時黃門侍郎崔㥄作色而前，謂儁曰：「廣陵王為主，不能紹宣魏網，[3]布德天下，為君如此，何聖之有！ Then Yellow Gate Attendant Cui Lin stepped forward with a dark look and said to Jun: "The Prince of Guangling as ruler could not carry on and spread the Wei mandate,[3] or extend virtue through the realm—a lord like this, what sage is he!

黃門郎崔㥄從齊獻武王入朝，熏灼於世，收初不詣門。 Cui Lin, Attendant of the Yellow Gates, rode into court in the train of Duke Xianwu of Qi and wielded enormous influence. Shou never went near his gate.

㥄為帝登祚赦，云「朕託體孝文」，收嗤其率直。 When Lin drafted the emperor's accession amnesty with the phrase "I take my form from Emperor Xiaowen," Shou laughed at its blunt literalism.

正員郎李慎以告之，㥄深忿忌。 Regular Gentleman Li Shen reported Shou's mockery, and Lin nursed a deep grudge.

時前廢帝殂，令收為詔，㥄乃宣言：「收普泰世出入幃幄，一日造詔，優為詞旨，然則義旗之士，盡為逆人； When the former deposed emperor died and Shou was ordered to draft the mourning edict, Lin publicly accused him: "During the Putai reign Shou moved freely in the inner court. He can turn out a polished edict in a day—so by that logic every man who raised the righteous banner becomes a rebel.

收有賤生弟仲同先未齒錄，因此怖懼，上籍，遣還鄉扶侍。 Shou had a younger half-brother, Zhongtong, who had never been officially registered. Frightened by Lin's attack, Shou entered him in the family register and sent him home to care for their father.
