初，帝不豫，前淄州刺史劉遂清薦泰山僧一人，雲善醫，及召見，乃庸僧耳。 When the Emperor had first fallen ill Liu Suiqing, former prefect of Zi, recommended a Mount Tai monk said to be a fine physician; when summoned the man proved to be a mere charlatan.

宮中神其事，故有是命，識者嫉遂清之妖佞焉。 The palace treated the tale as miraculous and issued the appointment; the knowing blamed Suiqing for superstitious flattery.
