Biography

韦艺。
隋书卷四十七 列传第十二:
  艺字世文,少受业国子。周武帝时,数以军功致位上仪同,赐爵修武县侯,邑八百户。授左旅下大夫。出为魏郡太守。及高祖为丞相,尉迥险图不轨,朝廷微知之,遣艺季父孝宽驰往代迥。孝宽将至邺,因诈病,止传舍,从迥求药,以察其变。迥遣艺迎孝宽。孝宽问迥所为,艺党于迥,不以实答。孝宽怒,将斩之,艺惧,乃言迥反状。孝宽于是将艺西遁,每至亭驿,辄尽驱传马而去。复谓驿司曰:"蜀公将至,宜速具酒食。"迥寻遣骑追孝宽,追人至驿,辄逢盛馔,又无马,遂迟留不进,孝宽与艺由是得免。高祖以孝宽故,弗问艺之罪,加授上开府,即从孝宽击迥。及破尉惇,平相州,皆有力焉。以功进位上大将军,改封武威县公,邑千户。以修武县侯别封一子。高祖受禅,进封魏兴郡公。岁馀,拜齐州刺史。为政清简,士庶怀惠。在职数年,迁营州总管。艺容貌瑰伟,每夷狄参谒,必整仪卫,盛服以见之,独坐满一榻。番人畏惧,莫敢仰视。而大治产业,与北夷贸易,家资巨万,颇为清论所讥。开皇十五年卒官,时年五十八。谥曰怀。
