内客省使李彦韬、端明殿学士冯玉用事，共谗之。 Li Yantao of the Inner Service and Feng Yu of Duanming ruled the whispering gallery against him.

帝欲骤黜维翰，大臣刘昫、李崧皆以为不可，卒以玉为枢密使，既而以为相，维翰日益见疏。 The emperor meant to oust Weihan at once. Liu Xu and Li Song forbade it. Feng Yu took Military Affairs, then the chief councillor’s seat; Weihan faded.

乃见冯玉等计事，而谋不合。 He sought Feng Yu and the rest—but they would not agree.
