左都御史郭琇劾鴻緒與髙士奇招權納賄，並及給事中何楷、編修陳元龍，皆予休致。 Left Censor-in-Chief Guo Xiu charged Wang Hongxu and Gao Shiqi with trading in influence and taking bribes, and also named Supervising Secretary He Kai and Compiler Chen Yuanlong; all were forced to retire.

久之羽翼既多，遂自立門戸，結王鴻緒爲死黨，給事中何楷爲義兄弟，翰林陳元龍爲叔侄，鴻緒兄頊齡爲子女姻親，倶寄以心腹，在外招攬。 In time his followers multiplied; he founded a faction of his own. He bound Wang Hongxu to him as a die-hard ally, took He Kai, a supervising secretary, as a sworn brother, treated the Hanlin academician Chen Yuanlong as kinsman in a patron–nephew bond, and linked his children's marriages to Hongxu's elder brother Xuling. All became his trusted agents, recruiting backers throughout the empire.

王鴻緒、陳元龍鼎甲出身，儼然士林翹楚； Wang Hongxu and Chen Yuanlong had risen as palace graduates and stood among the foremost scholars of the realm;

總之髙士奇、王鴻緒、陳元龍、何楷、王頊齡等，豺狼其性，蛇蠍其心，鬼蜮其形。 In sum, Gao Shiqi, Wang Hongxu, Chen Yuanlong, He Kai, Wang Xuling, and the rest have the nature of wolves, hearts of scorpions, and faces of ogres.
