嗣恭起州縣吏，以課治進至顯官，及晃事株戮舶商，沒其財數百萬私有之，代宗惡焉，故賞不酬功。 Sigong had risen from a county clerk through merit in governance to high office. In the Huang affair he executed merchant sailors wholesale and seized millions in private wealth. Daizong despised this, and Sigong's rewards never matched his achievements.
