時陝西巡撫劉蓉驟起膺疆寄，為編修蔡壽祺所劾，蓉自陳辯，疏中引及胡林翼密薦之詞，又倚任布政使林壽圖，為人所忌。 At the time Shaanxi Governor Liu Rong, who had risen swiftly to frontier command, was impeached by Compiler Cai Shouqi. Liu defended himself by citing Hu Linyi's secret recommendation and his reliance on Administration Commissioner Lin Shoutu—both of which made him enemies.

言官遂劾壽圖湎酒廢事，舉劾不公，並訐蓉漏洩之罪，於是命瑞常偕尚書羅惇衍往按之，疏白其無罪，惟坐壽圖演戲及蓉陳奏失當，並予薄譴。 Censors then charged Shoutu with drunken neglect and unfair personnel decisions, and accused Liu Rong of leaking secrets. Rui Chang and Minister Luo Dunyan were sent to investigate and cleared them of serious guilt, finding only that Shoutu had attended plays and Liu's memorial was improper; both received mild censure.

劉蓉素嘗學問，懷負非常，漢中之賊，本所專辦，而竄擾四出，尤當誓志盪除，方為不負。 Liu Rong was a scholar of real ambition charged with Hanzhong, yet rebels ranged everywhere. He must vow to destroy them or fail his charge.
