性聰敏，達練事體，百司文簿，經目必曉，而修身守位，以智自全，議者比漢之胡廣。 He was quick-witted and thoroughly understood how government worked; a glance at any document from any ministry was enough for him to grasp it. Yet he cultivated himself and kept his post by prudence, preserving himself through tact—critics compared him to Hu Guang of the Han.
