其鎮湖南也，令孤亙、崔儆並為部刺史，不守法，憬以正彈治之，皆遣客暴憬失於朝。 While he governed Hunan, Linghu Gen and Cui Jing served as subordinate prefects and broke the law. Jing disciplined them properly, and both sent agents to denounce his misconduct at court.

及為相，乃擢儆自大理卿為尚書右丞，亙方貶衢州別駕，引為吉州刺史，人以為賢。 Once he became chief minister he promoted Cui Jing from director of the Court of Judicial Review to Right Vice Director of the Secretariat. Linghu Gen had just been demoted to vice prefect of Quzhou, yet Jing brought him back as prefect of Jizhou, and people judged this magnanimous.
