first year of Emperor Gaozong's Yonghui reign (650), Suiliang was impeached for forcibly buying the land of the translator of Zhongshu at a low price, and was appointed as the governor of Tongzhou. Three years later, he was summoned back and served as Minister of History and the third rank of Tongzhongshu, and he became prime minister again. In the fourth year, he served as the minister's right servant. In the sixth year, Emperor Gaozong wanted to depose Queen Wang and make Wu Zhaoyi his queen. He believed that Queen Wang was from a famous family and had no fault, so he tried his best to oppose the abolition of the establishment. As a result, he was demoted to the governor of Tanzhou, transferred to the governor of Guizhou (now Guilin, Guangxi), and was demoted to the governor of Aizhou (now Thanhhua, Vietnam). Details
