先是，張浚自中書出為右僕射，梁祖判官高劭使梁祖蔭求一子出身官，省寺皆稱無例，浚曲為行之，指揮甚急，吏徒惶恐。 Earlier, when Zhang Jun left the Secretariat to become right vice director, Gao Shao, a judge on the staff of the Founder of Liang, had the Founder's yin request an initial appointment for a son. All the capital ministries and courts said there was no precedent, but Zhang Jun bent the rules to carry it out. His order was extremely urgent, and the clerks were terrified.

浚聞之，慚悚致謝，頃由是知名，梁祖亦獎之。 When Zhang Jun heard of this, he was ashamed and alarmed and offered his thanks. Qing thereby gained a reputation, and the Liang founder also commended him.
