時太尉錄尚書事趙郡王叡先恒居內，預帷幄之謀，子琮素知士開忌叡及領軍臨淮王婁定遠，恐其矯遺詔出叡外任，奪定遠禁衛之權，因答云：「大行，神武之子，今上又是先皇傳位，群臣富貴者皆是至尊父子之恩，但令在內貴臣一無改易，王公已下必無異望。 At the time grand mentor and recorder of the masters of writing affairs, Prince of Zhao commandery Rui, had long lived inside the palace and shared counsel at the curtain. Zicong knew He Shikai resented Rui and general-in-chief of the guards Prince of Linhuai Lou Dingyuan and feared they might forge the final edict to send Rui out on provincial duty and strip Dingyuan of the guard command. He answered, "The late emperor was Gao Huan's son, and the present sovereign too received the throne from his predecessor. Every minister's wealth came from the sovereign father and son. Leave the great men inside the court unchanged, and the princes and dukes below will surely have no other wish.
