覺羅寶興宗室敬徵宗室禧恩陳官俊卓秉恬 Jueluo Baoxing, the imperial clansmen Jingzheng and Xi'en, Chen Guanjun, and Zhuo Bingtian

陳官俊，字偉堂，山東濰縣人。 Chen Guanjun (style name Weitang) was from Weixian, Shandong.

道光元年，命各省明定陋規，中外臣工多言窒礙，官俊亦疏陳不可行，詔嘉之，予議敘。 In Daoguang 1 (1821), when the court ordered provinces to abolish informal fees, most officials objected; Guanjun agreed and was commended and marked for promotion.

會密諭留心察訪官吏賢否、政治得失，官俊恃曾直內廷為宣宗所眷，意氣甚張。 Entrusted with secret orders to report on officials, he grew arrogant, trusting in his old intimacy with the emperor.

山西巡撫成格追劾官俊在學政任毆差買妾，妄作威福，大開奔競。 Shanxi Governor Cheng Ge then accused him of beating runners, buying a concubine, and encouraging corruption while education commissioner.

上以官俊於毆差買妾已自承不諱，曾薦舉魏元烺、邱鳴泰，人材尚不繆； The emperor noted Guanjun had confessed to the beating and concubine, and that his nominees Wei Yuanlang and Qiu Mingtai showed he could still judge talent;

惟所述太監往河東查訪鹽務控案，事出無稽，解職就質，命長齡道出山西，傳旨面詰成格，亦以不能指實引咎，遂兩斥之。 but the story of eunuchs investigating salt at Hedong was fiction. Guanjun was dismissed to stand trial; Changling was sent to confront Cheng Ge, who could not prove his charges, and both men were removed.

官俊降編修，罷直上書房。 Guanjun was reduced to compiler and expelled from the Upper Study.

事覺，語由官俊閒談漏洩，回奏复諱飾，詔斥失大臣體，褫職。 Word spread through Guanjun's loose talk; he then covered up in his memorial and was dismissed for unworthy conduct.

官俊再起，歷典鄉會試、殿廷禦試，每與衡校。 Restored to favor, he repeatedly chaired provincial, metropolitan, and palace examinations.

福承譴黜，詔斥官俊容隱不奏，罷總師傅，議降三級調用，從寬留任。 Tong was dismissed; Guanjun was rebuked for shielding him, stripped of the chief tutorship, and spared demotion on leniency.
