高祖受禪，拜司門侍郎。 When Emperor Gaozu accepted the abdication, he was appointed vice minister of the gate office.

帝悅其山泉，留宴三日，因謂衡曰：「往從先皇拜太山之始，途經洛陽，瞻望於此，深恨不得相過，不謂今日得諧宿願。」 The emperor was pleased with its mountain springs and remained feasting three days. He then said to Heng, "When I followed the late emperor in beginning the sacrifice at Mount Tai and passed by Luoyang, I looked toward this place and deeply regretted that I could not visit. I did not expect today to fulfill my long-held wish."
