及文帝崩，高宗受遺詔為尚書令入輔，仲舉與左丞王暹、中書舍人劉師知、殷不佞等，以朝望有歸，乃遣不佞矯宣旨遣高宗還東府。 When Emperor Wen died, Emperor Xuan took the testament as director of the masters of writing and entered to govern. Zhongju, with the left assistant Wang Xian and secretariat attendants Liu Shizhi and Yin Bujiu, judged where the court’s hopes lay and sent Bujiu to forge an edict ordering Emperor Xuan back to the Eastern Mansion.
初，仲舉子郁尚文帝妹信義長公主，官至中書侍郎，出為宣城太守，文帝配以士馬，是年遷為南康內史，以國哀未之任。 Earlier Zhongju’s son Yu had married Emperor Wen’s sister, the Senior Princess of Xinyi. He rose to attendant gentleman of the secretariat, then went out as administrator of Xuancheng, and Emperor Wen gave him troops and horses. That year he was named interior minister of Nankang but had not yet taken office because of the state mourning.
光大元年八月，前上虞縣令陸昉及子高軍主告其謀反，高宗在尚書省，因召文武在位議立皇太子，子高預焉，平旦入省，執之，送廷尉，其夕與到仲舉同賜死，時年三十。 In the eighth month of Guangda year 1 (567), the former magistrate of Shangyu, Lu Fang, and one of Zigao’s army commanders reported a plot to rebel. Emperor Xuan was in the masters of writing office and called the officials to discuss the crown prince. Zigao came at dawn, was seized and sent to the court of trials, and that evening was granted death with Dao Zhongju. He was thirty.

世祖崩，廢帝沖昧，高宗錄尚書輔政，僕射到仲舉等知朝望有歸，乃矯太后令遣高宗還東府，當時疑懼，無敢措言。 When Emperor Wen died, the Deposed Emperor was young and ignorant; Emperor Xuan assumed the recorded affairs of the masters of writing as regent; vice director Dao Zhongju and others knew that court expectation had a direction and therefore forged an empress dowager order sending Emperor Xuan back to the eastern palace; at the time there was doubt and fear, and none dared speak.
