秦秀：西晋时期的忠直之士，早年便注重学问与品行，以此著称。咸宁四年，他参与讨论太傅何曾的谥号，主张以“丑缪公”来谥之，以警戒其他王公大臣。尽管建议未被采纳，但他的言辞却让朝廷中的人感到恐惧。
秦秀对佞臣持有强烈仇视，对于权臣贾充尤为鄙视。咸宁五年，当司马炎决定发动灭吴战争并任命贾充为大都督时，秦秀担忧地对亲近的人说：“贾充只是一位文官，却担当征伐东吴的大任，我将会哭着送大军出征。”有人劝止他，这次战役最终成功，秦秀的担忧被证明是多余的。
太康三年，当贾充去世后，再次需要议定其谥号时，秦秀继续表达不满。他指责贾充没有传子嗣给宗族，而是由外孙继承，是“悖礼溺情，以乱大伦”，建议谥号为“荒公”。然而，这一建议也未被采纳。
在东吴覆亡后，参与平定的王浑与王濬争功，导致朝野认为王濬功劳巨而赏赐不足。 Qin Shiu, Li Mi 和 太子洗马 Meng Kang collectively petitioned for justice on behalf of Wang Jun. Emperor Wu subsequently promoted Wang Jun to the rank of General Who Guards the Army and granted him the title of Master Who Upholds Justice.
Qin Shi's recommendations were not always heeded, but his influence was significant. He served as a professor for twenty years before passing away in office. His legacy is remembered in historical accounts such as the "Book of Jin" and "Worldly Matters," which praise his integrity and commitment to upholding moral principles despite facing opposition from powerful figures within the imperial court.
